Must Reduce Her Regular
Forces to 100000 by
March 81.

PROCEEDING SLOWLY
British Officers Report No Danger of
Warlike Aggression from
Germany Soon.

LONDON, Thursday.-Germany's armed
forces are estimated by the British War
Office to total close to one million men.
These are divided into the regular army
Of 100000. the land forces Of the regular
navy 1900, the armed constabulary 10000
to $4,000, the temporary volunteers or reg
ular army reserves i50, 900 to 200 900 and civic
guards 100000 to 100000. The figures with
regard to the last named branches are
rough estimates, the exact totals being
unknown.
Under the terms Of the peace treaty
Germany is compelled to reduce her reg
ular forces to 10000 by March 81, and the
number of gendarmes must not exceed
those functioning as military police in 1913.
The reduction of the regular army, In
compliance with the treaty obligations, is
proceeding although at slower pace than
originally was contemplated, owing to
the delay in ratification of the peace
treaty, the unsettled state of Germany
and the desire OF the German government
rot to increase the number Of persons un-
employed.
Quite apart from the British official
statement, but bearing on the subject, is
unofficial information brought to Eng
land from Germany by British army Of
ficers. The substance Of their report Is
summed up as follows:- ttW
There is no truth In the stories that
Germany has a secret, mobile army. Not
only are the German people war weary
and anxious for peace. but there is great
shortage OF war supplies. such as rubber.
petrol. coal. horses. and, In addition, the
rolling stock of the country is greatly
depleted. Manufacture of arms and rnu-
nitions is not going on in any large de-
gree. although it is probable that to force
the Germans to give up all the rifles stipu-
lated in the peace treaty will be impos-
sible since the concealment of arms Is
not difficult. There is no danger OF war
like aggression from Germany in the inn
mediate future. However, IL the Germans
are permitted to maintain volunteers and
civic guards these bodies would consti-
tute potential danger, as they would pro-
vide basic material for a big new army"
1t is stated in well informed circles In
London that the Allies will insist that
these military organizations be abolished.
1t is conceded, however. that the main
tenance Of a constabulary Is necessary to
protect property from hoodlums and or
ganized bodies OF thieves.
Army officers are said to believe that
considerable ground exists for Germany's
claim that she needs regular army OF
more than 10000, as this force would be
very small for a country so great In ex-
tent Many citizens of Germany as a
patriotic duty are said to be joining the
civic guards to protect themselves and
others as we'll as their property from dep
relations of criminals and from Spartacar
outbreaks. Numerous generals are among
the guards, including the famous Field
Marshal Won Kluck, who Is serving as a
private.

Marshal Foch adds that from the time

which belonged to France. and that this
was his dominant thought for years. To
that thought he attributes "a part Of his

Hang the Kaiset!" and Chase the Sui
tan from Europew were two of the best
war slogans. Now it is almost too well
known to repeat that the Allies are pray
ing that Holland will not surrender the
Kaiser, and some observers go so far as
to say that secret communications to that
effect have been sent to the Dutch Now
it is the turn OF the sick Man OF Eu-
rope"
The French, who fought bitterly against
the proposal TO give Constantinoplc "a
Russia, but were forced to Weld, again
are at bitter odds with the British, and
the French press is charging that the
views OF France were not pressed with
proper force when Premier Clemenceau
recently were in London.
