THE GERMAN ARMY
HUGE EXPENDITURE FRANCE SURPRISED DISPROPORTIONATE SUM (United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 7th January, 10.30 a.m.)] PARIS, 6th January. France is surprised at Germany's defence Budget of £35,000,000. It is pointed out that for her skeleton army of 100,000 men, which has been deprived of tanks, airplanes, and big guns, Germany will spend in 1928 more than she spent before the war on the Imperial j Army of 700,000 men. Critics are concentrating on an item of £140,000 for the maintenance of gas masks, and ask if the repairs include gold plating.
