REDUCTION OF ARMY DISCUSSED IN HOLLAND Ministry of War Proposes Drop to 70,000 Men and to Shorten Training Period. BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO. By Cable to The Star bud Chicago Dally News, Copyright, 1921. AMSTERDAM, Holland, June 15.— The second chamber has begun dis- cussion of a bill providing for the reduction of the standing army. In order to bring about a considerable saving in the military budget, the Dutch minister of war proposes to reduce the army to about 70,000 men and to shorten the training period by ten, six or four months. The radical parties approve of this plan on the ground that, as Holland is a small nation, it must leed the way to the general disarmament of the world. The conservative and moderate parties are strongly opposed to the measure, fearing that the complete military impotence of Holland might tempt nefghboring states to violate Dutch neutrality or integrity. One of the Catholic leaders has pointed out that it would be an_inexcusable blunder to reduce the Dutch army so radically while the Belgian army since the armistice has been in- creased to 450,000 men. The Dutch, he claims, will never be able to op- pose such a force and will be exposed to a fatal debacle. Tt is not improbable that the bill will be passed with perhaps some amendments by the parties of the right.

By Cabie to The Star and Chicago Dally News. - Copyright, 1921. PARIS, France, June 15.—The prob- lem of how to make ghosts on the theatrical stage has been solved by Mme. Boutkovsky. a Polish artist, now working_in Paris. She has demon- strated her discovery before invited Ruests at her studio. Besides making “this too, too solid flesh” to melt, she | is able to transform scenery without!| moving it. .This may result in great- 1y cheapening the production costs of certain sorts of plays and permitting remarkable effects of magic hitherto unattained in the theater. The invention is based on the long- known principlea, of chromatics by |wmch certain colors are obliterated if | the lights of certain other colors are thrown upon them. Thus by merely ! changing the lights, Mme. Boutkovaky can make actors disappear from view or can transform scenery, making, for instance, an enchanted garden appear to grow out of a barnyard. The In- vention will have its first public trial next month in the Eslava Theater, Madrid, on the occasion of the first Sanish performance of Barry's “Mary Rose.” —_— In Sweden and Norway a legal marriage at one time was not al- lowed to be performed until both certificates parties had produdced stating that they bore genuine vac- cination marks.
