local allotment was 5000, will make as
good a comparative showing as any
other county of the state.

out this movement, using box cars for
the surplus of their daily packing over
the amount of freezers obtainable.
The Exchange need not point out to its
shippers the tremendous strategic ad-
vantage it would be to all of them by
making an extraordinary effort at this
time to get their fruit off the trees, in
boxes and on the road before danger
of freezing becomes imminent. The
harvesting as we'll as the packing
operation should be speeded up to the
limit.
The Exchange would like to hear
from each of its shippers, giving
information as to whether these rec
concentrations are practical and will
be carried out. The Exchanges traffic
department will be anxiously awaiting
this news in order to enable them in
telligently to cooperate with its ship
pers and the railroads in arranging for
suitable car supply.

STRANGE FLASHES OF LIGHT
 SEEN IN GROTON.
Somebody is Signaling Information,
 Claim Residents.

| Having disposed of the wireless plant sensation. residents of the town of Groton are now very much worked up over the appearance of strange lights at various times of night. and they are deeply sus uspicious that some ebody' is signaling inforn1a ton to somebody eise' somewhere but thus far they have not been sufficiently aroused to find out just what the lights are. Again Tuesday night the strange
 lights were seen by borough residents a little north of Fort Hill Reports of the flashes have from time to time come to the officials of the borough until it was considered wise to notify headquarters at Newport. which War den C. T. Landphere did some weeks ago.
 Watchmen at the standpipe at Bran degee avenue, Groton. were among the first to wonder about the lights, and Clark Whaley of Poquonoc and Robert Dart of the borough were azso keep ing track of them; Others from time to time have wondered what the mes sage of the lights could be, for that they have meaning no one in the borough doubts.
 The flashes appear to be from powerful searchiight and a one time an idea was entertained that the Mis- tuxet waterworks at Mystic might be the headquarters and the lights used for guard purposes, but it was reason ed that if so they would appear every night. which they do not do.
 Wednesday night the flashes were seen about 2 o'clock, and they have frequently been seen at late as o'clock in the morning.
 So great is the interest in Groton that if some steps are not taken by government officials soon private in dividuals will endeavor to ascertain what the matter is and who is operat- ing the flashes.
 It was suggested Wednesday that the flashes came from the searcffiEht used at the railroad bridge over Mystic river. When used 10 illuminate the bridge piers the light would not be visible in the borough. but if for any reason the rays were turned upward they might produce just the effect that has occasioned so much speculation.

 The grounds given above are the only one for exemption or discharge by local board. The rules make 1t clear that the fact that a man claim = ed exemption on his registration card does not -obviats the necessity of his making a formal claim to the exemp- ton board for his district within the prescribed seven days after his notice of having been drafted was mailed to him, but it is provided that another person may claim exemption for him.
 As previously announced, there will be appointed three "boards of review" of five members each t1 Connecticut. which will hear appeals from the rul- ings of the exemption boards. The provost marshal general also has au- thority to appoint a repre- sentative in each of the judicial districts of the state to press the claim of the gov efnment against men who are eviden ly enieavoring to evade military duty. this representa- tive's position to be much like that of a district attorney.
 Only these boards of review which are termed by the provost mar saal general as district boards can receive claims fro discharge on the ground that man IS enga ged in in dustry. including agriculture. found to be necessary to the maintenance of the military esta bIi shment. the effec- tive operation of the military forces Or the maintenance of national inter est during the ernergency." The last phrase would indicate that news papcrmen might be discharged in some cases, if they chose to claim ex- emption on the grounds that they were by their writings assisting in the maintenance of national interest"
