The decision of the British dele- gates to take this course is attended by no signs of lessened confidence among either commission that an agreement for settlement of the debt will be reached, and both sides still are agreed -as to the desirability of { the earliest settlement possible. While the decision came as a surprise to the American delegates who had hoped for a further advancement of the negotiations at today’s meeting, the obligation upon the British com- mission to act in furt accord with the desires of the London cabinet was at the same time fully recognized. The question now arising {s wheth- er an agreement in principle on terms of settlement can be reached in time went astray on the principle involved, but it is loth to say it was all wrong in its facts. So it developed last night that the salary committee had spent many hours going over the details of the salaries under consideration and had’| heard “witnesses.” In all such mat- ters, where the common council does not disagree entirely with the com- mittee on a matter of broad principle, it is quite likely that there would be greater danger of injustice being done %han the reverse were the coun- cil to attempt to pick the work of the committee to pieces by separating mi’lf&v. he resignation of Dr. J.

It speaks well for the New Britain police organization that it has been able to furnish for advancement two such capable men as Chief Hart and Sergeant George Kelly, the latter just selected to fill the place of the late Captain T. W. Grace. Chief Hart bas already given indications of his fitness for the post he. has recently assuméd, and it is expected that Cap- tain Kelly will take over and handle his new duties with no break in the smoothness of the police machinery which so often resuits in the replac- ing of an old and worthy officer with a new man. | Temperamentally and by experi- ence Captain Kelly is well fortified to make an officer. He has had the confidence of men above and below him on the force in the past and the deserved promotion will not afect one of his disposition, emi- nently fair and at times unusually judicial. Thorough familiarity with the details of police work in this city, as well as a tendency to consider a matter from all sides, wiil aid him in this new position as it aids any man in any similar post. efficient FRANCE DOUBTS. Now that France has taken initiative and entered the Ruhr order to collect her reparations Amer- the | in| church services are not held as a rule, is a perfectly legitimate way of spending the holiday—quite as deesnt and proper as playing golf, driving a car, reading the latest murder or divorce news or sleeping away the hours of warmth and sunlight. Many church people believe that the people who would attend such Sunday after- noon games on possibly the one day of the week they have at their dis- posal, are entitled to this innocent pleasure, just as thoroughly as more fortunate people who can take an afternoon off. almost any time they care to are entiticd to enjoy their time as they see fit, The thought occurs, hat if it were to become known on just what Sunday the vote would he taken it is quite likely that many people, not noted for regular attend- ance, might go to that service for the sake of voting in favor of Sunday baseball. It might be a good idea to pass the word among lovers of base- ball to go to church that day. The experience would do them good; they might become regular attendants— and they would have a chance to cast thelr votes in accordance with their incidentally, convictions. WAR THOUGHTS.
