REICH VOTE ASKED
FOR LARGE ARMY.
Bavarian Veterans Demand
Compulsory Basis to
FIout Treaty.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. September 22.-The Ba-
varian Veterans League petitioned
Interior Minister Baron Won Gayl today
to authorize a plebiscite to allow the
people to vote on the question Of re-
building the German army on the basis
Of compulsory military service.
They also asked approval Of a pro-
posal calling for revocation Of Ger
many's observance of part five Of the
Versailles treaty, which Is the section
under which Germany was disarmed.
Importance Questioned.
Although Hugo Alletter, president Of
the Bavarian veterans organization,
claimed there were 5000 signatures be-
hind the application, government circles
regarded the project as a mere gesture
and not likely to go far.
A revival Of the old conscription for
the army and setting aside Of part five
Of the treaty could not be brought about
by this method, one official said.
If that were possible" he said, why
should we have international negotia-
tions at all. Any one can start a move
ment for plebiscite and this has hap
pened time and again, but it is toler-
ably certain nothing more will BE heard
Of the petition"
The Socialist newspaper Vorwaerts,
speaking in the name Of the working
classes, dismissed the plan with the
words "this Is the last straw" adding
ironically that it was very likely to
improve the Reich's position in pend
ing international discussions"
The Reichstag Committee on Safe
guarding the Parliament's Rights heard
witnesses today to determine whether
Chancellor Won Papen demanded the

These hearings will not affect the
dissolution. since the opposition admits
its legality, but they seem calculated to
clarity whether the Reichstag voted
non confidence in accordance with the
rules Of procedure.

isters were summoned but they did not
