Tentative Army Limit.

In order to nave basis OF discus
sion the Americans, it is reported,
suggested an army of 100000 men, but
only because that was the number
mentioned in the first armistice pro-
posal.
The decision of the council to limit
Germany to a volunteer 12-year army
is regarded by the Americans as likely
to lead to it's review by the league
of nations when it takes up the sub
ject of the limitation of ornaments or
the policy of general prohibition of
conscript armies in all nations.
This is on the theory that the great
expense of regular long term armies
will be such as automatically to keep
down militarism.
The supreme council, in accordance
with the decision reached yesterday,
today closed the question of the rep
presentation of the small nations on
the economic and financial commits
sions by making the following ap-
pointments:
Economic Commission.-Repre
tiveS of Belgium, Brazil, China, Po-
land, Portugal, Roumania and Serbia.
Financial Commission.-Repr
tives of Belgium, Greece, Poland,
Czecho-Slovakia, Roumania, Serbia,
and one country to be named.
