even when the Germans come will
there be a weekend more important

in few days. Already the council
of ten has entrusted to commissions
their conclusions In the form oi
articles capable OF insertion into the
treaty, and by the time President
Wilson arrives in Paris the military
and naval conditions will have been
settled. II is an open secret that
Premier Lloyd George considers dis
armament the touch stone Of confer

towards Germany in this respect is
merely the first step In a general
policy Of pacification tending to lead
to disarmament in all countries.
Democrats will do well to close
their ranks in support of the good
things which the conference offers,
rather than waste effort on barren
criticism OF faults. There are sub
stantial reasons for believing that the
Paris conference will furnish the
foundations of a better Europe"
The Paris correspondent Of the

THE British government has ful-
filed the mandate 1t accepted from
parliament and the country to do its
utmost to procure such abandonment
OF the system of conscription on the

sity for compulsion as the base OF
our own military establishment.
THE principle has been adopted at
Paris. and the details win be dis
cussed on the basis of new report
from Marshal Foch.

chief OF field artillery for duty. Brig.

The change in command OF the bu-

said at the war department last night
was a natural development OF reduction
in that branch of the service. Very
large cuts already have been made In
the personnel of the aviation service

fitted. He was called to the director
