that Prussia had been disarmcd by Napoleon and added:
 But she found her place on the battlefield, How could we forget that? They often say that the French people arc frivolous, that when danger is past we turn our minds away. But wc do not forget the dircful lessons of the war Too many homes are in mournins Too many men are in the streeta. Even if we wanted to forget we could not"
 Must Protect Herself.
 Declaring France must protect her self M, Brland asked;
 What about the rest Of Europe Apparently 1t is at peace. But there are certain volumes of smoke which indicate that the fire has not been eX- tnguished, l dare say this The fire is smouldering and if France hadn't had an army war would have broken out again.
 How About Russia.
 How about Russia? Millions of men there actually are boiling over with anarchy, They have big army Who can say what Will happen there, A year and q half ago Russia tried to rush through Poland and we had then a terribly anxious hour. If the barrier had not been good where would France and the rest of Eur ope be now?"
 Many Many Problems.
 There are go many problems we do not know how to turn. But the greatest problem of all is that we must be able to live. Thanks to our allies we have been able to insure life and liberty. You would feel the weight of my argument if you real ized that we are face to face with terribly serious condition.
 There is no threat of war and we should not assume that it is right to ignore danger altogether"
 Premier Briand said he could well understand why the rest of the world had not comprehended this situation because every nation had it's own pre- occupations. But he begged that the necessities of France be recognized in any consideration of French dis armament.
 Further Restrictions.
 After the armistice, M. Briand said, France began to demobilize as rapidly as possible and the period of enforced military service was reduced from three to two years. The result, he said, was to reduce the three military classes to two. Now, he continued France proposed further restrictions so that her army soon would be re- duced to half it's former strength.
 The government, he continued however reduced the army to two classes, aside from the troops in the French colonies and in few days, he said, the plans provide for a further reduction to one class, would be an- nounced.
 Tt is quite certain the government will further reduce service to one class, and the republican French army will be reduced by half. But, if there should come a suggestion for further reduction it would be impos- sible for us. without exposing our selves to the most serious danger.
 We are not selfish enough to ask other nations to give up part of their sovereign national independence to come to our support he said. We cannot expect 1t. But if France is to remain alone and face the situation which l bave described you must not deny her what she wants for her se- curity."
