Trade Growth Under Democratic Admins Defies War Link
Assistant Secretary of Commerce J. F. Sweet argues American foreign trade rose about 75 percent during the Democratic administration, with six and a half billion dollars in 1916 trade. He says war demand isn’t the sole factor and predicts continued gains postwar as the U.S. strengthens exports, imports shift to raw materials, and domestic industry expands.

Bridgeporter Frightened in Seeking Wife
Mrs. William J. Goss of 329 Pearl Street was the sole Bridgeport resident aboard the merchant vessel Stephano torpedoed by a German U boat. She escaped with passengers after 15 minutes warning, was cared for at Newport, then reached Bridgeport at 5 40 P M. Her husband, William Goss, raced from New York upon learning she was safe, and the pair were briefly reunited at the station before continuing home. The story includes details of the rescue, conveyance, and a separate note on his Nova Scotia roots and fishing family.
