Germany is no longer attempting to

hoping by some miracle to face the
world again. in the opinion of allied
military experts and observers. Stories
that Germany is supporting 100000
soldiers in secret organizations for this
purpose are contrary to facts.
That opinion was confirmed by con-

dent that it was folly for a practically
disarmed Germany to dream OF facing

Without arms extensive military oper-

mean that Germany has renounced the
idea Of rebuilding her army despite the
Allies. Freitag LoringEoven said that
Germany must have an army to meet
her defensive needs. This means, ac-
cording to German military circles. an
army of some 100000. Such an army
would, according to the opinion here,
suffice TO face the Poles and to main

Gen. Pershing to-day on behalf OF
the United States paid the highest
tribute to Frances heroic dead by piac-
ing the Congressional Medal Of Honor
on the tomb of the unknown soldier
under the Arc de Triomphe. and the
Socialist section OF tine French press
took the opportunity to criticise the ac-
ton. The Oeurre one Of the most
widely read morning journals. complains
bitterly against the continued militarist
manifestations, such as the one ar
forded by Gen. Pershings presence. de-
claring that military Officials in France
under the guise of sentimental tribute
to the unknown poilu are carrying on
imperialistic propaganda which the pub
lie would not permit ordinarily.
How long is this going to con-
tinue?" asks the OeuOre. "The un-
known soldier has won the right to
eternal rest. We should not play thus
with our dead"
While the majority of the newspapers
praise the sentiment underlying the
weekly visits to the Arc de Triomphe
the feeling is growing rapidly that the
nations selection Of one unidentified
soldier to represent the glory OF the
French army is proving unwise and
likely to give an opportunity for ad-
vancing militarist doctrines instead Of
holding out a lesson of peace to the
survivors of the war.

the Deutyohe AIlgemeiae Zeatun0.
DR.. Stresemann argues that the fact
that the document Is only a framework
on which the real treaty must be built,
and that severe limitations are imposed

suppress undue jubiation on the part OF
Germany and only lessen the political
and economic tension, pending formal

tion Of diplomatic relations.
DIR. Stresenann particularly objects to
the American stipulation regarding Ger-
man property held In America, presum-
ably as a guarantee for claims which
Americans may bring. He thinks this
needless precaution, since Germany Is
already taxed for her indemnities to the

pay.
