France 10 Release
Fathers Of Two or
More From Army
Thousands Will Return to
Civilian Life to Aid
Nations Economy
1y the Associated Press.

0y the Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. a. Thousands Of
French fathers will be released
gradually from the army beginning
December is in line with the allied
strategy Of fighting Germany with
seapower and economics instead of
mass land offenSives.
Premier Daladier announced a
decree today releasing all fathers of
two or more children who have been
mobilized. They will be returned
gradually to civilian life where they
will aid the country's economy by
working in war industries and taking
care of their families. All of the
released men are subject to immedi-
ate recall.
Officials pointed out that in the
World War France admitted hun
dreds of thousands of workers from
neutral countries but these coun-
tries now have mobilization prob
lens of their own.
Second DemobilizatiOn Decree,
The rehabilitation decree was the
second of the war. October % the
government ordered the release of
all men 40 years old, those over 43
with three children and As or over
with two children.
With development of fortress war
fare and with most of the fighting
being done at sea, the government
can afford to release older men from
active service and still have an army
OF over 100000 men on guard
against surprise German offensive.
Experts Standardization the war
that 100000 men were needed to
garrison the Maginot Line.
Observers pointed out millions of
reserves were needed during the
World War because of the heavy
casualty lists due to great battle of
open or semi-open warfare such as
the Marne, the Somme or Verdun.
Younger Men in Front Lines.
The premier also announced men
20 years or older will be taken out of
the front lines and replaced by
younger men now in service in the
rear.
The demobilization order came
Just as the Western Front showed
new signs of life with increased pa
troll activity reported at several
points.
Military sources said both sides
made raids and the French captured
several prisoners.
