Soldiers in Short Training.

Gen. Lanrezac. former professor in

mander OF the French 5th Army, con-
siders that excellent soldiers can be
made in from six to ten months of
training. He says that one years
service would keep about 100000 men
under colors-that is to say. about
the same number of troops Germany
will be authorized to maintain. He
thinks that the colonial army should
be composed of volunteers with high
er pay. AS an alternative to the one
year service he suggests the possibil-
ity of the Swiss system. But in
either case" he says, "it goes with
out saying that the spirit which ami
mated the men raised in this war
the spirit of clear-sighted duty, of
freely consented sacrifice of strong
will and patriotism must also animate
the new army. The old peace-time
errors must disappear. Every French
man must get rid of the state of mind
which made him consider military
service as Gehenna and must become
permeated with the ideas that the
first duty Of the citizen is military
service"

PARIS. France. June 23.-The ques-
ton of military service is beginning
to agitate France, which. on the one
hand, feels the necessity of a strong
army during the critical period fol-
lowing the war. and. on the other.
has urgent need Of keeping all its
young manhood engaged in produc-
tive occupations. Nobody proposes to
abolish universal service for every one
recognizes that it is the duty OF
every citizen to defend the country.
What is discussed is the length and
kind of service which will be re-
Quired.
1t will be recalled that the great
political issue just prior to the war
was the hree-year-service law. The
military party put this law into ef-
feet on the theory that it was neces-
sary to have more men actually un-
der arms for Immediate duty in case
of war. The liberals. led by Jean
Jaures. opposed it on the theory that
reserves could be mobilized almost
as quickly as troops already under the
colors could be set in motion and tha
the country should depend upon the
reserves rather than on the covering
troops.
