SUBSTITUTE BUDGET
 WILL BE PRESENTED
Authors Declare They Can Find Way to Reduce
 Tax Rate

That substitute budget proposing a tax rate considerably lower than the 25 mill mark which now appears necessary under the estimates sub mitted to the board of finance and taxation. will be offered to the city meeting board this spring, was learned this afternoon. In fact, work has al- ready been started on the preparation of the budget, which will point out a way to conduct the city, next year on approximately 22 mills.
 For tho present, those interested in the estimates which they will at tempt to carry through the city meet ing in preference to the estimates Of the board of finance and taxation, de- cline to divulge who is at the head of the movement or who is doing the actual work of preparing their budget.
 It is known, however, that the work is being directly supervised by man prominent in city affairs for about 15 years and former city official.
 The proposed substitute budget will pare all items down closely and will also eliminate whole items in prac- tically all departmental estimates, it is said.
 That the two o-platoon system will be among the items to be derricked out of the budget unless it can be in- cluded without raising the mill rate beyond 22 mills, is practically as- sured.

FRENCH ARE ENCIRCLING
 GERMAN TEXTILE CITIES
Lcnncp, Krcbsccge and Bergisch-I3or1l Taken Oyer-9OO Troops Involved
 in Latest Move.

Essen, Feb. ', (By Associated Press) The German information bu- reau announces that the French have occupied Lennep, a Rhenish textile city, as well as Krebscege and Ber- gisch- Born, two small towns nearby.
 According to the same source, the French advance is apparently part of an encircling movement which will in- clude the occupation of Elberfeld and Barmen, both of which are textile centers.
 Lennep, city of 15,o00 persons is 22 miles southeast of Dusseldorf. Iron and steel goods are also manufactured there.
 The extension of the French occu- patton to the Wupper valley was ac- complished by about 900 soldiers, the Germans assert The French travelled in lorries, starting yesterday noon from the British occupied area.
 The population had been expecting the French for several days, it ap- pears, and so far as German reports indicate there was no trouble of any kind. However, the actual arrival of the troops caused considerable excite ment despite the fact that the local announced last week that the occupation was quite likely to take place within few days.
 The population of the Wupper val ey number about 500,00O. Most of he workers are employed in the tex ile industries.

 Supreme Influence

BA iIAkEAfE q. NllLAlil,
 Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald)
 Washington. D. C., Feb. :. -- The United States holds q position of su- preme influence in the world today because II did not enter the league oi nations. Senator Frank E. Brandegee of Connecticut asserted during the de- Late in the senate yesterday over the troubled internationpl situation in Europe.
 He claimed that the United States Is powerful today because she is not ed the treaty, but can think and 'aci for herself.
 Senator Brandegee got into n tilt that Senator Borah had been having with Senator Caraway over the ques- ton Of the value of the league Of na- tions In maintaining world peace and the respective influence that Great Britain and the United States are able to wieid.
 "If the United States wants to be tied, hamstrung absolutely prevented from ever again being an influence in helping to relieve Europe, it would have been accomplished by ratifying and making itself part of the Yer sailles treaty" declared Senator Borah. For instance, England sign ed and ratified the Versailles treaty; but she is perfectly powerless today in any way because she is a signer Of the treaty"
 To this Senator Caraway replied that if England had not ratified the Versailles treaty the world would have been at war three years ago. What ever national sanity has been. presery- ed in Europe, the British govern ment has preserved it, asserted Cara way.
 "The senator believes that the | United States should stand with the | signatories of the treaty of Versailles and undertake to preserve the terri | tory and integrity and political inde- pendence as against external aggres- sion of the 5o countries that com | pose the league of nations" said Senator Rrandegee. taking up Senator Caraway's argument.

Believes New Britain Would Eventually Be Relieved of Burdensome Payments to Underwriters.

Chairman Edward r. Hall of the
 board of finance and taxation has in
 mind a plan for the city to carry its
 own insurance and after his board
 completes the work of preparing
 budgets and proposed tax to be rec
 commended for next year, he will sub
 init his proposal to that board for
 considerations
 Because of the fact that the finance
 board is confronted by more than the usual amount of difficulties in connec- ton with making up this years budget. Chairman Hall does not plan to introduce the new insurance system this year, he said this morn ing.
 The possibilities of the city carrying it's own insurance were brought forci- bly, to attention when the school com- mittee reported an insurance item of s10,000 for next year. A part of this amount is occasioned by the fact that to be renewed. The average yearly toward insurance is s4,000 s. H. Holmes assert ed.
 In next years budget, the following insurance items appear: schools, $10,- 900; fire department, $200; board of $500; city hall commission, | s2,200; water board, $450. Total $13,- | $50. There are also other insurance | tens included in the incidental &C., counts of the several boards, which t is believed would bring the insur- ince bill next year to s15.o0o.
 The finance board chairman's plan. n substance, is to have the premiums ,aid into an insurance funds which would be allowed to stand from year o year. In the course of five or 10 ears a sizeable amount of money would be accumulated and the city would be protected against fire losses. The only risk would be in the early ears of building up this fund and l: h ose who favor the idea point to the l mall amount of fire damage that the , ity has suffered, in minimizing this 1 anger.

SAYS BIBLE FORETOLD PHONE, MOVIES, RADIO Evangelist in Plainville Sees Predictions in Holy
 Scriptures
Special to The Herald).

Plainville, Feb. 7.-Passage in the
 Bible in which, he said, present day
 inventions known as the telephone,
 moving pictures and the radio were
 foreto,d, were quoted last night by
 Rev. T. E. Glendenning, an evangelist
 from Burr Oak. Iowa, who is con-
 ducting campaign at the Advent Christian church, and his explanations and conceptions of the texts which he quoted were eagerly listened to by a large congregation.
 Rev. Glendenning quoted texts from the Bible which have been known to many, but his interpretation of them came as revelation to all who heard him. The first which he quoted was taken from the book of Isaiah 2:1G wherein God speaks of the coming judgment and says in an ex- cerpt of His revelations that Tt shall come upon all pleasant pictures.
 Evangelist Glendcnning stated tha, on the Bible of past years. have always associated this text with ordinary pictures. because pictures at that time gave no motion, but only the idea of notion In the present time, 1t can be seen that the words of the text are closely asso- ciated with the present day moving pictures, for they contain motion and not the idea, he said.
 Passing from this, the evangelist said that the telephone was predicted in the passage from Habakkuk 2:1f, wherein it is said: For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the )eam (fastening) out of the timber ;hall answer it." Evangelist Glenden- ling stated that this text can be ap- died to the telephone because it is | astencd in the wall, and people go, IS it were to the stone or timber, ak and receive an answer
 In Job 3S:35, is found the passage, Canst thou send lightnings that they nay go, and say unto thee Here we re'?" This forecasts, according to ir. Glendenning, the electrical won CTS of the present era which are cling discovered through experiments rith the radio. Here, the electricaf rave is sent forth and ,alks when ii caches the receiving station.
 These and many more interesting Mr. Glendenning is giving l his nightly sermons on topics dur ,g his campaign

UNDERWRITERS TO RATE
 THIS CITY NEXT MONTH
Will Make Regular Inspection After Five Year Pcriodv-Niay Place
 City in First Grade Column.

Representative Of the National Board of Fire Underwriters are due to arrive in this city next month for the purpose of placing rating upon the city, this rating being based upon the facilities for fighting fire and the extent of fire hazard existing, and be- ing one of the important items con- sidered in fixing fire insurance pre- miums. The city is row in Class B, having received that rating five years ago.
 One of the points considered in in- creasing the citys grade is existence of a two-platoon system. Because of the city's up to date equipment and excellent water power and service, it Is believed that the clay may reach Class A this year, provided the board of finance and taxation approves the wo-platoon.
