mand for equality OF a-maments. It

quarters today that the next direct
move toward restoration of Germany's

will be brought into the discussion. At
the moment her official policy is one
of inaction with close attention friendly

II Germany claims British sympathy
and support, observers said. that claim
goes back to last April at Geneva
when all the interested powers except
France professed such sympathy In
conversations with Heinrich Bruening,
who was then the German chancellor
Germany has approached France
alone on the question, political observ-
ers said, because it was France which
failed to agree with the German atti-

DEMAND HELD UNTIMELY.
Regarded Unfortunate In Connection
With Arms Reduction.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN,

Although ofacially the State Depart
ment has nothing to say about the
German request of being permitted to
obtain equality in armaments with the
other powers, signatories of the YER
sailles treaty high officials do not dis
guiSe their concern about this matter
having been brought up at the present
time.
Although the American Government
Is not interested in the Versailles treaty,
in certain official quarters there is but
little sympathy with the German re-
quest for the freedom to increase arma-
ments.
Regarded UntimeIy.
The German request is considered as
most untimely. since all the principal
European nations, together with the
United States, are striving to bring
about a reduction of armaments and
not stimulate in any way the possibil-
ity Of reopening another armament race
as the German demand Is bound to be
interpreted by the former allies
According to reports received from
Paris, Premier Herriot and his COL
laborators are doing their best to pro-
mote the idea Of a possible reduction of
ornaments, difficult as it is to obtain
the consent of the large ma jority of the
French people. In this endeavor they
are compelled, however, to lay stress on
Frances security. An expression of
that opinion was given early last month
when President Lebrun, Marshal Petain
and the ardent French pacifist, Paul
Boncour, spoke at the dedication OF the
monument of the French soldiers killed
at Daumont. The three French leaders
expressed the same opinion about Sc
curity, in different terms.
Lesson Toward Peace.
President Lebrun said that the monu-
ment which was being dedicated was
not only to honor those fallen, but also
"a lesson to France to bend every
effort toward international peace. and
until that time comes must insist
upon security" Marshal Petain was
more outspoken, and after criticizing
the dreamers who place too much con-
fidence in signed agreements while Eu-
rope stays divided. stated that what
ever burdens may come from arma-
ments, we will have the courage to ac-
cept them and not abandon, In the
name Of pacifist ideal, the means to
defend our SOIL" Paul Boncour spoke
in the same vein and said: 1T Is use
peacefully arbitrated, II the arbiter can
not enforce his decision. Let us fortify
ourselves to the double task devolving
upon us. to maintain our security and
organize peace"
It Is In this frame of mind that the
French government Is endeavortng to
bring about q reasonable reduction Of
armaments.

be permitted th organize q conscripf

DOUGLAS HILL, Me-, September l.
While cloudy skies prevented direct
coronal photographs at the Perkins OBJ
servatory eclipse expedition headquar-
ters here, a long series of photometric
observations of light changes were made
with a carefully planned illiminometer
by Mrs. Josef johnson.
These observations may be OF some
value in determining the distribution OF
radiation from different parts Of the
eclipse Cloudy skies act as diffusing
screen for the changes in solar light
during the progress Of the eclipse.
The changes in the illumination were
also obtained by William A. spur OF
the Western Electric Co., assisted by
John Spur. 1t is believed this Will
make possible the measure OF the
changing radiations in different regions
of the spectrum.

which the newly developed photronic

nouncement that Germany must reor-
ganize her defense forces so as to mod
ernize them. even II they were not in
creased. He said Germanys claim to
equality had been disregarded and that
humiliating treatment continued to be
imposed on her and her former allies.
Germany wanted no more nor less
than what other states dem -uded for
security, the statement wenu on, and
she did not desire to enter into arma-
ment competition. But she did insist
on applying her restricted financial re-
sources to obtain the most effective re-
suit for the country's defense, the gen.
eral concluded.
When the government confirmed that
a note had been dispatched to France,
1t was recalled that reorganization Of
the Reichswehr had been discussed for
weeks in army circles. The feeling has
been that the Versailles treaty, limiting
the army to 100000 men and restrict
ing equipment, hampers the nation In
the economic distribution of funds
available for defense.
The official press department, dis
cuSsing conversations between Foreign
Minister Won Neurath and the French
Ambassador, said the government had
sent neither a note nor a memorandum
to Paris. but had merely provided the
Ambassador with loose aide memoir"
and that disclosure of the exchange
had been made not In Berlin, but Il
Paris.
Herr Won Neurath's declarations"
said the head of the press bureau
proceed from the resolution adopted
at the adjournment Of the Geneva Dis
armament Conference.
That resolution contained nothing
to indicate whether new measures re-
garding reduction of ornaments would
apply also to Germany. It was i'm
possible, therefore, for Germany TO sup
port the resolution.
Herr von Neurath emphasized to the
French Ambassador that Germany has
q right to demand clariication Of the
attitude toward her demands for
equality.
Germany insists that others must
disarm on the pattern of Germanyis
disarmament Germany favors radical
general reduction Of ornaments. but
this must be done according to the same
principles for all states. The measures
to be taken by Germany must fall in
! line with the character and extent OF
general reduction of arma ments."
The Press Bureau head said the 10
points published in the Paris Journal
as the outstanding demands made by
Germany never were mentioned in con-
versations between the foreign minister
and the Ambassador. Germany, he said,
simply insisted then what is permitted
to others must also be permitted TO
Germany.
Other powers were informed Of the
progress of these negotiations" He said,
"The fact that beginning was made
! with France was because the French
standpoint hitherto has been furthest
! from the German"
! The purpose of the talk between the
foreign minister and the Ambassador,
it was explained, was to clarity the
French stand on Germany's demand
for equality 1t was but one of series
OF discussions with various powers.
