5O0,OOO TROOPS IN
 FRANCE EARLY IN 1913
MILLION AND HALF MORE FULLY EQUIPPED AND READY TO
 BE TRANSPORTED.
STATEMENT SEC'Y. BAKER
This Great Fighting Force, Probably Little Expected By German Gen eral Staff, To Be in Fighting This
 Year, Says Secretary of War.

Washington.-Five hundred thous- and troops in France early this year and million and a half more ready to go-fully equipped and with the ar tillery to support them-this was the answer Secretary Baker gave the Sen ate military committee to the charge of efficiency breakdown in the military establishment.
 The startling progress of the war in the development of munitions will be shown, he said, by the fact that weap- ons devised by American experts dur ing the last few months have been discarded. Then taking up a copy of the Metropolitan Magazine from last August, MT. Baker read protest in ts editorial columns against the sup posed policy of the government to make it's contribution to the financial and industrial; ito hold off until the allies win the war for us"
 A question brought out that Colonel Roosevelt was then associate editor of the magazine, which urged that ''every nerve be strained to get 150,000 to 200,000 men to France in 1917.
 T am disclosing no secret Secre tary Baker said, pausing. when l say that we exceeded that maximum in I9I7.9
 As the climax of a days explana- ton of all that the military establish meat had done, freely coufassns faults and fmDavfectiGre in SD vast an undertaking, but maintaining that cut of each deficiency the remedy has been found, the secretary 0f war dis closed what hitherto has heel rcgard- cd as a military secret and what tBe German people little suspect Thi5 groat Gghang force. prC5aa-y little eZ- pec-ef Uv the German general sJsG itself wilI be composed of the men now with General FershinT. the 32 di- visions 0f troop now iu caat1nmeu s and camps in the United States and ready t0 move, Secretary Baker said, and hH tBa next fneneneats to be drawn and trained this spring under tho seIec5iEo service law.
 Elementary equipment Of the men from the United States is assured and the artillery necessary 10 their sup. port will come from the British and ] French governments, which have such an excess of ordnance that they have on their own initiative offered to sup ply the guns and save ships which would be used for their transport.

Where Canes Are Popular.

There is probably no country in the world where the use of walking sticks is so general as in the United King dom. Practically every man carries a cane, not only in the towns and cities but also in the country; and, in addi- tien, there is a large demand for walk. ing sticks for women, these being used extensively in the country and at sea- side resorts, but not to great extent in the cities.
 The winter months are always rainy and even during the summer the weather is often very unsettled, so that the use of umbrellas is also unusually great. These conditions have made the manufacture of umbrellas and walking sticks an important industry in the British isles.

Orioin of "Assassin. P

The drug hashish or Indian hemp, for which Egyptians will pay such a high price, has given us our word, assassin" These desperadoes form ed originally a secret society in Per sia, relates London Chronicle, in the eleventh century, members of which were under a vow of blind obedience to their chief. They were called upon to perpetrate the most atrocious deeds, and before these ruffians were sent out to perform their grewsome tasks they were given hashish, by which they were thrown into a kind of ec- stasy or intoxication. Hence they were called "Hashishin," meaning hemp eaters. The word became part of Western languages, but was changed into "assassins."

Power Of Monev

Money may be misused. The power it represents may be abused, says a noted writer, just as the power of the press or any other physical or social force may be abused. And the desire for money may be perverted, just as may be any other normal or healthy desire. But that is not the way to look at money any more than It is the way to look at any other power or quality of human nature that may be used either for good or evil.
