It is quite nafural after having been encour- aged by successful endeavors along this line to follow them up by fore, afid just at the present time Getmany has pre- sented a request to the inter-allied con- ference at San Remo asking that in- stead of being restricted to an army of 100,000 it be allowed to increase it to 200,000 ha permitted to re- ain its general staff intast. This can be regarded as the direct éut- come of the recent trouble that Germany | has experienced, calling for the use of force to suppress those who were deter- mined to overthrow the government. it reports are true Germany has fot as yet ot its army down to the 100,000 fimit required by the treaty.

Instead of big states bullying little states, as the fathers feared, our biggest state has been mostly disap- pointed in its ambitions for the prest dency, and it is the custom to give it the vice presidency, as a consolation purse. Of the four New York presidents, three had to take the second place hefore tey could get the first. Cleveland was the only one of fhem to enter the White House by the front door.
