FRENCH ARMY POLICY.
DOWN TO SAFETY MARGIN.
CAUTIOUS EYE ON GERMANY. Times. LONDON. Nov. 7. The military correspondent of the Times concludes a long article on army changes in France by stating: "France is transforming and reducing her army without waiting for any disarmament conference. Her intentions are peaceful but she does not want to be caught napping, and will remain armed."
The writer shows that the recent French military decisions were undoubtedly rendered necessary to a great extent by lack of man-power, but says: "Although the French find themselves compelled to reduce their army, they nevertheless intend that it shall remain strong and efficient. The idea underlying the scheme of reorganisation remains unaltered. It is to protect France against the danger of annihilation by Germany, which country is still regarded as a potential enemy."
