Amsterdam, Oct 11.-During the de-
bate in the reichstag yesterday, Depu
ty Conrad Hausemann said the decla.
ration of DR.. Won kuehlmann, the for.
eign secretary, that apart from Alsace.
Lorraine there is no absolute bar to
peace, was tantamount to a definite
understanding that Belgium should be
given up.
"That should be heralded forth to
all the nations" the deputy added.
Gustav Stresemann, national lib
eral, said he would not oppose re-
duction of armament, but he thought
disarmament hardly was practical poll
tics.
Count Won Westarp, a conservative,
thought that Germany's answer to the
pope ought to have made clear that
Germany would not undertake to dis
arm, and hoped that Won Kuehlmann
had not tied himself to yielding up
Belgium.
The reichstag probably will take a
decisive step forward in regard to the
question of Alsace.Lorraine within a
few days, the Vossische Zeitung Of
Berlin says. The reichstag majority
supports the idea of a formation Of a
monarchial state with parliamentary
guarantees. The newspaper believes
that this plan also is favored by the
imperial government, which has aban-
doned the scheme of dividing Alsace-
Lorraine between Prussia and Ba-
varia.

John A. Stewart, of New York

announcement of the Centenary plans
early in 1909, German and Irish Amer

AMERICANS GET
GREAT TRAINING
WITH Biz Guns
Heavy Artillery Of Every Calibrc
and Type Used by sammies
on French Front
PREPARING THOROUGH
SCHOOL AT HOME

American Training Camp in France,
Oct 10. (Delayed.)-Not far behind
the American field artillery, which has
been in training in rugged section
Of France for the last two months,
have come the men of the "heavies.'
They are veteran gunners and greet
ed almost as comrades the monster
French weapons they are now groom
ing for use against the Germans.
Guns Of Many Types.
Some of the guns with which the
American artillerymen are training
are wonderful and ponderous exam
pies of the French gunmakers' skill.
In caliber, the guns range from the
short, squat mortars, which sit upon
their launches like giant frogs, up
through the various members of the
Howitzer family to the sinister naval
rifles, with their long tapering bar
rels.
Men Of Long Experience.
Most of the heavy gunners are men
of long experience, and do not need
much practice before taking their
places in the line. They have been
surprised to find that speed is not a
great factor. These heavy weapons
are used for destructive purposes and
there is no special need for haste
when dealing with defenses that can
not run away. Accuracy is the great
goal of all heavy gunners. 1t is pre-
dicted that all the old time gunners
will make splendid officers in active
service.
PREPARING HOME SCHOOLS.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 11.-Courses
for the great military schools at dlvl-
sional training camps have been
mapped out as carefully as are those
of colleges. The whole scheme OF the
16 weeks courses to its minutest de-
tail is based on what General Per-
shing and his officers have learned on
the other side. 1t will be varied as
new lessons are learned at the fight
ing front.
Uniformity Sought.
The plan is calculated to produce in
fantry divisions uniformly organized,
equipped and trained and will cut
down materially the training time
abroad. The first division to reach
France will need but few weeks
of additional instruction to fit it for
duty at the front 49,
