Mrs. Mandy was my chaperon but
she developed a wretched toothache
after m night in the damp bedroom
Of the country hotel. There wasn't
a dentist in the place whom she
could trust, so she went TO bed to
stay until the ache should stop. or
the company should return to town.
I didn't want Cissy near me after
the dare which 1 had thwarted
with a threat to whistle for help.
Dick didn't care - come near me,
unless we were in the crowd. And
so l was truly glad to have Hutche-
son Coleridge the role of
cavalier.
Coleridge was so safe. He was a
married mar and the father of two
beautiful baby girls. We often used
them on a set and he was awfully
proud of them. I had supposed that
he was just as proud of his wife, for
she was a charming little thing, and
wholly devoted to him, and her
home and family. Raising babies
was a profession, she told Mother
dear. and ms which tied her up as
closely as acting tied her husband.

Brownies put blankets and warm
comics over them while they're
snoozing away in their holes. Mr..
Ground Hog hasn't the least idea of
it, of course; thinks he's fattened
up on corn and has grown enough
fuzzy wool all over him to keep him
warm all winter, but-he couldn't
keep warm enough IN nights when
the thermometer is 40 degrees be-
low Zero, if my Brownies didn't
tuck him in and round about with
their nice little blankets. They are
storing away a lot of new blankets
in underground cupboards now.
That is what they are carrying
every size, from those for wee Mr..
Meadow Mouse to the big ones for
the bears"
The Twins thought it very inter-
esting. They had never known be-
fore how very useful Brownies
were.

The Busy Brownies.

PIN PIN led Nancy and Nick
trough the glittering, shining
',lambers of the Land of Under-
meath, explaining things to them as
they went. There was a queer lit
tie doorway through which Brown
les were passing and carrying great
sacks on their little bent shoulders.
PIN PIN said that was the under-
ground way to all the gardens in
the world, and that the Brownies
were packing the roots of the rose
bushes with warm moss to keep
them from freezing through the
winter.
Then they went on a distance
further, looking this way and that
at all the wonderful things they
saw. The Twins had never seen SO
many glow worms or fire flies or
glimmering beetles in their lives.

Europe Still an Armed Camp

TINE war that was to end all wars and
i the peace that was to bring a new order
in the world have left Europe what it has
been thru the centuries--an armed camp
with nearly 100000 youths taken out of
industry.
The main difference is that the predomi-
nant military power today is France instead
of Germany.
In recent discussion of the army bill in
the French senate, it was stated that the
number of men under the coors was $780,
600, divided as follows: Frenchmen, 572,-
600; natives of North Africa, 1000; for
eigners and natives Of other colonies, 1867
600.
To show what CONSUMPTION in peace time
means for France: On April 5, last, 100000
young men passed thru the Paris railway
stations to report to the colors at garrisons
in east France, Alsace and Lorraine. Thirty
thousand of these were from Paris alone.
The number of troops Germany has is a
rraArfer of keen dispute. Under the Ver-
sailes treaty, she is not to have more than
100000 men and officers in her army. But
there still are various other organizations
which the Germans say are merely police
and security forces to preserve the republic
from bolshevism and monarchists, but which
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1921-06-07

the French say are mere camouflage for
armies-in-being.
The British army for the current year Is
3d1 900 ms against $4,000 last year. Omit
ting about $4,000 temporarily on the lists,
the real strength of the army this year VIII
be about 2S5,000. OF these, POI, l27 are
British and $4,000 are colonial and native
Indian troops.
Hungary is limited to a small army by the
peace treaty. But her strength Is estimated
from 100000 to $50 900 troops, with France
benevolently looking on.
Bulgaria, by the treaty of Neuilly, is to
have only 10000 troops. She has, in reality,
$4,000. Greece, engaged in active warfare
with the Kemalist Turks, has 100000 under
arms. Poland has about 100000 under arms
and Bolshevik Russia is thought to have the
same in her soviet armies.
The other figures, as official as they can
be secured, are: Austria, 10000; Belgium,
10000; Czecho-Sovakia, 147,300; Den
mark, 15,400; Finland, $4,000; Italy, 3OO,-
600; Holland, 81 400; Norway. 15,400; Port
ugal, 10000; Rumania, 100000; Spain, 1907
tbs; Sweden, $4,000; Switzerland, $4,000
Jugo-Slavia, 100000; Esthonia, 10000; Tur-
key, $4,000.
The war is over--but democracy cannot
lay claim to victory in what is fought for,
until the world disarms.
