INTERNATIONAL ARMY
GEN. SARRAEE'S PANACEA
Of I American, I Belgian, 2
British, 2 French Baftalions.

Special Gable to THE New York HERALD.

Paris, Dec. 21.
The use of the Rhineland armies as a
nucleus Of an international force for a
league of Powers is the latest suggestion
from Gen. Sarrail in an article published
by the Ere Nouvelle. Sarrail says that
it is useless for France to increase her
national burdens by new contingents as
long as the United States. France. Great
Britain and Belgium each have bat
talions along the Rhine sufficient for
any emergency elsewhere.
Such an international force" he
writes. might be comprised of one
American, one Belgian, two British and
two French battalion. The troops could
thus be designated 20 continue to re-
main on the Rhineland, and If ordered
20 march on behalf of the league they
would not be replaced. There would,
therefore, not be any supplementary ex-
pense involved. On the contrary, there
would be increased authority and the
leagues army would be able to inter-
vene anywhere whenever 1t was consid-
cred necessary"
Although Gen. Sarrail admits that a
few thousand soldiers would not be able
to handle any serious uprising in a
world where millions are still armed, he
insists that the constitution of an inter-
national force of this sort would be suf-
fictent until the nations get together and
compel factories no longer to manu-
facture munitions and material.

from w. f. Brock of Liudale, Ca. said
the S Ter was killed because he was i'll
and unable to work and that Crawford
was not tried by court-martiai.
Wallis. however. had another version
saying that Crawford was tried by
court-martial, received a thirty day fur
lough and then made sergeant. To
the best of his recollection the killing
was in May or June, 1913.

the fact that the French delegates and

Germany will be able to pay the January

Premier Brands first meeting with
the British Prime Minister outstripped
German expectations and suggested
better prospects from a German stand

the London meeting may lead to the
signing of an economic peace in Eu-
rope and what to them seem radical
changes in the essential economic
clauses of the Treaty of Versailles.
Fear Neutrnlized Rhineland.
On the whole, opinion in circles close
to the Government here was that first
reports from London were too good to
be true" 1t may be that this skepticism
yelled criticism Of the suggested neu-
tralization of the Rhine province.
IF it is to be neutralized like the

It is feared here that the establish

pecially keen here because of a report
reaching Berlin that Bavarian monarch
lists are planning coup d'etat before
