FRENCH DEFENCE.
BIGGER VOTE URGED. CONCERN OVER GERMANY. Received September 20, 9.35 a.m. PARIS, Nov. 19. “Although France does not intend to increase her arms expenditure at present, I consider, in view of German armaments, that the Government might well be asked for a further £13,000,000 for national defence,” declared tlie Budget reporter (M. Aichmbaud), addressing the Chamber of Deputies’ finance committee. Germany had eight hundred thousand men under arms and would shortly have a million. The strength of the French Army ready to meet a German attack was only 338,000.
