GERMANY’S NEW MILITARY PLANS GO
TO REICHSTAG PROBADLY THIS WEEK
Understood That Recruits Will Number 37,000 and In Two
Years Army Will Be Strengthened by 4,000 Officers, 15,-
000 Non-Commissioned Officers and 117,000 Men.
Berlin*— I The details of the milltary
plana of the German government will,
of course, remain unknown until they
are fortnaUv laid before the Reichstag
next week or poeathly a few days
later. Put Ln order to prepare the
people and tholr ret>reeentatlves fn
parliament the government has fol
lowed Its usual custom and given out
several hints through the semi-offi
cial pres* which may be reUed upon
to he quite correot-
Aecordlng to the "Berlin 1-okwJ
Anaejger." the annual Increase In the
number of recruits will lie about 3T.-
000 so that within two years the army
will he strengthened by 4.00# officers,
16.000 non-commtetoned officer*, and
117,000 men. With these additions a
third battalion will be given to eigh
teen regiments which still have but
two. the companies will be strength
ened throughout, and the frontier
corps will be brought up to the high
er establishment Six new cavalry
regiments will be demanded. *nnd will
also be allotted to the frontier dis
tricts.
ln addition of nearly 30,000 horses
will make It possible for the field ar
tillery batteries to exercise with all
six guns and some of the ammunition
wagons. The cavalry divisions are
not to be established permanently, but
are to be brought together more fre
quently for manaeuvrvs.
A portion of the non-recruiting ex
penditure will go to strengthening and
re-armlng the fortifications on the
Kastern frontier, and a half a dozen
fresh battalions of foot artillery are
to be formed nnd provided with In
dependent machine gun companies.
The horsing of the heavy artillery will
also be supplemented. Further, there
will be considerable additions to th?
searching companies, and the train,
telegraph and pioneer battalions.
The only paper which makes the as
sertion that the government's plnns
are directed against France Is,
strangely enough, the "Koetntcho
Zeltur.i* which as often been used as
a special mouthpiece of the govern
ment, but which now thunders against
France In expressions like these:
"We do not underestimate the fac
tors that have arisen from the new or
der in the Balkans, but when sacri
fice* are demanded os at present the
finger must be plainly pointed to the
quarter from which the nearest dan
ger threatens us. That In France.
Never has our relationship to our
western nelbbor been so strained as
today. Never has the ''revenge" idea
showed Itself there so undlsgulsedly,
and never has It been so clear that
Franco claims the Russian alliance
and Kngllsh friendship solely for the
purpose of reconquering Alsaco-Lor
raine. Therefore, ln whatever quart
er the world may catch fire, It is quite
certain that we shall have to cross
blades with the French. When tt
will happen no one can know."

Most Noisy City In All Europe Is
What Is Said of Pretty Berlin
Few Factories and No River Traffic, But Air is Filled With
Strident Whistling and Tooting From Morning to Night.
Second Only to Constantinople on Number of Dogs in City.
Berlin.—Berlin is undoubtedly the
most noisy city in Europe, though it
ha s comparatively few factories and
no river traffic to fill the air with
strident whistling and tooting. Most
of its noise, In fact. Is made by lung
and hand power, the first being the
result partly of the lusty crlesf of
street peddlers and the continuous
harking of an unusual number of
dogs. For Berlin is, after Constanti
nople, the most dog-ridden city in
the world, and the latter emanating
from hundreds of thousands of pia
no- which are belabored by more or
less musical fingers about eighteen
hours out of every twenty-four
Seme time ago the Berliners made
the alarming discovery that they
were developing nerves, which is

and do not take narrow views.
Take fruits, vegetables, oils, pure
wines, eggs, butter, milk, and bread.

complaint and they began to wonder

liners who are In the habit of mak
hours between 10 in the evening and
hours btween 10 in the evening and
4 in the morning in the cases, caba
fets, vaudeville theatres' and dance
halls of Friedrichstrasse and neigh
‘ honing streets, the cause • was plain
enough, but the large majority of
Berliners who never indulged in
these excesses were unable to under
stand why they should be nervous
and fidgety until Dr. Siegmund Auer
bach, who has long been engaged in
the study of noises and their effect
on health, informed them that it was
the unnecessar din of their beloved
city that made them Jumpy.
When the xplanaticn had been
i found the Berliners with their usual
resoluteness immediately formed an
Anti-Noise society, which has now
begun a fierce campaign against un
necessary noises and which has of
fered a reward for the invention of
a noise-meter, or whatever you may
call it, to measure noises and when
this Instrument has been invented a
certain .point of the scale which
marks the boundary between noises
which are harmful to the health
and which are not, for Germans are
nothing if not systematic and scien
tific in their methods.
As a particular Berlin noise Dr.
Auerbach names the beating of rugs
and carpets, which is bound to make
itself felt in a city of flats, where
every single flat has its special car
pet-beating baloney enrolfed. on the
list of modern improvements. German
housewives are bitter enemies of
dust in the rooms and at least twice
a week all carpets, rugs, curtains
and portieres are beaten into a state
of absolute dustlessness on the beat
ing balcony. Under no circumstances
does the German soul show such per
sistent energy, and one might almost
say ferocity as in this semi-weekly
onslaught on the microbes hidden
among the dust of the rugs and
hangings of the house: It promises
better for the future that sanitary
specialists have now satisfied them
selves that the thud of the carpet
beater is more injurious to health
than all the microbes which the beat
ing is supposed to drive away and
which ought to be removed in a
modern city like Berlin only by the
noiseless and scientific vacuum
cleaner.

AMERICAN DUCHESS
INTERESTED IN HOIK
London.—ls a vote were to be taken
among the poor - and hard working as
to who is the most popular lady in
London, Queen Alexandra would prob
ably be first, but the Duchess of
Marlborough would come a close sec
ond, for the interest which she takes
in the welfare of the humbler classes
is not spasmodic. It has become her
chief interest in life and like a gen
uine American she insists on doing as
much personally as her time will per
mit instead of following the easier
English way of doing good by proxy.
Recently she has been very much
taken up with the working of “Albion
House,", established in the very heard
of Kensington laundrvdom, to help
along poor washerwomen and other
humble female toilers. This house
was until quite recently a saloon but
is now a residential club and restau
rant run by the National Association
of Women’s Lodging Houses.
The duchess dropped into the club
the other day to afternoon tea with
the inmates and greatly enjoyed a
large cup of tea and two “sinkers"
supplied at the reasonable price of one
penny. When she left there was not
one of the women or girls who would
not go through fire or water for th*
rtcan duchess.
