GERMANY PREPARED, FRANCE IS
UNWILLING TO DISARM-- BRAND
Unusual Gathering OfDistingMiSh-
ed NOtabLeS Hear Address of
"StyOng Man" of France

by the Ludendorffs and other milit-
airy casts are continuing Prussian
war doctrines.
In dramatic speech the premier
outlined TO the conference ''whAt il
being said at the door Of France"
which, he added, wants peace.
How can any one ask France to
disarm under such c0nditi0ns?r ne
asked.
The picturesque "strong man" of
France, acknowledged Nv LyoId
George as having ''the finest pnrlia-
mentary voice in Europe was the
drawing card which packed the Mem
orial Hall with such gathering of
distinguished notables as il seldom
found under one roof
The premier's voice ordinarily Vi
brant and penetrating. particularly
rich in overtones was modulated to
fill the hall and no more.
The effect upon the auditor was a.
though the statesman was speaking
directly and personally to him. There
was no display Of "cold storage"
elouuence.
Introducing the subject Of land
armament, Chairman Hughes said
there was no problem there for the
United States whose traditional pol
icy was to maintain a small army.
BRAND radiates force and intellec-
tual power and today his every action
and gesture indicated that he felt the
seriousness or the subject and its
great import to France.
A "close up" shows his eyes are
blue. rather unusual color among
the darw featured Bretons, but they
are large and expressive Of emotion.
But they snap and flash fire and ap-
pear dark ~ ne plungs headlong into
subject. They touched again with
softness and he pleads again Tor
France.
Secretary Hughes called the con-
ference for II :01 a. m after photo
graphs were taken or the historic oc-
casion. Secretary Hughes said he
took pleasure in stating that graft
.fvinr progress has been made IN the
first week Of the conference"
Speaking for Great Britain in re-
plv to BRAND. Arthur Balfour prac-
tically pledged the support Of Great
Britain to France ''in the face Of
list for domination"
Shazer told the conference that
plans are underway for further re-
duction of the Italian army. Adj
miral Kato said that Japan wants
only such an army as Is necessary
purely for defensive purposes
Brands address was characterized
by Balfour as a perfectly candid ex-
planation of the anSieties and pre-
occupations OF France. This exposI-
tion. he said. will have the full ap-
probation az all at the conference
