re ONE WHEN ARMlSTiCE
WAS DECLARED.
OUR GENERAL GIVES FIGURES
Have Now Only is Per Cent Of
Streng at Time War Ended-Fis-
ures Disclosed by War Depart
ment From France.

Washington.-The central powers
faced odds of greater than two to one
in modified troops when Germany
gave up the fight last November. The
estimated aggregate strength of the
enemy power at that time, according
to official estimates made public this
week by General March, chief of staff,
was 100000. The indicated aggre-
gate allied strength on the date was
more than 100000.
This situation is disclosed in the
figures received by the war depart
ment from France giving the present
status of the belligerent armies. They
show that the central powers on
March / had under arms 1,125,000
men while the allied forces aggre-
gated 100000.
Following is General March's state
ment:
We have received from France
some rather interesting figures about
the rehabilitation of the central pow
ers and the rehabilitation of the en-
tire allies forces to include February.
The rehabilitation has been going on,
of course, since then, but the figures
show what has been happening over
there. The central powers figures

FRANCE TO STAND
FOR BIG PREPARATION
"Still a Gap Between What We Are
Offered and What We Demand"
Says lie Matn.

Paris.-France can not yield on the
question of obtaining adequate repara-
ton from Germany, the Matin de-
cares in recent editorial dealing
with the peace conference situation
regarding the French claims.
"On all territorial questions sat
isfactory agreement is being reached, y
the Matin says, but concerning the
reparation question there is still a
gap between what we are offered
and what we justly demand The
French government will not sign a
treaty which will mean the bank
ruptcy of France"
In leading up to this declaration the
Matin notes that the French, British
and American peoples are still dis
playing the same friendly feelings as
heretofore for one another.

INDUSTRY AND IMPROVEMENT

There seems to be general approval
in Yakima county, Washington, to the
plan to call for county bond issue
of 100000 to build roads.
The Whitman college campaign for
an endowment and new building fund
of 100000 was given a rousing start
at Walla Walla, April 2, at the open
ing banquet held at the Dacres hotel.
Citizens of Medical Lake, Wash,
have already raised over $4,000 and
expect to raise $4,000 to $4,000 to-
ward the new $250,000 sanitarium
which eastern capital, represented by
DR.. NJ. d. Kelly of Milwaukee, pro-
poses to establish at Medical Lake.
T. r. Slusher of Selah, Wash, plans
building a $4,000 addition to his cold
storage warehouse at that point. The
addition will provide space for 200
carloads of cold storage and Is car
loads of common storage. The plant
will be especially equipped for han
ding re-cooled pears in which last
season there was heavy spoilage.
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief engi-
neer of the Iowa state highway COM
mission, has been appointed by the
secretary of agriculture as engineer in
immediate charge of the work under
the federal aid road act, which pro-
vides for cooperation between the
states and the federal government in
the construction and improvement of
roads. Mr.. Macdonald will imme-
diately supervise and direct all the ac-
tivities of the bureau of public roads
under the federal aid road act, in
Guiding the expenditure of the ad-
ditional appropriation of 100000, 600
provided by the postoffice appropria-
ton act for the extension and develop
ment of highway construction during
the present and the next two fiscal
years. For the time being, in the
midst of the pressure incident to the
resumption and extension of road
work, Mr.. Macdonald will devote his
energies to problems arising under
the federal aid road act. 1t is planned
that, in the near future, he will for
mally assume the position of director
of the bureau of public roads, made
vacant by the death Of Logan Waller
Page.

GEN. MARCH MAKES COMMENT.
Tells of the Achievement of the Unit
ed States in Worlds War.

Commenting on the fact that Sun
day was the second anniversary of
the entrance of the United States into
the war, General March Monday said:
April g. was the second anniyer-
sary of the entrance of the United
States into the world war. One year
ago we were starting a tremendous
drive to get troops to France. When
took charge of the office of chief
of staff on March of last year
found that February had touched bot
tom in the number of troops shipped
abroad-oply $4,000 men having
sailed.
I'VE built ships; we bought ships;
we begged ships; we Communicated
ships and on last April the flood
of men across seas had definately be-
gun, increasing in volume until we
| reached our maximum of 100000 men
in one month. Now on our second
anniversary the great problem is to
get our men back to their homes
from across the seas. | have set as
mark to be reached 10000 men in
| one month. Each month is showing
steady increase over the month be-
fore, and we will do our best to break
the record in transatlantic shipments.
Decentralization has been speeded
up at home. One camp has estab-
lished camp record of demobilizing
over 1000 men in one day, and we
| can easily handle the maximum num-
Der of men per month which the
available shipping permits us to bring
back. Every state in the Union is
the finest types of American man

the thanks of the people,

CHAPTER TX.
A Find in the Drifts.

Before the week was over, winter
had come to Sunrise Cove and The
Corners in earnest. Snow fell and
drifted, until there was scarcely any
thing to be seen one morning when
Carolyn May awoke and looked out of
her bedroom windows but q white,
f1eecy mantle.
This was more snow than the little
girl had ever seen in New York. She
came down to breakfast very much ex-
cited.
Uncle Joe had shoveled Off the porch
and steps, and Prince had beaten his
own dooryard in the snow in front of
his house. For he had a house of his
own, nova roomy, warm one-built
by Mr.. Parlow.
1t must be confessed that, although
Uncle Joe paid for the building of his
doghouse, 1t never would have been
built by Jedidiah Parlow had it not
been for Carolyn May.
At noon Uncle Joe came home, drag.
ging a sled-a big roorny one, glisten-
Ing with red paint. Just the incest
sled Carolyn May mad ever seen, and
one of the best the hardware dealer
carried In stock.
"Oh, my, that's lovelyw breathed
the little girl in awed delight. "That's
ever SO much better than any sled l
ever had before. And Prince could
draw me on 1t, If only had harness
for him. He used to drag me In the
park. OF course, If he saw a cat, had
to get Off and hold him."
MIR. Stagg, once started upon the
path Of good deeds, seemed to like It.
At night he brought home certain
straps and rivets, and In the kitchen,
much to Aunty Roses amazement, he
fitted Prince to harness which the
next day Carolyn May used on the dog,
and Prince drew her very nicely along
the beaten paths.
BY Saturday the roads were in splen-
did condition for sleighing.
So Carolyn May went shedding.
Out of sight of the houses grouped
at The Corners the road to town
seemed as lonely as though it were a
veritable wilderness. Here and there
the drifts had piled six feet deep, for
the wind had a free sweep across the
barrens.
"Now, there's somebody coming"
said Carolyn May, seeing moving OBJ
ject ahead between the clouds of drift
ing snow spray. "Is it sleigh, Princey,
| or just MANI"
She lost sight of the object, then
sighted 1t again.
1T must be man. 1t can't be a
bear, Princey."
The strange object had disappeared
again.
1t was just at the place where the
spring spouted out of the rocky hillside
and trickled across the road. There

Mr.. Parlow slid back the front door

Miss Amanda's attention had already
been attracted to the strange arrival.
She ran out and helped her father raise
the injured man from the sled. To-
gether they led him into the cottage.
He was not at all bad-looking man,
although his clothing was rough and
coarse.
