ARMIES OF EUROPE
INCREASED MILLION
SINCE 1914, CLAIM
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Germany
laid before the Genoa Conference fig
ures showing that there are today
under arms in Europe nearly a mil
lion more soldiers than there were
when it was on the verge of the World
war in 1918. According to the Ger
man statement which has just reached
Washington there are now in Europe
grand total of 4,736,000 men under
arms compared with 3,726,641 in the
year 1913.
While the mighty German army of
100000 men of 1913 shrunk to the 100.-
600 soldiers allowed by the Versailles
Treaty, the French army which in
that year numbered $4,000, this year
stands at $4,000. Greeces army has
increased from 10000 to 100000 and
Belgium's from 54,641 to 113,40O, the
statement shows. Russia's vast army,
which in 1913 numbered 1,s45,000 now
is rated at 100000 men, England
shows a slight increase from 248,0oO
to 277,000, while Italy reduced her
forces from 275,000 to 246,000.
New armies appear in the German
statement Poland, for instance, an
unknown power in 1913, is now ap-
pearing with an army of 10000 men.
I Then there is Esthonia with $4,000
Finland with $4,000 Lettonia with
$4,000, Lithuania with $4,000 and
Czecho Slovaha with 100000, all IN
known as military forces before the
/ World war.
| Finally it was shown to the Genoa
! Conference that while in the year
| 1913 the German army comprised &c
] per cent of the total armies of Europe
compared with % Is per cent for
| France, at present the German per
centage is but against 1872 per cent
| for France.

CRIME DIMINISHING
IN RURAL DISTRICTS
OF new YORK STATE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 23.-After
five years of work on the part Of the
New York state police, records of the
New York secretary of state indicate
that crime has diminished in the ru-
raj districts of New York state more
than one third Lieut. A. B. Moore
of the New York State Police told the
convention of the Illinois Bankers
association here today. He added that
the state police has made approx
mately one third of the arrests made
in the state with the exception OF
The force, according to Lieut. Moore
has total complement of 1885, The
| lieutenant reported the percentage OF
conviction to arrests by troopers as
| approximately ninety-two.
1T is a noteworthy fact" said
Lieut. Moore, that New York is one,
of the largest industrial centers IN
| the United States, and that during
| the last five years when industrial
| troubles have been at their heights
there has been no cause to call upon
either the federal troops or the ma
tional guardsmen to handle the stu
alton. Our policy in industrial dis
putes is to enforce the law as 1t is
written without fear and without ia
vor We do NOT stop strikes nor
in any way enter into their eontro-
versy
"Tramps have been practically
eliminated from the rural districts.
''The problem of smuggling liquor
along the Canadian border has been
carefully gone into and investigation
shows that whatever liquor comes
from that direction is evidently 60
ing via some other route than our
highways.
In New York state we have been
troubled very little with the so-called
bank bandit or bank burglar, there
having been in the last year and n
half only two cases reported to this
department wherein an attempt was
made to hold up or burglarize bank.
THE force has been maintained al
a cost of little more than 81 a day
per man.

HANDLING
OF SUGAR IS NEARING
HAWAIIAN STANDARD
tBy Associated Press)

MANILA, P. l., June 23-Efficiency
of the sugar centrals in the Philippine
Islands is approaching the Hawaiian
standard. according to records in the
office of the Philippine Sugar Cen
trails agency on the six centrals con-
trolled by the Philippine National
bank in the Island of Negros.
E. w. Kopke, supervising chemist
of the agency, who has returned 10
Manila from four months stay in Ne
gros, where the banks centrals are
located said:
1.-The average number Of tons Of cane
per ton of sugar at the banks six
centrals is 8:53, compared with the
average of 1851 for Hawaii in 1921.
The average factory efficiency for five
of these centrals for the season is
91S This is a very favorable record
when all the conditions are considered
Our milling results are somewhat be
low those in Hawaii, but the boiling.
house recovery compares favorably
with results in Hawaii. The degree OF
exhaustion of final molasses IS 38.5
for Hawaii and our mills are on a PAL
with this record.
There is less ash in Philippine cane
juices and sugar than there is IN
those of Hawaii, which gives our sugar
better refining characteristics. Ha
waiian cane averages eighteen pei
cent more fiber per ton of cane than
our cane, but practically all our cen
trails have been able to get along with
out additional fuel.
"The planters are cooperating with
US heartily in every way which is es
pecially important in its bearing on
future production and increased pro
duction per acre under cultivation
Twenty-Five experimental fields are
now under the supervision of the bu
| reau of science where problems of fer
tilizing, ETC., are being solved.

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, June ga COM
promise plan by which the United
States would arbitrate the difficulties
arising from unfulfillment of the Tao
na-Arica clause OF the treaty of Ancon
appeared today to be gaining favor
among both Chilean and Peruvian rep
resentatives in the Washington confer
ence.
| On the side of Chile there were in
dications that the plan already had re-
ceived informal approval among some
high officials, although the final de-
cision regarding it must await a more
| formal stage of the negotiations.
The Peruvians still were without
! decisive instructions from Lima but
they appeared generally optimistic
over the prospect. 1t was said they
might be in a position to take more
| definite steps before the day was
over After the receipt of instructions
authorizing him to act for his govern
ment in accepting such solution as
would provide for just settlement of
| the question, Chilean Ambassador
Matthew took steps to confer with Sec
rotary Hughes at the state department
during the day, presumably to advise
him of the stand of the Santiago Off
Gals and to receive any further sug-
gestions the secretary might have to
make.
Maintains Silence
Meantime the department itself
maintained It's silence over the situa
ton, officials even declining to &C
cept any sponsorship for the compro
mise plan evolved after Mr.. Hughes
had talked with both sides In other
quarters it was explained that the sec
rotary had not formulated the com
promise plan in definite terms, al
though those who conferred with him
him had come away with clear idea
Of what solution he thought might be
found acceptable to both sides.
1t was indicated as the intention tc
keep the negotiations In this infor
NAL and unofficial stage until both the
Chileans and the Peruvians had shown
their readiness to accept the compro
mise solution put forward. This hav
ing been accomplished the secretar.
is expected in Chilean and Peruvian
quarters to exercise his good offices il
: a more direct manner, putting bis sue
gested solution into writing and re
ceiving the informal acquiescence o
both sides
How long this process will requir
is uncertain, but some conference off
Gals believe the whole negotiation
. may be concluded before the end o

Chilean-Peruvian conference may b
4 held on Monday or Tuesday to receiv
