GERMAN ARMY.
FORCES TOTAL A MILLION.
BREACHES OF THE TREATY. By Meeraph.—Press Juan.—Copyright. Received Jan. 4, 5.5 p.m. London, Jan. 2. It is authoritatively estimated that the ptesent strength of the German armed forces is over a million, composed of an army of 400,000; a navy of 12,000, temporary volunteers or army reserves 150,000 to 200,000, civic guards 300,000 to 400,000, and armed constabulary 40,000 to 50,000,. The last three are controlled by the Ministry of the Interior, and are regarded as a contravention of the Peace Treaty, and this fact has been notified to Germany by the Supreme Council. The Reparation Commission has intervened in connection with large sales of German horses and cattle to neutrals, the discovery of which illustrates Germany's continued deception, as recently she indicated that she was unable to comply with certain reparation demands owing to the necessities of agriculture and the re-victualling of her popula-tion.—Aus.-N.Z.
