conference reconvenes. here today.
The German request for fifteen
months time in which to disarm was
met by flat refusal.
The disturbed German Internal
situation was given as reasons for
the delay sought.
When Premier Lloyd George asked
the German foreign minister why one
million armed men and two million
rifles in Germany were still unac
counted for. Herr Simons reminded N
the British premier that many men men
we're armed in Ireland, despite orders
Of the British government that they
disarm.
General Won Seeckt, chief OF the
German general staff, declared that
il the German army was materially
reduced Ii would be impossible to
collect the rifles in the hands OF SOL
diers and former soldiers in outlying
districts. He then said Germany
could make delivery of the rifles
within one year providing the allies
allowed the government to effecs a
gradual reduction in the number or
troops.
General Won Seeckt met with Mar
shall Foch today for discussion OF
methods for demobilizing the German
forces. Results Of the meeting will

Herr Simons declared the German
government was faced with three

danger of bolshevism in Germany
and the impossibility of meeting

every effort to meet her obligations
under the treaty, and asked that the
allies continue occupation of neutral
zones. Simons admitted that arms
were being smuggled into Germany,
saying all attempts to disarm volun.
teers had thus far failed. He said
the government had not resorted to
force to obtain these arms, as 1t
feared the results of such action. He
said there were now 1880 trench
mortars in Germany, all OF which
could be, turned over to the allies
within one year He said the German
electives could be reduced to l90'-
900 men by October 10, 1920; to 1so,-
600 by January. 1921; to 100000 by
April; to 10000 by July, and to 10O,..
600 by October, 1921 He requested
that Germany be permitted to retain
900 surgeons, 750 additional military
officers and $4,000 rifles in excess OF
the treaty terms.

leader, and repres entatiye OF the ANTI

ton Of his position on the prohibition
issue.
In a telegram from San Francisco
HObSon declared that a statement
from Cox to the effect that he was cp-|
posed to any increase in the maxi,
mum alcoholic content of one half per
cent would save to democracy mil.
lions of voters who hold this question
above party success"
The democratic nominee said that
he expected to answer II. .bson and
the league later in the day and indi-
Gated that he did not expect to dodge
the issue.
Hobson's telegram follows:
Dry forces are reStiVe. Republic
cans amongst them are applying to
Harding for strong statement. Do not
let these forces have cause to crystal
ize on the highest republican candi-
dates. Ninetylfiye per cent of popu-
lation of America live in states that
have ratified eighteenth amendment
without reservation. They are jeal-t
Gus of its integrity. Supreme court in
unanimous decision warned congress
against authorizing increase in alco-
holic contents. National officers of
Anti-Saloon league here have asked
me to get statement from you. They
cite that Harding voted for Volstead
act. Could you give me clear state
ment of your being opposed to federal
of increasing alcoholic
content? This would save to democ-
racy millions of voters who hold this
maya p
