LONDON PAPERS
 COMMENT UPON
 OUR ARMY PLAN
Thinks Increase in Ameri can Forces May Wreck
 League of Nations.

London, Aug. 21.-The undercur- rent of discussion over Americas plans to increase her peace time army and institute compulsory service has been brought to a head in England by Lloyd Georges warning that If those who promoted the League of Nations increase their armaments then the League will be a sham"
 Opponents of the League declare the plans of the United States to in crease her army may wreck the League and shatter European con- fidence in Americas sincerity.
 Tt Is particularly piquant." says the Globe, "to find the Premier rounding off Wilson over the League question and the increase of arma- ments, suggesting the latter factor will turn the League covenant into a scrap of paper. We never expected 1t would be anything else, but frank ly we did not foresee that one of it's foremost apostles would be so eager to turn and rend at the first oppor- tunity."
 The Evening Standard was of the opinion the Premier gave a significant hint to the United States on the ques- ton of armaments.
 we are ready to cut down ours '' the newspaper said, "and other na- tons, especially those who promoted | the League, should follow suit"
