Poincare Cabinet
Refuses to Reduce
Strength of Army
Minister Maginot Declares
Force of $4,000 Must
BE Maintained Lacking
Full British Alliance
By Wilbur Forrest


Copyright. 1922 New York Tribune Inc
fARlS, Jan. 1.-THE Poincare Cabi
net is determined, for the present at
least, to maintain the French military
forces at their present strength. Th;,
wac made clear to-day by Minister of
war Marglnot, after long conference
with General Guat, chief of staff.
Inc Minister, who was wounded in
the World War while serving 40 i.
sergeant, said that Frahcc would not
nov cut down the size of the m;i;+a Nv
or diminish the length of oblipatorS
service, fixed at eighteen months. He
expla ned that although he personallv
would Ike to shorten the training ne :
ROD 81 French youths this was impos-
elp'e an the prec@- US state of Euro
pean peace which Gcrmany's activities
threaten to compromise at anv mo.
ment" NV
"Thercfore," he continued. 1--WE must
maintain under arms enough men to
meet any eventuality. There is no
doubt that colonial recruits could fur
nish us with large numbers of soldiers
put we cannot replace all our French
forces with native troops"
Things would be different. the min
lister said in talking to correspondents
# the Anglo-French alliance negotia-
t'ons which began at Cannes could be
worked out into treaty form.
"lf. under such a treaty." he con-
tinued. "our British ally would keep
sufficient number of men in training
to furnish soldiers at any needed
moment. we could reduce the number
Of our own electives and shorten the
term Of compulsory service. Until
then, VIC cannot go under eighteen
months service Without being i'm
prudent"
The Minister of War said that the
figures for the French army for
January /, showed $4,000 men under
arms.
Maginot said his own personal de-
sire would be to reduce the term of
service from eighteen months to
twelve. but this matter is determined
by the French army commission and
not by the Minister of War.
LONDON, Jan. II (By The Associated
Press) Raymond Poincare, the new
French Premier, has sent message to
Premier Lloyd George expressing the
desire, in behalf of the French govern
given privately, that France is eager
to resume cordial examination of the
various questions at issue between the
two countries" He is convinced that
the two peoples, "who have been so
closely allied on the field of battle,
should be able, with common interest,"
to maintain peace in Europe and to
assure execution of the treaties signed
and the reparations damages caused
by the invason.'
The message, together with the reply
Of Mr.. Lloyd George, was given out by
the Foreign Office to-day.
Describing it as superfluous to repeat

SPECIAL VILLAGE
MEETING CALLED
TUESDAY NEXT
Report of Water Commits
SiOnerS on MeterS-New
Fire Equipment to
be Considered.

| |T1YHAT should be considered of
6IA great concern to our citizens
W. is the special village meet
| ing called for next Tuesday
evening, April 4th, which will be
held at the Engine House at 7o'clock.
At the annual village meeting on Jan.
23d. there was considerable discussion
on the matter of increasing our
| water supply. Some were of the
opinion that in order to be sure of
an adequate supply of water for the
village needs it would be necessary
to make plans for obtaining water
from additional sources, while others
thought the desired results might be
obtained by conservation of the
present supply, this to be brought
about through the use of water
meters, believing that much water
which was used unnecessarily would
not be so used if the consumers knew
they were being charged by meter
instead of at fiat rate. This idea
seemed to meet with approval of the
voters present at the meeting. and
it was voted to instruct the water
commissioners to ascertain the cost
of the meters and the advisability of
installing them. and to report their
findings at a special meeting of the
voters. While we have not received
strictly inside" information on the
subject, we understand that the cost
of the meters, together with their,
installation. would be in the vicinity |
of SO 900, and even after this has
Sc folt NV rNnI
citizens that the village would be no
better situated than it is now.
There seems to be many phases to
the question. and it should receive |
the serious consideration of every
voter in the village.
Another important matter, to be
brought before the meeting next |
Tuesday will be request of The Fire
officers for some very |
necessary equipment for the local
hose company. Among other things,
does not now possess decent nozzle.
and that the lack of such required
equipment would make it next to i'm
possible to fight a fire to any adj
vantage should we have one. Of
course. some will say that we have
managed pretty we'll for several
years with the present equipment,
and that we are not liable to have a
serious fire. That kind of argument
may be all right in the opinion of
some people. but we know of two
villages not far distant which seemed
to carry the same idea, and instead
of being "safe" are now Sorry" 1t
seems to us that now is the time for
someone to "get on the job" and see
that the local fire department is
supplied with the necessary equip
ment to enable them to make good
showing should the occasion ever
arise.

BUSINESS MEN
 BOOST CHAMBER
Every Merchant in District a Member, Is Goal of Big
 Membership Campaign

With approximately 60 per cent of the business men of the districr signed for membership and q favor able report on the remainder. the con- mittee on business mems membership held Q meeting at the chamber rooms last night. A survey of the district shows that no opposition has been encountered by the committee and that business men with one or two small exceptions had responded fully to the call of the committee.
 During the next week the remain ing business houses will be seen and at the next meeting of the committee it is expected that every business house in the district will be represent ed in the membership of the cham Der. President McGregor expressed himself as pleased with the showing which has been made and confident that the coming weeks campaign will bring in the support necessary for the success of the chambers program for 1922.
 McGregor feels that the chamber should have the support of eevry busi- ness man, every citizen and every tax payer in the district. In order that the chamber shall fulfill it's proper mission it is absolutely necessary thta no one interested in the growth of the district shall fail to hold member ship and have voice in it's activities, and this membership campaign is the result of McGregor's desires that every person interested in the growth of the district shall be brought into the chambers roster.
