It was annoynced this morning by “Benjamin 1. Miller, of Avon, one of the ‘members of the exemption board for the fifth senatorial district, that ten- tative plans were nearly completed and the selection of men for Uncle Sam’s first draft army wauld take place in a few days. _ At the present the local board is 'occupied in compiling the list of those whose names were first drawn at ‘Washington and the order in which they will be notified to appear for physical examination and to put in their claims for exemption if they so wish. According to statistics the registra- tion in the district was 5,339. This will mean that the towns of Farming- ton, Avon, Burlington, West Hartford, Berlin, Plainville, Southington and Bristol, taken as a whole, will have to furnish 400 men to aid in the fight for democracy. Tt is impossible to determine how many men will be taken from each town, but it is known that a sufficient numbet will be examined to fill the allotment of the entire district and 1,000 men will be called for examina- Until the designated quota is reached and 400 men physically fit for service have been obtained, each man will have to appear before the exemp- tion board in the order in which he was drawn.

He will be given five days after he files his claim to file his proof for exemption. Then his case will be considered by tho authorities. The verdict of whether he shall be drafted shall be pro- nounced after the authorities have considered his proof for exemptian. Only men physically fit, who do not claim exemption and whose proof for exemption is insufficient, will be taken. Aliens without their first papers are also excluded. Letters stating the time and placa at which to appear will be sent out the { first of next week, according to ‘a statement of Mr. Miller this morning, and selection of the men will probably start the last of next week or the early part of the week after. The other members of the exemp- tion board for the district besides Mr. Miller are: Herbert Knox Smith of ‘Farmington and Dr. O'Connell of Bristol. May Reach France First. The first local boy to reach the shores of sunny France will, in all probability be John Ventres, first class fireman on the scout cruiser Chester. At present he is home on furlough from ‘“‘somewhere on the Atlantic.” Alva, a brother, stated that he thought from what John had said that he would be in France before the month was over. Incidentally, the young man comes from a fighting and patriotic family, | having two other brothers in the ser- | vice while still another brother and | his father are members of the Berlin Home Guard. Complaints Made on Bathers. Complaints have been made to the town authorities by a number of people because of the fact that a ma- jority of the bathers that use the five-foot swimming hole, opposite Peck's bridge on the trolley line, wear nothing but a vacant stare. young men wear tights or other bath- ing apparel they may be brought to court. Several years ago, a number of young men were arrested at this place for conducting themselves improperly and arraigned before the judge presid- ing at that time. Eerlin Briefs.

Up to a certain hour the ships are outlined in the darkness by many lights. But all the time there is a scene of activity on board and in the water. The bluejackets with their little white round caps seem to be al- ways moving about, motor dories dart here and there among the ships, orders are called out and occasionally is heard the shrill warning of the horn on the dories. Always the dories are running from ships to shore, load- ed with men going on leaves or re- turning to ship. Wireless and search- signals and semaphores are exchang- ing messages and lights on board each ship flicker up and out in Morse code.

Pdainvillé Newé THREE HUNDRED T0 BE EXAMINED HERE Drait Eligibis of Three Towns Coming to Plainville GWILLIN T0 RECRUIT CLERKS | Registrants in Berlin, Southington and Plainville to Be Scrutinized by Doc- tors In Local Town Hall—Exemp- tion Board to Call 1,000 Man First. Three hundred young men, whose serlal numbers were drawn early in the conscription selection at Wash- ington, will, within a few days, re- | celve orders to report at the Plain- ville Town hall, probably on Friday or Saturday of next week, to under. g0 a physical examination to deter- mine their eligibility for service in the new national army. The progress of | the work dome by the exemption | board for the district in which Plain- ville is included indicates that by Sunday, the list for the entire di- vision will be complete and it will be | | | i | possible to mail notices to registrants | B to be called at this time early enough | to permit of their receipt Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Plainville has been selected by the exemption board as the examination place for the eligibles in Berlin and Southington as well as the local boys and it is planned to have 300 given a physical test in the town building in a single day. One half the num- ber will be notified to appear in the | morning, the physicians reporting for duty at 8 o’clock while the remain- der will present themselves at the aftprnoon session, which will begin at 1 o'clock. The physicians propose to continue their activities until all who appear are examined even if the work carries them well into the night. Acting on the request of Herbert Knox Smith of Farmington, chairman of the exemption board, Stanley S. Gwillim has started to recruit clerks to aid the doctors in their work on examination day. The services of twenty men will be required and it is hoped that at least that number of volunteers can be secured that the work of the doctors may be expedit- | ed. Men between the ages of twenty- one and thirty-one, registered for con- scription, are not eligible for service as clerks on that day, and Mr. Gwil- lim is making an effort to get volun- | teers over thirty-one years old, although the services of capable young men who have not reached their. majority will also be accepted. The physicians in this locality have | agreed to “do their bit” and the ex- | emption board believes that there will be enough medical men on hand to make It possible to examine the three hundred eligibles, who will be ordered to appear, during a single day. Each ! man will undergo a careful examina- tion by two physiclans before he is either accepted or rejected, and all | who receive notices will have to take | the physical test whether they claln exemption or not. This district will have to furnish four hundred men out of nearly 5,400 rvegistrants and it is the intention of the exemption board to call the first thousand drawn to report next week for physical examination. Should the board be unable to get the quota out of this number more will be called later. How many of the Plainville regis- trants will be included in the three hundred who are to be called before the doctors next week cannot be de- termined until the board completes its list, &s towns are not apportioned any particular quota. Eligibles in other towns in the dis- trict, with fhe exception of those in Berlin and Southington, will appear for examination at some other place to be designated later by the exemp- tion board. Distribute Coughlin’s Wealth. Following a hearing in the probate court in Bristol yesterday, an order was issued for the distribution of the estate of the late Patrick Coughlin and James Gray, the administrator, today began preparations to mail checks to the various nieces and | nephews as. their share of the wealth | of the eccentric recluse. After deducting the amount paid to the state as an inheritance tax and the expenses incident to the probating of the estate, Coughlin’s wealth was Of this amount $30,000 was given to the heirs some time ago and during the next few days checks rep- resenting the remaining $21,576 will A number of the relatives of Coughlin who are to share in the dis- tribution of his money live in Plain- ville.

The wind, blowing with almost hur- ricane force, levelled fields of corn and other vegetables, toppled over glant trees, big branches from others, and doing other damage. It put the lighting service out of commission for some time, and the merchants whose places are not equipped for gas, either burned candles last night or closed their stores early. In the wood near White Oak the wind raised havoc and the storm's path was marked this mornng by a wide row of falling trees and the debris distributed by the wind. During the storm a bolt of light- ning struck a hydrant on Whiting street and as a consequence the im- mediate locality was a veritable lake. The water released by the breaking of the hydrant spouted high in the air until it was shut off and the street was_flooded. ; While the storm did considerable damage it served to give relief to the sweltering townspeople, and they re- ceived 1t grateful Miss Cowles Now An Editor.
