Government Stocks Slump Since the beginning of the year, British government stocks have slumped in value on the London Stock Exchange by $1,100,000,000, an amount nearly equal to the cost of the South African war. On the other hand, aircraft, metal, oil and other shares affected by rearmament are booming and the chancellor of the exchequer Is under fire in opposition newspapers for his failure to announce plans to prevent armament profiteering or to declare for collective security under the League of. Nations, as Britain's future foreign policy. That most of the proposed ex penditure oi 17,500,000,000 over the next five years will be wasted because Britain has no co ordinated defense plan, Is alleged by Labor party critics.

"Our Weakness" "Since the end of the Great War we have spent $10,000,000,000 I Of the taxpayers' money on wea pons and fleets," says Lord Stra bolgl, "yet we are now told we are unable to pursue an adequate foreign policy by reason of our weakness." First repercussion of British rearmament from the Continent comes In the report that Mussolini, suspecting Britain has not really forgiven him for his treaty break ing conquest of Ethiopia, uas ap proncnea xiiuer wnn trie suggestion that both Italy and Germany should inform the London cabinet that any future system of peace guarantees in Western Europe is superfluous tn view of British and French defense preparations. INCREASE IN GERMAN STRENGTH REVEALED LONDON, Feb. 19 (CP Havas) Germany's army had increased in a year from 550.000 to 800.000 men and its air force from 50 squadrons to 137, with 2,060 first line fighting ships, the Manchester Guardian said today In a survey of German armea strentrtn. During the course of the coming year, ine uuaraian said, Uie armed forces would draw enormously from the 1,000,000 men now taking preliminary training. The air force would be increased to 200 squadrons and the German navy.

Two New Army Corps Since the beginning of this year, tne uuarouut on, two new army, "corps, comprising 15 divi sions of infantry, have been ere ated. The Infantry, which totalled 65 regiments, had risen to 100. The artillery had been Increased from 42 to 67 motorized corps. Two new divisions, each containing artillery, cavalry, tank and special motorized corps, have been formed and a new army corps, the 13th, was in tne process oi formation.

Due to lack of officers and trained specialists In sufficient quantities for the increased forces, many trained detachments of the police have been called to the colors, the Guardian said. Mean wnue, tne training of young offl cers had been accelerated. Territorial Reserve A territorial reserve also had been created under the name of Landwehr. The Blackshirts were a solid force of 300,000 men and the regular storm troops about 1,000,000, all of whom received military training. On the subject of the air force, the Guardian said that each of the 137 squadrons now in service had attached to It one or several new and extraordinarily heavy bombing pianes.

The number of these for mldable craft was belne kept secret. Anti aircraft "groups' were oeing expanded until many now included whole reeiments of artillery. ine German navy acquired 23,000 new tons during the past year. The 183,000 tons now under construction and due for compl tion this year include a 33.000 ton cruiser, two of 26,000 tons, one of lu.ouu tons, two aircraft carriers, and 18 torpedo boats of which six will be 1.600 tons each and the others 12,600 tons.

INrr 'f Yw By GEORGE BROOKE Buying a hat should not be merely a matter of getting a covering for the head. Of course, there is always the important factor of getting a hat that Is becoming, but there are two other factors which should be considered. One is the quality of the felt and the other is the type of overcoat with DOUBLE BILL AT LYCEUM IN FOURTH WEEK Entering its fourth consecutive week at the Lyceum theatre, the Bobby Breen picture, "Rainbow on the River," and the action story, "The President's Mystery," will continue until Wednesday evening of next week. This makes a Winnipeg record for length of run oi a double bill.

Bobby Breen is given more opportunities to use his brilliant voice in "Rainbow on the River" which heads this bill. He is heard in such beautiful numbers as Stephen Foster's "Ring, Ring de Banjo," "Old Folks at Home" and "Camptown Franz Schubert's "Ave the traditional hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy," as well as the hymn from Von Flotow's "Stra the negro spiritual "Waitin' for the Sun," "The Flower Song" and the catchy theme number, "Rainbow on the River." The history of the creation ot "The President's Mystery" is an interesting story in Itself. When dis cussing mystery plays with Fulton Oursler, editor of Liberty Maga zine, President Roosevelt explained that the kind of mystery story that he held in the back of his mind was one based along these lines: "Can man, who has achlev ed great wealth, disappear completely in a successful attempt to get away from it ail 7" When the Screen By GEORGE BROOKE which it will be worn. A fiat gets as much hard wear and tear as a pair of shoes. It is exposed to all sorts of weather conditions, ranging from sun to snow and rain, in addition to the spots and stains caused by soot from the chimneys.

And there isn't a man who doesn't resent the practice of checkrooms the world over that of Liberty editor proposed to allow the six most famous authors in the land to develop this story for his magazine, Mr. Roosevelt consented. Capitol Has Attractive Three Feature Program The threefold attraction at the Capitol theatre, opening today, comprises "God's Country and the Woman" and "The Plot Thickens," ns the features, and a short subject, "Every Sunday," presenting the sensational young singing star, Deanna Durbln, Winnipeg born, who scored so well in the recently exhibited photoplay, "Three Smart Girls." "God's Country and the Woman" presents many spectacular scenes among which is the flight of runaway train plunging into a gorge and forming a gigantic log jam and the dynamiting of the jam to set free timber that must be at tidewater by a certain date. It is said that more than a hundred movie technicians journeyed twelve hundred miles from Hollywood to a point near Longvlew, Washington, to build a railroad of their own for the runaway scene. They were forced to Iny cable for more than a mile to carry electric current Into the forest for the cameras and sound equipment The color is a natural as the talk, and the gorgeous forest scenes etT3 the nearest approach possible to a trip to the great northwest.

Chilling mystery and hilarious comedy are offered picture patrons In RKO Radio's new detective thriller, "The Plot Thickens," which again brings to the screen the sleuthing talents of Inspector Piper and Hlldegarde Withers, The noted team of crime solvers Smart Dressers Need Right Hat piling hats one on top of the other. Not only are the shapes of the crowns of both hats spoil ed, but almost Invariably, the crown of the lower hat Is stained by the head band of the hat placed over It Hence the necessity of buying a good hat which can withstand many trips to the cleaner. Certain types of overcoats call for certain types of hats. The single or double breasted Chesterfield and the Guards coat call for a hat of the more formal type, such as a Homburg or derby. Either of these Is a good choice for the loose fitting box coat, although a hat similar to the Homburg, but with a welt edge instead of one bound with silk, Is better.

In this connection, it should be noted that the snap brim hat which has been universally popular during the last few years has given way to the hat whose brim is not snapped down in front, as shown in the lower illustration. However, for general sport and country wear and with the great coat or heavy winter ulster, it still holds Its own. Hats should not be treated carelessly and thrown about A soiled, battered looking hat detracts from the personality of the wearer. Hats should be brushed every day and sent to the cleaner when necessary. When the hat band becomes stained it should be replaced by a new one.

The cost is very little when compared to the impression a man makes in wearing a hat that Is as Immaculate as his linen. is portrayed by James Gleason and ZaSu Pitts, who find themselves tangled in the baffling plots of a group of international crooks, bent on stealing the priceless Cellini cup from a museum. Two killings lead up to the attempted theft, but after a series of exciting adventures, the detective duo catch up with the criminals in a thrilling finish.
