SENATE MOVES BILL
ON RIVERS SLOWLY
Leaders Are Confident End of Two
Year Fight Over Items
Is in Sight.

Although the Senate yesterday ap-
proved one amendment to the House
river and harbor bill, relating to the
canal between Beaufort and Cape
Fear River in North Carolina, prog
reSs on the measure as whole
moved slowly.
Participants in the compromise con-
ference of the previous day on the
Illinois project continued negotiations.
Senator. Deneen. Republican, Illinois
took steps to determine the full extent
of the amendment of Senator Willis,
Republican, Ohio, which was agreed
upon by a group of House and Senate
leaders. This amendment stipulates
that the bill does not necessarily au-
thorize the diversion of water from
Lake Michigan.
Meanwhile, Western Senators con
inued their fight to remove the pro
vision placed in the bill by the Sen
lte commerce committee that prop,
arty owners along the Missouri hiver
should meet part of the cost of the
proposed Improvement between Kan
sas City and Sioux City, Iowa. Sen
ator Norris, Republican, Nebraska
warned that he would seek to attach
= similar provision to all other prof
ects unless the Missouri River re-
quirement was modified.
However, leaders were confident
last night that the end of the two-year
fight over the hundreds of items in
the bill was in sight and it's early pas
sage by the Senate was predicted.

BR|TA|N'S FIGHTING
STRENGTH REDUCED
Total of 413,500 Under Arms
Third Less Than in Pre-
war Days.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December II. - The
fighting strength of the British Army
has been reduced by one-third since
pre-war days.
Parliament was told by Lord Mid
dleton before it's adjournment that
the present total, including regulars
army reserve, special reserve and ter.
ritorials. was Alb, 500 men, a decrease
OF 234.500.
Al the same time, he declared. the
administrative staff of the war Of
flee had been doubled In his opinion
It was Midsummer madness to clip
the army to maintain the war office. "
The Earl of Onslow, replying for
the government, said the army would
not be reduced below the strength re-
quired to meet the commitments un.
dertaken by the government with the
consent of Parliament.
Belgium to Reduce Army.
BRUSSELS. Belgium, December II
ND.-The man-power of the Belgian
Army is to be reduced by 90 per cent
next year. The number of men under
arms will be $4,000, as compared with
1900 this year.
The reduction forms part of the
economy measures taken to bring the
country back to sound financial
health.
War Increases Illiteracy.
PARIS, December II R.--A little
known form of the war damage suf-
fered by France is revealed in army
figures, which show an increasing
number of illiterates among recruits
In 1921. of the men called to the
colors, 4,713 were unable to read or
write, while 1868 confessed them
selves illiterate in 1924. Figures for
only part of 1925 are available, but
they show an augmentation in the
condition, which is blamed on the Jis-
organization an schooling during the
war days when the present recruits
were small boys.

JUST WHAT IS PARKING PIAINyHLE ASKS

The question Is raised in Plain- vile as to what constitutes parking. Perhaps it isn't raised in so many words, but that is what the argu- ment between merchants, con- stables and the public amounts to.
 Just because car stop has been changed in front of sundry retail establishments, where the space occupiers of the Connecticut com pany evidently can wait their al- loted time in peace without the operators being charged with park ing. autom obiles are not allowed to stop alongside them long enough for their owners to buy candy or newspapers.
 Stopping an automobile for a few moments while their owners make a small purchase would not consti- tute parking, in the mlno ol tAe average citizen.
 If autoists cannot stop in front Of a shop in Plainville long enough to make such purchases they can easily reach the next town after comparatively short driving. Mean- while the cars of the Connecticut company, allowed to occupy valu- able space in the highway free of charge, are the real offenders but as usual, do not share in the blame.

25 Fears Ago Today

Horace James of Plainville, clerk at w. E. Clark's, is taking three weeks vacation. At present he is in Buffalo. From here he will go to his old home in Pennsylvania. Charles Ryder is taking his place at the store.
 The Trinity NJ. E. Church school will hold an excursion to Pleasure Beach, near Bridgeport, on August s. They go by rail to New Haven and thence by water to the beach. There was fight Sunday morning in the tailor shop next to J. NJ. Cur tins grocery store on Park street. I and so great was the excitement that some joker. whose identity the fire department is anxious to learn, pulled the fire alarm. The trucks made quick run and the men were naturally chagrined at being fooled. The Blue Labels of Hartford de- feated the All-New Britains in a benefit game for the machinists at Electric field yesterday, 7-2. The local team lined up with Middleton, Daley, Lynch, Hoar, Meade, Me Fnroe, Kelly. Connor, and Roach. The big tunnel which the Stanley Works has been constructing under Curtis street for some months lacks but a few weeks of completion. The street, which has been blocked up except for a narrow space to accom- odate passing teams, will be opened again. There will be two tracks, on which specially constructed trains Will be operated by electricity. The tunnel was started after the city acted unfavorably on a petition for laying tracks across the street.
 The thunder storm which did business about and over the city about o'clock this morning played many queer pranks. Robert Chalm- CTS house at 127 Maple street was struck, while a bolt struck a brick pillar at the home of Michael J.. Sullivan on Myrtle street and knocked it out from under the floor beam. The most startling story is from Plainville, where Mrs. Neale's house on Washington street was hit. The bolt entered a window upstairs and scattered the glass even down. stairs; it passed into bedroom and struck a bed, shattering two posts and causing the occupant, MT. Stod- dard, to jump several feet in the air.
 The Children's Aid society, which is erecting a home for incurables in Newington, is having trouble. It planned a reservoir on the noun tain but a temporary injunction was got out against them by several residents who claimed 10 have the water rights.
 A special meeting of the machin- ists will be helde tonight, and it is probable that it will be voted to call off the strike. which has lasted ten weeks. The object of the strike Is to win nine-hour working day.

4 SUMMER OF STORMS

Scarcely a day has passed this summer without the chronicling Of severe storms "of cyclonic fury" in the public press. Like earthquakes. storms are always with us, but the summer of 1926 threatens to go down in weather history as a rec ord-breaker for atmospheric dis turbances. The blow experienced in central Connecticut and western Massachusetts was of piece with those occurring nearly every day somewhere over the map; and in Europe and Asia the storm record has been similarly pronounced, with severe floods to boot.
 The scientists who told us the present cycle of sun spots would cause enormous disturbances and weather changes on old mother earth doubtless were right.
