AMAZED BY SIZE
 OF GERMAN ARMY
American Says It Is Now Greater
 Than Ever

London, Feb. 15.-An Amsterdam despatch to the Times quotes an American who has just arrived there from Frankfurt, where he had resid- ed for eighteen months, as saying the Gemans have great and surprising number of new troops. The despatch says that every German man of mil itary age who is not engaged in the munitions factories has been ordere1 into the army, with the result that the German troops are now more numerous than at the beginning of the war.
 The American is quoted as saying that the age limit will certainly be increased if necessary. He did not believe the Germans would be de- feated in the spring, but if the war tasted another two years the Allies probably would win.
 According to the informant. the financial question was beginning to be serious and while the next war loan might succeed it probable would be the last successful one, as the people realize that matters cannot

PlainVilIe News PAID FATHERS FINE
 BUT WANTS IT BACK
SilYirioS Claim Death Cancelled
 Parents Debt to Courts MAY SUE TO RECOVER $50


 Court, Was Killed Before His Fine
 Was Paid in F'ull-Benjamin- Hart Engagement.
 Can a dead mans relatives or his estate be held accountable for tho pay ment of fines imposed on him in spo- lice courts? This question may be an swered by jury to settle a difference between the town and members of the family of Antonio Silverio, reports in circulation today indicating that the latter's son has consulted counsel with a view of bringing suit to recover $50 paid to Justice A. H. Condell as the balance of an amount, due on a fine imposed on his father short time be- fore his death for violation of the liquor laws.
 Silverios son now seemingly regrets his action in paying the money as he claims that he settled the account, be- lieving that he would get reimburse ment from his fathers estate. He con- siders that he would be justified in asking the owner to pay him back the money as he could not be held legally responsible for the debt.
 Silverio was among those caught in the raids on "blind tigers made by state police officers last fall. He was convicted on several counts and the fines imposed on him and the costs of prosecution, which he also had to pay totalled $157. At his request he was given thirty days in which to make a settlement. He contributed $10O on the day of his hearing and subsequently paid $7, leaving balance of $50 which he promised to raise before the expir- ation of the time allowed him.
 He was killed by train near his home north of the passenger station before the bill was settled. Subse- quently his son came to Justice Con- dell and paid over the $50 due to the court It is said that later he tried to collect from his fathers estate but his sister, the other heir, was not inclined to acknowledge the legality of his claim.
 As a result of the family difficulties, legal advice was sought and the Ques- tion has been raised as to whether the court could collect the balance of the fine after the accused had died.
 Police courts invariably collect the money in cases where fines are inn posed or take the prisoners body,
 
 jail. In Silverio's case the court had no use for the body, as life was eX- tinct, and some lawyers argue that his estate could not be held liable for the penalty imposed on him for law vio- lations
 Regarding the probable action Jus- tice Condell declares that Silverio's son came to him voluntarily and paid the amount due on the fine. The court had no right to refuse the offer to pay what would stand as a moral if not a legal debt and he of course accepted it. He has turned the money over to the town treasurer as is the custom and it will certainly take a jury decision to di- vorce the exchequer from it.
 Friends of the Silverios have hinted that the money was paid over only after a police officer had advised the dead mans son that the estate was H. able for the fine. They suggested that
