GERMANS DESIRE
To INCREASE ARMY
WOULD DOUBLE THE PRESENT
ENROLMENT WITH APPROVAL
OF THE ALLIES.
San Reno Council is Informed That
an Increased Force is Necessary
for the Maintenance of Order
In the Interior.

Paris.-Germany has asked the in
terallied conference at San Reno to
increase from 100000 to 100000 men
the, standing army provided for Ger
many by the terms of the treaty of
Versailles.
The request was contained in note
handed to the French foreign office
on April q with the demand that it
be sent to the supreme council at San
Reno.
The note set forth that an increased
force was necessary for the mainte-
nance of order in the interior and
that, furthermore, the army would not
accept an order for its dissolution. Il
The note further requests that Ger
many be allowed to retain the entire
general staff and corps of officers,
which means the entire framework of
the active army.
Two other German notes were hand
ed to the foreign office at the same
time. The, first referred to the dis
~%'AANAhNAh VI bAlC SlNIS SudIuS. as uG-
manded by the allies. Germany on
April 10 presented this note, announc-
ing the decision to disband the guards
to General Nollet, head of the allied
commission of control in Berlin, and
it already has been made public.
The second note embodies, requests
that the reichswehr force in the neu-
trail zone should be fixed according to
the number of men, instead of the
number of units, and that Germany be
allowed to have eleven batteries of
artillery instead of two in the neutral
zone.
In French official circles the Ger
man requests are considered as merely
one more move in the systematic de-
Tense against the treaty of Versail-
les. 1t was pointed out that if Ger
many's requests were granted the Ger
man army would differ from the army
of 1914 is nothing but facility with
which the rank and file could be mobi-
liZed

Majority OF Mexican People.

Mexico Cltys-The development of
the last two weeks resulting from the
sonora revolutionary activities show
that the central government Is pre-.
pairing TO encircle the rebellious state
with steel ring. meanwhile crushing
sporadic outbreaks IN other parts Of
the republic with strong hand.
A summary of the situation since
the northern state broke with the Car
rama administration has been issued
by the war department officials. The
long list of professions Of adhesion to
the Carranza government from vir
tually every state executive and mil
itary leader, except those who have
openly joined the Sonora revolt, would
seem to Indicate thet the republic as
a whole Is solidly supporting the pres.
ent government.

AGREE ON ATTITUDE
TOWARD GERMANS
ALLIES TO ESTIMATE TOTAL
AMOUNT TO BE DEMANDED
FOR PREPARATION.
Further Delay Beyond May 10 May be
Accorded Germans to Submit Their
Estimates, But Quick Action
is Hoped For.

San Remo--A complete agreement
with respect TO the attitude the allies
shall adopt toward Germany in con
nection with the carrying out of the
peace treaty has been reached by Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Premier Miller.
and, it was stated here Saturday. The
agreement was reached during con
ference between the premiers lasting
three and a half hours.
The allies are reported to have de-
cided to proceed as soon as possible
to estimate the total amount TO be
demanded from Germany as repara.
ton.
The German government, it is stated
will be authorized to make sugges-
tions on this point.
With regard to arrangements for
dealing with Germany, it is explained
that the German chancellor will be
summoned later to confer with the al.
lies. The interview may possibly be
held in Brussels, before the interal-
lied financial conference in May.
Further delay beyond May 10 may be
accorded the Germans to submit their
estimates concerning PREPARATIONS, but
the allies wish, as rapidly as possible,
to estimate the sum due from Germany
in reparations in relation to her ca
pacity for payment, so as to permit
her to resume work for the fulfillment
of her engagements. .."
Premier Nitti of Italy, in an inter-
view granted the French newspaper
correspondents here, prophesied that
unless peaceful conditions were
brought back to Europe and the various
countries returned to work the world
would face direct catastrophes.
The American members of the repa-
rations commission and Sir John Brad
bury, the British member, arrived
here Saturday to give information re-
specting the possibilities of coal deliv-
cries by Germany. ..... .

WARSH|PS ORDERED
To MEXICAN WATERS
STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN TO
PROTECT AMERICANS IN WAR
STRICKEN REPUBLIC.
Two Warships Leave San Diego Har-
Dor for Southern Waters in Re-
Spouse to Earnest Request of
Americans for Protection.

Washington Is announced that
American government representatives
IN Mexico have asked for the dispatch
of warships to that country to pro-
tect American citizens and their prop
erty, and that the United States de-
stroyers Salem and McCawley have
left San Diego harbor for Mazatlan,
Mexico.
The requests came from Mazatlan
and Topolobampo, on the Pacific
coast, and Frontera on the Gulf coast.
The Atlantic fleet is at Guantanamo
bay in readiness should it become nee
essary to send warships to the Attain
tic coast in Mexico.
Adyices indicate that $50 Mexican
federal troops have arrived at Mazat-
Ian, but there have been no reports
of disturbances there, or at the other
two ports.
AT the Mexican embassay it was said
that the situation was such that there
would seem to be no need of Ameri-
can vessels being sent to that Sec
tiUn. -..
Preparations are also being made, it
Is learned, to send additional cruisers
and destroyers to both the east and
west coasts If the safety of Americans
becomes further endangered. No warn
ing to all Americans to leave Mexico
as was issued by the administration
In 1913 and 1915 has been considered
up to date by the president and his
advisers, 1t is stated.
The state department received tele-
grams from the American consuls at
Mazatlan and Topolobampa in Sinaloa
on the west coast, stating that Ameri-
cans at those ports and in the imme-
date vicinity are in great danger from
violence Incidental to the strife of the
warning factions and urging that WAR
ships be sent for their protection.
1t also was officially reported to the
state department that there is great
alarm among Americans throughout
the TuXpum oil region on the east
coast. Secretary Daniels said that the
Sacramento Is now at Tampico and in
the absence of a specific request from
the state department for increased pro-
lection on the east coast, he took no
steps to send reinforcements.
