FRANCE Will
REDUCE Her
ARMY BY HALF

Washington, Nov. 21-France will
cut half of her effective army by
reducing fifty per cent the period
of French military service, Premier
BRAND told the arms limitation
conference this afternoon.
BRAND said that was Frances
offering to peace He said as re-
suit of this, Frances army may be
said to be reduced by half.
The pledge for France to reduce
its army, now the largest and most
effective in the world, came after
BRAND painted a gloomy picture OF
the dangers facing France. The
Premier made the declaration at the
close of a long speech, devoted most
ly to demonstrating Frances need
for q large army.
In face of the German and Rus
sian menace" France cannot go
any further toward land disarma-
ment than to cut the period of mill
tary in half Germany, it was stat
ed, could put five million men in
the field within a few weeks.
Arthur Balfour, at the head OF
the British delegation, arose inme-
diately after BRANDS address, prais-
ing the speech and declared the
conference heard BRAND and was in
full sympathy"
Carlo Schanzer of Italys group
said that the Italian delegation was
in accord with BRAND regarding the
European situation.
Secretary Hughes, at the opening
of the conference, said the naval
limitation and Far Eastern questions
were progressing favorably,"

"No one for a moment imagines

event of her failure to do so the

N 0NR OE GAS
FIELD LARGEST
in THE WORLD
Government Engineers Find
Producing Area of 212
Square Miles - Supply
Barely Tapped.

New Orleans, Nov. 21.-An enol ;
nous natural gas field with pro-
duction potentialities unsurpassed in
the history of the natural gas indus
try OF the country has been uncov-
cred in northern Louisiana, ac-
cording to report made public
here yesterday following an inves-
tigation by engineers of the United
States Bureau of Mines, conducted
for the state on request of Governor
Parker.
A production area of PIP square
miles, or $4,000 acres in a solid
block. located in Union, Ouachita
and Morehouse parishes, near the
city of Monroe and designated as
the Monroe gas field, is outlined in
the report.
The Monroe gas area, it is report
ed, has the greatest potential capac-
ity of any discovered gas field.
Sixty-five wells have total open
flow capacity of over 620,000,000
cubic feet a day, or an average per
well of 100000 cubic feet. The
productive horizons have a thickness
of Is to 95 feet, the average thick
ness being at least so feet. AL
though over ,000,000,000 cubic
feet of gas has been removed since
the discovery well was drilled into
the gas rock in 1916, the engineers
say-the original rock pressure of
1850 pounds square inch has
shown no appreciable decline.
Stupendous Reservoir.
The report estimates that the to-
tai amount Of gas remaining in the
reservoir is 4,750, 900, 1000 cubic
feet, or 80 cubic miles, calculated
at eight ounces pressure above at
mosphere, which indicates that the
volume is much greater because the
limits of the field had not been
finally determined at the time the
Investigation was concluded,
AS to the proportion of gas re-
naming in the reservoir that may
be recoverable for domestic and in
dustrial use, the engineers report
that with competent engineering
and other practices in the care and
development of the field, fully SO
per cent, or 2,375, 100000 900 cubic
| feet should be made available an
amount equivalent to 40 per cent
of the total volume of natural gas
produced and marketed from 20
different states in the United States
for the 13-year period 1906 to
1918 inclusive, as shown by records
of the United States Geological Sur
vey.
Can Supply Huge Area.
The report shows that New Or
leans, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth
and Memphis are in practically
equal radial distance from the Mon
roe field, and drawing on the in
dictated recoverable gas at the rate
of 200, 100000 feet daily, the sup
ply would last over so years.
Seventy-five per cent of the pro-
ductive area as outlined by the
Bureau of Mines engineers is con-

you or docs not attend to the

Or it may be an undertakers' con-

arrayed in all the sombre habili-

few indeed would recognize in this
solemn young man anything but a
business-like mortician.
When Ivy fares forth in pur-

this superdetective of the prohibit

Van Courtlandt Park disguised as

The soiled and grim-faced warriors,
with headgear tilted back and nose

were none other than the famous

Eddie, the waiter, saw too late

unsuspectingly to his doom-some-

of the grfdiron heroes handed Ed

Washington. Nov. 21-Abrogation
sential to the success of the disarma-

This is the belief in American
diplomatic and naval circles as nego-
tiations enter on the second week,
with counter proposals and reserva-
tions from powers represented here,
threaten to distort the 5-5-3 plan.
Great Britain could force Japan S
acceptance of Mr.. Hughes propo-
sails, it is pointed out because Eng

plate factories provide the Japanese
with large part of their navy and
mercantile marine and with the
necessary equipment.
Britain Only Market Open.
Before the war, Japan placed or
ders in England and Germany and
during the war obtained the bulk OF
her supplies from the United States
With Germany forbidden to manu-
facture and sell naval ornaments,
and with American firms declining
to provide Japan with these neces-
stiles, Britain is the sole market
to which Toxic can look for the
wherewithal to maintain her fleet
Neither France nor Italy could
furnish Japan the materials sought
and in the opinion of experts ii
would require at least 10 years for
the development of the ore deposit
in Asia to which Japan has access
to make Japan independent of the
rest of the world.
AS an ally, Britain could scarcely
be expected to decline to sell tc
Japan the armor plates she needs
for her dreadnaughts, nor to lay
down in English and Irish yards the
lighter craft that Toxic might order
Such refusal on the part of the
British government would involve al
least a revision of the alliance with
Japan, so effectually weakening the
tie that it would become valueless
to both parties.
Seek British Friendship.
America is extending her hand
to England at this conference and
it is for British statesmen to realize
it, and to grasp it," said an Ameri-
can diplomat yesterday, in explain
ing the deep-rooted belief here.
"a lack of confidence, caused by
our early wars with England and
, fostered by misunderstanding and
plumbers kept the United States and
Britain apart until 1917. During
the year or more when we were
common allies in the war, this mis-
trust and antipathy on both sides
seemed abated.
"Since the armistice, however, as
a result of the peace negotiations at
Paris and since famed by the Irish
problem the old feeling has revived
until we have reached the pre-war
status Of misconceptions and mis-
trust.
