Radius Rods

You will not find radius rods on
many cars excepting those of high
price-or If you do find them, you
will note they are insignificant in
size. Some cars drive thro' the
springs just because it happens to
cost more to use radius rods and a
forque arm as Studebaker does.
But it also happens that radius
rods take the driving thrust that
the springs have to take in
other cars. And SO make the car

cEs PLAN PREPARED BY THE
GENERAL STAFF.
REGULAR ARMY or 100000
Expenses For First Year Are Estimat-
ed at Three and Half Million DOL
iars-MiIitia 10 Also To BE
Provided For.

Washington. -- Secretary Garrison
has made public in connection with
his annual report the special national
defense report prepared at his re-
quest by the war college division Of
the general staff. 1t shows that the
army itself considers that as a proper
military policy to secure continental
United States from attack 1t Is neces-
Jary to have mobile army of 1,500,-
600 fully or partially trained men. 1t
makes the following specific recon-
mendations for the organization 1t be-
lieves necessary:
Regular Army--With the colors,
121, 900; reserves at end of eight-year
enlistment period, $4,000; total, $780,.
900.
Continental Army-Under training
three months year for each Of three
years, 500, 900; on furlough. subject to
three months additional training
fore taking the field, 100000. 70
Organized Militia-No proviso be-
yond annual appropriation Of $1,000
Gee and repeal oss al, acts requiring
state soldiers to bio received into Unit
ed States service In advance of any
other force In time of war. Grand to-
tai. regular and continental, 1900, 900.
In estimating the cost Of this estab-
lishment the report figured as follows
for the first year: Regular army.
s258. $50, 900; continentals, $S7,500. 900:
militia. $77,000.000; total. $3.50, AGO. 900.
In addition to these figures Secre-
tary Garrison points out in digest
of the special report an annual ex-
pense OF 100000 for each Of four
years would be necessary for harbor
defenses. and reserve material would
cost for the first year alone $12s, 76S,-
1856, making the grand total for the
first year $5OS. 1928, 1856.

ALLIED ARMY IN DANGER
Austro. Germans, Assisted BY the Bull.
sars, Attempt to outflank French
in the Balkans.

London.--The situation In the Bar.
kans is developing rapidly. The Ger
mans and Bulgarians have reached
Kenali, on the Greek border, 10 miles
south Of Monastir, thus threatening to
outflank the Anglo-French forces,
while Blugars. who also are supposed
to be supported by Germans, have at
tackled the allies extreme right wing
near Strumitza.
Under this pressure the French
have withdrawn from the Krivolak sa-
iient and at last accounts had taken
up q position at Demarkapou, in a
deep gorge about 20 miles from the
Greek frontier. through which the So.
loniki railway runs. Here they were
attacked by the Bulgarians, who. ac-
cording to the French reports, we're
repulsed.
The plans of neither the allies nor
the Germans. are yet quite clear. but
apparently the Germans are determin-
ed on crushing the little force which
went to the assistance of the Servians
and which has been and still is being
re-enforced.
The retirement Of the allies to De-
mirkapou has led to the report that
they intended to abandon the Balkan
enterprise entirely, but the continued
landing of troops at SaIoniki would
seem to deny any such intention.
while there Is a very strong military
opinion here that Saloniki should be
held as base for future operations in
the near east.

Benton.-Polk county recently had
its books audited for period of ten
years. after charge had been made
that the county was being robbed by
its officials. The argument was car
ried to the Legislature, and redistrict-
ing bill was passed. changing the
county court from republican to a
democratic majority. This majority
ordered the audit. The audit showed
that there were number of irregulari-
ties and that several officials and form
er officials were owing small amounts.
The audit has cost the county over
two thousand dollars.

BERLIN RECALLS OFFICIALS
Boyd and Won Papen Are Ordered
by German Government To Re-
turn To Their Country.

Westinghouse Won Bernsdorff.
the German ambassador, has informed
Secretary Lansing mat Capt. Boyd
and Capt. Won Papen, naval and mill
tary attaches, respectively. of the en-
bassy, had been recalled in accord
ance with the request Of the United
States. He asked that safe conduct
home be obtained for the officers.
The ambassador said that the
American reply to Germany's reques
for the reasons for asking the recalls
had been satisfactory. After leaving
Secretary Lansing. the count refused
to make any statement. 1t was made
plain that the recall OF the attaches
was perfectly satisfactory to Emperor
William, who had handled the case
personally.

WILLING TO TALK PEACE
German Chancellor Says at Rcichstae
Opening That Berlin VIII consid-
err Offerings of Other Countries.

Berlin.--So long as uncontrolled ha.
tired of Germany and the belief that
Germany IS approaching d collapse
continues to be the dominant idea of
the enemy countries, 1t would be folly
for Germany to talce the initiative in
proposing terms OF peace. Germany,
however, is ready at any time to con
slider peace suggestion from the
countries with which she is at war;
does not wish continuation OF the
war, and associates herself, under
these circumstances, from responsible
ity for its prolongation.
This is the substance OF the German
imperial chancellor's reply in the
Reichstag to Socialist Interpolation
on peace, in which he painted pic
ture Of Germany triumphant on all
sides and supplied with everything,
even II not In abundance, necessary to
the continuation of the war.
Many officers who had returned
from the front were present in their
field gray uniforms, decorated with
the Iron Cross, including the Radical
member, Ludwig Haas, and the Social
list, DR.. Albert Suedekum. The CALLER
les were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity. During the last few days be-
fore convening members Of parliament
had been busy telling, writing to and
wiring their constituents that no more
admission cards were at their dispos-
al. The members OF the diplomatic
corps were almost all present. among
whom was the United States ambassa-
dor.
In discussing the subject Of peace,
the chancellor said:
"At present they speak Of war of
humiliation against us. We nave to
count with this fact. Theoretical argu.
ments for peace or peace propositions
will not advance US, will not bring the
end nearer.
"If our enemies make the peace pro-
posals compatible with Germany's dig
nifty and safety, then we shall always
be ready to discuss them. Fully con.
scious Of our mistaken military sue
cesses, we decline the responsibility
for the continuance Of the misery
which now fills Europe and the whole
world. Nobody can say that we are
continuing the war because we still
want to conquer this or that country
as pledge"
This statement was greeted With
general and enthusiastic applause.

AMMUNITION CITY BURNS
Hopewell, Va, Where War Supplies
Are Made, Wiped Cut by Flames.
Save Du Point Plant.

Hopewell, Va.-This mushroom town
Of $4,000 people, grown up since last
summer with the great new gun cot
ton plant of the Du Pont Powder Com
pany, was completely wiped off the
map on Dec. by fire which started
in restaurant and did property dam
age estimated as high as $3,000,000.
The Du Pont works, outside of the
settlement, were unchanged, but were
seriously threatened. Villages A and
B, near Hopewell, built to house the
families Of married employees Of the
factory. also escaped.
Scenes of wild disorder accompanied
the fire. and citizens lynched negro
for footing. There was no loss of life
otherwise, however. and only few
minor injuries were reported.
Martial law was proclaimed at once
with the arrival of six military COM
panies rushed from Richmond by order
of Gov. Stuart. The thousands OF
homeless men. women and children
had been sent to Petersburg and Rich
mond, but many men remained to
guard what little property they mad
been able to save from the fire.
The fire was said to have been caus-
ed by the overturning Of an oil stove.
though there were rumors thar II had
been incendiary. These rumors were
at first given credence in many quar-
ters because Of the arrest at the gun
cotton factory Of a man whom. factory
officials said. had attempted TO put
charge of nitroglycerin in one OF the
heater houses at the factory and had
been under surveillance for several
days. He is prisoner at the factory
jail.
The fire ragged from 1:45 pm. until
nearly pm. Available fire fighting
apparatus was utterly inadequate to
cope with the situation. the flames eat
ing their way through the flinnsy frame
structures. thrown up during the early
days Of the town last summer. like 50
much finder.
Several times sparks set fire to mule
sheds Of the explosive factory, but the
flames which followed were quickly
extinguished.
When it was seen that the town vas
doomed and the great gun cotton plant
endangered, orders were issued sus-
pending all operations and the factory
closed. The operatives we're set to
work protecting the buildings from
sparks. The gravest danger was from
woods nearby. which caught fire and
were still burning late in the mgnt,
