presses approval, malntaining that Lady Astor has made out an over- whelming ease for her bill, AGREE ON PLAN FOR THO PLATOONS (Continued Irom Puge 3) LADY ASTOR MAKES . PARLIAMENT RECORD Her Probibition Bill Passes Second Reading--Deleat Inevitable London, March 10.~—(Iy Assoclat- ed Press)—Even though Lady Astor's prohibition bill is not expected to be- come law, despite the fact that it passed its second reading in the house of commons yesterday afternoon by a vote of 338 to ‘66,1t is admitted on all sides that she achieved a remark- able parliamentary success and en- hanced her reputation as a member of the British legislature. Most of the newspapers give Lady Astor front page space this ?\orninm With scarcely an exception they ad- mit that the dlscussion of the bill, which would prohibit the sale of in- toxicants to youths under 18 for con- sumption on the premises where it is sold, was on a high plane and that Lady Astor showed praiseworthy re- straint in presenting her case, y It i also pointed out that the com- mons enjoyed one of the liveliest and hest humored debates ever held, with- out losing sight of the serious side of the question, It is extremely rare for a private member's bill to get such an overwhelming endorsement, The comment of the hostile Morn- ing Post is certainly pertinent when it asks whether the result would have| been the same +if the members had| not known. that the government had declined to give facilities for carrying the bill through the remaining stages. The newspaper also says that it may perhaps be questioned whether the majorify would have heen so large if the sponsor's sex and popu- larity had not heen factors. Proposal Impractical The Post's condemnation is based on the contention that the proposal is impracticable and that if it became law it would be a dead letter “like that absurd ordinance prohibiting boys under 16 from ‘smoking cigar- ettes.” The Daily Mail, a hot opponent of the measure, declares that it is mere- ly the thin end of a prohibition wedge. “It is a foolish Dbill,”” the Mail con- tinues, “whose whole idea is un-Brit- ish in its interference with liberty. We do not want these trans-Atlantic measures introduced here by persons who prefer to live in this country rather than in their own land.” The Expregs, admitting that the bill has much in its favor, adds: “Ap- proval will be sternly qualified by a determination ‘that the bill shall not he a prelude to any intemperate in- vasion of the liberties of citizenship.” On the other hand, the Daily News is wholly favorable to the measure and hopes that the size of yesterday's majority’ will induce the government to reconsider its refusal to grant facil- ities. The Chronicle similarly ex- vided for. There is no provision for the appointment of more than one as- sistant chlef engineer, However, both ‘assistant chief engineer and se: ond assistant chief engineer are su- perior officers in the department, hut neither one of them is chief enginecer. “A civil service examination thero- fore is required ag a preliminary requisite in the appointment of act- ing assistant chief engincer as well as second or third assistant chief cn- glneers, “The same situation is true in the case of appointments in the police force, In the police department pro- motions to superior officers are re- quired to be made from civil service lists in every case except chief of police, “In both police and fire depart- ments therefore the ordinances are specific and there is a clear intent that captains of police and fire de- partments, assistant captains and as. sistant chief engineers and other su- perior officers should be appointed or promoted from civil gervice lists, Appointments otherwise made are by ordinance void. “Of course it might be claimed with considerable rcason therefor that there should be no distinction between a chief engineer and his as- sistant or assistants as the qualifica- tions for the offices ought to be the same. However, the clear language of the ordinances both as relating to fire and police is to the contrary and unless the ordinances should be amended, appointments could not be made of assistant chief enginecrs, otherwise than from the civil service lists.” TO DISCUSS CHAIN DRIVE, The New Britain and Hartford branches of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will hold a joint meeting at the City club in Hart- ford Monday evening. D. H. Mitchell of the Link Belt Co. will speak on “The General Application of Silent Chain Drives as an Efficient Medium for the Transmission of Power.” I\ G. Anderson of the Morse Chain Co. and a representative of the Whitney Manufacturing Co. will discuss the same subject. THE AMERICAN DOLLAR.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1928, SETTLEMENT LOOKS NEARER IN EUROPE British Writers Proless fo See Signs of Rubr Agreement London, March 10.——(By the Asso- clated Press. —Although offering no very definit: idence to support their statements, some of the British cor- respondents in the Ruhr assert that there is a tendency towards peace| and that both sides Trauld welcome a | stetlement, ending the strain of the past fw weeeks, Both the workers and thee indus- trialists on the German side are tired of the struggle, the correspondents say, the former secing no hopé of winning at the same time their suf- ferings are augmented daily, The in- dustrialists, with the exception of one or two of the most influential, are! loel.‘.\uz increasingly the pinch of lost trade and are fearing for the future. The French on their part are rep- resented as suffering scarcely less. They have not got what they went in- to the Ruhr to obtain, and French in- dustries are being seriously affected hly the curtainment of the coal sup- ply. The suggestion in these dispatches is that it will be impossible for pres- ent conditions to continué much long- er. With regard to the customs barrier around the Rhincland, it is asserted | that other trade interests besides those of Great Britain are complain- ing over the:Krench restrictions, Hol- land and Denmark, according to tho‘ Telegraph's dipolmatic correspondent, {have mare representations to France on the subject. Sweden {s Disgruntled Sweden, whose large trade in Ruhr ore, has been virtually stopped, is also disgruntled and is said to be only waiting some move by Great Britain. ‘Washington, the correspondent adds, is also interesting itself in’ the qucstion, although along independent ilnes, The writer suggests that®the continental sufferers are likely to start diplomatic conversations with Great Britain with a view to making com- mon represenfation in behalf of in- ternational trade, It is wunderstood that the T.ondon government has made no formal complaint to France, hut the indications are that Paris is well aware of the state of British feeling. General Sir Arthur: Godley, com- manding the British forces in the Cologne area, returns to his post to- day. It is stated that the question of granting the French railway rights in the British zone has been scttied amicably, but no official confirmation is obtainable.
