(Rv Associated Press>

WEST POINT. n. Y, June 13.-As-
sertions that the United States does
not need an army were met by Secre-
tary Weeks of the war department in
an address at the graduating exercises
of the United States military academy
today with the statement that "the
civilization of the world rests on no
surer foundation than did the civiliza-
ton of Boston" at the time of the po-
lice strike nearly three years ago.
"If it were not for the restraining
force of the military establishments of
the nations of the world" he declared,
result and civilization would be rapid
ly exterminated through self-destruc-
ton" To say that the United States
does not need an army, he added, is
just as reasonable to say that "Bos.
ton, Chicago and our other large cities
do not need a police force
The question of the size Of the

added, or difference of opinion as t

Addressing his remarks particular

Three GERMAN LOAN
PLANS CONSIDERED
BY BANKERS, REPORT
CRy Associatod P: essl

PARIS. June s13-The International
Bankers committee which has just ad-
iourned its sessions here without
agreeing on a loan for Germany, con-
sidered three distinct plans. according
to Pertinax, political correspondent
of the Echo de Paris.
The first plan presented by Herr
Bergman, the German representative,
provided that Germany issue a loan
of 1000, 900, 900 gold marks and in re-
turn for which she be given a breath
ing spell for the space of say, two
years.
The proceeds of the loan would be
distributed as follows: 1900 ,000
marks to Germany; 1000, 100000 to
Belgium; 1,000,000,000 to the United
States to defray the costs of the Amer
ican forces in Germany, and the rest
to be shared by the allies in accord
ance with the proportions fixed at the
| Spa conference. Under this plar
France would get 375, 600, 900 marks
! but would undertake TO place il
France 0,000, 900 marks worth of tbs
| loan bonds.
Second Plan
The second plan originated with the
French representative. He proposed
to divide the 132,000,0 900 golC
marks due from Germany into tive
parts and leaving $4,000, 100000 marks
in c. bonds aside for the present, is
sue the remaining $4,000, 100000 marks
| in corresponding "A" and "B" bond.
in instalments spread over a period
of ten or twelve years.
| To this, ]. P. Morgan, American
representative, is said to have re
| sponded that it was impossible Il
place even half Of such sum for tn,
period indicated and then only OF
condition that France agreed to re
duction in the German debt and re
pudiation of all idea of recourse t,
penalties.
NJ. Delacroix, the chairman an
Belgian representative, was respor
sible for the third plan. Leaving ou
of account the present problem as
whole he proposed that German
should, during the current year obtai
1900, 100000 gold marks from interns
tional money lenders. that is to say
just enough to meet the requirement
, Of Belgium's claim to reparation
under her priority privilege.
These schemes, adds "Pertinax" rel
resent the Substance" which critic
accuse the French government of ha'

of its non-compromising policy of a
