ARMY B|DSFOR
VAST INCREASE.
100000 Men Called For In
Drive to Gain Emergency
Strength.

Under a new policy disclosed here
for the first time today, the War De-
psrtment has started a drive TO add
100. 900 men to the military establish
ment at the earliest possible moment.
This will give the army 100000 oni-
GERS and men. The Congressional ap-
preparation provides for only 10000
officers and men. The present army
strength is lss.662.
The emergency which calls for such
a vast increase In the army was not
made public, although II was admitted
by the War Department that the pro-
posed eIfiistnpents will cause dencit
OF one hundred million dollars in tho
army appropriation bill. This can be
met only when Congress reconvenes
In December, IT, indeed, a special ses-
sion is not called before that time.
Information as TO the new policy Is
given In a letter from Adjutant Gen
eral Harris, TO a member OF the House
| Appropriations Committee. In II he
| wrote:
Based upon returns and reports
from recruiting officers which had
been received up TO the 18th inst,
1.-THE enlisted strength OF the army on
that date has been estimated at 1885,
662.
Efforts will be made during the
current fiscal year TO appropriate as
nearly as possible the maximum en-
listed strength of 2s0,00 authorized
| by the act OF Congress approved June
4, 1920. 1t Is found to be impractic-
| able TO estimate what will be the
average enlisted strength during the
year.
Pay for an average of approx
mately 175,OO0 enlisted men was pro-
vided by the army appropriation act
What explanation does the War
Department give?" General Harris
was asked today.
AT the time the appropriation was
made II was not inquired that we
would be able to recruit to a strength
greater than 5000 and we now find
that we are able to exceed it," was
his reply.
"WiiI that not necessitate asking
for a dennite appropriation when
Congress reconvenes in December" he
was asked.
Undoubtedly" he admitted.
Members OF the House Appropria-
ton Committee would not agree to-
day with General Harris's explana-
troops provided for in the appropria-
tion bill.
"We appropriated for 175,O00 men
because we figured that was enough
said Representative Slemp.
In the original estimates from the
War Department an appropriation
totaling S9S2 100000 was asked for
the hscal year ending June 80, 1921.
Those estimates were predicted on
an army of $4,000 officers and men.
Congress reduced that estimate by
more than 5000, 100000.
At the same time. however, Con-
gress did authorize a military organ
ization which required a maximum Of
$50, 900 men. 1t never figured, how
ever, on maximum army The
members OF the appropriations com
mittee agreed that an army of 175,0OO
was sufficient.

Did you ever leave your home town
somewhere in America to seek your
fortune with the millions of the me-
tropolis? Them when you arrived
there. did you, have n hard time to
obtain employment of any kind and on
more than one occasion did you have
to ask your landlady to wait a few
weeks for the room rent? And did
you suffer onesomeness-the kind
that gnaws at the heart and causes in
somnia and melancholia?
If you are one of the thousands who
have had such experiences you will
doubtless find much interest in the
picture version of "39 East" the
Rachel Crothers play in which Con-
stance Bihney is appearing this week
at the Alta Theatre. Miss Crothers
has got at the heart of the experience
which an ambitious girl has upon com
ing to New York, without money and
friends seeking without success en-
ployment that is to her liking, and fin
ally having to do work which she con-
siders much beneath her. Miss Croth-
er's heroine, however. comes out Of her
experiences all the purer and stronger
.as well as wiser.
Constance Binney was ideally cast
for the heroine, Penelope Penn, be-
cause she herself won success in New
York without 'pull. and by sheer grit
and force of personality.

DlSARMA MENT

The League Of Nations may not
soon, but eventually it, will take up
the question of disarmament, and
this country will have to decide
whether it will help or hinder the
movement. Probably no step can
be taken in that direction just now.
England and France and Italy will
wait until the elements that threaen
world peace have given ground for
confidence in their: pacific DISPOSE
ton. But sooner or later the
world must face that question.
With the so called civilized peo-
pies paying out 30 per cent Of their
revenue for war cost, it ought to be
obvious that the world should dis
arm. But no one power can proceed
to cut down it's war making power,
unless all the others do so too. II
there is general DISPOSITION to
take this step, any government that
stands out against it will place a
terrible burden both on the Shout
ders Of it's own people and upon the
whole world.

TIE DILL ,llR

For the past two years people
could pick and choose the kind of
work they took up. Opportunities
were open on every hand. If they
didn't like a certain line of work.
they could find something else.
Many people refused employment on
the ground that the work was not
interesting"
The problem Of efficient produc-
ton is so to organize and subdivide
labor, that the work of the world
can be done with the least effort
To accomplish that, a task has to
be reduced to a certain routine in
which one thing is done over and
over again. That prod ices what
some people call a dull ;ob.
But people with gifts of original
ity can make it interesting, bv stu
dying how maximum production can
be obtained. Thus they IAN in
crease their own reward, and render
a high grade of service; to the COM
munity.

CFss'DREN's CHRISTMAS GIFTS

There are two types Of gifts you
can give to the youngsters. One
consists of costly contraptions of a
mechanical nature, that wind up and
go for a. few days until their fimsy
:tructure breaks down. Affairs of
his kind interest children But thew
don't teach them to do anything, and
the easy way in which they go to
pieces leads them to be careless with
their possessions.
Another kind Of gift is any simple
little toy with which they can ac-
complish something themselves
Building blocks, for instance, teach
a child to use his hands deftlv. If
taught to pick them up carefully
and not lose them, he learns a les
son of neatness. Every day the lit
tie hands manipulate any such toy,
they acquire skill for bigger tasks.
This is the kind of things you find
in abundance in the stores, Of Grand
Marais where they like to distribute
toys that make little folks make the
best of themselves.
