Daily-New Tummy Size
of Tennis Ball.

Baltimore. Md. Dec. 27.-Surgeons
connected with the University hospital
are much interested in an operation
performed several days ago. when a
large portion of the stomach of Har-
old B.. Arnold was removed and a new
digestive organ formed from the un-
affected tissues, slightly smaller than
the ordinary tennis ball. was put i'm
it's place. His condition is now greatly
improved, and he receives predigested
food through a glass tube.
In the event of the complete re-
covery Of Arnold, he will have to re-
ceive nourishment at least a dozen
times a day because of the minute
ness of his stomach. 1t is so small now
that it will only contain the amount
of liquid held by an ordinary teacup.
Physicians state that it will be inn
possible for him to swallow more than
half a teacup of any liquid.

"A building program at first far ex-

closed.
The program for the first year as
recommended by the board, calls for
the construction of eight capital ships,
with an equally large program for
other craft at an extimated cost OF
about s3O0,0OO 900 as compared with
four capital ships and other neces-
sary craft at a cost of approximately

administrations plan.
The report was la public by Sec
rotary Daniels, who ordered it's prepa-

Tense policy. 1t has been declared by
critics of the administration that the

King Haakon of
 Norway, 43 Today,
 Shorn of All Power

Although the national flag will be displayed in great profusion through- out Norway today, and the people will enjoy holiday in celebration of the forty-third birthday of King Haakon VII, that monarch will entertain no illusions in regard to the nature of the sentiment which prompts the publ lie rejoicing. While personally rCAl ttbosses1 of Norway, and that he has about as much influence as his valet or his coac1man. There is for him the consolation, however, that in be- ing shorn of all his influence and power he has but shared the fate of all the Scandinavian nonarchs, for his brother Christian x. of Denmark, and his neighbor, Gustaf V. of Swe- den. are no less hgureheads than him self. When the three Scandinavian monarchs met at Hfalrno. Sweden, last December to form a protective alli- ance, Haakon again proved his de- mocracy by taking lodging in the house of a shipbuilder's widow, while his brother Christian was the guest of a. physician. While the defensive leageu formed on that occasion was attributed to the three kings, they had really nothing to do with it, be- yond attaching their royal signatures to document prepared after long ters of the three nations. The kings presided at the meetings, but they were not consulted on any matter of importance. Swedish fear of Russia now ended by a treaty between the two nations, together with the at tempts of Germany to coeree the scandinavian countries, were respon- sib1e for the alliance between Nor way, Sweden and Denmark, and as a result the three countries. practically united for purposes of defense, con- stitute a formidable power.
 
 Charles of Denmark before his cleo ton to the Norwegian throne de- cade ago, is the second son of the late King Frederick VIII. of Denmark The ex-Empress, of Russia and the ex-Queen of Great Britain are his aunts, and King Constantine of Greece is his cousin. He is further related to the British royal family by mar riage, Queen Maud being the third daughter of the late King Edward VIII. of Great Britain. The King and Queen have only one child, Crown Prince Hay, now 12 years old. When he ascended the Norwegian throne 10 years ago King Haakon was given little power or authority, and he has gradually been deprived of all his royal rights.
