i WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. A regular army of 253,500, a reserve of regulars

totalling 379,000 in eight years, and a

-Continental army of 500,000 civilian

volunteers to be raised in three years,

"constitute the salient features of a

Military policy for the -United States

formulated by, the war college division

lof the army general staff 'and made Kpublic by Secretary Garrison today.

This army would cost Uncle Sam $500,000,000 the first year, or an

amount .equal to that which Secre

taries Garrison and Daniels each Recommends for the reorganization

.jand expansion of the army and navy

auring me next rive years.

The report lays special emphasis

;upon the fact that modern means of

.communication have destroyed the iso

The increasing radio of action of the submarine, the aeroplane, and wireless telegraphy all supplement ocean transport in placing both our Atlantic and Pacific coasts within the t-phere of hostile activities or oversea .nations." , To emphasize the importance of improved communication, the report calnMy asserts that with conditions as they were abroad up to August, 1914, Germany with vessels of 7,600,000 tons capacity at her command "might reasonably be expected to transport and

land on our coasts" an expidltion of 387,000 men within 16 days and 440,000 more within 30 days. In other words, 827,000 men in two expeditions .within a month. Other interesting figures, based upon control of the sea by the various powers are given, Japan according to these figures could land 96,000 troops in 22 days,: and 143,000 more, or a total. of 239,000 in 41 days.

With . the .regular jarmy recruited to

253,000 troops, the plain of the war college would be to have 148,000, including 27,000 coast artillery constantly In Continental United States. The term of enlistment would be extended to eight years, two with the colors and six in reserve. It is estimated that from the mobile army troops with the colors in the United States there would be accumulated In eight years a reserve of 379,000 making with the 121,000 mobile troops with the colors a total of 500,000 regulars and reserves of regulars in the continental limits.

Diamond Talk No. 5. How to Jud$e Diamonds COLOR The second essential is color, and in this respect, diamonds range from . white to black. . . The most desirable color is blue-white, and from that, diamonds run down through many color grades in white, yellow and brown. A bluewhite diamond has a distinct bluish tint often called a steel blue. A white diamond is not white, but colorless, and comparable to a drop of clear spring water. There are many white diamonds that are dirty, dull or smoky In appearance, and of course undesirable. One of the commonest color designations is Commercial White a white diamond with just a suggestion of yellow. These are, when in the best grades, very brilliant, and being cheaper than the fine whites and blues, are in considerable demand. Below Commercial White, diamonds 'run into distinct yellows and light browns. These are much cheaper, but are often sold for far more than they are worth by unscrupulous dealers who set them in fine platinum mountings, which minimizes their off-color. Black diamonds are used in. mechanical processes, principally for drilling and in abrasive work. (Continued Tomorrow.) 0. E. Dickinson Special Agent for Hamilton Watches Seth Thomas Clocks.

Startled citizens rpused from their slumbers listened with bated breath in suspense for, a repetition of the ringing but silence" settled down again. Some of the bolder men arose, not without misgivings, and watched to detect human presence about the building. But it was deserted. ...TJiis morning it was the sole topic of conversation and not . until this afternoon was the cause of the ring

ing of the bell found out When George Biles, janitor, arrived there were several people waiting to find out what had happened. "That is easily, explained," said Mr. Biles,. .. "When . I was ringing the bell for prayer meeting- last evening, the large bell became caught. It was dark in the belfry and I thought I would wait until this morning to find out the reason. I suppose the bell was upside down and the wind jarred it so that it swung back into place." The ringing of the bell, which is the largest in the city, caused one of the neighbors to get out of bed and in

vestigate. He found all the doors to the church locked and returned to bed, but not to sleep.
