Twill therefore receive the an- nouncement with a sigh of relief and with the expectation of successful issue to the premier's journey"
 The Times warned against over- confidence, and then said: Tn view of the enormous technical difficult ies of the subject it may yet be ne- Ccssary to exercise a good deal of patience before any full and com- piete agreement on the vital out standing problem of cruiser strength can be reached.
 Moreover any solution of this problem worked out in the present conversations must necessarily be provisional pending a wider conver- sation with other important naval powers. Many unforeseen difficult ics may vet arise.
 But however formidable the ob- staclcs, it is clear the chancs of ulti- mate success are immeasurably greater than two years ago when rigid and abstract definition of par ity wrecked all prospects of agree- mcni."

OPTIMISM OVER
 NAVAL PROBLEM
Progress Made and Macdonald
 Trip ReyiVes Hopes

Washington, Sept. 13 P,-The prevalent belief that Great Britain
 and the United States are on the verge of complete accord upon the problem Of naval disarmament was
 regarded today as materially strengthened by Prime Minittcr Ramsay MacDonald's definite de- cision to visit America for personal conferences with President Hoover. This view was held by such high officials of the government as Sec rotary Stmson and Undersecrntary Cotton of the state department, who
 have spent many hours within the last few days in consultation with President Hoover upon the trend Of the negotiations with Great Britain.
 Secretary Stimson is Of the opinion that the latest note to the London government. product of the recent White House conferences, could have led Premier Macdonald 10 believe that an agreement would he reached Cotton interpreted the prime minister's decision as meaning that i've are near enough to an agreement to have him come" Comment from the White House is lacking,
 Note Contents Secret Meanwhile. the contents of the note to Great Britain were zcalously guardcde screts. There were indi- cations however, that counter pro- posals on methods of attaining parity in cruiser strength were em-
 bodied in the communication, rep rescnting revision of the former American position on this point. Great Britain is believed to have agreed to reduction in it's planned cruiser strength from 70 to 30 ships and if is understood that President
 Hoover has relinQuishod 10 some extent the reduction policy which
 he has been hopeful Of affecting for the United States. As matters now stand, it is thought that the Ameri- can navy would have to be built up
 to reach the limitation that might
 be agreed upon.
 If the coming conferences be tween Mir. Macdonald and MT. Hoover should result in complete accord. the next step would be general disarmament conference at tended by representatives of Great
 Britain, the United States, Japan,
 France and Italy.
 Arrives Early Next Month
 Following the plans announced late yesterday. Macdonald will sail on the Berengaria two weeks from today, arriving in Washington on the third or fourth of October. Al though plans for his stay here are indefinite as yet, it is thought that the British premier may divide his time between the British embassy and the White House and spend few days as the guest of Amhassa- dor Howard and a few as the guest of the president

BOTH PARTIES 10
 CAUCUS TONIGHT Hall Believed to Be Without
 Opposition for SeIectInan FEW CONTESTS EXPECTED
Most of the Towns Present Officials Likely to be Candidates to Succeed Themselves-FuncraI of Vincent Pauloz Tomorrow Afternoon.

Friday, the 18th. has come To the more sUperstitious it is day of ill omen, to the average it is is just an- other day. while to those who pro- fess to neither of the above it is a day Of the two party caucuses. It is the belief of many townspeople that caucuses will come and go and the republicans will still be the strong est party in the town. That is the way it has been for many past years and forecasts for the present are not changing the trend of politics. It is a well known fact that Berlin is a republican town and preparations for the caucuses have not indicated that it will change. During past years all of the important posts have been filled by the republicans, and the democrats have obtained their share of the spells in moager way at best.
 There have been very few changes planned for offices. Announcements have been made that Sclcctman Leon G. Hall will seek reelection as will also Second Selectman John Carbo of Kensngton, from among the re- publicanS. Third Sclcctman Prank Pierpont has announced that he will run for reelection at the democratic caucus in Tabs hall toni~ht. No other democratic possibilities have been mentioned though they may make an appearance at the caucus. The terms of R. o. Clark and Miss J. NJ. Murray, of the finance committee, also expire, but it is thought that they will be reelected inasmuch as they have made no statements which might lead people to believe they are not in the race The term of Max Sugenhime of the board of relief also expires but it is thaught that he will run for reeleC- tion.
 The center of interest at the re. publican caucus tonight will un- doubtedly be the fight between Myron D. Goodrich and Charles F. Lewis for the position of tax collec- tor. This is the first time in several years that Mir. Lewis had an Oppo- ncnt measure swords with him, and tonight should see a good. and well attended fight.
 The school board question should be settled peaceably unless the un- usual occurs The unusual in this case is taken to mean that Willis w. Winchell may still have an op- ponent from the Kensington district. Since the announcement some time ago that Mrs. Henry Hooker would not run for the office, friends of hers have constantly hoped that she would reconsider at the last moment. It is felt by members of the board that she is too valuable person 10 lose, having been on the board and on one of the important committees of the board
 The constables are all out for re- election with the exception of Will liam Cole of East Berlin and Enrico Pola, who has moved out of town. One of these vacancies may he filled by John Hannon, who announced last night that he would seek nomi- nation to the office.

England Sees Settlement

London, Sept. 13 tP-Impendine visit of Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald 10 the United States was ac- cepted generally here today as sig nifyinG the London and Washington governments were very near an ac- | cord on naval limitation.
 Mr. Macdonald will leave England Sept. 2S aboard the Berengaria, ar irving in New York October f. His visit probably will he oi short dur ation. possibly a week or more. most of which time will be spent in con- ference with President Hoover in Washington.
 He is expected back in Great Brit ain in time for the reconvening of parliament about the end of October If he can face parliament with a naval reduction agreement with the United States 10 his credit it was be- lieved he would be imm easurably stronger with the house of commons than at any time since inception of his government in June.
 Announced Yesterday
 Announcement of the impending visit was made at No. 10 Downing street, home of British premiers, yes terday. shortly after a conference between the prime minister and |. s. Ambassador Charles c. Dawes. who, it was understood, conveyed to Mir. Macdonald the latest note re- lating to the naval reduction nego- tiatons.
 The presumption was Mr. Mac Donald found the new American note highly satisfactory and not so divergent from the stand he has taken himself but that he considered reconciliation a practical certainty
 The official announcement was made too late for the London press to comment cditorially but in intro duCtory notes to their news stories considerable satisfaction at the 'hopcful stage now reached" was expressed by some papers.
 The Daily News said the informa- ton General Dawes was able to give the British premier revealed the United States government had come very near the British point of view. adding there can be little doubt MT Macdonald would not make the visit unless agreement in principle previ- ously had been reached
