engineer. previous statements made
by them show.

MAY REDUCE ANNUITIES
Discuss Lengthening Term
of Payment From 81 to
Is Years

Washington. Sept. 30.-P)-The
debt negotiations between the French
and American missions seeking to
fund the four billion dollar French
war debt moved rapidly today with
the negotiators nearer together than
they have been since the discussions
began.
It was indicated that it had been
agreed clause should be inserted
in any settlement for revision Of
payments in the event that it should
become evident on both sides that
the French ability to pay had been
overestimated and, in addition. the
American commission has reduced
the proposed annuities from $780,
100000 to $l3O,OOO, 900.
Both of these plans are considered
Of great Importance by the French
delegates. Another proposal would
delay payments in the event Of the
exchange market not being favorable
to the transfer Of cash on the date
fixed. thereby giving the French
treasury a certain freedom of move
ment in choosing the more favorable
time to transfer.
Seek Solution
The French group. it is understood.
has not accepted these figures, but
way may be found for keeping
down the French annuities by ex-
tending the term of years from 62 to
81 or 20. or IS years. Each of these
terms Of years is being examined.
The term Of 62 years in the Eng
lish agreement was taken as basis
because with the interest rate Of 31s
per cent the entire principal would
be amortized at the rate Of one-half
of one per cent year. The French.
it is understood, have been setting
forth the advantages to them Of a
longer period as they could thus re.
duce their yearly average.

THE CITY'S RECORD IN BUILDING

The official report Of extensive building operations in the city is gratifying to all citizens The fact that no city in the state is showing a more rapid issuance of permits to build indicates what property own CTS think of the future of their com munity--a future that they by their actions greatly assist in assuring.
 People do not build extensively in city that is standing still, Capital for building purposes gravitates to those cities where progress is taking place or IS imminent, New Britain Is such a city. Not only are apart ment houses under construction on, virtually every street where they are permitted, and other types of dWell ing houses on other streets, but a substantial increase in business structures IS likewise apparent. And as regards the latter. the next few years probably are destined to see many additions which today are be- Ing merely discussed.
 The fact that such d large per centage of building operations con- cerns dwellings is prtiCularly note worthy and a matter of general satisfaction. The housing situation, which plagued this city, as well as many others, in the years following the war is being solved 10 perfec- ton and in the only effective man. ner-through the construction of sufficient homes 10 accommodate the growing population. Whether there may be too many of them in the near future IS beside the point; if that becomes the case it will merely amount to a normal and alhcl healthy condition, eliminating hard ships to tenants and placing no par ticular hardships upon owners.

AN EPOCH MAKING CONFIRMATION

"Etah talking. How are things down in Illinois. Pretty cold up here, plenty of ice; if it's hot down your way please accept sympathy. We are comfortable, thanks. Give us some more radio entertainment.'
 That in effect might have been the tenor of the conversation be- tween members of the MacMillan Arctic expedition and an Illinois radio station yesterday-and though the conversation did not include the quoted statements. it was just as interesting and moreover was an epoch-making event in the annals of communication.
 It is scarcely 10 be doubted that when the MacMillan expedition reaches the North Pole it will be possible for it to enter into dis cussion of the location with some American radio station. We have become so accustomed to reading of wonderful achievements that this astonishing feat may not get the at tcntion it deserves. The future, how ever, will be full of surprises. The item in the paper yesterday disclos- ing a prognostication of Edward Rtckonhackor may not he amiss In Rickenbackcr's opinion airshlps will have no more difficulty in tra,cling over the Arctic regions than they now have in traversing Now Jersey.
 Mr. Rickenbacker, we repeat for the benefit of those who may have missed the item, predicted that huge airships 5000 feet long will travel across the ocean in a day and air planes will cross conlineh'ai Lhllcu States in the same period of time, Al this rate, it would take a dtrigible mo more than two days 10 travel from London to Picking or Iokio straight over the North Pole.
 seems like nightmare, but no more so than the radio would have appeared to anyone 25 years ago.

Dissertation On The Weather

Washington. Aug 5,-Forecast for Southern New England: Showers tonight and possibly Thursday morn ing. Slightly cooler on east coast tonight. Moderate to fresh north east and north winds,
 Forecast for Eastern New York; Cloudy, showers in southeast portion tonight; Thursday partly cloudy, slightly warmer in southeast portion moderate northeast and north winds.
 Conditions: Pressure distribution has changed but little during the mast A hours. Considerable cloudi- ness prevails this morning over most of New England and south westward over the Atlantic coast sections 10 the Gulf region. Show CTS have occurred from New Jersey to southern Florida. Tempcra- lures are about tho same as yestor- day and continue at or near the seasonal average east Of inc Rocky Mountains. Overcast and unsettled weather in Southern New England has caused an increased relative hu- midity or moisture content of the atmosphere, making it appear un- usually warm and muggy, Con ditions favor for this svicinity un- settled weather and not much change in temperature.

EL0PE, BUT RETURN
 HOME FOR WEDDING
New Britain Couple Planned Cere- mony in Ansonia, But Circum-
 stances Forced Change.

Complications brought on by the laws of Connecticut made the mat rimonial ventures of Miguel M. Nut and Miss Florence E. Miller of this city somewhat difficult last evening, but with the aid of an obliging city clerk and a justice of the peace they finally succeeded in their efforts to become man and wife.
 The original plans called for an elopemcnt, 50 the young folks quietly slipped away" and went to Ansonia. Here they found that it was necessary to wait five days for a license, since they were non-resi- dents of that city.
 The city clerk in Ansonia tele- phoned City Clerk A, L. Thompson of New Britain and the latter agreed to keep his office open last evening until they returned. The elopers came back to New Britain, received their license without difficulty from Colonel Thompson, and, in the ab- sence of their regular pastor, Rev, Samuel Sutciffe. rector of St. Marks Episcopal church, decided 10 waste no more time, so called upon Attor- ney David L.

MANHATTAN'S DECREASE
 IN POPULATION

What's this? The population of New York city is less than 6,0o0,- GOO. and the borough of Manhattan decreasing in humans thereon? And yet the Unofficial estimates" of New York and Washington census au- thorities may be correct.
 The big city has been losing hun dreds of thousands of people to the suburbs, while decreased immigra- ton likewise Is a factor. The real estate interests on the built-up island, however, will not greet the tidings with joyous exclamation. The more people there are packed on the island the more valuable be- comes realty.
 The day may not be far distant when most of Manhattan will be given over to business, with scarcely any resident population. But such a result will take time and meantime there are other things to worry about.

DIAMOND MONOPOLY HAS
 CAUSED NO SURPRISE
Runors of sSuch Plan Have Been Heard For More Than
 Year Past

London. Aug, 5 Ry-The report Of tha formation of new diamond syndicate has caused no surprise among those interested in the dia- mond trade, the possibility of some such development having been ru- mored from time to time since early in the year, when there was breakaway from the former diamond pool and the handling of the produc- ton of the consolidated diamond mines of South and West Africa passed to the Anglo-American Cor poration of South Africa.
 Complete and apparently pre-ar- ranged secrecy however, Is being maintained respecting the reported new combination in all quarters which alone are likely to be aware of the details.
 Announcement that control of the world output of diamonds, long held under an agreement of the princi- pal producers by the De Beers syn dicate of South Africa, would pass to a new combination in 1926, was made by Lee Reichman, head ot Reichman Brothers, leading Ameri- can diamond importers at New York yesterday. He added that the new syndicate would assume control De- cemher S1, 1925, when the De Beers agreement expired. The new con- trol would include the Barnato fields of Cape Colony, the Dunkels- buhler interests of Germany. and the Morgan interests In New York.

WATCH THE YOUNGSTERS
 AT WILLOW BROOK

The annual field and track meet for boys and girls at Memorial field in Willow Brook park today is an event regarding which the city can well be proud. Not only will it give the participating youth of the city an opportunity 10 indulge in a fine time-weather permitting-but 1t will also give parents an opportuni- ty 10 become acquainted with the city's new park, which Is so rapidly cndcaring itself to the hearts of citi- zens as a center of athletic possi- bilities.
 The playgrounds which are a part of the park are for the benefit Of all children; the park greensward and playing fields are likewise for use of all. All citizens, especially the parents of the younger genera ton, shoud make it point to visit the park, not once but often, and feel young again while watching the youngsters have a good time. The athletic tournament today - again weather permitting-will be a good time to start the habit.

TRANSPORT MONOPOLY
 IS THREATENED

Nobody will object 10 the New York. Nrw Haven and Hartford railroad from using the highways through the operation of motor nusses. in an effort to offset ad- mr,ted rall losses. or in the supple montary vTort to gain some direct benefit from the s5,ooo,ooo in taxes expended by the railroad annually
 But what the public will object to is a systematic and organized effort to freeze out independent bus lines or to prevent their legitimate estab- lisbment where they do not yet exist.
 The development of independent motor bus lines in the state has been the most hopeful sign of breaking the transportation monop- oly since the days when the trolley
