PARiIS, March B'.
Mr Lloyd George’s motion to reduce the German army is based on the fact that the yearly recuritment of 200,000 would give the enemy the possibility of calling up a million in five years. Therefore, aT" voluntary professional army is essential vffiich will not receive Jiigh strategical and tactical training, and will not have artillery except machine guns; but will be really a police force. The Conference’s decision should have a widespread effect. With :he wai power of Germany, Austria, Russia, and Turkey destroyed, and Britain and the United States standing for voluntarism, the (ancient curse of Europe is lifted, and Prance and Italy will find their terrible economic burdens lifted.
