Berlin's reply to the allied note re-
garding the disarmament of Germany's
civilian guard organizations is taken
here as another proof that, lacking
the expected safety in membership in
the League of Nations and with Anglo
American support, in the event Of
aggression against France, a matter
to be decided when the necessity
arises. France cannot be expected to
reduce her armament, but must seek
strong military alliances which will
assure the national security.
The Petite Parisiene admits that I'VE
cannot henceforth have a blind con-
fidence in the League of Nations. We
are only prudent in counting above all
on n military organization TO protect
US against all new aggressions. as
well as count on the alliances we made
during the war"

RED CROSS REPORTS
ON VETERANS SUICIDE
Death of John Hoar, Cripple,
Due to Dependency.

Through the Chicago Chapter Of
the American Red Cross, some here
tofore unpublished details were OBJ
tained yesterday regarding the suicide
on September OF John Hoar. legless
Canadian veteran. This chapter was
unaware of Hoar's plight because OF
the fact that he had served with the
troops OF the Dominion. but e made
an investigation upon receipt OF an in
quiry from a reader of THE NEW YORK
HERALD. who took particular interest in
the account of the soldiers death
While the Red Cross chapter reports
that Hoar's disability allowance Of SIS
a month had not been entirely cut off
as ives said at the time OF his suicide,
II dlscloses nevertheless lamentable
case which IL IL now too late TO rem
cdy.
Hoar according to letter signed
By Mrs. Lewis NJ Brown, executive
secretary of the Chicago chapter. IN
reply to the readers inquiry. had been
notified that his income from the Can
adam Government would revert to $50

earnings and the help he would receive
from the American Volunteers OF the
Canadian Expeditionary Forces. repre-
sentatives OF the Canadian Government
in Chicago he would have been able
to get along on.
From this IL appears that Hoar's
wife. who sacrificed herself by marry
ing him after he had been returned

cheney in his disability allowance from
her small earnings.
The letter adds that His was case
