spccial Despatch 70 THE New York HERALD,
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. O., Nos. IA.
Although rumor was current in Amer
lean circles that the question of land
arYnaments may not be made a capital
issue of the conference. it is reported
late this evening among the delegates of
foreign countries that this subject on the
contrary may come up in most acute
form. ,
1t Is understood that neither the Ital-
ians nor the English intend to let the
question of land arnnments rest and will
bring it up very soon.
The French will be hard put to it to
find defence against the Anglo-Italian
onslaught. They are, however. well pre-
pared with all the information the con-
ference may need.
The first item on the English plan for
land disarmament concerns the Polish
army of 230. 900, concerning which Eng
land will direct her rcproaches indirectly
against France as its principal sponsor.
Italy on her side, with an army of
ESQ, 900 men, will demand absolutely that
the French army be reduced approx
mately to the size of her own. France
will try to show by means of documents
the tremendous land forces with which
she may possibly have to cope.
First, Germany will have an army of
250. 900. which she can augment to some
| thing like 100000. Russia has untold
resources in men and even England is a
possible opponent of France with her
facilities of raising a very large force.
Finally there is Italy.
France is undoubtedly In the worst
position of any country from military
point of view. She is liable to be called
upon to face q coalition of enemies and
| she intends to make her situation clear.
| If she receives guarantees i'm respect
| to her security she is perfectly prepared
| to reduce her effectives accordingly, but
| without these she must take all the
| measures which her military advisers
| think necessary.
Nevertheless France asks nothing bet
| ter than to reduce her army to a mini
! mum. 1t may be stated that the lowest
point to which France considers it pos
siole to reduce will be to $4,000 men.
| She has many overseas military obliga-
! tions and n great part of her effectives
will remain in France for interior de-
fence, apd this figure of $4,000 is what
| France will demand If the subject of
| land armaments Is pressed at the
| Washington conference.

The Public Debate

In view of the fact that the in.
demnity demanded of Germany
by the supreme council of the
allied nations is probably the
q most important question facing
the world today the Literary So
cieties of the High School are
going to have an inter-society
debate on the query, Resolved:
That the Indemnity Demanded
of Germany by the Allies is Be-
yond Her Ability to Pay and
Should be Reduced to an Amount
in Keeping With Her Ability to
Pay and Should be Reduced to an
Amount in Keeping With Justice.
The Powell Society represent
ed by Ewell Gowen and Norfeet
Wick will uphold the affirmative
while the Graham Society repre-
scented by Fred WEIGH and Marion
Saunders will defend the mega
tive.
The debaters are working hard
on their speeches. They hope to
give a public discussion of the
question which will be quite
worth while.
The date of the debate will be
announced later.

Babe Ruth Wants to Enter Automobile Business Is
 Now the Report.

Babe Ruth, celebrated home-run champion, has now followed Barney Oldfield in seeking a leadership for Rickenbacker. motor cars.
 z. FromF early indications the Ricken- packer dealers organization in all parts of the country will be as spec taculari as the manufacturing per sonnel at Detroit
 Early, in August il was rumored that R4rney Oldfield speedway idol and tire manufacturer. had asked Rick-his former rO1drace adversary for the California territory. So anxious was Barney that he filed his application by long distance tele- phone from San Francisco to Detroit.
 Babe Ruth went Oldfield one bet ter and published his application to the world. He stated that he had re- quested territory for Rckenbacker cars and if successful would organ ize distributing company. The Rickenbacker Motor Company has re- leased a copy of q telegram signed by the home-run king.
 It is known that Babe Ruth s con tract with the New York Yankees eX- pires this year, but it is believed that any venture or investment in the au- tomobile business will not necessar- fly keep him out of baseball next season.
 To date no territories have o3en allotted. Like the manufacturing policies of the Rickenbacker Motor Company the sales policies are sub' iected to far-reaching investigation before approval The first eyperi .mental car was driven 20 consecutive months before approved by Ricken- hackers engineers. The sales poli' c.es cannot be subjected to such pro ! lOnged consideration. but are Deirs seriously analysed from every stand point.

 Twenty-three years of baseball experience - that is what lies beneath the frayed cap brim of Irving ("kaiser') Wilhelm, the erizzled veteran who will direct the Philadelphia Nationals for the balance of this season and 1922. In 1898 he began with the Youngstown team, of the Inter- state League, to go down, to the South Atlantic circuit in 1900. The following season found him with Birmingham, and the year after that he was with Pittsburgh, undergoing his first big league ex- perience. In 1904 the Braves grab bed him, they being trailed by Birmingham and Brooklyn The Baltimore Federal League team secured his services in 1914 and retained them during 1915. The Feds blew up, and Wilhelm dis coverd himself in Elmira. The years of 1918 and 1919 he was a motor inspector, playing only little on the side around Buffalo. Then, in 1920, he went to Jersey City, and from there the Phils got him.
