GERMAN NAVY.

EAR-REACHING DECISION

PARIS, March 8. Mr Lloyd George's motion to reduce the German army is based on the.fact that.the yearly recruiting is 200,000. This would give the enemy the possibility of railing up 1,000,000 men in five years, therefore a voluntary professional army is essential, which will

not receive high strategical and tactical training. It will not have any artillery except machine, guns, but will be really; a police force. The Conference's decision should have a widespread effect. With the war power of Germany, Austria, Russia and Turkey destroyed, and Britain and the United States standing for voluntaryism the ancient curse of Europe is to be lifted, and France aud Italy will find their terrible economic burdens lightened.

PARIS, March 8. As a result of Mr Lloyd George's pressure the Peace Conference will probably decide that the German army shall consist of only 85,000 men, com-, posed of professional soldiers who' must enlist voluntarily.
