impossible to prevent continuation OF
Germany's shooting and turnverein
organizations, which in the past Were
only thinly disguised military train
ing centers. Germany, the French
point out, could disguise the turn
vereins and use them as schools for
privates, with the volunteer army as
an officers university. Thus, should
the allies consider Germany di5
armed and proceed to disarm them
selves, Germany would at once be-
come an immense standing peril.
History. It is emphasized has
proven that Germany may be expect
ed to turn any set OF conditions to
her maximum advantage. 1t is re-
called that in the early Napoleonic
era, when her army was limited to
little more than police force, she
trained an entirely new army each
year. with the result that she was
able to place formidable force in
the field when the opportunity came.
The French press generally pre-
fers to have ,conscription retained In
Germany under allied control. Ii the
allies decide, to establish the volun-
teer system, the newspapers express
the hope that the league OF nations
will exrcise the most drastic super
vision over Germany's war-making
facilities.

PARIS, March 13.--Within five
years after peace is signed, Germany
will be able to throw full officered
army of several millions in the field
providing the allies impose the vol
unteer system on that country--ac-
cording to the belief expressed In
French military and official circles
today.
The French regard the proposed
volunteer system, providing for a
Germany army of 100000, as a "po-
tential and stupendous Saint Cyr
(the French West Point).
They declare Germany could easl
ly maneuver the system SO as to per
NIT only officer material to enter the
standing army, which would become
in reality only an officers training
school, yielding after four or five
years the equivalent Of 100000 West
Pointers.
These would be sufficient to com
mand an army Of ten million.
France cannot forget there are
several million comparative young
sters in Germany who can already
be regarded as veterans. In addition
it is feared the twelve-year term OF
enlistment would encourage young
men to make army life their profes'

President Wilson Expected to

To Explain Attacks Made on This
Side by Stating Those

Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 13.-That
President Wilson will make a public
statement soon on the attitude Of the
American people toward the league OF
nations covenant is the convictions Of
his advisers here.
Shortly before departing for France,
the president declared he probably
would make such statement after
he arrived In Paris or possibly In
response in greetings at Brest, where
in he would attempt to clarity any
confusion in European opinion, result
ing from attacks on the league IN the
United States.
The president at the time said
such a statement probably would
prove necessary to offset the effect
of reports ON events here during his
short soiolrn in Washington.
Secretary Tumulty today denied re-
ports from Paris that censorship was
holding up news of those opposing
lthe league to prevent 1t reaching the
i peace conference.
There is absolutely no American
| censorship on this news Tumulty
said, "and I know OF no foreign gov
ernment censorship"
The president in his statement is
expected to declare that the people
of the United States are back of him
in the plan to establish league OF
nations and that senators opposing
Ithe plan are not truly representatives
of the beliefs of their constituents.
The president is known to have
taken with him many Endorsements OF
1.-THE covenant from representative
men. At the same time he is expected
to point out that the republican par
ty, as a party, has not taken stand
against the covenant.
No information was forthcoming to-
day from officials close to the presi-
dent as to whether he plans to sub
NIT to the peace conference any Of
the amendments suggested while he
was In this country.
| At the same time officials had no
advice as to whether the peace con-
ference during the presidents alb
sence had separated in some measure
the covenant from the formal peace
treaty as reported or as to what ac-
ton the president would take if this
had been done.
