FRANCE ARGUES OVER CUT IN ARMY SERVICE New Plan of One Year Becomes Effective Today — Editors: Although France's pre•entday army is smaller than it has been since years before the World War, it Is claimed to be more efficient as a fighting force. Effective from 'o-day, a new policy of reor--anizaHon goes into effect. This article is the first of two in which France's fighgting machine is analyzed. By Richard D. McMillan United F i ess Staff. Correspondent Pm , Nov. 3 (UP) For the first time since France became a Republic. the peri hi ot compulsory service in t ,e army has been reduced from IS mouths to a year, effective today. By this law the nation reduces its army 100,000 men, a drastic cut which has brought criticism from Nationalists who see a new danger in the growth of the German Fascist spirit. The French Government mainalas t e country thus gives proof hat its desire for peace is stronger than mere words. Since 1928. when the 12-months’ military i.ervkp law was voted. France's military advisers have tone about the task of preparing or the army's reorganization. German F. rniahes Idea It was 'lie former leader of the cman Reichswehr, General von See. kt, who gave French strategists the new i lea. "The Allies at Versailles”, said General von Seec'.-ta, “imposed upon G< many the type of army best ad apted to war of the future. A small mobile army q ick to move and quick to strike is more deadly than i ponderous mass of men slow to

The military maneuvers, carried I out by French forces during the I summer and autumn on the Italian and German frontiers convinced the French High Command, headed by I Minister of War Andre Maginot, I that the German general was right. In all, an army of slightly more than 100,000 men was in the field, equipped with every war device known to science. 523,769 Effectives France's army of one year's service is expected, to total 523,769 effectives, although according to M. Briand at Geneva the figure is 556. 000, representing a reduction of 41 per cent. According to report, M. Maginot | i Is credited with the idea of a super- ‘ •efficient fighting group of 200,000 men available for any given danger Loint, while the remaining force 300,000 odd men would be reinforcements. There are 106,000 professional [•"relict soldiers, but it is alleged ha. only 46.000 remain in France, the remainder being spread among the overseas posse sions. From the onscripts, France could rely at a ;iven time only 90,000 as being efficient soldiers, it is claimed, thus leaving France at a disadvantage a,;ainst Germany, with figures re>ectively 136,000 and 250,000. _ o - SHORT COURSE IN AST PUNNED Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 3 —Art patrons of Adams county are invit'd to attend the second art appreciation short couise which will be held at the John Herron Art Institute.

FINAL PLANS FOR ELECTION ARE COMPLETE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) county with majorities of about 2,0u0 votes. Claude C. Hall, coiigresM onal candidate, should get about 2.000 more votes than Albeit H. Vestal, observers say. Ball's chances depends largely on his ability to cut the Republican margin in Randolph and Delaware counties. Mayor George Dale at Muncie, Democrat, is said I to be fighting the Democrat candt-, date In Delaware county. This, however, is counteracted with the fact that many Vestal supporters have gone to Ball in Madison county. State Chairman Earl Peters sta ed that the Democratic hopes for victory in the state hinged on Lake and Marlon county returns. He stated that he b dieved all other indiistrial centers including Fort Wayne. South Bend and Evan, rille would give Democrats b'g majorities. Marion county, it is believed will cont'nue its effort to rid that county of the Republican Coffin mmcli’ne and will therefore elect Democrat county officials. If this swing is marked enough the Democrat state tciket also should carry Marion county. More hope is extended for Democrats in Lake county tlr's year than ever before. The non-politi-cal better government union of Lake county, composed of thousands of prominent Lake county [ people has endorsed four Democrat ■■ for office, including Hon. Herman Center, for county treasurer. Mr. Confer Is a native of Decatur, but has resided in Gary for the last several years.

They , predicted that the lower house bt tho legislature would be republican, , .is ft has since 1916. Inter st In election of the state , ticket has been lacking and the outcome <f this race may depend I upon the way the general election pendulum swings. The fight ov r the r ferendtim on ;a constitutional convention has been more or less apathetic. Reports from the rural Beetle ns indicate that the convention will be eni dorsed by farmers, and organized i labor and the 1 ague of women votlers are predicting that their mombens will vote for tho convention. -c Huge Hammer “Lost” Austin, Tex. —(UP) Lots of workmen have mislaid hammers but , the prize disappearance is that ot a 10.501) pound one, it was "lost” from the east end of Lake Wor'h bridge near Fort Worth.
