HIGH SCHOOL. BOYS ON STRIKE
 IN HARTFORD

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 24-About 800 Hartford High school boys went on strike this noon. Their grievances were a heightened zone, confinement to school bounds during recess and criticism of the school restaurant. The boys marched down town shouting and singing and extra policemen were hastened on their trail to prevent dis. order and violent disturbance.
 Their particular grievance, is, &C., cording to the volunteer spokesman who represented them today. that the schedule of school hours with the present school years demands a re- cess of about 45 minutes during which time the boys are confined to school bounds and can find no means pleas ing to them to spend the time. This years schedule, school starts at .8:30 in the morning, and stops at 11:57 for a recess which extends to 12:42, then assemblies again for an afternoon ses- sion continuing to 2 o'clock. The boys said today that they wanted the recess shortened to not more than IS minutes duration, and the closing time of the afternoon session set back to 1880.

ALLIED AIR RAIDS
 ARE REPORTED AS VERY DESTRUCTIVE

London, Sept. 24-The increasing destructiveness of Allied air raids is attested to by German prisoners. While statements of this kind must generally be treated with reserve, there Is evidence that this particular information Is very near the truth.
 Valenciennes Station was heavily bombed by British airmen recently. A prisoner subsequently stated that for d number of days following the raids trains were unable to pass through Valenciennes as a big engineer dump had been hit and barrels of oil and explosives were burning and blowing up,
 Afraid was made upon an ammuni- ton dump near Marais Wood, and several photographs taken during the fratd showed the explosion. A party ofsprisoners captured later volunteer ed the information that the dump blew up and that the moral effect was enormous.
 A prisoner is responsible for the statement that not long ago an ann intuition train was hit and blew up in Valenciennes, a fact which fully confirms the British official report that direct hits were obtained upon moving train at valenciennes on the night of May 31.
 Still another report by recently captured German prisoner records that a saw-mIll at Somain managed by a German and employing l5O workmen was completely destroyed, as the result of an air raid. Sonar was bombed by British airmen.
