 Failed to appear, 99; transferred, 21; accepted without claims, 167; re- jected, 123; claiming discharge for dependents and other reasons, 212; claiming exemption, aliens, etc, IFS. A certified list of the 167 accepted will be sent to the district board to- day.
 The third and fourth districts pro-. ceeded today with their routine work. At the Read school where the last mentioned board is examining, only a few of the 198 men who failed to appear last week, put in appearance today These gave various excuses for their absence and were examined and treated as if they had been on time. The others will be certified to the district board.
 The fifth district will complete ex- aminations Thursday and Friday of this week at the Franklin school on Nichols street. On Thursday all men whose order numbers are be- tween 1,151 and 1,600 will be examin- ed and on Friday those between .1,- 601 and 2,250 will be examined. The sixth district is still checking up last weeks work and new call will be issued for men within a few days.
 At the district board office at the county court house today, there was less confusion than yesterday. The board went into session at II o'clock and will today pass on several ex- emption claims filed by those certified for service up to this time. These claims to be passed upon will be only the cases in which evidence has been ! filed The men have until August II to file the supporting evidence, but many have already done so. The dis 1 trict board will hereafter be. in ses- sion daily until its work is finished. Local board, Division No. 2. of | Briegeporr, consisting of John S Pullman chairman, Henry Lee, clerk
 and w. A. LaField, M. D., physician 1 member, has under consideration pre-
 senting to the United States Attorney
 at Hartford the case of David Bresky l of 1902 Fairfield avenue, who filed an
 aff1davit with them that father and | mother were dependent upon his la
 bor for support, This affidavit was supported by an affidavit of Henry
 Bresky, the father, and Sarah Bresky
 the mother to the same effect.
 The board has refused David Bres ky's claim for aedischarge and ha,
 drafted him for military service.
 The board has been informed ant has reason to believe that Davit Bresky and his father are comfort ably well off and are engaged, to tgether with other brothers, in tn
 produce business on Water street.

Other boards of the city have had the same difficulty, but the number of cases being less made the matter not so conspicuous as in the first district where six times the number of men desired have been called to get the quota.
 The First division board is today continuing the examination of men and will end tomorrow afternoon after having called 2,550 registrants. Judge Bartlett today reported that the work was progressing more rapidly than at the start and the effect of the tightening of the exemption regula- tions, especially as to dependents, is already apparent in the smaller mum Der of claims filed. There is now no question but what the First division will have it's quota and reserve list from the men so far summoned. In the Second division, where HOO men have been examined, Judge Pull

New York, Aug. 14-A vigorous drive against the short interest mark ed today's early trading, General Mo tors being the most conspicuous fea- ture at an opening advance of 5A points. All the steels and equipments were higher by material fraction to almost two points and coppers and tobaccos, together with numerous specialties, made moderate gains. Liberty bonds were active and strong, one lot of $864,000 selling at par.
 Early advances in special stocks were extended during the first half hour but trading suddenly halted later on publication of the pope's peace pro posals. General motors surrendered almost half its gains and steels and other equipments reacted with Marine preferred and Maxwell, the latter los ing ground in anticipation of adverse dividend action later in the day. A heavy trend prevailed at noon, most gains then being wholly forfeited. Lib- erty bonds were in steady demand a, 99.s6 to par and back to 9s.9S.

compels her to change her accus'

And so, when war upsets the

She suffers greatly, perhaps
because she has few intellectual
compensations for her physical
discomforts; she is apt to miss
the big motives for which men
fight; she doesn't always knew.
for instance, the difference be-
tween a democracy and an autoc-
racy, nor why one isn't as good to
live under as the other, provided
her checking account is big.

american military efforts conferred

British flying men made posi-
BILE the Messines victory. In no
single engagement in which the
British, have participated have the
air fighters played SO important
a part.
They do not only put out the
eye" of the German artillery,
thereby decreasing its effective
ness fully 80 per cent, but, hav-
ing driven the German flyers from
the air, they lowered over every
sector of the battle front and gave
minute directions as to where and
when various units could and
should advance.
1t is presumed that the Ger
mans will also seek to profit by
the lesson.
While the allies are confident
of their ability to excel the Ger
man output of flyers and flying
machines, there Is feeling among
airmen that were the tremendous
manufacturing resources of the
United States concentrated on
aerial construction, the 1918 cam
paign would see Germans air
fighters not only outclassed, but
completely smothered.
General Pershing and his staff
arrived in Europe at the precise
moment when they can profit best
by lessons of the Messines victory.
and the outstanding lesson of that
achievement was the tremendous
saving in lives to be attained
through use of the proper machin-
cry Of war.
staff estimates today show the
days fighting of the Wytschaete-
Messines battle cost the British
less than 10000 men. Compare
awe failures in somewhat similar
operations earlier in the war cost
many times this figure.
German prisoners put their own
losses at 35, 900.
Foremost in the saving of life
as judged from the Messines bat
tie, is ability to Kill off the other
fellow from long range-in other
words concentration Of artillery.
But artillery concentration Is not
effective unless it is concentrated
continually, and the only accurate
ly concentrating shell fire is by
aerial observation.
Gen. Plumer's victory encour-
ages the belief here-as already
expressed by American experts
that the war may be decided in
the air.
