At first it was not a financial suc cess, but in a few jears it was well established and is now a valuable piece of property. Its two-story total would be surpassed, judging from the record of the police in ar resting people without license. Mr. E. G.

It goes on to state that while it is esti- mated mat uermany couia raise eight or nine million men. it is hot be lieved it can arm and keep up more than what now is the total on both fronts.
