JOHN BARKY AT GAYETY Is Famous for the Line, “I’ll Kill ’Im!”—.Another Superlatively Good Columbia Burlesk Noah Webster defines the word "bon ton” as follows; ‘‘The style of per sons in high life; good breeding; fash ionable society; height of fashion.” ' Advance reports have it that Jacobs trod Jemion’s big show coming to the popular Gayety theatre next week Is all of these things. Its principal en tertainers are high in the acting pro fession; they display more than or dinary good breeding in their work; they belong to the social elect of the stage and the show itself is the height of fashion and modern in every wav. John Barry, the featured comedian of the piece, comes of a family of thespian aristocrats, none being bet ter known or more highly respected than the famous Barrys. Bernice La Barr, the prima donna, descends from one of the best old Southern families or Tennessee; Lou Barry, is also of a splendid old American family, as are S m Raynor, Louise Wright and Ed die Simmons, while Walter La Foye counts among his ancesters some of the old Bourbon stock of France. So much for the breeding of the cast. As to the show itse f—-every line and situation in it has been writ ten in good taste and refinement. Wliile the comedy is uproarous, it is still wholesome and refined, and the fifteen or more musical numbers are of the type that Is popular in the drawing rooms of the best homes. The dancing is full of dash and grace, but at the same time entirely lacking in suggestiveness. And this carries us to Mr. Webster’s final definition of the word—the "height of fashion” which refers to the scenes and cos tumes of the ‘‘Bon Tons". Here the producers have exerted the greatest care and good taste in equipping their production with an array of stage set tings and gowns that are not only In the height of fashion but which even anticipate the coming modes. As to the ladies of the ensembles the chorus—they too, individually and collectively, show breeding and beauty, while at the same time displaying a pleasing ability in their interpreta t:on of the many Intricate dance steps and' in the cultured singing of the many charming songs of the piece. Nor are they a disappointment as manikins for the display of the gorgeous cos tumes. ■So in every way the "Bon Tons” lives up to its definition in the dic tionary. Its name is no misnomer.

When all were in readiness, a com mittee of women retired to the parson a*”gp, persuading the pastor, H. W. Botts, out, immediately blind folding and leading h;m into the church.! where he was seated near a table laden with good things to eat. When the blind fold was dropped his eyes | beheld the objects before him, sur rounded by his members and friends. ITe being so completely surprised that vp remained silent some min”tes, when he gave vent to his feelings, and heartilv thanked his friends for turn ing aside and coming forth in the mid v'eek, and for the purpose of showing their love for him by trying to make him happy.

In the after noon service, which was specially to the women, she-preached again, this time to a larger congregation, and at the evening service which concluded the revival she preached to a “packed” house. During this revival there were 40 persons added to the various churches, 25 of them coming to Bethel, and the church was built up in many other; ways. Our financial drive is on to meet our EUROPE’S ARMIES TOTAL 3,917,949 — 2,030,000 Fewer Men Under Arms Than in 1913. RUSSIA LEADS WITH 823,033 Kurope today is less ot an armed camp by nearly 2,000,000 men limn 11 was in 1913, the year before tlie World war, says the New York Times in that year, according to the most relb aide information, there were 4,dii9.2tX) men under arms in the active armies of Kurope. These armies included re serves on active duty, hut the total size of the Kumpean forces given for 1913 does not include organized re serves no, on duty, neither does 1, take into consideration the unorganized reserves that in time of emergency en ter into the military man-power of the nations of Kurope. Tie- total number of men In tne ac tive armies of Kurope on December 31, 1922. according to analysis of reliable reports received in Washington, was 'i.917.949 men. This total is worked our on the same basis of comparison •is thrt for 1913. It takes Into eon uderation the forces known to he in e active armies and includes reserves only where they are on active duty. Comparison of these totals Indicates Mint the active armies of Kurope today -amain 1,751,251 fewer men than these Hue armies totaled in 1913. Cost Has Quadrupled. There is 11 popular impression flint he armies of Europe are larger today '■an they were In the year preeediug he outbreak of the war. It lias eten ■ eon charged that there are 2,000.000 ore men under arms in Europe than ■ as tlie case in 1913. There Is nothing ■ sustain this assumption, say the ex erts in Washington whose business It is to have definite knowledge of the object. Another outstanding fact In the En ropean military situation of today is ■hat the cost of maintaining armies has gone up tremendously. The ar mies of 1922. although generally small er than those of 1913, eosf considerably more than those of the prewar year, even in the United States. Official fig ures covering the military expenditures of the United States and certain other countries show that the 1922 expendi tures are considerably in excess of those of 1913. The increase is largest •i the Italian army, which now costs more than six times what it did ten years ago, despite the fact that Its personnel is 50,000 less than In 1913. Armies Come High. The British and French armies are costing about four times as tnueh as j they did a year ago. The military ex penditures of Great Britain In 1913 amounted to £28.220,000, as compared with £115.870.51 Kl in 1922, so that the j ratio of 1922 expenditures to those of 1913 was 4.10 for Great Britain. The figures given for the British army In • • <ie. so far as 1922 is concerned, only one-half of the expenditures for the British air service, which is not under regular army control. Officially checked figures show that J flic military expenditures of France in j 1913 aggregated 983.224.376 francs, as compared with 4.190.000.000 francs In 1922. In otTicr words, the French army cost 4.2(1 more in l!r22 than It did in 1913. although the personnel was only 45.000 larger on December 31 last than in (he year preceding the war. Similarly, comparing the cost of the Italian army in Its own coin of the realm, the government's military ex penditures In 1913 aggregated 424.330, 058 lire, while in 1!<22 it had risen to 2.007.043 000. Consequent I v. the Ital ian people are spending 014 times ns much on their army as they did ten years ago. even though the personnel of their active force Is 50.000 smaller. Bolshevist Army Totals 9',8.000. The largest army In Europe In 1913 was that of Russia, when there were 1 200,000 soldiers on active duty. The (lower of the Russian forces was blighted by the World war. Russia today, under Bolshevist domlnnnee. is credited with an active army of 928. 0O0 men, well trained and well armed. Some persons may think that the Bob slievist arm* of nearly a million Is only a paper force. But this is far from the truth. Leon Trotzky, the Russian minister of war. declared In his official report in December. 1920. that the strength of ti e Bolshevist army was 5 000.000 men. Experts do not doubt that such n force existed, although It was not so well armed or trained as the pres ent smaller force. By the end of 1921 it had been redueed to 1.595.000 men. and a year later to 928,000. Authentic Information says that the army Is be ing reduced still further, although ev ery effort Is expended to make It more efficient. France Has More Troops. It has been the reduction In Ger many, Austria. Russia, Hungary; Bul garia and Italy that has brought down the size of the armies of Europe today. The actlvp armies of these six nations alone are about 1.600.000 smaller than at the beginning of the war. But about 500,000 more men are serving under the flags of Spain. Portugal, Ser bia, Greece. Switzerland. Belgium. Ru mania and Denmark at this moment than In 1913. France, the size of whose army ► •i matter of much conjecture today, had, us a matter of fact, only 45.000 fire men in active service at the be aming of this year than she had when ■'wmany Invaded her in 1914. The *!ve army of France on December V.KS2, was 750.000 men, and her or gnnized reserve on that day totaled 4.420.000 men. on this basis the total military man power of France, without taking into consideration unorganized reserves, was 5.170.000 in a population of only .'19.209,700, compared with a German population of 60,900,000. In any reference to the French mili tary organization it should be pointed out that these totals do not Include the splendidly organized and trained colo nial forces which performed such great service in the war and which todny, better organized than ever before, are still at the call of the mother country. Likewise the British total of 165,000 actives does not begin to represent the measure of the British strength. Europe’s Armies of Today. The following table, bused on the most dependable information obtain able in Washington, shows at n glance the European active man-power situa tion in 1913 and in 1922: Country 1913 1923 Great Britain 196,600 165.000 France . 705,700 750.000 Italy . 300,000 150 000 Sp.iln . 129 000 215 949 Portugal . 50,000 71,000 Switzerland . 140.000 260,000 Germany . 656.000 100.000 Austria . 690.000 30.000 Hungary . 230.000 35.000 Russia .1.200.000 929.000 Serbia . 110.000 120 000 Gr-eee . 23.000 11.5 000 Belgium . 42.900 120.000 Rumania . 150.000 200.000 Bulgaria . 59,900 16,000 Montenegro . 30,000 .
