FRENCH ARMY MAY

Standing at Attention Likely

French soldiers hereafter may not be
compelled to salute generals like Maistre
and Segonne and even Marshal Franchet
d d'Esperay while bands play the Mar
seillalse." the belief being that the
American custom of standing at atten-
ton is just as patriotic and certainly not
as wearing on the nerves Of troops who
are already tired after long ceremonials.
This IS only one of many changes con-
templated in the French manual as a
result of contact between French and
khaki and olive drab clad soldiers. and
it is probable that the whole French
infantry and cavalry drills will be inter-
nationalized If the suggestions Of writers
like Col. Mayer and Gen. Sarrail for the
regeneration of the army gain the sup
port of the General staff.
Gen. Sarrail is advocating changes
even more sweeping than those recon-

He would limit the service of recruits
to ten months but this would be train

after which the soldiers would be re-
turned to civil employment, but assigned

the ablest soldiers would be retained in
the groups and they would be subject to
emergency calls, the remainder to be
modified for service In munition fac
tories and the transport or auxiliary
services.
The woman employees In such
branches would be put on war basis
and be subject to court martial II they
failed to heed the nations call for help
against an enemy.
But Gen. Sarrails views are likely 10
provoke more opposition than approval.
az he suggests a reduction In the officer
cadres to tho lowest possible minimum,
and would give territorial officers, al
though not regulars. the same opportu-
nifty to assume high commands as he
would give to professional soldiers.

Paris. May FL.
Germany's preparations to turn out
commercial airplanes by the thousands
as soon as the Treaty Of Versailles per-
mits continue to give the French avia-
ton and motor worlds bad fright. So
grave is the apprehended danger Of a
German air invasion looming in the
minds of some ordinarily far-seeing in
dustrial leaders that they are urging
that the treatys arrangement regard
ing commercial airplanes be changed
and stricter terms handed Germany
which would prevent absolutely any
competition of this sort with either
French or British airplane makers.
Andre Michelin, the French tire king.
is foremost among those foreseeing
Paris destroyed before breakfast some
morning by a fleet of many thousands
of German airplanes transformed from
peaceful pursuits during the night by a
genius like that of Hindenburg.
"Think Of it." he told members of the
French Aero Club this week. with a
slight effort German factories can turn
out $4,000 commercial airplanes year.
And as Germany intends to do air
business with the United States, her
ayiators will have to fly across France
to get there. In a short while they will
know all about our vital points. They
will have captured the secrets OF our
wireless stations and will probably have
flying grounds on the sea coast to
facilitate their so-called commercial re-
lations."
NJ Michelin Insists that Germany's
peace time planes will be the same
type as war planes. in fact he says,
some German factories are still building
war planes with all the war features
such as bomb throwers. machine guns
and sheltered lookouts and pilots as
sistants---then before allied officers start
inspections these useful appliances al e
removed and apparent commercial In
ventions such as pulleys for lowering
packages are installed in their places.
"They have all the elements neces-
sary." says NJ Michelin. Ito change
from peace to war in a single night and
can destroy Paris before we could get
a protective organization working effec-
lively. The only method for security
is TO watch Germany carefully and the
moment she fails TO observe the slightest
pledge to tell her that she has broken
the contract and therefore 1t no longer
exists AS a new condition We must
then force her to agree not to build a
single airplane either military or COM
mercial'
The question of how TO control these
German commercial airplanes so that u
will be impossible readily to transform
them into instruments of war again was
taken UP by the Council Of Ambassadors
this week. Hugh C. Wallace. the Ameri-
can Ambassador. was present at the
meeting. Experts of the different allied
countries who have been investigating
the matter separately now will meet te
consider the problem together.

Once again the modern girl-who
hovers supremely indifferent-comes
under heavy fire. At the Western Di-
visional Council OF the National Fed
Grafton Of Brotherhoods held in Bristol
the young woman of to-day was
charged with casting off the RESPONSE
billties of home. She was styled as
hussy out for a good time and unfit
for the responsibility of citizenship.
Mrs. Annie Rose said they We're not
getting the girls to attend Bible classes
Sunday schools or what might be called
old fashioned meetings. She said the
greatest problem of the elder women
was to show younger ones how to live
correctly.
1t was the consensus of the meeting
that sentimental appeal was a failure
and that 1t was useless to hold up high
ideals of responsibility and womanhood
because the younger women did not
understand those ideals and could not
appreciate them.
Some argument must first be found
to keep young girls pure. the meeting
unanimously decided, without consider
ing that there is any difference In the
status OF purity to-day and as 1t was
fifty years ago. 1t was determined
that the only way to save the modern
girl was to lead her back along the
paths OF the Victorian period ard show
her she must again mount the pedestal
where men look up to her and not con-
tinually climb down and mix with the
very men whose habits she deplores IL

Partridge Season Next Tuesday.

( The partridge hunting season
opens next Tuesday, October I,
and for FIVE DAYS, or until Saturday,
October s, it will be lawful to hunt
the birds, provided you have taken
out a license. The bag limit is
FIVE day, or FIVE birds in your
possession at any time.
Since the season comes during
week days, no Sunday being in
cluded, the fellow who cannot get
off during work days is out of luck
II looks as though the season was
fixed for benefit of anybody but the
working man However, with
many men out of work or only
working part time OH account of
the industrial depression it may be
expected that an army of hunters
will be in the woods these five
days.
The general opinion seems to be
that cartridges are plentiful, due to
the season being closed for five
years. However, the reports are
largely exaggerated. Partridges
are not as plentiful as they have
been in years past and after the
slaughter this fall there will pro-
badly be but a few birds left, with
the result that the season will have
to he closed again for number of
years. The reports of lots of
cartridges come largely from those
who have seen a few coveys here
and there along the road in their
automobile ramblings. The tales
that the birds are so numerous that
autoists have to stop III order to
keep from running them down are
unwarranted and are misleading
i'll the impression that the woods
are full of the game birds.
