FRANCE FEARS
MASTERY Of THE

BY FREDERICK MOORE.


copyright. 1919, by N. Y. Tribune. Incl
PARIS, April lit is impossible 10
disguise the terrible anxiety to which
the whole Of the French people arc a
prey as the final week for the discussion
Of the treaty Of peace begins. The
press Of the country has been unanl-
nous in setting forth conditions neccs-
sary to save Franco, and one does not
have to read between the lines TO know
that the people fear that they are to be
! ground between the two Anglo-Sa1on
millstoncs.
Your correspondent talked at length
great ability and liberal outlook. who
spoke with entire frankness only on the
promise that his name would not De
used.
You will hear sometimes foolish
statements that Germany has really
won the war;" he said. "Of course she
hnsn't-but neither has France. Two
nations only can be said to have won
/ the war, In the sense that they have
/ emerged from 1t with benefits moro than
| countcr-balancIng their losses. The
| first Is the United States. which has
| lcaped to position greater In power
and influence than any nation ever ha1
had in all the history Of mankind
Second. there Is Great Brltaln. FOR
merly the German naval power had been
utilized ns a basis for establishing IA
; grip upon tho commerce Of the world.
! Tho war ruined that possibility and
| tended to strengthen the maritime posi-
! ton which Britain has held for CEN
turtles.
There is feeling Of terrible un-
easincss abroad-a feeling that the
Ambassadors arc hanging together at
the expense Of the Latin. There Is
common knowledge that France to-day
! can practically do nothing without the
financial aid Of the allies, and there Is
a horrible suspicion that this financial
mastery ie being used to constrain her
to passivity when she Is crying out for
vigorous measures"

Bic AIR FORCES
PROVIDE IN
ARMY'S: PLANS

WASHINGTON. April Army rs cor
department is now working, IT was
learned today. provides FOR o an ar HG
in actual commission and u minimum
available reserve OF 3.400 additional
planes. This is based upon the proposed
military establishment Of 100000 men
in which total the air service personnel
will be 1928 officers and "1.S53 men,.
The organization tables show that the
air forces n peace basis will DC com
priscd of s. service squadrons of when
~ will be assigned to coast defense
work in the United States and lnsular
possessions; 90 will be pursuit squad
rons and IS Observation and and D o3TnIane
squadron Includes Is planes in service
and their personnel.
Tho tables also call for. the mainten-
to three wings Of fourteen companies
each.
The general plan Of the army rcor-
ganization calls for q divisions. inciud-
to be formed into five army corps, cach
| to be commanded by n lieutenant zen,
eral. To each corps will be nttacheo
| tivo observation and bombing squadrons
Of airplanes and four pursuit squadrons
representing II wing formation for each
type Of machine.
The effect OF this will be to give tho
| air service definite recognition ny the
fourth arm Of the line, or combat FORCES
, Of the army.
| The production OF planes has exceeded
the storage capacity Of aviation fields
The war department Is now negotiating
with airplane builders for the disposal
Of all training and q considerable num-
Der of service machines for which II has
no present or indicated future use nor
place of storage
! Surplus machines are said to form q
separate problem. There is no general
market for the extra planes and the
only offers received have been for rela.
lively small numbers and at prices that
mean to the government tremendous
loss on Its investment. There Is nc
reason to expect, 1t is said. that even a
tenth Of their cost can be salvagcd. Pro
badly planes that cost $4,000 or more
will not bring more than $1,000.
