Though eéngaged in demobilizing her entire reserve army, France will maintain a numerical supremacy of at least three to _-one over Germany’s military forces, thus guaranteeing the out- carrying of the treaty terms. .| i At the present time France has nearly two million men under arms, but the present demobilization plans call for the _discharge of all but 600,000 before November 1. . Germany now has about 400,000 men in her volunteer armies. This number must be reduced to 200,000 during the next few months. Hence, in November, with France’s demobilization completed and Ger- many reduced to the army permitted her by the treaty, France will still have full control of the situation. On March 31, 1920, Germany will have to-have demobil- izéd all but a permanent standing force of 100,000 men. France will on that date still have 600,000 men mobilized, or a super- iority of six to one. Not only will France then be in a position to watch Germany closely, butishe will be aided also by the _occupation forces of the United' States, England and Belgium. With Germany thus reduced in military strength, France has hopes of also lessening the.term of service for her troops. The French have in‘the past been driven to long term obligatory service by Germany. The future promisesto remove this cause permanently. - The 600,000 men France will for the time being retain under arms consist of two classes, those of 1918 and 191? as well as the professional and colonial troops. () . * £ = DEATH IN THE MINES. = : . The death rate among miners is, high-in many couniries. ‘A miner’s work is performed under certain physical risks. But thea death: rate is nowhere as high as it is in America. This fact may seem surprising, as we are inherently a humare na- tion, and we give rather more protection than other countries to the manual worker. | . / . It can not be attributed to the extreme pressure of working . conditions—to intensive development and high production. There is a.symptom that discourages this theory, and it is rather a sinister one. miners xyho ‘can not speak English as among those 'who can. Owing to the perilous nature of-the work various ‘warnings are printed for the protection of the workers, on handbills and -motice boards, and most of the English speaking miners can read them. The notices are also printed in foreign tongues, but they do fittle good. Those who speak those tongues are, more often than not, illiterate. 3 They are allowed to vote, although they do not know epough'to enable them to safeguard their own bodies. It s vital, for their own well being as well as for, ours, that they - should be able to efficiently do {both. Then we will read of less lacéidents in. the mines, where life pays the penalty.

Disorderly. hoodlums gtow scarcer; wife-beaters. di- minish; cases of cruelty to children are fewer. But the need of caution s .xot gone. Prohibition .is a national confession that we cannot be trusted to control our|ing us that “a hew kid:came:to school appq‘titgs.

She plays the role of Peggy Gordon, an ener- getic daughter. of an impractical dreamer: “She-finds her true love in the person of a wealthy young fel- soiled by honest toil. They meet “over the garden wall.” There will also be shown the Pathe Weekly News entitled ‘‘Topics of the Day,” showing pictures of the day, accounts of which, have been carried in the newspapers. DON'T YOU REMEMBER ? Members of the generation whose childhood dates back about twenty- five years ago will find recollections “.of an old, old song crowding through their minds when they witness Vita- graph’s new picture, “Over the Gar- den ‘Wall,” at the Grand tonight and | stomorrow. They will find them- gselves unconsciously humming the “tune of the words. Vitagraph’s pic- ture of “Over the Garden Wall” is ~ designed with the atmosphere of the old song. It is full of love. The story deals with the fates of young hearts in’ the suburbs and countryside and in society. There is a touch of busi- “ness conflict and.intrigue. The settings are rich with the at- mosphere of fine dwellings and rural gardens. ; SPLENDID WASHBURN PICTURE.
