OPPOSE BIG ARMY.
French Radicals Believe Industry
Will Be Crippled.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1920.
PARIS, November 13-With the. con-
tinuance of the present two-year
service law, the French army, incIud-
ing the colonials, will number $50 900
men. Radicals and even a certain
number of moderates consider that
the country, having lost some 1.4O0,-
900 men killed in war. and having
100000 men more or less crippled.
can ill afford a peace regime which
takes so many men out of production.
For this reason. g. movement is on
foot which aims to reduce the period
of service and seeks to replace men
by perfected material. This question
of army organization is one of the
most important the chamber of depu-
ties will now have to face.
