The Petit Parisien says: “The first paragraph of the reso- lution adopted by the Chamber, which deals with the High Command, means that the reorganization will effect its- personnel and that new officers will be called to the command. The second paragraph dealing with the general conduct of the war and with the ec- onomic organization of the country, is equivalent to saying that there wiill be a sort of war council, analogous of what Premier Lloyd George demands, for England. and that an economic ,l _ ..-i ' » 'i :W | i ,»council will also be created; "The third paragraph treats offtlie appointment of ,sacliilgisp among the Allies, and the mdni U0 obtain from the Allies a diminution of the efforts demanded of France byl,»,,di» viding the burden more equitably." _ Reorganlze High Command ‘ "The two principal points of _thi- resoultion adopted are the reorgani- zation of the high' command ami the reduction of the' number of men in the Government who have charge of the general conduct of the wir.
