UNITED STATES ONLY VICTOR ACCOMPLISHING FINAL DEMOBILIZATION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 Acting arm

ies of the 14 most important nations of the world today include approxi

mately 6,000,000 men, according to

figures obtained here and regarded as reasonably correct. "With inclusion of land armaments in the agenda of the forthcoming conference on limitation of armaments, these are the fig

ures with which it is expected the as

sembled commissioners will have to

deal.

While China stands first among the

nations in this summary of soldiers actually under arms about Sept. 1, last, being credited with 1,370,000 active troops. France is far ahead among nations not distressed by civil strife in the number of men with the colors. The French army strength is placed at 1,034,000 men, the British erpire standing next with 740,500 and Germany last with 100,000. The United States stands thirteenth with 149,000 men in the regular army, exceed-

nig kjilij vi v i mail j f wiiiic i tatj liU j 350,000 and Japan 300,000 active I

troops. Figures for other powers include Russia, 538.000; Poland, 450.000; Greece, 255,000: Spain, 253.000; Switzerland, 170,000; Turkey, 152,000; Czecho-Slovakia 150,000. Many Factors Involved. In considering problems connected with attempted reduction of armed forces ashore, it is to be assumed that

the Washington conferees will of necessity take into consideration many

other factors than the forces actually under arms in computing the army strength of any nation for purposes of

discussion.

Reserve systems, the extent to

which reserves have been organized for quick mobilization and the degree of training they have received, all would be reviewed by technical ex

perts. In many countries some form

of universal military service obligation rests upon the entire male popu

lation.- . Japan, Italy, France, Greece,

Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Switzerland!

and Spain all have in force such laws, j

while among British colonies. South I

Africa, New Zealand and Austria, have similar enactments. j By these factors the relative fig- j

ures take on an even wider discrepancy than when national army strength is viewed from the standpoint of active armies alone. France, for instance, is estimated to have be yond her, 1,000,000 men in arms, 4.270.000 reservists. th mainritv nf

them highly trained as a result of war

experience, and the whole body in eluded in a highly organized reserve system that will keen the nation's

trained fighting personnel at that

point. Italy's 3o0,000 fighting troops are backed by 4,627,000 reserves in an eaual statf of nrpnarp(1rss unit

Japan's 300,000 by another army of

i,mo,uoo trained and equipped to take

me rieia on short notice. Lacks Organized Reserves. The United States has at present nothing in the way of organized reserves behind the reerular armv p-v-

cept the national guard, the movement for organization of a voluntary . re

serve having just been started. Still another angle of the army reduction problem which may come up at the conference is the proportion of active and organized reserve personnel to the man power of the nation, the available number of males of fighting ago in the noDUlation. In Franrp Ttnlv

and some other countries, virtually

every male fit for army service already either is in the active army or has a definite place in the organized and trained reserve. One thing clearly established by these army figures, military experts said, was that the United States alone among the victor nations of the war, seems to have completely demobilized. The regular army today Is little stronger in numbers than it was before the mobilization in 1917. The national guard, due to reorganization after the war, actually is weaker. Bethel Ind. BETHEL, Ind.

HANDLEY ANNOUNCES PLATFORM FOR RACE FOR MAYOR'S OFFICE The following platform has been announced by Lawrence A. Handley, Democratic nominee for mayor: "I am connected with a large number of the fraternal and civic organizations of the city and have always taken an active part in all public matters, serving on various civic committees and in all matters of patriotic endeavor. "I have served on the committee appointed a few years ago to investigate and consider the welfare of the Municipal light and power plant, and it was this committee that recommended the purchase of the Light, Heat & Power company, thus giving the city plant the entire field for the sale of electric current. "My experience would certainly indicate that I am competent to organize the business of the city, obtain the co-operation of the different departments, and give the citizens what they have been demanding a business administration. "I believe in Richmond and its citi

zens, and that no other city in Indiana has the advantages and possi-

Dumes ior prosperous business, clean citizenship, and happy, homes. Wants Good Man "I believe that the best men obtainable are none too good for appointment for the board of public works and that high class men who are willing to make some sacrifice in the interests of the city should be appointed to this board. "I believe that the Municipal light plant should be kept at all times in a high state of efficiency, with a competent man to manage and give it careful supervision. One of the biggest assets the city can have is lowpriced efficient power and light. "I believe that the women of Richmond are entitled to and should have a greater share in the public life of the city and pledge if elected that the women shall have representation in the official life of the city. Urges Health Safeguarded. "I believe that Richmond should be a clean, sanitary, well-kept citv, that every reasonable safeguard for the public health should be taken, that a high-class school system should be maintained, that the city should have a low tax rate, a, low lighting rate, a low rower rate, and that these things, together with our plentiful supply of clean, pure water, our improved park system, good streets, good sewerage, and a healthy happy home life would make Richmond a most t! Meant a n n

desirable place in which to live and rear a family. Make these advantages all real and industries will locate in

Kietimond without the influence of a bonus in the shape of land or money. "I believe that the various boards and heads of departments should be chosen for their fitness, willingness to work, and ability, and should not then be interferred with by the mayor or be subservient to his personal preference in the makeup of the personnel of the employes. The results obtained in the various departments should be the first consideration and each board or head of department should be held responsible for the work performed. Promises Co-operation. "I believe that the time of the mayor should be at the disoosal of the city at any hour, day -slight, and that he should keep in close touch with all matters of official nature and

those that make for the welfare of the city. , i

"I believe that the city council, the board of public works, and all other departments of the city government are equally interested in the welfare of the city and that each should be consulted and be given the fullest information on all matters so that they can act Intelligently and safely in the interest of the city. T believe in co operation and harmony and that these can be had if proper influence be exerted by citizens and officials alike so that Richmond will stand forth as a model city and one to be proud of. "LAWRENCE A. HANDLEY."

LOCAL CITIZENS ARE' INTERESTED

Case at Indianapolis Has Direct Effect Upon Residents Here.

; "I think Pepgen is a wonderful medicine for "anybody who is weak and run down. It proved to be such in my ase," says Mrs. Carrie Pobst, of 217 North Twelfth Street, Indianapolis. "My system was weak and run down generally as a result of stomach trouble. I suffered a great deal from indigestion. Severe pains came in my stomach frequently. Then my appetite became poor and went down to almost nothing. . Finally, my nerves became affected. I began to decline in health every way. "I saw Pepgen so highly recommended in the newspapers that I decided to try it. Pepgen was just what I needed. I began to improve in just a short time after I started taking Pepgen. Now, I have improved in every way. My stomach and nerves are much better. I am feeling fine. "Yes, I think Pepgen is wonderful for anybody who suffers as I did and 1 am glad to recommend it." Pepgen is designed to put the stomach, liver and kidneys in good, healthy condition. It makes the blood rich, red and pure. It promotes healthy, refreshing sleep. It invigorates and strengthens' the entire system. Pepgen is now being specially introduced at Quigley's Drug Store, Richmond, B. A. Carpenter Drug Store, Cambridge Cit3 and other leading drug stores in nearby towns. Advertisement.
