Close to 100000 men are under

BOY DARINGLY HOLDS UP
JEWELRY STORE OWNER
Demands Money and Diamonds
at Point of Pistol-Foiled
in Attempt.

Quick thinking and presence of
mind Of Harry Krick, proprietor of
a jewellery store at 3053- M street
baffled a robber about 1885 today,
when he knocked revolver from the
hand Of an eighteen-year-o boy
who was demanding his money and
diamonds"
The young man. clad in a chinchilla
blue overcoat, rushed out of the shop
and down Jefferson street toward the
water front. A crowd pursued him,
but he disappeared at the foot of
the street.
According to Krick, the boy en-
tered the store and asked for details
on cutting down ring.
Come over here and let me see
it," said Krick behind the counter.
The boy came over. He produced
q revolver. leveled it at the pro-
prietor and said:
Let me have your money and dia-
monds, now. quick"
Krick grabbed his wrist, twisted
1t, and the would-be robber fed.

Switserlnnd's High Ratio.

Switzerland, which nominally has
one soldier out Of every 22.S inhabi-
tants under arms, gets its high rat
ing on account of the militia system
of the country, where each man of
military age is required to do certain
military duty for few weeks of the
year. The figures for Russia include
Ukraine. Caucasus and the far east
ern (Chita) republic. .
Germany, Austria and Bulgaria are
restricted in their mobilized forces
by the Versailles treaty. They have
the volunteer system, Austria and
Bulgaria being below their allowed
strength. Persia also has q valunteer
system. while Holland has a combina-
tion of militia and conscription. All
the others follow conscription so that
the size of their armies is fixed at
what the governments desire. The
figures for Turkey include the nation
alist party only. the totals for that
country and Greece being due to their
present troubles.

PRESIDENT TAKES
Up PDEBS' FREEDOM

President Harding is considering
extending amnesty to the 40 or more
so-called political prisoners, includ-
ing Eugene v. Debs. the socialist
leader. who are serving terms in the
several federal penitentiaries.
This fact became known today fol-
lowing the cabinet meeting at the
White House, at which the question
of amnesty was thoroughly discussed
by the President and his advisers. 1t
was made known that while the cabi-
net has no authority in the matter,
the executive exercises the right to
obtain their opinions regarding the
practicability of this proposed step.
Cases Being Reviewed.
The Department of Justice. in the
meantime, is preparing digest in
the form of a review of each one of
the cases involved, and it is the opin-
ion of those who know that the Pres
ident will consider each case sepa-
rately upon its individual merits If
also is considered likely that the Debs
case will be treated entirely apart
from the others. While the other
cases are being considered individ-
ually, it is understood that the Pres
ldent Will treat tneIn rs WnOle, out
in announcing the amnesty he will
not do SO in one sweeping procla-
nation.
1t is understood that the President
also will consider at the same time
amnesty for the many military offend
ers-t those in the service who are
serving sentences for violation of
military technicalities following the
armistice.
Other Matters Considered.
The cabinet discussed also various
departmental matters. and the various
members present gave the President
some idea OF the principal features
that will be contained in their annual
report, which soon will be forthcom-

He Never Forgets Old
Friends OF The Circus

Eddie Polo never forgets his old
friends of the circus. Many of them
find their way out to Universal City
during the year, make themselves
known to the former favorite of the
big tops, and they are invariably
aided if they require help, or given
some sort of work in the movies,
where their skill or athletic Prov
ess may be utilized.
But of all his former circus
friends, he prizes none more high
ly than Eddie Silbon, who was his
casting partner in the last flying
trapeze act he performed with the
Barnum and Bailey circus. The two
Eddies are inseparable.' Silbon never
has regular part in any of the film
stories in which Polo appears, but
he is always on the job. Where
ever there is a hazardous stunt to
be performed in which Polo requires
the assistance of some one in whom
he can place absolute dependence,
Silbon is that man. The two have
saved each others lives and limbs
on numerous occasions.
Just recently, during the filming
Of "King of the Circus" a steel ca
BILE on which Eddie Polo crossed the
street, hand over hand, twelve sto-
ries above the pavement, became
mixed up with an electric wire,
burning Polo's hands. 1t seemed as
if Eddie would drop to the ground.
But Silbon swung himself out on the
same wire, and, grasping the cable
with one hand, assisted Polo with
the other in reaching the ledge of
the office building, where outstretch-
hands drew them both to safety.
The stunt is clearly shown, as
are hundreds of others in the vari-
Gus episodes of King of the Cir.
Gus" to appear every Friday at the
RYlander, beginning this week.
