100000 GERMAN ARMY
MUST BE HALVED SOON
French War Minister Reports
That in Reduction of Formations
Treaty is Not Carried Out.

Paris.-According to, Andre Le-
fevre, French Minister Of War, the
German Army has been reduced to
100000 men. His figure is still a long
way short of 100000, to which, ac-
cOrding to the treaty terms and the
subsequent agreement, it must be re-
duced by July 10. The reduction has
also not included the reduction Of for
nations and NJ. Lefevre states that in
many matters the Germans are still
showing bad will.
Some conditions Of disarmament
have been carried out, but others have
been repeatedly delayed. What has
been done, Lefevre says, is this: The
Germans have suppressed all but four
Of the military schools and have re-
duced the ammunition supplies to the
required amount. They have also in
fulfillment of Article $50 of the Peace
Treaty disarmed the occupied areas
and to fifty kilometers to the east of
the Rhine.
In the work Of destroying and hand
ing over artillery the peace conditions
have not been so fully fulfilled. Seven
teen thousand five hundred cannon,
10000 machine guns and 1OS,O00 small
arms have been handed over to the
Allies and the Germans claim to have
destroyed 10000 cannon, 4.2O0 machine
guns and $4,000 small arms. But NJ.
Lefevre states that there is no doubt
that large quantities of arms still re-
main hidden in the country.
1t is in the non-eXecution Of Article
oil, which demands the modification Of
German military laws in, conformity
with the treaty terms, that the French
see German bad will and bad faith.
These laws have been in no way modi-
fed, and before the Spa meeting the
French are seeking to obtain a united
front on the part of the Allies for the
demand that this important clause
shall be fulfilled.

US. TO INDICT
COAL GOUCERS
Palmer Orders Federal Attorneys
to Act Against Many Bitur
minouS Operators.

Washington. - Attorney General
Palmer has ordered a sweeping cru
sade looking to the trial and convic-
ton of bituminous operators who have
used the excuse Of car shortage and
export demand to boost prices and take
unreasonable profits. Instructions were
sent to every United States attorney
in the country to obtain the indictment
of any operator or dealer where inveS-
tigation shows unreasonable profits.
The Department of Justice has re-
ceived many complaints that the prices
of bituminous coal at the mines ranged
from 81 to $11 a ton, with further
increase imminent Writers of the let
ters say the operators are attributing
the advance prices to car shortage and
export demand, emphasis being placed
upon the latter.
Governors of the New England states
were in conference with members of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Shipping Board on the New
England coal situation. They declared
industries were on the verge of closing
down, with little prospect Of getting in
next winters supply. They ask that
New England coal be shipped by boat
from Norfolk and the Shipping Board
was asked for vessels.
"Production cost figures gathered by
the Federal Trade Commission from
1859 bituminous coal operators in the
principal production regions, mining
roughly about 60 per cent of the an
nual output, show that during Janu-
ary, 1920, their costs averaged $2.32
ton at the mines. Since then there has
been an increase of 27 per cent in the
cost of labor, enhancing the production
cost to $2.79 a ton. The accuracy Of
these figures is borne out by informa-
tion in letters coming to the depart
ment from purchasers of coal, from
which it appears that prices in May
did not greatly exceed those furnished
to the Federal Trade Commission for
January.
"This situation demands the prompt
attention of all United States attor-
neys Please give special attention to
the matter and seek indictments where
investigation discloses that an unrea-
sonable profit has been taken, advising
the department of the action taken"

CAPI 7 Al
$2,1e5 For Land Sought At 81, 900.

Annapolis
An effort was made last winter to
have the General Assembly authorize
the sale of some House of Correction
land to w. Fleming Lankford, son of
the warden of the institution, for
$1,000. The effort failed, but bill was
passed authorizing the Board of Prison
Control to sell the tract at auction.
This sale was held at Waterloo Sta
tion, on the property, and it brought
$2,195 net to the State, the purchaser
to pay all expenses of the sale. 1t was
knocked down to Samuel Leibowitz.
but, according to Secretary Robert D.
Case, of the Prison Board, Mr.. Leibo
WITT was acting for the younger Lank-
ford.
The land is piece of the Gardner
tract, consisting of about 81 acres, ~
ing along the Baltimore and Washing
ton Boulevard, and has four-room
house on it. The Gardner tract of 80
odd acres was bought for the House Of
Correction during the war. An effort
was made last fall to have the Board
Of Prison Control agree to sell the
corner of it lying across and along
the boulevard to Mr.. Lankford.
Frank Metzerott, member Of the
board, objected and there was dead
lock, because Charles T. Crane was too
i'll to attend the meetings. Finally
o1 OF ho
death4bed of Mr.. Crane, and there the
sale was authorized by vote of two
to one.
It was decided, however, that the
assent of the General Assembly was
necessary and a bill to confirm the
sale to Lankford was introduced by
State Senator Wolfe and reported fav-
orably from the Finance Committee.
When the report was made Senator
Oliver Metzerott stated that he saw
no reason why the sale should be
made, unless the whole Gardner tract
was sold, and that in any case the
price was too small.
He offered TO give the State $4,000
for the land, with the idea that he
could resell it for $500 to $1,000 profit.
Chairman Mcintosh, of the Finance
Committee, thereupon asked that the
bill be recommitted for amendment.
The amended bill, which merely au-
thorized the Prison Board to sell the
land at auction to the highest bidder
was passed.

ashington.-Detroit, with a numer-

er than Chicago's and second only to
New YOrk's during the last ten years,
is now the fourth largest city of the
country, displacing st. Louis and out
ranking Boston, Cleveland, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh, all of which were larg-

cent
Detroit is the only city of 100000 or
more which has more than doubled its
population in the last ten years.
Cleveland, also with large increase,
has outstripped st. Louis and Boston
and takes rank as fifth largest city of
the United States. The Ohio city had
the fifth largest numerical increase Of
any municipality in the country during
the last ten years, its increase having
been exceeded only by New York, Chi
cago, Detroit and Los Angeles. Cleve-
lands population exceeds that Of St.
Louis by $4,000 and that of Boston by
almost 0,000, it's total being 796,S36, an
increase of 236,173, or 42.1 per cent
over 1910.

tions of Cleveland and Detroit the
largest cities has been established
New York and Chicago remain first and
second largest cities, respectively.
Philadelphia is the only one of the Is
whose 1920 population has not been
announced, but it is not likely that the
Pennsylvania city's rank as third larg-
est in the country will be changed. De
troit had jumped into fourth place and
Cleveland into fifth position, forcing
st. Louis into sixth, Boston into sew
enth, Baltimore into eighth and Pitts
burgh into ninth places.
Los Angeles, with a largest rate of
growth, advanced from seventeenth
rank to tenth and displaced Buffalo as
we'll as attaining the honor of being
the largest city west of ST. Louis. San
Francisco retained eleventh rank and
Buffalo dropped from tenth to twelfth,
while Milwaukee was forced into thir-
teenth place.
Washington, D. c., moved from six
teenth to fourteenth position, displac-
ing Newark, N. j., which dropped into
fifteenth position. Cincinnati, thir-
teenth largest city in 1910, now ranks
as sixteenth.
New Orleans, through the advance
Of Los Angeles and Washington, was
forced from the fifteenth rank to sew
enteenth position, while Minneapolis
retained it's rank as eighteenth largest
city.
The ranking Of the cities below Min
neapolis cannot be determined until
the populations of Kansas City, Mo. !;
Providence, R. l., and Rochester, N.
