.CONSCRIPTION
OF MEN, WOMEN
Is FRENCH PLAN

PARIS, March P).-The new army
reorganization law, placing every
French citizen, man or woman, at the
call of the country in time of war, was
adopted by the chamber of deputies to-
night, 500 votes to 912. Only the COM
munists opposed the measure.
BY the law, the general principle of
the equality of the sexes in the defense
of the country is laid down, the first
paragraph of the preamble stipulating
that every French citizen over the age
of 21 is liable to military service.
How far this liability applies to wo-
men and whether the word service"
within the meaning of the law sup
posed that women as we'll as men will
have to bear arms, probably will be
cleared up later, several amendments
already having been introduced to ex-
cept the women from the provisions
of the law.
