PARIS, December 8.-Though her
new policy Of seeking an understand
ing with Germany today apparently
had vastly improved German
relations, France nevertheless has
marshaled all her might in flesh, blood
and gold to defend herself in case Of
war with Germany.
The Rome agreement virtually set
ting the controversial question of the
Saar Basin, which votes January 13
as to its future sovereign, eased one
Of the biggest strains on the rela-
Marshal Petain and Budget Re-
With the warnings Of such men as
Marshal Petain and and Budget Re-
porter Leon Archimbaud ringing in
its ears. however, Parliament has
voted 100000 francs to keep
France strong in 1885.
Land, sea and air forces will get
their share Of funds to put them
on firm basis and OF cement every
crack in the steel. concrete and hu-
man barrier that France depends
upon to keep her borders safe.
Chief Of these defenses is the French
army. which numbers 100000 men,
approximately 100000 of whom are
IN France and the rest in the colonies
or the Near East.
Army Backbone of Defense.
In addition there is an air force
OF 34.548 men, while back of these
land forces is the worlds fourth most
powerful navy Of 663,74l tons and
60,520 men.
But the French army, as the back
bone Of her defense, is what is re-
ceiving the most careful grooming to-
day. In France are 39O,O31 men, in
cluding 37,08l gendarmerie and mo-
bile guards and 1859 republican
guards stationed in Paris. In Algeria
and Tunis are 74,824 men: Morocco,
63,700; the Near East, l2,453, and
in the colonies, 59,5l5, or a total of
600,505 men.
This formidable force. however. in
French minds, has one weakness: or
the men stationed in France, approx
imately 100000 have less than six
months training. which makes them
theoretically unfit for immediate use
in battle.
While each year about 10000
young Frenchmen enter the army to
service their period Of one year with
the colors. France has a backbone
professional army totaling l62,249 men
stationed at home and in her far
flung possessions. There are 64,555
French professional soldiers stationed
in the homeland and 20,219 stationed
overseas. Overseas also are 1870
men in the Foreign Legion. 52634
North African natives and 9,06l CO.
lonlal natives.
Recruiting Limit Removed.
The limit of recruiting for these
career soldiers has been removed, and
every effort is being made to increase
enlistment, but without great sue
cess, as pay in the French army is too
low to attract many men.
The home forces are stationed In
20 different army zones, each COM
manded by a general.
Backstopping the active army are
the reserves totaling on paper 7,000,-
900 men. How many of these would
be physically fit to take the field is
open to question.
In addition to making a drive
for a larger professional army, the
French military authorities are study
ing the value of the reserves. In 1884
a complete division of reserves was
called up for maneuvers against a
regular army division. The men served
under the same officers as in actual

WAR SCARESLA|D
!. TO ARMS MAKERS
Senator Pope Scores Num-
tions Men Before Foreign
Policy Group. kA5
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December s.-The asser-
ton that munitions makers, seeking
profits. have fomented strife, intensi-
fed hostility between nations and
promoted war Scares was made today
by Senator Pope, Democrat, of Idaho
in a debate before a Foreign Policy
Association group on Are Munitions
Makers War Makers?"
He said very definite evidence be-
fore the Senate Munitions Investigat-
ing Committee. Of which he is q
member bore out his assertion.
Blames Munitions Makers.
at appears clear" he said, that
the dangerous situation in Europe
due to the rearming Of Germany, is
in large part directly traceable to
the activities Of munitions makers.
1t seems to me a crisis in competitive
ornaments has been reached, and
that the munitions makers are largely
responsible for it
Pope said effective steps to stop
the armament race must be taken if
disastrous, and perhaps worldwide
war, is to be prevented. He offered
naturalization of the arms industry
as the ultimate solution of the prob
lem, and suggested closer American
cooperation with international efforts
for armament control.
Evidence before the Senate commit.
tee. Pope said, places a heavy respon-
sibility upon armsmakers for recent
armed conflicts, for failures in dis
armament efforts, for the race in
armaments now going on the world
over and for the tense situation
created by Germany rearming con-
trary to the Versailles treaty."
Believe in Huge Armaments.
He said evidence very clearly dis
closes that munitions makers believe
in the policy of huge ornaments and
they are in the business Of providing
them.
Pope said throughout the Senate
investigation he had repeatedly heard
the statement that the foundation Of
the munitions industry is graft, and
added there can be no question but
that bribery of government officials
occurred.
AT one time" he declared, "it
became necessary to withhold from
the record evidence of a $4,000 bribe
to South American official for fear
its disclosure would result in inter-
national complications"
The Senator charged that in some
countries high government officials
promote war scares in order to slim
ulate purchase of armaments on
which they can collect graft.
He contended, also, that munitions
makers make or prolong' war
through opposition to arms embargoes
and restrictive legislation.

I sure like to fish but evictions are

found that the woman had gone to
town to rent the place next door.
She came home to find her furniture
all out.
The Council modified and held a
short meeting at which Comrade
Byers, who is running for Sheriff of
Lucas County, appealed to the
neighbors who are not council men,
bers to support the Council and help
put the furniture back in the home
After the job was completed, the
woman offered to pay 50 for what
the Council did, but Comrade Byers
refused to take the money, telling
her that the bank that owned the
home was the one that stole every
cent from the working class.
Comrade Byers also got many
signers for his Election Petition al
