GERRHANY IS REMAKING HER ARMY
 FOR BLOODY VAR OF REVENGE

A measure of this order enforced by the Entente is sufficient to annfhilate a police force already insufficient to maintain order and would render 1t impossible for Germany to carry out their clauses of the Versailles Treaty. The menace, one can see-and fl is not the only one-4s but thinIy dis gufsed. Behind the drolI silhouette of Erzberger, the interloping negotf- ator whose anti-militarist campaign seems to have missed fire, appears the powerful torso of the man of &C., ton. of energy, and of fight in the person of the military dictator, Noslxe. Germany is always doubIe-faced.

 Ar1HY of CadreS
 Be that as it may, despite all the protestations to the contrary of M. Noske, Germany. from this moment, is preparing for her war of revenge. Out of the Reiehswehr, which is the volunteer army provided for in the Versailles Treaty, the nucleus of a powerful national army is being formed. To prove this is so, 1t may be stated that in the new brigades- in reality divisions-the company ef- feetiveHess are in proportions, hith- eFte unknown except in the Hartfan or Dominican armies. of four to ssv- eH officers and from thirty-fivs to ferty-tws HoB-esmmissioned officers for forty te feFty-five men, There Is here a real army of Cadres, No stone is left HRtHFHsd-high pay, special faveFs, premises of administrative posts after a certain period of ssF- vice-to attract OF retain in the new army nsR-cemmissieRed and eoAHais- stoned officers.

HENRY FIRST
 KEPT BROTHER
 IN A DUNGEON
Robert Duke of Normandy Was Cruelty Confined
 For 30 Years.

On Sept. 27, 11O6, in battle before the walls of Tinchebray in France between two brothers, Henry of Eng land and Robert, Duke of Normandy, the latter was defeated and impris- Oned by his brother in a frightful dungeon for 30 years.
 Why must it ever be thus, that a mans foes are they of his own house hold. No more terrible cell can be imagined than that which saw the entrance of Robert, Duke of Norman dy, into it's darkness. The writer has been in it many times when living in the quaint old town of Cardiff Wales, where the Courthouse Tower rears its grim head on the estates of the Marquis of Butte who owns one of the celebrated mediaeval de- mesnes in all England, where the "donjon" or keep still stands with in the old walled acres, its majestic, sinister and ruined head having ra1ien into the exact shape of the English Crown which poor Robert claimed for his Father, William the Conquer or. In 1O77, Robert had raised a re- bellion against his father in Norman dy, aided by his mother, Matilda. Will liam the Conqueror came over to queH the rebellion, and was killed by a fall from his horse plunging through the falling cinders of a house on fire at Nantes. Robert joined the First Crusade whose enthusiasts swept Europe with their ardor. Re turning from the Crusade triumphant having stormed and captured Jerusa- lem, Robert-fushed with victory landed an army in England to claim the throne of his father William. Can I not, says he, overrun other lands than the Holy Land? There was his fatal mistake. True, he re- signed his claim in favor of his bro ther Henry, but Henry,-jealous, i'm placable Henry.-crept over to Nor mandy Robert gave him battle at Tinchebray. Henry dragged the tri- umphant Crusader to England, and threw him into the Courthouse Tower in old Caer on the Taff (Cardiff) There are shown today in that hid eous dungeon dimmed of light, drip ping with damp and creeping things the implements of torture that Henry caused to be used,-the pincers, and basin in which his brothers eyes were put out. The writer has handled these, and shuddered, "Oh, why to man must manhood be so basel"

diitonal consular officers, whose sta tus will be similar to that of principal officers, except that they will act in states and communities of lesser inn portance. These men will find a need that has been long felt by the United States in it's interests abroad. Heretofore their work has been large ly attended to by foreigners, natives of the states to which they were at tached, who were employed very much as though they were foreign at torneys.
 The work the Consular Service ac- complished during the war will re- main in part a closed book, and in fact so many and varied were the du- ties they performed that some of them, of no official significance, will never be reported The Service was however, the outpost of the nation in the countries outside of the Central Powers. It is estimated that it spent several billions Of dollars in the busi- ness of making war purchases for the government.
 The nitrates necessary for this country from Chile, special woods from South America, tin from Singa- pore and other purchases obtainable s7 through the consuls. In the matter of keeping all shipping interests in- formed in the war time shipping ocn- dItions their reports were absolutely essential
 Much of the supplies for the Amer ican naval and merchant ships ir foreign ports were obtained through the consuls and they also handled the work of routing the American merchant shipping.
 In the new field of American commerce they will play a relative ly important part. The American Service has grown during the past six or eight years until 1t is rapidly increasing in prestige in foreign coun- tries and fast paralleling the stand of other countries; heretofore the recognized leaders in the international field.
 Through larger appropriations Il has been possible in recent years tc secure men of greater experience IT the commercial and diplomatic field. At one time salaries were so low that many men needed in the service re- fused to take the berths offered. Al that time also the cOnsuls had to pay their own own way to their posts and many men of family refused tC accept appointment. Also many o1 our coQsulares were in poor condition and this was particularly true in the oriental countries, where the orientals look to outward appearances as ar indication of the prestige and in- fuence of a country.
 All of this has now been changed 1 The fields of both the Commerce and State Department foreign services have been improved particularly dur ing the period just preceding and | since the war.
 The foreign fields are already being investigated and reported on and as the barriers of trade fall with the settling of the reconstruction period the United States will be in a posi- ton to compete with the best agents in the market in the work of getting American made products and Ameri- can raw materials to ports and places where the demand for them exists or where 1t can be created.

LOSES COMMAND FOR
NOT CITING ROYALTY
Colonel Could Not Recommend
Medal for Archduke's Son Far
Away From the Fighting.

VIENNA, January 20 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press)-Of
how little importance and Significance
were some of the orders and decora-
tions bestowed upon princes and no.
bles during the war is indicated by a
little story now going the rounds in
Vienna 1t concerns Albrecht, the son
of Archduke Friedrich.
He was assigned to the front with
a Tyrol Kaiser regiment, but with in
structions to the colonel and com
mander that he must never be en-
dangered- In 1917. the regiment had
strenuous battle with the Italians al
Schluderbach and suffered heavy
losses.
When the authorities looked over
the list of recommendations for deco
rations after the battle it was noticed
that Archduke Albrecht's name was
not present. 1t was learned that he
had been three kilometers behind the
line during the fighting. The colonel
declared he could not cite him as one
of his bravest, since 1t would make
ill-feellng among the soldiers and was
not justified.
An order then was issued command
ing the colonel to recommend Albrecht
for the golden medal for bravery. and
when the officer refused he was re-
lieyed from his command.

BRITISH MYSTERY SHIP"
COMING FOR EXHIBIT
Will Cross in the Spring and Visit
q. S. and Canadian Ports on
the Great Lakes.

WINNIPEG, Canada, February s.
Information from Ottawa officially
confirms reports that one of the much
discussed British mystery ships" that
preyed on unsuspecting German sub
marines will cross the Atlantic in the
spring and visit a number of American
and Canadian ports on the great lakes.
1t would be the first allied warship to
come to the lake region.
Mystery ships. carefully guarded
naval secret, were built with draft
or three and one-half feet, maxim g
them. almost immunite from torpedo
attacks. They resemb1ed slow-going.
helpless tramps, but carried guns OF
sufficient caliber to sink any subma-
rine afioat- Because of their light
draft, the boats are able to nayi-
gate the st. Lawrence canals. Tenta-
tive plans. it is understood, provide
that the mystery ship" to be sent
over will carry an interesting exhibit
of naval weapons and trophies.
