naval RESERVES
MAY SOON BE IN
REGULAR FORCES
Have Choice of Discharge or
Entering Second Line Of
Defense.

Men who joined the United States
Naval Reserves, fourth class, gener-
ally called the mosquito feet and
commanded locally, by Lieut.. Leonard
H. Dyer, have been severely jolted
by the announcement that they are to
be transferred either to second class
or get their discharges. For men in
service between 21 and 80 this will
mean take second class, which is the
regular navy and includes foreign
service, or get out of the reserves and
go into the national army in their
regular turn whit other men.
There are two versions as to why
this was made. One story is to the
effect that the government intended
from the start to make the change
when the proper time came, but with
held announcement in order to get
more men into service. The other
side is that the volume of unfavora-
bic comment about young men join
ing the reserves to escape combatant
service, made the move wise in or
der to get the best results from the
national army and other land forces.

LACK OF BLANKS
HAMPERINC WORK
OF CLAIM PROBE
Industrial Petitions For Ex-
emption Cannot be Made
Because Of Delay.

An unexpected delay in receipt of
blanks for Industrial exemption claims
threatens to delay completion Of the
national army quota in Bridgeport.
It was learned today at the head
quarters of the District board, located
in the county court house that over
100 applications for exemption claim
ed by policemen, firemen and other
persons upon industrial basis have
been held up by lack of the proper
form required by the government.
At noontime today, for this ascrib-
ed reason, the district board sitting
in Bridgeport had not received one
claim actually certified before notar-
les public for such exemption.
Though the status of 100 or more
men who have sought exemption upon
Industrial grounds, and who accord
ing to the regulations have but five
days in which to file their claims
with the district board, is now in ques-
tion, members of the board 'cite the
Good Reason" clause of the law as
a ground upon which their time limit
for filing applications may be extend
ed by the board.
The wires between Bridgeport and
Washington have been hot Monday
anu i lQSSQdy YAH yiuS uA 6ChS o
quests for a supply of the blanks that
men eligible for the national army
may be supplied with the required
form upon which to make app1ica-
ton for exemption.
A small supply Of the blanks, in
sufficient to care for the men who
will claim such exemption, was re-
ceived this morning and at once sent
to the local examining boards. They
are said to have lasted only few
hours, as appeals are being made by
men examined last week for such
papers who have as yet been unable
to get them.
Additional effort is being made by
the district board to get a proper
supply from Provost Marshal Crow
der, and promises of shipment today
are now received by telegram.
In the event that these blanks dc
not arrive, it is probable that men
who have previously applied and
whose names are in possession Of the
district boards will be granted sufi-
cient additional time to permit them
to get the necessary afIidavits from
their employers. The delay will
however, somewhat prolong the time
necessary for the selection Of the
| total quota of the national army ir
Bridgeport and elsewhere Throughout
the country whore similar shortag'
may exist.

UTILITIES BOARD
GIVES R0RAbACk
'OWER MERGER

this when last month one Of the high
officials of the u. G. I. was present
to assist Mr. Roraback in presenting
his case before the Public Utilities
commission.
Today, however, the commission In
a long finding, set forth the general
balance sheets Of the three companies
involved, and said the public interests
are safeguarded If evidence Is shown
that there is no gross -capitaliza-
ton in the merger and due publicity
Is given to the transaction.
Further. the commission says, in its
office date Is available for use in any
matter of rates or service, and that said
data will not be the controlling weight
Of evidence for amy future complaints
in the matter OF service or unreason-
able rates; subsequent complaint will
be tried individually on their own
merits.
The name of the new corporation is
to be the Connecticut Lighting & Pow
er CO. and the commissions finding. it
is believed, will prevent recurrence Of
the unsatisfactory conditions that ac-
crued to the Connecticut Railway &
Lighting Co. a number of years before
the utilities commission was estab-
lished.

Especial to The F'armer)


Hartford. Aug. Sin a decision
liiied today by the Public Utilities COM
mission. the petition Of the Rocky
River Power Co., ct al, is granted
xith certain safeguards, which the
commission believes will prevent such
results as were predicted in the legis-
,lature several months ago.
According to the commissions ind
ing, the Rocky River Power Co., OF
which J. Henry Roraback is president
and Edgar L. Ropkins of Hartford is
treasurer, Is authorized to purchase
the rights and property of the Housa-
tonic Power Co., a subsidiary OF the
New Haven road of which the road
must divest itself, the United Electric
Light and Water Co, operating in New
Brftain, Waterbury, and the Naugatuck
valley, and the Seymour Electric Co.,
which recently sought to procure the
Beacon Falls Electric Lighting Co.
When MT. Roraback advanced the
project In the recent session of the
Legislature it was declared he was
playing the power interests Of the state
into the hands of the United Gas &
Improvement Co. of Philadelphia and

sion which examined Ats men on Mon
FAY and Tuesday was endeavoring to-
day to determine the results of the
two days work. That the quota of
the second division would not be filed
out of the 500 men already called, was
certain and 200 more were summoned
10 appear at the Elias Howe, Jr., school
in Clinton avenue tomorrow.
AT the rate men have been called in
the first and second. divisions, 1t
would appear that only one out Of
nve is accepted for service. The first
division has called 1850 men to secure
$50 soldiers and the second division
has summoned 1000 to get $50. From
these figures 1T is apparent that 1850
men have been called before the
boards that 700 may be selected from
among them.
This was Alien Day at the Y. M. c.
"A. and only those without papers
were received there. They had not
been examined and were called to
make certain whether or not they
claimed exemption. In some cases,
when the aliens were asked If they
wanted to enlist they replied en-
Enthusiastically and positively in the
Affirmative and were given a date
"1CA luey Will lake the physical ex-
animation. Most Of the aliens who
claimed exemption would also be enti-
tied to it on the ground of having de-
pendents and for the most part the
families spoken OF by the men were
large and generally of children.
There has been a decided change
In spirit among aliens of this city since
the Senate began consideration of the
bill to either select aliens for service
or deport them. Not a few have ex-
pressed the belief that their chances
would be better with the American
army and they are waving exemption
claims in preference to being sent
home to join their national units.
