had had handed to her by a friend, s.

had every reason to be proud Of the
citrus specimen. The lemon weighed
IA lbs and in size it was larger than
ordinary grape fruit. These are facts,
though they cannot be easily verified

mine Size Of Standing Army.
IRy %. q. Doughertyl

tBy Z. @. Doughertyl
Washington. Oct. 2q.--Gen. John J
PershinG. commander-in-chl of the
American army overseas, Is to have the
last word in determining the size o:
Americas future army. When the
general appears this week before the
Joint meeting OF the senate and houes
committees on military affairs, he u
expected TO make his opinions known
on the numerical strength the nations
armed force should De.
The return TO Washington Of General
Pershing also is expected to signal the
withdra wal by Secretary Of War FAX
er Of his recommendation FOR a stand
ing army Of more than 100000 aud ask
about 100000 instead. It is known
that Secretary Baker has discussed
with General Pershing the size Of the
army necessary, and that he Intends
TO again so over the subject with Per-
shing upon his return. General Per-
shing is understood 70 have advised
several senators that he Considers an
army of 2I5,C6G sufficiently layse for
any domestic needs.
The reason mentioned for Mr.. Ba-
ker's revision of his estimate is that
the administration has been bonn
barded from one side Of the country to
the othsr for recommending an army
twice the size that offlcers IN the
American expea.tlon6ry forces believe
Is necessary. General PershinE. It Is
believed. furnishes Secretary Baker a
convenient way Of getting out OF q
tickiish eitusttor.
It has been presumed by the military
affairs committee OF both the senate
and house that the war departments
army plan had been carefully thought
out. But Mr.. Baker now Is repre-
scented as saying the GsurAs submitted
Is scarcely more than g guess. The
war secretary's new explanation is that
the war department Is fsuIing on an
army about the size that was author

GERMANS EVADE TREATY.
Establish Security Police, In Reality
Military Organizations


With the Americans in Germany.
Oct. s.-The German government is
using statistics on the increase OF
crime ii Germany since the end OF the
war as the basis and the excuse for the
formation Of numerous units Of eecur-
tty police. as they are called. They are
20 have a purely military interior or
ganizat,on. cioaked outwardiy. how
ever as police and int-usted only with
police powers.
The intention Of the government, az
voiced in the German newspapers. Is
TO have these organizations as instFu-
1nents Of the police chiefs Of the var1-
ous cities without any connection with
the military authorities. II appears,
however, according to the information
in the hands Of the Americans. that
these units are to be housed in bar
racks In order to be available IN case
Of any concerted trouble. Companies
are to be formed, each CT 100 men. with
q leader and a number Of officers for
each company.
While these units may perform po-
lice duties they are nevertheless ac-
cord!ng to reports reaching American
headquarters, to be veil bodies
OF men to be incorporated into the
national army at q moments notice.
The security police rs to be the
armed military constabulary for the
larger towns. as differentiated from
the voluntary guards for the smaller
towns. the civil gendarmerie in the
country districts. and the civil police
In the towns.
Figures quoted IN the newspapers
recently show 1900 crimes in Ger
many IN the period from Jan. to june
80 last, az against 10000 in the whole
CT 1918. Officials say thai. III the event
Of ser.ous outbreaks this winter the
present civil police canro. be so e1-
banded as to handle the situation.
Up to this time B-eslau has had an
allowance Of s7s policemen. to which

by the local ministry. American oHl-
GERS say this increase Is in violation OF
article 1872 Of the peace treaty. which
provides that the increase IN the num-
be. Of gendarnes, employees or officials
OF the local or municipal police will be
allowed only in proportion to the IN
crease Of population since 1918 IN the
districts In which they are employed.

IMPROVE PHONE LINES.
United Telephone co. Starts Program
of Betterment.

The extensive program Of improv-
ing the United Telephone lines is
under way and will be extended over
the entire system as rapidly as the
work can be done.
The principal exchange work this
year was laying underground con
duits at Belleville, Lincoln and Nor
ton. Work at these points is COM
pleted and the underground cable
ordered but not yet received New
underground conduit is now being
laid at Salina and Ellsworth. Approx
imately twelve miles Of conduit is
being laid at Salina.
At Belleville the entire rural plant
has been rebuilt and at nearly all
other exchanges extra men have
been working, overhauling and re-
building the rural plants.
At Kanopolis underground cable
was installed, making this an all
cable plant and removing all old
open wires and poles from the
streets.
The toll line between Clay Center
and Concordia is being thoroughly
overhauled, some twenty miles being
an entirely new line and all old
poles being cut off, treated and re-
set. There is also an entire new
pole line from jamestown to Beloit
on the Concordia- Beloit line, and a
practically new line between Beloit
and Downs.
Around Belleville the toll leads to
Cuba, Hubbell, Mahaska and Court
land are being entirely rebuilt, in
Guiding many miles of new pole line.
Poles are also on the ground for re-
building the present line between
Ellsworth and Russell. Eventually
all the forty-six exchanges will have
Improvements added.
