trench mortars, $1,000 gun carriages,
10000 machine guns and about g.
100000 rifles. At that time all OF
the military schools had been dis
missed, the fortresses dismantled, and
the commi ssions of control had their
staffs of experts and officers watch

a constant inspection is going on in
all the industrial centers, and 1t
would seem to me physical impos-

nitions of war could be carried on
without their knowledge. The com

Indeed tho Germans are sensitive
about the destruction carried on by
the Control Commission. They

been stealing their trade secrets, and
that the military destruction has Oft
en- been with the idea of Gripping

the trade of certain of the allies. In
other words. they are charging the

the same policy that they themselves
adopted when they blew up the
Frech factories and maliciously de-
stroyed their machinery during the
war.
