ANSWER QUICKLY
Otherwise Might as Well End
Conference, They Are Told.
START At ONCE TO EVAOE
Argue That to Reduce Their Army
Below 100000 Would be Unsafe.
Armed Bands PiIIaging Country.

Spa, Belgium, July THE question
of execution of the military, naval and
aerial clauses of the Versailles treaty
was taken up Immediately after the
formal meeting of the allied premierS
with the representatives of Germany.
The German minister of defense,
Herr GeSSler, explained the German
situation in support of the contention
of the German government that ii
must have an armed force of 100000
men TO maintain order in the repub
lie He said there was little differ
ence whether the force was labeled
army or police, provided the men We're
under control of the central govern
ment.
Herr Gessler ins-.xcd that the allied
play for 10000 poll :, broken up into
small bodies under focal control and
without coordination was insufficient
to deal with the present situation in
Germany, which. he said, resembled
somewhat that existing after the
thirty years war. Armed bands III
various parts of the country were pill
Laying and killing, They were armed
not only with ordinary weapons, but
with machine guns, which they knew
how to use.
These bands, continued the minis
ter, were so formidable that they
could be dealt with only by consider
able forces that could make combin-
ed movement against them. Only last
week band of fifty or sixty issued
from the Pomeranian forest, raiding
the surrounding country and villages.
A smaller force of police met the
band, but was defeated.
Herr Gessler said these gangs of
bandits are centrally organized and
directed, they are financed by the
Bolsheviki, and if Germany were to
muster out of her army 100000 men,
it was possible that many of them
would enter the pay of the Bolshevlk1.
"How can you feel that centrally
organized bands can be dealt with by
a police force that is not centrally
organized and directed?" he asked.
at takes England 100000 men TO hold
Ireland"
After Herr Gessler, DR.. Simons, the
foreign minister, added some remarks
on the difficulties which might result
from the PERCEPTIONS rehabilitation OF
a large number of men from the eco
nomic viewpoint.
NJ. Delocroix, the Belgian premier,
and Premier Lloyd George insisted
upon the necessity of the Germans
fixing an early and precise date for
the execution of the treaty.
Lloyd George even suggested that In
the absence of a precise statement
from the Germans it might be prefer
able to close the conference.
Finally, it was decided after an ex-
PLANTATION by Chancellor Fehrenbach,
who assured the conference OF the pa
cific intentions of the German people,
to adjourn until four o'clock in the
afternoon to hear the precise reply
from the Germans.

What the Hair Denotes.

A long and peaceful life is promised
the owner of hair that grows low on
the forehead and retreats up the
head above the temples.
Coarse hair indicates humble birth
and coarse nature. Black, short, and
curly hair indicates uncertain temper,
a tendency to alcohol, and an amor
Gus nature.
The darker the hair the more pow
erful the physical organization. Chest
nut or brown hair denotes fairness in
dealings, generosity, absence of de
ceit, but unhappiness in domestic life.
Thick, straight and glossy brown hair
indicates a robust constitution, en-
ergy, and eagerness in the pursuit of
life; thick, coarse, and wiry brown
hair, great determination of charac-
ter; curly brown hair, a weak charac-
ter, but natural ingenuity and ability:
while dark brown long and smooth
hair indicates faithfulness in love,
