REPORT OF GOVERNMENT REPORTER
 AT BRIDGEPORT PRODUCERS MARKET
nRrket oods sold wholesale titles; wholesale prices

s On this mornings wholesale market there was the usual amount of busi- hess done. Tomatoes went very ra,p- idly as one big buyer bought out most of the loads of the better grade stuff that came in. The price renlained about the same on everything and the demand was pretty steady.
 There was no summer squash in this morning and probably there will be no more in the market this year. Corn is coming in in smaller quantities now and will soon stop. Peppers were in abundance toward the last of the market and probably will be more abundant as the season comes on.E The demand for lima and wax beans went down this morning.
 Peaches were fewer in number this morning because the Wallingford men did not come in. However there were local baskets, more than yesterday and sold cheaper than yesterday for firsts. Fruit is coming more to the front and soon will take more of the attention of the peddlers than vege- tables.

Before the meeting he said that Connecticut was well prepared to take care of all the wounded soldiers that might be sent to the state. From 5000 to 5000 soldiers could be taken care of at present without difficulty.
 There was no question about there being an ample number of places at the disposal of the state for the care of perhaps 10000 -sol1iers if there were cots and beds enough. he said. In some instances persons had offer ed their houses to be turned into hos pitals.

SPECIAL TRAINS FOR CONTINGENT
 GOING TO DEvANS
All Next Weeks Quotas Will Leave Bridgeport en
 Same Day.

The first local division exemption board yesterday completed examina- tions of men for the first draft quota. A call was issued for 150 and all but 21 appeared. Two-thirds of those pre- senting themselves were aliens and their examination was deferred. Of the rest, 10 were rejected; 12 were &C., cepted and filed no exemption claim and 25 were accepted and filed claim for exemption The men accepted have been placed on a reserve list and some of them may not be called to the ~colors.
 The fifth division will begin more examinations Monday, but the num- Der of men to be called had not been determined. The Third division board will also call more men and the num- Der will be decided soon.
 Announcement was made today by Adjt. Gen. George M. Cole that by arrangements with the railroad com pany special trains would take the contingent going to Aver next week and all of the men would go at one time Thursday, Sept. 20. The train schedule will be announced later. This follows the ulans that attended the movement of the National Guard forces at times when they -entrained for camp and during the mobilization for the Mexican border service. Notice from the provost generals office yesterday was to the effect that men exempted from the National Army or rejected on physicial grounds that might be overcome could enlist voluntarily in the regular or other branches of service. Those having conditional discharge on industria grounds may not do so.s
 Only appeals from district boards or | industrial grounds and only those eases which have been before the dis l trict boards can be taken to aht president. The president will not re view dependency claims and the actio1
 of the district board is final.
 I Only 1914 of 239 men called for ex
 aninations by the 18th division board

 day The men who did not appeal are not considered as wilful evaders in

Washington, Sept. 13-Secretary of War Baker, in a statement made pun- lie today, announced that the "Lper- ty Motor," Americas new standarolZ- ed aircraft engine, has passed it's final tests; that in all essentials 1t invited comparison with the best motors the war has produced, and that already one of these engines has broAen the American altitude record.
 Every feature of the part has been standardized and may be produced by a large number of manufacturing plants It embodies the best features in American engineering as well as the best features of European models or the latest types.
 In part Secretary Bakers statement says
 "The United States aviation en- zine has passed it's final tests. They were successful and gratifying The new motor, designated by the signal service as the Liberty motor, is now the main reliance of the United States in the rapid production in large num- bers of high powered battle planes for service in the war. In power, speed, serviceability and minimum weight the new engine invites comparison with the best the European war has pro- duced.
 "I regard the inventor and rapid development of this engine as one ot the really big accomplishments Of the United States since its entry in the war The engine was brought about | through the cooperation of more | than a score of engineers, who pooled their skill and trade secrets in the l war emergency, working with the en, couragement of the Aircraft Produc- | ton Board, the War Department ane the Bureau of Standards
 | "The story of the production of the | engine is a remarkable one. Probably | the war has produced no greater sin
 gle achievement.
 1.-TWO of the best engineers in the country who had never before seer I each other, were brought together al l Washington and the problem Of pro l ducing an all-American engine at the | earliest possible moment was pre-. | scented to them. Their first coNfer- 1 ence, ota June 3, lasted from after,
 noon until 2.30 o'clock in the morn l ing.
 These two engineers were g1gura. :! lively locked in a room in a Wash | ington hotel and charged with the Il O0VelOpAl6nL OI dA olT TPlduC AAtOtSA " use by American aviators over the battlefields of Europe. For five days neither man left the suite of room, l engaged for them. Consulting en 1 gineers and draughtsmen from var
 ious sections of the country were brought to Washington to assist them The work in the draughting room proceeded continuously day ant
 night. Each of the two engineers 1T
 immediate charge of motor develop nent alternately worked 24-houl
 shift. Finally they promised the gov ernment. if given an opportunity they would design 8 satisfactory en ! zine before a working model coult
 be brought from Europe.
 GA remarkable American engin'
 was actually produced three week before any model could have bee1
 brought from Europe. It was prom
 ised that this engine would be devel
 oped before the Fourth of July
 Twenty-eight days after the drawing
 were started the new engine was SC

Is IL possible TO OBTAIN any reliable
figures giving the number of Germ ans
now resident in tho United States and
the number of those of German extrac-
ton?
According to the census of 1910, there
were 2, 400. 200 German born persons In

ninety years more than 5,25O,0oO Ger

would appreciate it very much If
you would give me q short history of
the submarine mine and boat. When
was the first one used, ETC.?
David Bushnell was the first person
to build a practical submarine boat
with which an attack was made.
Bushnels boat attacked the British
ship Eagle at anchor OF Governors
island New York. in 1776. The attack
was successful.
In the same year Bushnell attacked
British vessels at Philadelphia by set
ting adI1ft mines to be carried by the
tide. An error as TO the distance and
the time of the tide rendered the at
tack unsuccessful.
In the war of 1912 the British ship
Families was attacked near New Lon
don by a submarine boat which was
supposed to have been built by Robert
Fulton. 1t was unsuccessful
In 1915 Samuel Colt, the inventor of
the Colt revolver, devised method of
connecting mines by insulated wires
and exploding them by electricity.
Submarine mines were used abroad in
the SchIeswig- Holstein war in 1S4S-50
and in the Crimean war, but with in
different results.
1t remained for the civil war in the
United States to prove the efficacy Of
the submarine mine as well as to de-
velop the ironclad and the turret. The
first successful employment Of a sub
marine in actual warfare occurred off
Charleston when the United States
warship Housatonic was sunk by a
Confederate David, known as the "ci-
gar boat"
