Mrs. Ellen Van Trees, heiress, is alleged to have objected to Eugene M. Van Trees, her husband and' likewise heir to a fortune, because her 5 feet 9 inches of slender beauty did not "match well" with 5 feet 4 inches of dapperness. They quarreled over Van Trees' lack of height until he left, and she sued for divorce claiming desertion. Attorney Wilder, for Van Trees, produced a letter which the wife had received from her mother. The letter reads in part: - "Don't let his size worry you. My mother was a beautiful woman and taller than my father. It made no difference. Live with hint and be happy." Help him. It is your duty. Put his estate in both your names and don't let others meddle in your affairs. Every one will be nice to you when you have money but without it the world is cold. 'You know that, dear." Judge Crail granted the divorce, remarking: . , , "They appear to be fairly nice folks. But it's evident they can't live together, so I'll give her a.tie-, cree of divorce and an allowance t $1,200 a year." - GIRL ADMITS SHE CUT , " OFF HER OWN LOCKS. tNew York, Dec. 21.

Legisla tion which would amount to a vir tual reorganization of the army with protection from outside at tack as a primary purpose and with compulsory military training for boys from 18 to 21 years of age,- as a leading feature, has been agreed upon tentatively by the senate mil itary subcommittee considering a permanent military policy for the nation. Senator-Wadsworth of New York, chairman of the subcommit tee, said tonight the legislation would be put in final form during the Christmas recess of congress for presentation" to the full com mittee "when the senate reconvenes. ' The legislation as agreed upon by the subcommittee, Senator Wadsworth said, is completely new and bears no "resemblence to the Irmy organization bill drafted by the general staff and transmitted tothe house and senate military committee by (Secretary Baker. The committee's present agreement, Sen ator Wadsworth said, calls for a permanent standing peace army of 280,000, although the committee may possibly reduce this unmber in the final draft. The smallest pos--sible standing army that will meet the demands of this country is the aim. i of ,. th,c . subcommittee, Chair man Wadsworth said. ; National Guard Part One . big army composed of the regular army as now recognized and a reserve or citizens' army, is provided. Of the latter army the national guardwould be a part al though he details of the organiz ation of that service remain to be worked out. Youths within the prescribed age limits would be required to take four months' military training with provision made for either the regular army or the national guard of the various states being usea in furnish ing this training. The youths, how ever, would be given an opportunity to elect either taking this training in a lump, or of joining the national guard for a fixed --period during which they would receive the same amount of training as prescribed for the four months' period. Upon completion of this training, the Recruits would be placed in a reserve army for a ; period of five years, but under no conditions, Sen ator Wadsworth said, could the re servists be called upon to perform military ' service except in case of declaration of 'war. , . " . "While the bill will providefor compulsory military training," Sen ator Wadsworth said, "there will be no provision made for compulsory military service." ) ' Another -radical departure from the present military system will be the substitution of the term "serv ice" for corps, provision being made for- designating ' the quartermaster, judge advocate, ordnance and sim ilar branches ' of services. Promo tions, the bill provides; would be guided by eligibility instead of seni ority, selections being made front a sctected list. The subcommittee also plans to overrule the recommendations of Secretary Baker and General March, chief of staff, to have the chemical warfare service combined with thej engineering corps and instead will make the former a separate service along with the construction and transportation branches. Similar legislation ,alst, is being worked out by the house military subcommittee which Acting Chair man Anthony said tonight will have its army reorganization bill ready to be taken up in the Tiouse early next month. Under plans of the house committee, however, the peace army will include approximately 300,000 enlisted men and 18.000 officers. As now planned the house bill will maintain the present status ohe national guard. It. will also provide for "plucking board" consisting of five' general officers to weed out "dead timber" among the commis sioned inch. .

HOOVER REQUESTS FOREIGN BUYERS BE GIVEN CREDIT Upon Credits Revolves Sale of American Fanners Surplus, He Asserts. ' Chicago, Dec. 21ANecessity for establishing .credits 'in this country for foreign buyers if the world is to return to normal speedily, is empha sized by Herbert Hoover,-former food administrator,""writing in Farm and Home for January. Reviewing world wide economics from 1917 to 1921, inclusive, Mr. Hoover pointed out that the farmer here and in other countries has' main tained production while manufactur ing, mining and transportation has slackened enormously since the armistice. - "The world situation," ' said Mr. Hoover, "is such that all our food stuffs will be needed if the world is to be 'carried over without starvation. In the great American export staples of grain, meat and dairy products there is a sufficient amount to get the world through but only on, a narrow margin. - , ) "Europe's harvests this year were 80 per cent of the prewar normal and will not recover for some time. Russia may not be again exporting foodstuffs for some years. Reduced producing capacity of animals in Eu rope, due to underfeeding, , 'is more serious than their lessened number. Surplus foodstuffs jn the southern hemisphere were largely absorbed in the past year and wMl be fully ab sorbed during the present harvest year. - "There will be. no considerable carry-over of food supplies anywhere in the world on August 1, 1920. The world will start fresh again next-August with only its then production to cover the year following.

The United States army "transport Buford ark of the soviet sailed ' before -dawn Sunday with a "cargo of anarchists, communists and radicals banned from America for conspiring against its government. Its destination was hidden . in sealed orders but the 249 passengers it carried expect jo be landed at some far northern port giving ac- cess to soviet Russia. "Long live the revolution in Amer- " ica," was chanted defiantly, by the motley crowd on the decks pi the gray troop ship as she dimmed her way past the statue of liberty. Now and then they cursed in chorus at the United States and the men who had cut short their propaganda here. Not until the Buford steamed out of the narrows between Forts Ham ilton and Wadsworth did the din cease. Over their heads, whipping in the' wind, the Stars and Stripes floated from the mast head. The autocrats of atl Rus"s?ans,on the transport were Alexander Berk man and Emma Goldman, his boon companion for 3Q years.
