NOT A MENACE.
GERMANY'S POSITION. QUESTION OF RESERVISTS. (TOITED PRESS - ASSOCIATION —B? EDECTEIC TELEGRAPH— COPYRIGHT.) (Received September 19th, 9.20 p.m.) BERLIN, September 18. General Wilhelm Groener, Minister for Defence,"at a banquet at the oonclusion of Army manteuvres in the south-west of Germany, said only one cavalry and one infantry division participated with dummy tanks and wooden guns.There were no aeroplanes which contrasted with the French manoeuvres ' held within a fortnight, each, with fifty thousand men. • "This comparison alone," he said, "gives the lie to those who see our army as a menace to our neighbour. Those who know all that is required of a modern army must know how silly it is to assert that Germany, by mobilising her reservists, would be able to put a big army in the field at short notice."
