FRENCH ARE WARY OF GERMAN REFORM German Military Arrange- ments -- Experts Cause French to Ponder Future Army London.--Germany is overhaul- ing her military arangements, She has an army of 100,000 men and police and trained reserves--a force of at least 400,000 available for war should occasion arise, This, and the fact that evacuation of Ger- many has at last been carried out, is making France more anxious than, ever regarding her military position. The problem of security against invasion is the one matter that occupies the minds of the French people. One of the leading military ex- perts of Germany, General Von Seeckt favors the small, mobile highly efficient army as against the great "national'"' army of less pro- ficiency. He does not underrate the importance of numbers, but in- sists that the object of modern stra- tegy should be to strike a decisive blow by the use of mobile and high- ly trained forces without setting mass armies in motion. Closely Studied General Von Seeckt's views are being studied with close attention in France. French military ex- perts, according to the Army Quar. terly, are considerably exercised in their minds as to the best method of meeting the kind of attack that might be directed against their country by the type of professional army contemplated by the German general. The French Army is now in process of reorganization and the question to be decided is whether ordinary methods of conscription would best serve the interests of France. The French Army at the present time consists of 108,000 long-serv- ice professional soldiers, and an an- nual class (about 240,000) called up in haif-yearly contingents for a year's intensive military instruc. tion, In addition there are also a large number of trained reserves and Colonial forces, and in the event of war the entire male popu- lation of France is liable for serv. ice, civil or military. The security of the frontiers is based on 'the chain of modern fortifications on which endless thought and money are being spent. May Rest Content It seems likely that France will rest content with the professiohal nucleus that already exists in her Army, and will not abandon the form of national service to which ahe is accustomed, and an influen- tial section of military opinion led by General Debeny, an officer of great distinction and long experi- ence, holds that the value of a pro- fessional army, such as advocated bv teneral Von Seeckt, is based on a falldey. They consider that al- though such a force at the begin- ning of a campaign might achieve considerable success, its _ effect would not be decisive, and that modern war cannot mean less to a pation than the whole nation in arms, "A country naturally seeks to satisfy its desire for security by making full use of its resources, and, in estimating the amount of protection that it needs, cannot be expected to listen to views dictated from outside," says General Von Seeckt. He doubts whether it will ever be possible to limit the utiliza- tion by nations of their natural re- sources in men and material, He then outlines his ideas on the sub- ject of universal military service and the conduct of future wars. General Von Seeckt is not so much concerned with a policy to prevent war as to improve the defensive or- ganization of his country; to pro- vide it with a military force easy to handle in the field against the mod- ern machinery of war, and to be re- lied upon to withstand the strain of a hard-fought contest. The Last War The last war was fought by na- tions in arms, not by armies, Gen- eral Von Seeckt points out. Ac- cordingly the military plang of the belligerents, which were designed to bring about a quick decision, failed. A long drawn-out strug- gle ensued which was brought to a conclusion by the sheer exhaustion of the Central Powers. He lays no blame on the military leaders. "Their actions wers determined by the numbers at their disposal and the only course open to them was again and again to throw their for- ces against the opposing forces un- til those on one side or the other were exhausted," i 3ut a lot of experience was gain- ed in the Great War. 'Modern warfare," he declares, 'makes such demands upon the moral qualities of the soldier that it is not sufficient for him to be patriotically minded; he must be a soldier in thought and action. It is almost impossible to keep alive, for any length of time in a national army, the military spirit on whieh success depends. As a natipnal army is a mirror reflect- ing the national will, the danger exists that if this will is wrongly directed the military reaction may lead to a national disaster." . He does not wish to do away with universal military service, but he contends that an army raised in this way should not be merged In the regular standing army, but should be looked upon as a second line of defense. The army that he consist of volunteers serving for a term of six years, although he be- lieves that 'for the higher ranks and for technical experts a longer period of service might be neces- gary." The material situation of members of the Army must be good, and their industrial future after discharge must be secured, especiate ly in the case of long service men, ---------------- VERY BUSY (Arkansas Gazette Such statistics on crime as we have run across indicate that there is no unemployment in that industry, 4 It Would Be Easy to Select Suitable Gifts for Everyone if you visit our store or consult our gift lists, Cameras ....98¢c to $32.00 Nickle Flashlights ....98¢ Lavender Bath Salts $1.00 Houbigant Compacts ..99¢c Georgia Rose Bath Salts 75¢ Georgia Rose Bath Powder .......
