Berlin, June At is but natural that
the. question Of international disarma-
ment excites more interest in Germany
than in Great; Britain, where it was
originally raised. The majority Of the
Berlin press declares against the plan,

Gray hit the nail on the head when he
urged that: the present was the time to
raise the question Of disarmament, be-
cause the superiority of the British
navy over the navies of other countries
is now greater than at any other time.
In these circumstances it would natur-
ally suit Great Britain to bring about
limitation of the naval expansion of
other countries. If England. says the
journal, ever made a proposal regard
ing disarmament, G ermany could only
reply by accepting the principle Of q
limitation of naval expansion on the
basis of an equality Of the fleets of all
the great powers. Germany might well
agree to the cessation Of naval expan-

FRENCH LABOR ASKS
A SHORT sat URDAY
Movement for Half Holiday
Gains Force Strike on
Seine Weakens.
snsoial Cable to The Journal.

Special Gable to The journal. d 49,
Paris, June 2.-France has not yet
had her full measure of labor troubles.
In nearly all the trades the demand for
what is called the English week, = or
a half holiday on Saturday, is becoming
more and more pronounced. The clerks
and shop assistants are supporting the
engineers, who were the first to put
forward the claim for early closing on
Saturday. It is pointed out that many
shops have to keep open part Of Sun
day because on that day alone are men
Of the working class able to make their
purchases. With Saturday half-holiday
generally adopted in factories there
would be no need for the shops in ques-
tion to open Sunday, and the employees
would obtain the full day g rest already
enjoyed in England.
The number of strikers in the de-
partment Of the Seine is showing a
considerable decrease from day to day.
This has resulted largely from the &C:
ton Of the directors Of the principal
automobile works, who informed the au,
their men would return to work if they
were assured Of escaping molestation
The directors accordingly requested the
| authorities to supply strong force OF
police and troops to surround the works
! and keep strikers away from the en-
| frances. Arrangements were made, &C
cordingly, and at one Of the larges
works $500 out Of $500, men went tt
1 work on the day Of the agreement. TIL,
j strikers, who hooted them vigorously
were kept at q distance by the troops
| The arrangements thus made will b
! continued as long as necessary.
