NY NABoTH HEpIN.

PARIS, March 12.-Thc question
OF the disarmament of Germany nd
u1ittedly has not yet passed the ex-
perimenta1 stage. Military experts
had originally proposed tho main
tenance of conscription Ms being
more democratic and Iess liable to
foster the military spirit within the
state.
The opposing argument was that
even q reduced term of obligatory
service would produce a large num-
ber of fairly STeli-trnined men whom
a stan OF noncommissiOncd officers
could whip into shape like a Ma
tional Guard. The real argument
against conscription, however, WINS
the British nvcrsIon to computation.
"The single word, 'conscription,'
says L'EchO dc Paris, "produccs a
magic effect among English crowds,
particularly at political rallies"
French writer's hicssed with semi
official Inspiration object that a pro-
fessional army OF 100,OOO men
trimmed for twelve years means that
many noncomm iSsiOned officers who
could quickly drill with elementary
school training, "unIcss watched
very closely" The talk nbout limit
ing the strength of the German
army to 1o0,O0O is purely guess
work, bused only on the desire 10
make the German army as smnlI rs
