The 300 State police in oflice in Cassel, 100 have elected to b~e trans ferred to the new organization, andl the remainder have been given places in civil service. The exact size of the new militariz ed police organization has not been an nouncedl. American studlying the deC mobilization andi reorganization of the Ge!rman army say that the significance of militarizing police in Germany is great. American officers have recordjs of ani announcement that the Prussian gov ernment, quite apart from the Nation-. al government was to organize a "schutzlanschafft,' or State police force, throughout Prussia which would be virtually military units in garri sons with full infantry equipment, but would be under control of the minister of the interior and used only for the repression of internal disordlers. These troops according to tho plan, were to be quite apart andl in excess of the arwiy permittedl Germany under the I C U 13 ~!UU hou rices. id Rei terms of the peace treaty. I A semi-official however, states that ? it is appreciated that these tiops are not permitted under the tern.s of the T peace treaty, but the hope is expressed I that the Allies will be 'reasonable" V and permit their organization. 0 In sad and loving memory of Rufus T Richardson, who was wounded on the S battlefield in France, September 1918.
