WAR SERVICE
DEMAND ON FOREIGNERS IN FRANCE BILL LAID BEFORE SENATE. VOLUNTEERING OF IMMIGRANTS DURING CRISIS. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON. December 28. A Bill tabled in the French Senate today makes foreigners working in France liable for conscription on the same terms as Frenchmen. The sponsor is Senator Reibel, who explains that foreigners making their homes in France cannot expect just to sit back and allow Frenchmen to fight for them.
The Paris correspondent of “The Times” points out that during the September crisis the French General Staff ascertained that 70.000 Italian immigrants were ready to fight on France’s side if war had broken out.
The total number of foreigners volunteering their services between July 26 and 30 exceeded 100,000, including many Germans and Poles.
