GERMANY PLANS
 FOR GREAT ARMY
100000 Picked Troops to to Be Selected From
 Storm Forces
(Copyright 1885 by United Press)

(Copyright 1885 by United Press)
 Berlin, Feb. 9-(UP)-Germany is planning an army of 100000 men, built up from storm troop organizations and based on the quick turnover system which would permit accumulation of a big reserve, according to indica- tions today.
 Picked men from the SS and SA storm troop units would be re- cruited into the Reichswehr for probably one years service. ard possibly would be required first to serve for six months in the "vol- untary labor corps"
 All plans under consideration for the army naturally depend on the result of the prospective re- armament negotiations based on the French British agreement for an aerial defense league.
 No outsider so far is known can estimate with accuracy the present strength of the German army or air force. A 100000 figure has been named for the army and esti- mates of the potential Wa r strength in planes range from 80D to 1900. These reports of course emanate outside Germany.
 Under the Versailles treaty Germany Is limited to an army of 100000. Officers must agree to serve for 25 years and men for 12 years so that no reserve may be built)
