ss A...sl.tss Pros.

Paris, March 27-Three thousand, five hundred three-inch field guns have been found by the interailied commission in the vicinity of Berlin clone, and altogether 12000 of these guns have thus far been discovered throughout Germany. as we'll as 5000 .airplanes intact.
 According to the terms of the treaty of Versailles, the German army should TOW have only 204 three-inch guns and no airplanes whatsoever.
 These discoveries and other informa- tion in possession Of the French au- thorities have caused considerable skepticism here, as for the reason given for the request of the Berlin government that 1t be permitted to send troops into the neutral and oc- cupied zones.
 The fact that the request came be- fore the Germans had execut ed any material caluse of the treaty, although the time limit has expired on some three score of it's provisions. is de- clared in French official circles as lay ing the Germans open to suspicion of making another move in efforts to avoid the carrying out of the engage ments they entered into at Versailles. Particular significance is attached by the French to the discovery of the guns. in view of the fact that the Ger. mans. in communication to the al- lied commission 10 which their excess of war material should have been de- ,ivered by March 10. said that it made no difference whether this material be delivered or destroyed, and that they preferred to destroy it. Thus far, how ever, 1t waS stated by a high official here today no evidence had been ob- tained by the commission of any de- struction of material by the Germans Lists have been furnished. it was said but it has been impossible to verify them up to this time. as Premier Mill lerand declared yesterday in the cham Ter Of deputies
 NAVAL FORCES INTACT
 The delivery of submarines has only been partly executed while nothing li4s been done regarding the delivery of arms andNmunitions or demobiiiza- ton of the naval forces. Some of these questions, such as the emission of Londs, under consideration by the reparations commission, require q great deal of negotiation. but it Is held Fly the French that with regard to Ikther matters the Germans have raised Fall sorts of difficulties with the ob- ject of gaining time in the hope of evading fulfillment of them.
 The point on which the French are declared 10 be most sensitive at this tsmei is the hoh-ueHseFy oi coai as provided in the peace treaty. The treaty fixed the maximum at 20 900. o00.0oO tons year. but the repara l tfons commission fixed the annual ] amount of 10 400. 900 tons on the basis of Germany's production In the month of December Deliveries however, fell ] from 100000 to 150.ooo monthly ! This is held to be good proof that it is Germany's intention to evade her :. ohligations. as her ability to deliver {! sc0 GOO tons a month was determined { bv the repsrations commission. I It is said in official circles that either tte occupation of the Ruhr val i ley by German troops or the orRa niza : tion Of separate government there
 would have as an ultimate effect fl
