WEDNESDAY EVENING,
ARMY SHRINKS
TO 261,686
Nation Had Force of 4,000,000
Men When Armistice
Was Signed
Washing-ton, Nov. 12.—An army
of 4,000,000 men represented the
United States a year ago when the
armistice was signed. To-day, ac
cording to statistics available at the
War Department, this great army
has shrunk until it is of less than
the authorized peace-time strength.
The return of the overseas army
of 2,000,000 men and the demoboli
zation of all the emergency men
form one of the most spectacular ac
complishments of the War Depart
ment since the signing of the ar
mistice.
To be exact, 3,430,170 troops were
reported discharged since November
11, 1918, in the latest ilgures avail
able at the War Department. Of
these, 179.515 were officers and 3,-
250,655 enlisted men. The strength
of the army on November 4 was
only 261,65.6 —21,603 in Europe or
Asia and 203,835 in the United
States.
Since the signing of the armistice
a total of 1,951,651 of army person
nel has sailed from Europe for the
United States. The total embarked
since last November, including ma
rines, naval personnel and civilians, j
is 2,002,487.

Thin Men and Women
Can Put on Flesh
increase strength, endurance, vitality
and greatly improve their health by
building up their nerves and enrich
ing their blood. Unquestionably one
of the best things for this purpose is
the great French discovery known
among our druggists as Blood Iron
Phosphate. People who have tried It
say that one five-grain tablet taken
with each meal quickly restores de
pleted nervous energy, enriches the
blood, increases strength, vitality and
endurance, and those who are too
thin usually put on pounds of solid
stay-there flesh in a short time. In
asmuch as Geo. A. Gorgas and all oth
er druggists are authorized to sell
Blood-Iron Phosphate under a guar
antee qf satisfaction or money hack,
every thin. weak, nervous or anemic
man or woman should give it a trial
without delay.
IMPORTANT—BIood-Iron Phos
phate is sold only in original pack
ages, containing enough for three
weeks' treatment, at $1.50 per pack
age—only 50c a week.

NEW INTERSTATE
ROADS PLANNED
Highway Commissioner Sad
ler to Improve Highway Be
tween Pa. and Ohio
Highway Commissioner Lewis, S.
Sadler, of Pennsylvania, and High
way Commissioner A. U. Taylor, of
Ohio, have arranged Improvement of
Important thoroughfares which will
link Ohio and Pennsylvania centers
of population.
They have agreed that the con
necting thoroughfare shall be those
from Conneaut leading to Erie;
from Youngstown to New Castle;
from East Palestine to Beaver
Palls, and from St. Clairsville to
Washington. The latter is known as
tho National Pike and that from
East Palestine to Beaver Falls as
the Lincoln Highway. Projects for
the not distant future include the
construction of roads from Warren,
0., to Sharon; from East Liverpool
to Beaver, and from Steubenville to
Pittsburgh. It will be several years,
however, before these three projects
aro completed.
Commissioner Sadler was highly
complimented by Commissioner
Taylor on tho great progress being
made in Pennsylvania, not only In
the constructing of new roadways,
but also in the maintenance of
thoroughfares already in use. Com
missioner Taylor, who for the lasi
week lias been inspecting roads 11

Wedncsouy evening
sioner Sadler laid great stress on the
Importance of constructing, as soon
as possible, a road system which will
connect the centers of consumptior
with the centers of production.
"In England recently," he said
"freight transportation ceased. As .•
result there was tremendous diffl
cuP.y in transporting foodstuffs t
tho centers of population. Moto.
trucks, passenger cars and horse
drawn vehicles were pressed inti
service. Suppose freight transpor
tation were to cease in the United
States. What would happen?
"In five days babies in our largei
cities would die. In twenty days the
State would be on rations. In forty
days men, women and children
would be sick through lack of suf
ficient nourishment.
"It is the idea of Governor Sproui
and the State Highway Department
that all possible haste be made ir
the construction of a primary high
way system connecting our Stati
with other States, and our centert
of production with the centers o.
consumption." '
"That is a splendid idea." said
Commissioner Taylor. "We have
i been greatly impressed with th*
magnitude of the Pennsylvania con
struction program. Pennsylvania's
1919 expenditure of approximately
$36,000,000 for road work will al
most be equaled by the Ohio ex
penditure for 1920, when we plan to
put $25,000,000 into better roads. It
is our idea in Ohio to put an end to
the 'island' system of road building.
I mean by that, the construction of
isolated "strips of hard-surfaced
thoroughfare, which in the summer
time are flanked by ribbons of dust
and In the winter by rivers of mud."
Highway Commissioner Sadler
told Commissioner Taylor that the
Pennsylvania Department is putting
its money into permanent work.
"We are not building for present
use alone," said Mr. Sadler. "It Will
be such work as our descendants
will thank us for. We have issued
bonds to pay for construction of our
primary system. It is our idea that
the roads we build must outlive the
bonds issued to pay for them. Any
other system would be economic
waste."

PRINCE PRAISES
ARMY AND NAVY
Says Spirit of American Sol
diers and Sailors Has
Appealed to Him
By Associated Press.
Washington. Nov. 12. The
Prince of Wales concluded the first
day of this visit to the United
States with a message of greeting!
last night to the American people I
in which he paid a warm tribute to I
the part played in the world war I
by the army and navy of the United j
States. The prince delivered his i
message in person at the National!
Press Club.
"I know that you gentlemen of the
American press are very highly train- i
ed critics of public writing and pub- I
11c speech," he said, "and I am not j
at all your equal In that respect, but {
happily for me, what I want to say j
to you is easily said. It is to tell the !
American people through you with j
what pleasure I recall my visit to I
their gallant forces in Europe last i
winter and how glad I am now to 1
be making acquaintance with the
great people from whom those
forces came. I was able to visit sev- ,
oral of your divisions in France und '
Germany and also the very smart !
Sixth battle squadron which you j
sent to join the Grand Fleet in the |
North Sea. The spirit of your sol- i
diers and sailors, officers and men. '
appealed to me very strongly, and |
nnde me wish to know their coun
try and their kin. The rapidity of!
vour organization moreover enabled
<ne to realize with what devotion and 1
strength this mighty nation can ]
espouse a noble cause.
"Now tha' ' am really here in !
the United States, I feel that my 1
inticipation will be completely ful- j
Hied. Your institutions, your ways'
>f life, your aims are as democratic i
is ours, and the atmosphere in j
which 1 find myself 13 the same in- i
cigorating familiar atmosphere in i
which I have always noticed in my j
American friends.
