GERMANY KICKS
ABOUT ARMIES
Claims Nearly Million More
Men Armed Now than at
Verge Of World War.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-(By the
Associated Press. German laid be-
fore the Genoa Conference figures
showing that there are today under
arms in Europe NEARLY million more
soldiers than there were when 1t was
on the verge of the World War in
1913. According to the German state
ment. which has just reached Wash
ington, there are now in Europe a
grand total of 4,736.000 men under
arms compared with 3,726641 in tho
year 1913.
While the mighty German army
OF 760, 900 men of 1913 shrunk to the
100 900 soldiers allowed by the Yer
sailles Treaty, the French army,
which in that year numbered $4,000,
this year stands at $4,000. Greece's
army has increased from 10000 TO
300 900 and Belgiumis from 54.64l
to 113,40O, the statement shows Rus
siia's vast army. which in 1913 num-
ter'ed 1876 900, now is rated at
/ 600 900 mon. England shows a
slight increase from 24S,000 to 277,000
while Italy reduced her forces from
275 900 to $4,000.
New armies appear in the German
statement. Poland. for instance, an
unknown power in 1913. is now ap-
pearing with an army of 100000 men.
Then there is Esthonta with $4,000,
Finland with $4,000. Lc'tonil with
n
25 900. Litlliania with $4,000 and
Cgecho Slovakia with 250, 900, all I'M
known as military forces before the
World War
F1'nasly it was shown to the Genoa
Conference thelt while in the year
1913 the German army comprised 20
per cent of the total armies Of Eu-
nope compared with % 10 per cent
for France. at present the German
percerfage Is but 2 against 1872 per
cent for France.

HUSTON CONFERS
With BUSINESS
men OF JUNEAU
Discusses Local Problems
with Them and Gov. Bone
at Meeting Today.
UPBUILDING OF ALASKA
AIM OF ADMINISTRATION
Interest of President and Of.
6cials Is Deep and
Practical, Asserts.

The Administration from Presi-
dent Harding down is sincerely and
practically interested in Alaska and
If it can increase the Territory s
popul alton and revive and add to
its industries, it will consider such
a result one of its big, positive
achievements" declared Assistant
Huston at the conclusion today of a
conference with Gov. Scott c. Bone,
Secretary Karl Thiele and represen-
tatives of the Juneau Commercial
Association. The meeting was held
aboard the Mojave this morning
lasting from 8 o'clock until just
before the departure of the boat at
II O'Clock for Cordova.
Several Matters Discussed.
The Secretary discussed several
meters with the local business men,
the talk being devoted primarily to
ouch questions as the Department OF
Commerce is interested in, one or
two other subjects being considered.
The first matter to be handled was
the proposal of the Ketchikan Com
mercial Association relative to i'm
posing "a tariff on fresh fish reach
ing the United States through for
eign ports and requiring shipments
from Alaskan ports to be made in
bond The endorsement of the local
club to the proposition was ex-
planned to the Secretary who said
that he had Investigated the matter
kan. His recommendation in the
matter will be made without delay
to Secretary Hoover and he inti-
mated that it was probable that fav-
orable action might be expected.
Discuss Fisheries Legislation.
The question of legislation needed
for the protection and preservation
of Alaskan salmon fisheries was also
taken up. Mr. Huston was told that
the local Commercial Association
had formally opposed the attempt
to legislate against traps or any
other particular fishing gear and
had suggested legislation giving the
Department Of Commerce absolute
jurisdiction ever the fisheries with
power to make any regulations 1t
might consider necessary to meet
the situation.
Mr. Huston said there was little
likelihood of any fisheries legisla-
tion passing during the present ses-
SIGN of Congress. He expressed
confidence that the Department
would be able to handle the fish
