LURE OF WEST CALLS BOYS TO
 PIANO BOX LAIR

Desirous of following the famous admonition of Horace Greeley, reIa- tive to going West, three boys were arrested by Detective Sergeant George Simon, on an East Main street trolley car this morning, and were held at police headquarters for their parents.
 The boys are 12 and 13 years old, and when arrested were armed with cap pistols and blank cartridge pis- tols They all live on the East Side, and are said to have stayed away from home for the past four nights.
 Detective Simon was riding on the same car with the youngsters this morning, when he overheard them planning for the trip West They had planned to go to tne freight yards, and jump a freight" the first one West. They had made up their minds to go to either Arizona or Texas One of the boys said that he would not go to Montana, or Okla homa as all of the Indians in that part of the country were now tame. but that he understood there was plenty of excitement~to be had along the border.
 In a vacant lot on the East Side
 
 in a piana box. They showed Simon their camp" which had been fitted by them, with the walls adorned with pictures of William R. Hart, Dustin Farnum and other movie heroes, logged out in full wild west regiala.
 Asked as to how they managed to live since they have been away from home. the boys stated that in the early hours of the morning they con ducted foraging excursions. The po- lice state that this accounts for the large number of complaints which have reached the Second precinct dur ing the past few days, of thefts of milk, crullers and rolls from the back doors of householders in the Eastern part of the city.
 The boys said that stealing pro- vender from back doors was small time stuff and that they proposed to go out West where there were no po licemen, or truant officers, who make life miserable for adventuresome boys.

BRITISH TROOPS
 IN MANY LANDS

London, Feb. 25.---(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-A glance at the maps of Europe and Asia on which are designated position of Brit. ish troops shows them to be rather well spotted. For one reason or an- other the British War department still considers it necessary to keep troops in some of the -the-way places of the world While it is planned to reduce most of the forces there is immediate prospect of the withdrawal of any force.
 In the Balkans the British are using their forces as a stabilizing influence against the varied ambitions of the several states. Tn trans-Caspia, north west of Afghanistan, they are protect ing the population from Turkish ex- cesses, the result of the refusal of the Turks to realize they have been beaten in the war. In trans-CauCasia they are fighting the Russian BOlsheviki. In northern Italy they are acting as a buffer between the Italians and Jugo o-Slovaks until the peace confer ence settles differences there. Several commands are in Russia and fairly large forces are being maintained in India, NIesopotamia and northern Per- sia.
 Three divisions of the force sent to Italy in 1917 remain but in consider ably redced numbers. Many men have been demobilized and none sent to re place them. One battalion is at Plume. another in Northern TyroI. A part of this force will be used for the Allied Army of Occupation in Austria.
 The three divisiNus in the Balkans are stationed in the Dobrudja which is the subject of considerable coutro- versy between Rumania. and Bulgaria, near COnstantinOple and the Dar5an- elles and in the vicinity of Saloniki.
 In Egypt and Palestine there might be more trouble with the Turks if a British force was not maintained there while in NIesopotamia. it is feared the inhabitants freed even of Turkish control, would start fighting among themselves if not controlled by the military. These influences necessitate Keeping a Certain number of troops in these areas, in the opinion of the War Office officials here.
 The British have troops in Russia on the Murnlan coast, south of Arch angel, and at Omsl1 while at Nladi- vOstok is a. brigade of Canadians.
 There is a British garrison of 70, GOO in India and it is not expected to re- 6uce this force until just before the heated season begins. Then it is planned to bring home about 20, coo if shipping facilities are available. This is an unusually large garrison for In- dia but the War and Colonial Office officials believe a, large garrison will be necessary for some time.
