he has many friends, NJ Sarraut drew
attention to a letter lying upon his
table with several bank notes in it for
French relief work.
Il have just received this from the

many such letters which l have re-
ceived. Many Frenchmen have received
letters of the same sort with substan-
tial aid for the people who need it
here. We feel that what we are fight
ing for is, after all. understood in
America, and that it is perceived there
that this is war between different
ideas of governmental war between
and democratic IDEAS
NJ. Sarraut referred to MS conviction
that the result of the war was to be
worked out mathematically from known
factors, which would insure victory,
but said the attainment of victory

Those Interested in Legislation
for the Army Want Report
Published.
UNDERSTOOD TO DIFFER
e.
FROM PRESIDENTS PLAN
Suggests Increase Of Regular Force
to 250,Go0 Men, With Reserves
Numbering 100000.

Special efforts are being made to in
duce the President to permit the immedi-
ate publication of the special report of
the General Staff Corps On the military
needs of the army, which, it appears.
differs materially from the administra-
tons continental army scheme. Recently
the President ordered that none of the
army or naval reports be published until
after he had submitted his message to
Congress, thereby reversing a lons-estab-
lished custom.
The general staff has made an ex-
haustive study of the problem of defend
ing the country and its insular posses
sions.
Recommendations Made.
Its report, it is understood, recon-
mends increasing the regular army 250, 900
men, permanently with the colors. and
with reserves OF 5000 fully trained men
10 fill gaps in this force. Behind this line
it is proposed to have a force Of a mil
lion men with at least years training,
giving the country an army CT about
100000 fully equipped and easily moDil-
lied.
The administration plan was pre-
pared by Secretary Garrison and a spe-
cial board of officers and officials after
careful scrutiny of the staff report. 1t
was decided that the staff proposals
were of such radical nature that
there virtually was no hope of getting
them through Congress. Various un-
official estimates have placed the cost
involved at more than twice that of
the continental army scheme. which
would reach a total of $560,000,000 in
six years. The first years expenditures
under the staff plan. it is said. would
approach 100000. 900, and the continu-
ing expense be proportionately heavy.
Differences Noted.
TIE staff estimates, it is said, would
require at least a year to make a SOL
dier fit to join the fighting line. The
continental army program contem-
plates only six months of hard train
ing, distributed in two-month periods
through three years. 1t was adopted to
diminish the expense and yet produce
a force of citizen soldiers nearly mil
lion strong to support the regulars. in
creased to approximately $4,000 from
the 100000 now in the service.

Germans Have Failed in Attempts
to Stir Trouble, According to
Noted Statesman.

PARIS. November 16.-Albert Sar-
raut, Frances great pro-consul in
1ndo-China, was packing minute
trunk when representative of the
Associated Press called to see him. He
was trying to stow into Il space of
three cubic feet, the maximum bag
gage space allowed a subaltern on ac-
tive service, all the things he will
need at the front. NJ Sarraut is just
retiring from the cabinet as minister
Of public instruction, and is going into
the trenches as a second lieutenant.
When he was administrator in the
east NJ. Sarraut had Ave generals un-
der his direction. His closing service
with the late ministry was to visit
Morocco as a special representative of
the government.
Says Morocco Enjoys Peace.
Morocco. strangely enough" said
NJ. Sarraut, "is now enjoying a peace
and ali order that has not been there
for centuries-not since the time OF
the great Moorish kings.
"One might have supposed that with
the Turks at war with France the
forces of Islam would be uneasy and
disposed TO make difficultieS for the
French administration. The larger part
of the French troops Withdrew at the
beginning of the war, and since then
military line of some one hundred
miles in length has been drawn in
front of the Atlas mountains, to which
the hostile tribes have retired.
"All the great sweep of country from
the coast to the Atlas range is in /,
state OF security and well-being. The
great Arab chiefs. some of whom dispose
of many as 10000 or 10000 horse
men. are working IN complete CO.
