Army Training Adds
to the Soldiers Physique

Washington, Aug. "A recent
survey of the physical condition of
the men at one of the Army training
camps shows by comparison with
the data taken at their coming that
they have gained from a half inch
to an inch in height and from five TO
twenty-five pounds in weight. This
is a convincing demonstration, both
10 the men themselves and to the
home folks, of the value of sub
stantial and nourishing food, regular
hours, sanitary environment, and
regular exercises. STOPPED shoulders
have been Strengthened, caved in
chests filled out, sagging "tummles"
made hard and able to hold their
own in the place where nature in
tended them to be, and steps that
once dragged listlessly move with a
springiness and vigor that indicate
the healthy man.

BECOME NORMAL TWO YEARS SAYS
 SEC. J. DANIELS
(The Associated PreSs)

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 1S.-Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in addressing the governors convention here to- day, stated that it would be two years before conditions became nor nal in the United States after peace was declared. It might be accom- plished in one year, but from all in dications two years would be a better limit owing to the amount of work to be done.
 He further stated that the United States would be fortunate if condi- tions abroad made the demobilization of its forces possible at sucn an early date. He also stated that the navy must be increased and strengthened so as to enable the United States to contribute as many units as any other nation to the international DO, lice force. He fully expected that one of the actions of the peace con- ference would be the stopping of competitive big navy building.

FIENDISH RAID WASPLANNEDBY
 HUNS ON PARIS
(The Associated Press)

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-One of the most fiendish plans ever conceived by the human mind was brot to light today when the Figaro published an ac- count today whereby the Germans were to destroy the city of Paris and leave path of destruction and death after their visit.
 The plan, as exposed, was that Germany would send an air fleet of thirtyfive of it's largest planes arm- ed with thousands of incendiary bombs, which, when dropped, would explode and scatter a combustible fluid that could not be put out with water but which would spread when water was put on it. It was the aim to drop these bombs in all parts of the city. Another air fleet would follow the first and drop explosive and death dealing bombs. upon those who were engaged in putting the fires out
 The plan was never carried into execution owing to the armistice be- ing enforced.
