REMINGTON REPUBLICANS
 EXPECT ROW AT CAUCUS
West and South Reported Aligned Against Center Section in Scranl-
 ble For Nominations.

The new Newington republican town committee has called a repub- iican caucus for Monday evening. Prospects are bright for a stiff con- test between the west and south sec tions of the town against the center district. The north section appears as an open field for both groups.
 As things stand now, the town of fees are fairly distributed among the various districts. Each section is well represented on the committees in power. For example, take the present board Of selectmen. One represents the Junction, another the south end, and the third the east end. The Maple Hill and Elm Hill districts are represented by the tax collector and chairman of the school board. The center district has assessors, town treasurer, and town clerk.
 Reliable information has it that this committee has new persons slated to fill most of the important officers in town Both sides in this contest boast strength to carry out their ideas.

Paris, Sept II P- Premier Poincare in search of economics has thrown dynamite into the archaic French administrative machinery, which was remained much as it was when the first Napoleon created 1t.
 With the exemption of the mill tary economies, which form part Of a comprehensive plan to re-cast and modernize the army initiated two years ago, the reforms-for they are reforms rather than economies which the premier yesterday put in force had been advocated for the past 50 years.
 Yesterdays decrees, which call for @ gradual cutting down in the number of men in the army, the abolition of 106 prefectures and 70 departmental secretaries and other economics in the premier's plans to reduce the budget, are subject to ratification by parliament. They cannot be amended and must be &C., cepted or rejected as a whole.
 The measures are certan to raise considerable opposition in all the parties-from powerful local inter ests, indignant at seein small cen- ters deprived Of their importance as county seats from the socialists and communists on behalf of work men employed in arsenals to be abolished.
