GERMANY'S ARMED FORCES MORE CLASSES CALLED UP AN ADDITIONAL 400,000 MEN (Independent Cable Service) PARIS, July 9. French military experts estimate that Germany is calling up an additional 400,000 men. Notices appeared in Germany yesterday summoning the army classes of 1906, 1907, 1910-12 to 1920 for examination. Nazi spokesmen declare that only a few thousand men are affected, and that the calling up is normal. Close observers point out that a number of mobilisations have been reported, but there have been no reports of demobilisation. Some estimates put the number of men under arms in Germany at more than 1,000,000.
