AMERICAN IROOPS WjPf INTIMATIONS GIVEN THAT SOLDIERS MAY BE RETURNED , FROM RHINE \yHEN PEACE t< TREATY HAS BEEN RATIFIED j BY SENATE. 1 +: i Washinpton. Autr. 26.?Intima tions were given in high official quarters today that withdrawal of the American troops from the Rhine will be seriously-considered as soon -as,the peace treaty signed yesterday in Berlin has been ratified 'by the .... #| senate and the German reichstag. No definite prediction was made but it (became lcnown that once peace actually was established the administration would feel there would be no necessity for the nation to continue wi& the support of an army of occupation, Under the new treaty Germany I agrees to perpetuate the promise she made in the treaty of Versailles to i pay the expense of occupation, but there is no direct mention of the < subject whidh, ' it is understood, i could be interpreted as in any way j affecting the present situation or j ( biding the United States either to re- ] I main or withdraw. ] The Versailles agreement fixed 15 > years as the maximum period of oc- a cupation. So far as is known there : teas no consideration of the' subject i in {he negotiations leading up to 1 the present treaty, and officials take i ^ the view here that the decision lies 1 | wholly with this government. It is 1 suggested by those favoring an early I withdrawal, however, that mainte- : i> nance of the forces of. occupation ] might impose such a financial tour- < den on Germany as to delay materi- < ally her payment of reparations. < lest available figures place the i number of American troops in the 1 ! army of occupation at 14,000, whose J* cost of maintenance is nearly a mil- ; lion dollars a month. Only a small < part of the maintenance bill has been i I- met by the German government thus 1 I far, upwards of $250,000,000 being j due and uAnald to the United States i on account of occupation. ] Despite the predisposition of the < ' administration tq disengage Ameri- < | can relations from any unnecessary entanglements in Europe, many j questions will enter into considera- 3 5: 'tion of the question of troop withdrawals. Problems growing out of i the occupation already have led to < disagreemnts among the European < allies, and it is the manifest hope of j American officials to avoid offense i to any of them in the course it < f, adopts. - ; It is considered unlikely that ] ifcere will be a definite decision pending ratification of the treaty by < 'f the senate and by the reichstag, both of which are expected to begin j consideration of the pact late next ] | .month. Meantime, however, officials J' of the state and war departments] will, make a detailed investigation of ' conditions in, Germany and in the 1 ? Occupied territory for the guidance of President Carding and his advis? : ers. Although the treaty signed yes* terday covers in a general way the question of trade relations by reaffirming many commercial provisions f , of the Versailles settlement, it was r disclose today that a separate trade treaty with Germany probably will, be sought jn the near future. It is possible that negotiations to that end may begin even before the gen N eral treaty has been ratified. S? I ?. 295 BEANS TO PLATE "Boston Baked" Not Worth Price / Paid Says Master Mind. Boston, Aug. 27.?There are exactly 295 beans to a plate. After considerable research and in" vestigation, a master mind, employed! by the state commission on nec6ssa-l I ries of life, made tRis announcement, j What's more, when you pay 151 cents for your 295 beans you arej getting stung, he says. The whole dish, bread, butter and all, costs only 2 1-2 cents. If you don't believe this, just p . count the next plateful yourself. Then ? " multiply the result by the Einstein s.'; theory and you have the correct answer. ft/ ' That's what the restaurant keepers say the master mind did. i HlL. j SELECTS HANDSOMEST MAN FOR "QUEENS" OF PARIS FtvorMl One Weight Two Hundred and Thirty-two Pounds Without Adam's Apple., ( y' - i Paris, Aug. 27.?-The ^"Queens of Paris," annually chosen for their beauty, have just ballotted and selected as the handsomest man in France one Eugene Hoffman, who weighs two hundred and thirty-two pounds. This is the first time a competition in masculine beauty has been held in France, Eugene, at the moment, naturally is undecided as^to whether he shall go into vaudeville, or the movies. It has been suggest- j fd that he may open a gentleman's beauty parlor. Eugene also is in some perplexity | as to what he shall attribute his splendid physique. He has been overwhelmed with* offers from the patent medicine manufacturers and just as soon as he can make a decision we shall hear that his pulchritujinous triumph was due entirely to his life-long use pf some sort of Dale pellets for pink people. At this writing the negotiations are still in progress. Nineteen publishers have approached the new Adonis with proposals to publish any books he may ? write. Some of the already suggested titles are "My Beauty Secrets," "How To Raise Eyebrows," and "How To Be Handsome though Hefty." Eugene won the beauty contest ' fairly despite the tricky tactics of some of his closest rivals. For example when the candidates passed sefore the jury of Parig queens, it nvivo I leeiuvu unaui tuav uiav ffould go to a tall, slim youth with )londe curls. It was discovered, lowever, by lifting up his flowing fellow whiskers that he had a very prominent Adam's apple and that, >f course, disqualified- him. This iiscovery served to cast suspicion >n all the other bearded candidates md a prompt investigation showed ;hat none of theih wore a neck tie. The jury of ladies were revolted it this, and as a result, a great ;oritroversy is raging in the * press is to whether bearded men should wear cravats. There long has been i theorv that the fashion of wear ing a beard was nothing more or ess than a cloak to cover up an jffective means of beating the high :ost of haberdashery. Another comely contestant was ruled out when he admitted he was i woman. j The competition has proved such a success that the authorities have jetermined to make it an ' annual svent M. Hoffman generously has announced that in no circumstances will he be a candidate for re-election, svhich makes it anybody's race> next year, and probably there will be a largely increased entry list. The rules for next year have been announced somewhat as follows: 1. All males between the ages of 18 and 80 shall be eligible on presentation of a birth certificate showing age and sex. 2. Married men must present a letter from their wife permitting them to participate. 3. Jewelry, such as diamond scarf pins, pearl necklaces and ear-rings, shall be barred, as likewise the jingling of coins in one's pockets, or the ostentatious dropping of bank notes of large denomination before the, eyes of the jury. 4. The committee discourages the use of perfume or the plucking of eyebrows. One married man, anxious to get in training at the earliest possible moment, applied yesterday to his wife for a permit under Rule Two. The lady was seized with a violent I laughing fit from which she has) not yet recovered. Doctors are in attendance and the husband professes complete mystification as to what could have brought on the attack of pernicious merriment. CLEMSON ANSWERS Please advise me in regard to destroying earth ' worms.?E. B. H.f Ho!!:- Hill. The earth worm may be easily destroyed in pots and boxes where you are growing plants by applying strong lime water.'

An hour later a po- i liceman called Flynn to the- door and told him that Harold his 3-year-old and youngest son, had died a few v minutes before in Roosevelt Hospi- j tal. In some manner an unhinged j gate leaning against the fence of the park's athletic field had toppled rj over and crushed the Iboy.
