Call Military Glasses

Iy United Press.
Paris. Apr 3O.-Plans were COM
pleted today for the mobilization of
the military classes of 1919 to cover
period of eight days. This levy
on the military strength of the
country will total 10000 men, it is
estimated by officials.
The only word from the sessions
of the supreme. council at London, is
that the French representatives
deem it ' ,essary to start the work
of concentration.
1t was said that If Grmany's re-
cent offer had not been designed
merely to gain time, it could have
been made month ago, instead OF
week before the expiration OF the
reparations time limit; that German
public opinion could have been
brought to see the gravity OF the
situation and the determination OF
the allies to secure payment by
such an act as the proposed occu
patton of the Ruhr.
