WASHINGTON, June 6. tUP)-
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief OF
staff, said today that an increase
in the regular army to $4,000 en-
listed men probably would eliminate
any necessity for calling out the
Qational guard if an emergency
arose in this hemisphere.
z The army now has an authoriz-
ed top strength of 100000 men,
Chairman Andrew May of the house
military affairs committee indicated
earlier in the day that the group
might soon consider an increase
to $4,000.
Marshall said a 1886 ,000-man regu-
lar army would provide total OF
nine streamlined infantry divisions,
one cavalry division, one fully me-
chanized division and one partially
mechanized division as we'll as addi-
tional heavy artillery, anti-aircraft.

Berlin Americans
Follow Election
Results AvidIy
Wendell Wilkes Sister
Among 500 Listening In
On U. S. Broudcnsts
By DAVID M. NICHOL,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Nov 6.-Few persons
anywhere followed the returns OF
yesterdays election in the United
States with more genuine and in
tense interest than the handful OF
Americans who remain in Berlin.
Altogether, there are only about
500 of them, most connected with
the American Embassy or Consulate
or with American newspapers and
having access, as result, to foreign
broadcastS. Many stayed up ali
night or to about m today, when
the first actual counts began to ar
rive.
BY noon, yesterday, most of them
had heard of the New Hampshire
village (Sharon) that returned "a
for Wendell L. Willkie and 7 for
President Roosevelt. A fortunate
few had a direct broadcast from
America about dinner time last
night as President Roosevelt cast
his ballot. They were little diSap-
pointed that he said nothing.
Americans had a variety of reas-
onS for their interest. In the first
place. any event or activity that
served to connect them with their
country is taken to heart avidly
and eagerly. 1t is impossible, with
out experiencing it, to understand
their feeling of isolation.
In the second place, the future
course of the United States IS a
very real concern TO them. Some
British officials of legation stats
in some of the occupied territories
are still under detention in Ger
many. and the Dutch journalists
were locked up for the duration of
the brief war with Holland.
Some here have even more per-
sonal interest. Mrs. Charlotte Phil,
for example, is Wendell Wilkes
sister She is the wife of 1t. Comdr.
Paul E. Phil, assistant naval attache
at the Embassy.
Those who experienced Americas
1882 and 1886 elections here say that
this one was watched even more
closely. For two weeks or more, 1t
has been the principal topic of con-
versation, not only among the Amer
leans themselves, but with their
German friends and acquaintance
whose private interest has been con-
siderable in spite of the official aloof-
ness.
Today's German newspapers devote
considerable space to objective &C
counts of election day activities, al
though almost no returns were avail
able at the time of their publication
Official comment, in any event, will
probably be limited and reserved for
tonight's or tomorrow's editions

General Mortality
For D. {. at New Low,
DR.. Rutland Reports
Capital Now Is Twelfth
In National Scale,
Howard Seminar Told

Citing recent progress in public
health activities here, DR.. George
C. Rutland, District health officer,
reported at a seminar for graduate
physicians at Howard University
yesterday that the general mortality
for the city has reached a new low.
DR.. Rutland told the physicians
at a round table luncheon session
that Washington now ranked 18th
in the national health scale. The
death sate for pneumonia, he said,
which was 139 per 100000 popula-
ton in 1886, is now reduced to half
that figure, and other diseases such
as diphtheria. typhoid and tubercu-
losiS also show lower rate.
Pointing out that the tuberculosis
mortality is now at its lowest point,
SO per 100000, Dr. Rutland urged
that more emphasis be placed on
case-fnding, and added that tuber-
culosis cannot be successfully
handled if patients are allowed to
remain at home.
DR.. G. Howard Marcy, chairman Of
the Negro Committee Of the National
tuberculosis Association of New
York, who presided, reported meth
DDS of case-finding and treatment
now are more direct and systematic
than ever, and noted that by the end
of this year Is per cent of all colored
physicians will have had post
graduate training in the care of
tuberculosis.
Other speakers taking part in the
discussion were Mrs. Ernest r
Grant, managing director of the
local tuberculosis Association; Ray
Everett, executive secretary of the
Social Hygiene Society: william B
Matthews. representative Of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
and DR.. Ella Oppenheimer, head of
the District Bureau Of Maternal and
Child Health.
AT the morning session DR.. w
Roderick Brown lectured on Mod
ern Aspects of Early Diagnosis in
Pulmonary Tuberculosis" and Dr.
Edward w. Beasley spoke on Pre-
ventive Treatments in Childhood u
At the afternoon session DR.. C. Leon
Wilson spoke on Bleeding in Preg-
nancy" and DR.. T K. LaWlesS dis
cussed the use of drugs in the treat
ment of syphilis.

Brokers Hope Election
Decision Will End
Uncertain Period
BY PAUL ID. GESNER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

NEW YORK, Nov. Son the
argument the presidential election
at least would settle the question
of the peoples choice for national
leader, many brokers have nour-
ished hopes for more active specu-
lative markets in the final phase
of 1910.
Just how effective the presiden-
tial campaign was in discouraging
trading in recent weeks had the
experts puzzled. Some counted the
battle of Britain. for instance, a
more influential factor in making
the markets stay close to shore than
the struggle for political power at
home.
Nevertheless, elections tradition
ally have been rated one of those
"uncertainties" the market letter
writer's discuss. With various straw
polls indicating the closest presi-
Dental race. in many years, the
indecision over election results
seemed to have been more wide
spread than usual in market cir
cles the last two months.
Smallest Since 1918.
At any rate, the prediction
period was one Of the quietest vet
eran stock exchange traders have
seen before a major political con-
test. Dealings this year have beer
the smallest since 1918. 1t will
take a large increase in share
trading between now and the year
end to match even 1889, which
itself was a slow year on the whole
Throughout the political cam
paign, stock prices stayed in a
rather narrow zone, with numerous
individual issues breaking out into
a moderate uptrend.
But there was no question which
way business was headed. Driven
by increasing United States defense
spending and inventory accumula-
ton for private account, production
indices climbed from June through
October to the highest figures in
more than a decade.
Rarely had the financial district
witnessed such vivid contrast be-
tween a rising business curve ana a
stagnant stock market. Among the
concrete factors, the main obstacle
to speculation for the rise in stocks
appeared to have been the boost II
