Ore no more, In name at least. The
fepnblic's name for them Is defense,
and they are placed under charge of
Gustav Noske, much trusted by the
government for his prompt action in
emergencies. and much hated by the
Sparthcans for his relentless opposi-
don when disorders break out.
59 Noske's appointment as head of the
navy, as well as the army. was regard
ed none too seriously, by Noske him
eelf. at least. When asked by a news
paper man what he expected to do
about the naval affairs of Germany in
the future, Noske laughed and replied
why worry about naval affairs, when
We haven't any navy?"
There are still sailors in big num-
Ders in Germany. however, and they
nave been problem. During the revo-
lution the sailors played an important
part. and most of them developed such
q liking to land duty in Berlin and the
0ther big cities that they have refused
~ leave for Kiel or any of the har-
pors. Now the sailors are used in the
nard regiments all over Germany,
along with soldiers.
Big Army Disappears.
The German army is in process of
reorganization. Immediately after the
armistice the army almost disappeared
as an organized unit, and though there
were millions of men in uniform scat
tered all over the land, none was re-
sponslble to anyone, and officers were
moi safe in uniform. In localities the
soldiers joined Red guard" groups,
agd some served and others misused
their privileges. Thus the army as 1t
WAS known in the old days practically
vanished. except for few divisions
under Hindenburg, camped behind the
Rhine. and the troops along the Polish
BORDER.
Now the only army of the field that
6eInany has Is in the east to guard
agr'nSt the Poles. 1t is commanded
~ Iindenburs and is supposed to be
not more than 10000 or 10000 men,
1t numbers that many. However,
e0vetnment troops are scattered over
the country in every big city and in
Industrial centers to guard against
disorders. The big problem is keep
ing these troops faithful and salts

money Is at large. Under Noske and

Germany's army Is in transitory

DENY INSULTS TO
FORT SOLDIERS
Delaware City Residents
Say Town Respects Uncle
Sam Men
RESENT STATEMENTS =
BY UNIFORMED MAN

Indignant over a statement mads by
Fort DUPONT soldier thst men In uni
form are disrespectfully treated by
residents OF Delaware City, residents
OF the town declare that they have
always received the soldiers with
courtesy and fairness. The attack on
the residents OF the soldier, they say.
was evidently made by one who has a
personal grievance.
Frederick d. Bender. former repre-
sentative, secretary OF the Delaware
City Board Of Trade and g business
man, said that the soldiers statement
was unjust and Is resented by the
people OF the town.
In Delaware City we have always
extended the most cordial hospitality
to the soldiers OF Fort DUPONT" ne
said, pointing out that the soldiers
were always invited to participate In
all public affairs OF the town and were
requested TO attend all the dances and
entertainments given by the churches,
schools, societies and other entertain
ments.
Mr.. Bender stated that he has been
in business In the town for the past
twenty years during which he and all
other business men OF Delaware City
have treated the soldiers with the
greatest consideration. In some in
stances where the soldiers OF the Fort
had some complaints to make. the
business men have taken Il up for
them with their representatives in
Congress and in many other ways have
endeavored TO make things agreeable
for the boys in uniform.
He declared that all the people OF
Delaware City feel that 10 a certain
extent the town is dependent upon
Fort Dupont and in appreciation OF
that fact they have always tried 10
make the men from the Fort feel at
home in the town.
Referring 70 the statement made
by the soldier that the people look
down upon the soldiers and do not
want the girls 10 go with men In uni
form. he pointed out that some OF the
best girls in Delaware City have mar
ried soldier boys. and that In many
instances the girls prefer the men In
uniform 10 the civilians.
William ". Householder. a resident
Of Delaware City. entertained similar
views on the subject to those ex-
pressed by Mr.. Bender. He added.
however. that there are some Of the
soldier boys who do not want TO obey
the laws and they drive through the
streets Of Delaware City at high speed
in automobiles.
He pointed out that while Delaware
City always has cordial welcome at
oil times ic= the soldiers from the
Fort. and Ike 10 have them come 10
town as often as they can, yet they
must abide by the law willis they are
in the town limits.
Because a few OF the soldiers may
have been censured for unruly con-
duct does not mean that the people
OF the town are "down on" all men
in uniform, but on the contrary they
have the grestest respect for the sol
diers who conduct themselves properly.
Mr.. Householder stated the people OF
Delaware City are highly indignant
over the article from the soldier,
which they deem 10 be wholly un-
warranted and uncalled for. He stated
that this opinion Is shared by practic-
ally all the business men and citizens
Of the town.
