FORCES UNDER ARMS NUMBER SIX MIWON Other Millions Read) as Reserve for Instant Service FIGLUR S COMIPLIED FOR CON FERl ENCE United States Stands Alone Among Victors in Recent World War as Having Demobilized to Pre-war Status and Without Organization of Reserve Washington, Oct. 2.-(By Associat ed Press).-Active armies of the 14 most important nations of the worbi today include approximately 6,000, 000o men, according to figures obtained he re and regarded as reasonably ( orrect. With the inclusion of land armaments in the agenda of the forthcoming conference on limitation of armaments, the-e are the figures with which it is expected the assem bled delegates will have to deal. While China stands first among the nations in this sulmomary of soldiers act'ually uinder arms about Septem ber 1, hist, being credited with 1,370, (100 active troops, France is far ahead :mong nations not d istressed by civil strife, in the number of men with the colors. The French strength is plnced at 1,03-1,000 men, the British EnI pire standing next with 7-10,500 anud Germany last with 100,000. The U2nited States stands -13th with 149,000 men in the regular arimy, exceeding Germany, while Italy has :;50,000 and Japan 300,000, active troops. Figures for ather powers include: Russia, 5:18,000; Poland, 450,000; Greece, 255,000; Spa in, 253,000; Switzerl:nd, 170,000; Turkey, 152, ((00; Czecho-Slovakia 150,000. To Consider Reserves In considering problems connected with attempted reduction of armed forces ashore, it is to be assumed, however, that the Wash ington Conl ferees will of necessity take into consideration many other lactors 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 train "HE WHO LOOKS BEFORE Save on building g by usini famous or treb in use.

In many coun tries some from of univer sal military service obligation rests upon the entire male population. .Ja pan, Italy, France, Greece, Czecho Slovalkia, Poland, Switzerland and Spain all have in force such laws, while among British colonies, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia have similar enactme'nts. By these factors the relative figures take oin an even wi(er (liscrepancy than when national army strength is viewed from ihe standpoint of active armies alone. France for instance, is esti mad to have beyond her million men in arms, 4,270,000 rescrvists, the majority of them highly tr'.ined as a result of war experience and the whole body included in a highly organized reserve system that will keep the nation's trained fighting personnel at that Point, Italy's 350, 000 fighting troops are ba'eked by 4, 627,000 reserves in an equal state of HE LEAPS BUILDS OF CYPRESS. the ultimat< (new or "i y the lumb for giving le money [hat means ye money by repair bills, nd labor by not rork over and < r~ou "'Buy the ( ob," you will. il saving.

Guard Only Auxiliary The United States has at present nothing in the way of organized reserves behind the regular army ecel)t the national guard, the move ment for organization of a voluntary reserve 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 and available number of males of fight ing age in the population. In France, Italy 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 arny figures, military ex)ertsi say, was that the United States alone among the victor nations in 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 reorganiza tion after the war, is actually weaker. 0 TUBERCULOSIS: WHAT SHOUILD WE DO ABOUT IT? Few diseases there are which to the average person cause greater fear or despair than tuberculosis, and to be told that one is a victim of tuberculo sis usually means that this individual at once becomes extremely sensitive of his condition and considers himself doomed to a shortened, uncertain and] torturing existence, ostracized by so ciety, a burden to his family and a menace to his friends, with but the one and inevitable outcome, death, to look forward to. Such thoughts however should nev er exist for tuberculosis encountered in its earlier stages can in a large majority of cases be arrested an( even many of the far advanced cases, par ticularly if one lung only be involved, ci be sufficiently arrested as to allow the individual to live a useful and happy life, limited only to common sense, healthful routine and restricted from doing heavy labor.
