Paris March G-An appeal to the peo-

patriotic sacrifices called for by the new
military bill increasing the term OF SER
vice IN the active army TO three years in
stead Of TWO was made to-day when the
Cabinet submitted the measure TO Paria-
ment.
When the bill was laid on the table or
the Chamber Of Deputies ii was accom-
panied By a declaration from the ministry
expressing the profound conviction that
the proposal must be adopted. not only for
the security of France, but for the peace
0. Europe, which depended entirely on
The equilibrium of the great nations Of
Europs being maintained
The government did not endeavor in
any way 10 conceal the fact that heavy
task VAS about TO be laid upon the French
people. whose clear vision and patriotism
would in the governments opinion un-
doubtedly overcome all hesitations and all
contingencies.
Tho measure Will add to the peace f.
fectivc Of the French army $4,000 men

since greater care is 10 be exercised in
the selection Of recruits. The system Of
two years service, which has been in eX-
i.ience since 1866. has. according TO the
government. proved insufficient for the
complete training of the men, while the
decrease in the birth rate in France also
tends 10 make an additional year neces-
tary If France is to maintain an adequate
defence
Some exceptions 20 the general rule are
made In the bill. as youths belonging TO
