iARIVIY TOO SMALL FOR COUNTRY SAYS GERMAN OFFICER With Worthy Troops United States Could Enforce Mexican Demands.

COUNTRY HAS SPIRIT 'Force Could Be Increased Without Feeling the Expense At All. BY STEVEN BURNETT. BERLIN, Sept. 27. A high German officer who visited the United States during the Spanish American war and t the same time spent several days at Camp Thomas in Chickamauga park while about 40,000 troops of the

American National Guards were encamped there, the other day expressed his views on the American-Mexican imbroglio to me. They were not without interest to my American readers, I think although they may not agree with him. "You would have no trouble in making Mexico give in immediately to your demands," he 6aid, "if you had possessed a regular army worthy the size and importance of your great country, but General Uuerta knew that you were not prepared to back up your demands with bayonets and that it would be too great a risk for you to try to coerce Mexico by force of arms." Army Too Small. "I must say," he added, "that it has always been a puzzle to me why you have not increased the strength of your regular army. You have the money to do so without feeling the expense at all, you have no anti-militarists as we have here in Germany, nay, on the contrary, your people are pervaded by a stronger spirit of patriotism than I have seen in this country outside of Japan, and still you are satisfied with maintaining an army which is a mere handful of men which would not be able to defend you in case, say of Japan trying to attack you before the opening of the Panama Canal. "You may say that you have your National Guard, but without wanting to hurt the feelings of that patriotic and enthusiastic body of men that 1

saw at Camp Thomas during the Spanish war, I cannot help saying that two or three regiments of Japs would be able to beat them in no time simply because they lacked discipline and training. Let me say this," he concluded, "that nowhere have I seen such splendid crude material for an invincible army, but believe me when I say that military training stands for something. To attempt to oppose a

j modern trained and modernly armd enemy with your National Guardsmen would be nothing less than criminal. Kaiser Peeved. The Kaiser's ill humor continues as might quite naturally be expected after his experiences on his recent trip into Prussian Poland, where he was received like a hated oppressor and where the people locked themselves up in their houses to avoid greeting him in the street and decorated their windows with portraits of the great Napoleon, the conqueror of Prussia. The Kaiser has had other disappointments too. Political reaon hve forced him to give up his annual trip to Corfu where he is very fond oi spending a few weeks in perfect peace among the idyllic surroundings of Achilleion and he was particularly anxious to go there this year to meet his brother-in-law, ing Constantine of Greece, who had won his admiration by his splendid generalship anil daring deeds of arms during the Balkan war. The Austrian and Italian press, however, have accused the Kaiser of put

ting his own personal feelings ahead of the interests of his allies at the tune of the peace conference at Bucharest, and as these same papers would undoubtedly declare that a trip to Corfu had political significance and as it would have made a visit to Athens almost inevitable, the Kaiser gave up his plan, without, however, pre-

j tending for a single moment that he j enjoyed making this sacrifice on the i altar of the triple alliance. He has, ' however, invited King Constantine j and Queen Sofie to visit him here, and the invitation has been accepted, though from diplomatical reasons the ! royal couple will not arrive here unI til they have first visited Paris, Lon don and Vienna, but they will set out for this round of visits as soon as political conditions will permit the king s absence from home. Russians Polite. The Russian police certainly have never won a reputation "for their politeness, but that they are nevertheless occasionally inclined to render due tribute to feminine beauty is shown by , the following description supplied to the German police by the Russian police authorities who are eager to capture a lady who ran away from her husband with a lover after tirst robbing him of everything, 6he was able to lay her hands on. The fugitive is officially described thus: She is about 40 years old, of medium height, most charming appearance, a very small mouth with rosy lips and

early teeth, a pert little nose, in one word she is a peach." From Charkow. in Russia, comes the report that a sudden inspection of the police there, ordered by the Czar personally, it was revealed that a number of police officials owned two

disorderly houses into which they had enticed girls of good families and held them prisoners there by force. In one of these houses were found two young girls, still in their teens, daughters of the millionaire merchant Asraksinow, who were arrested two weeks ago as suspected of political offenses. They had been brutally beaten until they gave in to the demands of the officials. Buried in the yard of the house were found the horribly mutilated bodies of three other young girls. The chief of police Barbaschow has fled, but a number of his accomplices have been arrested. They declare they were only tools in his hands.
