In the decision reached yesterday
in regard 10 the size of the German

Italy and Japan do not want conscrip-
ton to be abolished. but with the
British demanding &c II was all i'm.
portant that Premier Lloyd George
should deal the blow by eliminating
it from the Germany army. The plan
adopted is almost exclusively British
and marks a striking personal success
for the British Premier.
In the settlement Of this important
question America is described to-day
as having occupied "A position on the
side lines. Recognizing the demo-
cratic principle in CONSUMPTION she did
not urge the voluntary enlistment
plan but let Great Britain fight it out
with France and Italy. -'.-'" 20.
silent Also nv to Army.
Nor did the United States take an
active part in the finding as to the size
of the army that Germany is permit
ted to have. In fact the impression
was given that the American military
representatives were not altogether
satisfied with the wisdom of reducing
the German army to such a size. but
here again the British Prime Minister
insisted and won his point The great
question is, Can an army of such size,
reduced as II must be Immediately
upon signing of the treaty, cope with
the German internal situation? Amer
lea had a smaller army, but she had
also the National Guard for this pur-
pose.
The American military representa-
tives plainly do not expect the Ger
mans to accept the terms. but they be-
lieve that Germany will come back
with arguments which the Allies will
be forced to consider. A strong denial
was made to-day Of a report that the
Americans had recommended a Ger
man army of 400, 700 men, the explana-
tion being that the Americans metely
had put in this figure as basis for
discussion in the early stages Of the
consideration OF. this problem. All the
nations put in originally higher figures,
even those OF Marshal Foch being re-
duced by Premier Lloyd George.
May Affect Problem Here.
1t is foreseen here that the decision
yesterday may have some effect on
the question OF universal military
training in America, as tho Conscrip-
ton principle really is at the bottom
of this. The CONSUMPTION issue has
been tremendous one in Great Brit
ain. the Labdrites fighting strongly
against it. Nations like France and
Italy however, feel that the voluntary
principle may be a heavy burden to
them on account OF the much larger
pay required for Volunteers, all the ad-
vantage, resting with ,the richer. eoun-
tries.
Some of the French newspapers
doubt seriously il such an army as is
proposed for, Germany would be suffi-
Gent to guarantee order, and they
point out that Il would throw a heavy
burden on thetI.eague of Nations, for
IT would mean virtually that 1t would
have to assume charge of Germany.
They fear also that it will produce the
impression that France likewise should
disarm Immediately . whereas, they
maintain, the time to think about this
will be len years hence, when the re-
