This fact, he says, is perfectly well known by both the British and French authorities. Ger many, it is true, has an organized body of police who ar armed and trained as soldiers, on the ground that the are necessary for the maintenance of public order. Th _ number and distribution of these forces are known. Bu I Germany has today no bombing airplanes, very littlr heavy artillery, no tanks, and, above all, she has praticallj no navy. Further, and perhaps most important of all General Maurice points out, it is not possible for Ger _ many to concentrate rapidly in one area the force. she possesses. I The standing army of Germany today is estimate( to number 400,000, and, in accordance with the terms' o the Treaty of Peace, it has to be reduced by March 2-list of next year to 100,000 men and 1,000 officers. In thesf circumstances, General illauricc says, it would be suicida _for Germany to attempt to resist by force such demand - as the Allies may dccidc to niakc. The only object, li/ says, that those who have raised the l>og'c_v of a secre army can have in view, is to siiggcst that the Allies ar not strong enough to enforce their demands, and if thi be the motive it is, as he points out, an incentive for Ger many to resist.-Ex. r uoiuiixo rl-:'|‘|~:u 'ro i'_\ i' i'.\i'|. mn-1»-i *` ' ' ' ` The Patriot, in its _vesterday`s issue elaborates in de tail the govei‘n_ment’_s proposal to utilize the federal roar S_'1`ant_ Which, when in opposition, it denounced with al gie v_igor it was capable of.
