2O5, 900 OFFICERS
IN ARMY AND NAVY

Washington, Sept. 11.-There are
now 205,000 officers in the United
States army and navy today. 1856, 900
being army men and 10000 navy men.
Before the possibility of UNPLEASANT
ness with Mexico developed. the tradi-
tional army of the United States was
about 25. 900 men on paper with about
5000 officers When the Mexican
trouble became acute there were at
one time on the Mexican border about
10000 men. including the national
guard. In the early part of 1917 there
were approximately 10000 men iL
the regular army and about $4,000 en-
listed men in the navy.
The 205.00o officers command Just
now about 100000 sailors and marines
and about three million men of the
army. The total number of men in
the army by July will he nearly A.
100000 and in the navy. 10000.
Officers saw that there is no absolute
ratio on which to calculate how many
officers will be in the service Of the
army and navy by July 1, 1919.

IN A DOUBLE GAME
Germany Has Launched Decep-
tive Peace Offensive.
At Same Time Incites BOlshe-
Wiki to War on Allies.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Germany is
playing a sinister double game of
peace and war, according to informa-
ton here today. Her peace game is
the use of Baron Burian, Austrian
foreign minister, to put out get to-
gether' feelers. Her war game is in
citement of the Bolsheviki to war on
the allies in the north.
The speace game offers no prospect
of fruition.
Government authorities assured to-
day that there is no desire on the part
Of the United States to listen to any
proposals from the German pawn
Austria-at this time. The allies and
the United States are in full accord M
to prosecution of the war. Hence 1t
the Austrian suggestion now as there
was on a previous occasion. when 1t
appeared for a time that the Austrians
might be sincere.
Is German Inspired.
1t is possible that Burian is going
on his own accord in suggesting that
the allies and the central powers try
to-. clear away basic differences as a
high authority here. believes that his
talk as quoted in Vienna dispatches
was other than German inspired AS
for the war game, it is understood
here that Germany took the initiative
in forcing the Bolshevik treaty
whereby the discredited regime in
Russia is to undertake war on the
allies in the north in return for GER
tain protection from Germany. Like
all other German promises this one

Capt. Frank E. Shaw today received
authorization from the war DEPART
ment permitting the enrolment of
