PLAN TO DOUBLE
 CROSS THE COUNCIL
Legislature May Be Asked to
 Alter Amendments

1 It is. expected in certain quarters that when the New Britain charter l amendments come before the committee on cities and boroughs in l room 52 at the capitol tomorrow a 1 determined effort will be made by certain factions to have the proposed amendments concerning the police and fire boards so changed by the legislators that instead of having four man commissions these depart 1 ments will be governed by one man 1 commissions.
 As the charter amendments now 1 stand, passed at the last session of the ! common council, the present safety board would be split into a board of police commissioners and board of l fire commissioners. Each board would be of the bipartisan type and composed of four man each. When the charter revision committee was discussing this matter all were agreed that the safety board should be split and the police and fire departments managed by separate heads. The only difference of opinion came as to the method. Several members in- sisted that the one nan commission was the ideal type, while others, ad-
 
 the city, from financial, reasons as well as others, is not ready to adopt this system. They then agreed that the bipartisan board of four mem- bers would be the best for the city.
 When the amendments were brought before the council, Council man o. r. Curtis objected to having two boards of four members each, od e1H mission. Councilman Landers, in re- ply, admitted that the single headed commission is the best but said ill order to have it effective it would require two strong men at a high salary If Councilman Curtis would be willing tc vote for a suitably high salary for each MT. Landers said he would support him, but he felt that the city is rot yet in a position to go to this expeiise.
 Campaign of Opposition.
 During tre past week, however, it has been learned that quiet cam paign has been waged in an effort to put through the single headed commission plan. Several prominent citizens have been personally request ed to appear at. the legislative hear
 
 to the plan. It is possible that when the charter amendments come back from the legislature instead of be- ing as the council passed them. they will be materially changed. Mayor Quigley stated today that he has been informed of move to have the legis- lature change the amendments, com polling the city to adopt a single headed commission plan. but he will oppose it at the hearing. The mayor and several other prominent men will attend the hearing in support of the original amendment The mayor said that while he thinks the single headed commission is undoubtedly the ideal one for the management of the police and fire departments, he does not think New Britain is ready to adopt it. Ut would require a strong man to do the work and such man could not be secured at any nominal salary. He would have to be $3,- 800 or 5000 year man and I don't think New Britain can afford that now,' he said.

FISHERS REFUSE DIVIDE,

Ymuilden, Nethef!ands Feb. 22.-A fisherman's strike against the war profits tax has been declared here. Stirred by the tax collectors demand they have been pocketing for many months past, the Ymuiden fishermen refuse, as they term it, to risk their lives until they have obtained the cer- tainty that great part of heir hard earned wage will no be requisitioned. It is no unusual thing just now for an ordinary fisherman to earn $150, $2OO, $250 month and shippers as much as s4OO to $500, so high are the prices readily paid for their products by foreign and home buyers.

GERMANY'S MILITARY ARM
NOW LOSING ITS STRENGTH

Washington, Get. 9.-Germany's
military strength now shows a clear
decrease for the first time since the
war began, according to a review
based upon data of the French gener-
al staff, made public tonight by the
French high commission.
Worn down and driven back by the
never ending pounding of the allies
on the Western front, the statement
says, the Germans have made their
supreme military effort after draw
ing heavily upon their inactive armies
IN the East and calling out their 1918
and part of the 1919 reserves
Thus while the allies have reached
and prepared to maintain their full
strength while awaiting the coming
of Americas great army, the enemy's
resources are diminishing at the very
moment when the military situation
demands that they increase.
Three Great Democratic.
This shows" concludes the state
ment, 1.-The decisive character attend
ing the operations of 1918 when three
great democracies, England, France
and America, will unite their entire
strength in attacking the enemy, in
conformity with the only sound prin-
ciplc of war"
