LAND FORCES.
Limitation Proposed By Lord Cecil. UNWELCOME TO FRANCE. GENEVA, September 17. Some stir among the representatives of those countries where conscription is in force was caused by. the circulation of a motion by Viscount Cecil. This urged the Preparatory Commission on Disarmament of the League of Nations to consider the limitation of land, sea and aerial material and personnel, including the restriction of numbers and the period of training. The motion involves the thorny question of trained reserves which France does not welcome. She thinks it entails going back on" the previous British acceptance, under protest, during th-3 Anglo-French naval discussions,. of the French view—the exclusion of reserves. Lord Cecil's; idea is to induce a fresh attempt to find a formula with which' to approach land and air armaments similar to the "yardstick" in the case, of the Anglo-American naval negotiations.
