U( the till*- checks to lit i riot, th iirs-t was the defeat of his candidate, l'aul 1'uinl- ve. for I'resUieui ol the Keputyfe^hy Uoumergue; the second was the Rejection ot this candidate for President of the senate to s-uo ? eed Doumergue. lie Stive-. a 1'oiti care lieutenant, defeating Itienenu .Martin.

Before his tlcc.luu .Ma gin. a opt li ly locked hoi ns with llerriot in de bate in the Chamber, boldly chal lenging thai portion of Ilu? new Miiu i itf.v'j ? pio-i ai.i which ? i'.\pr? promised the further reduction ot the strength of the French army. Maginot squmvly announced such a project to be not alone dangerous but unpatriotic ? and close upon hi* declaration he li*is been chosen in stead of a follower of llerriot t.? head the War Commission. If this selection means anything it 111 > ana that the French Chamber, despite the triumph of the Left in the last election, is by no mean.-, ready to go 10 extreme limits in a program of disarmament. Indee:. it would see 111 to mean that It is the .-??tiled e 1 > : > v i ( ? t ion ol tin; Fl'-"'h p-. liament that the moment lias nov: come for France to r?-st on her oars and see just what is 10 be the prac tical effect of her recent concessions to world opinion ami to the general cause of appeasement. Fiance is Wailing Since the close of the war the French army has been reduced one half; that is, the part of the army which is made up from the annual contingents of recruits. This result has been achieved automatically by the reduction of the period of ser vice with the colors from three one a- I a half years. In his an nouncement of his legislative pro gram Harriot had pledged himself to *a fur; her reduction which hud been, estimated to insure a maximum per iod of service of a year and perhaps a drop e*s;n to nine month?. Roughly speaking the annual class, that i?, the recruits called up each - year for military tra rmn g, numbers something more than 200.000. Thus the conscript army of Franc e Is now. In round numbers 300,000. In addi tlon there Is. theoretically, a perma nent stiffening represented by 100,- j 00 re-enlisted and thus professional ' soldiers, corresponding to our own and the British regulars, although.; of course, they are merged with the rest of the force. But so far as I cau ascertain, the French have not been' able to recruit their 100,000 to full - strength. ? ? In any er*Trt the regular army of France, outside of the colonial con-i tlngents. numbers around 400.000' under the new establishment, which I has been adopted since the war, and | was. I think actually arranged for by the legislation passed during the] session of 1922. when there was a| long fight over the question of a one! year or 1 8-month service period. In the end the 12-month period was re-j jected not because there was much j doubt as to the adequacy of a year as a period of tralrJng. but because, of the belief of the majority that In the situation of K 11 rope which then ; existed, France needed an army of the size the 18 months' service pe riod would Insure. The reduction of the French army then,' from the pre-war strength oil 1914, falls little short of f?0 per; cent. And this reduction has nat urally entailed a thorough remodel ling of the whole force, reduction in j the number of divisions-. ' re-adjust- 1 ment of the location of the troops as' between the several brunches of the! service; and this task, really enor mous, ha* hardly been completed. Therefor*1 a second re-adjustment, which called for another cut. this time of a third at least, would pre sent a very serious problem. Herrlot and the Ituhr In addition, one has to take Into ?flrrount the matter of the TTuhr and Khinelnnd occupation. It Is true that Herrlot has announced that he INVERT TOLH S AVINCS IV SAFE HON DM.

A^",n th- coidn-BS may he traced -In Part to the false r-port clrcnUt-d just after tli- meetlnK. that H-rriot had obtaln.il from MacUonald a new trealv pIvIiik Franc- a British mili tary cat.rantee. An enudiatlc denial of this rumor by MacDonald left Herrlot with the appearane- <>r com ing home -mpty handed and of hav ing mad- all the sacrifices to restore Anglo-French harmony. Nor were tho French mor* ?-n thuslasttc over the explicit aer-r ment that at th- forthcoming Lon don conference the matter of later allied debts will not be discussed, a decision which must have been made. In part at least. In deferenci ] to the stand of the American (.ov j-rnment on this matter. Surely ?i" should not have consented to be rep resented. had the debate over the debt been permitted. Hut on the other hand. to the French it looks dangerously as if on. of the things piiMiiiMil them by previous British pr? miers. namely a reduction, a dras tic reduction if not a canc? llation of their debt to Britain to balance thi Ir reduction of thejr claim* up* i Ger many. was now b. inu ?| u i? fly wirh drawn. Herrlot had to come hack from London with no assurance in the matter of security and no promise in the matter of Inter-allied debts. Prom the French point of view thin was a failure which was hardly bal anced l?v the outward evidences of improved atmosphere in Anulo Frencli relations. And Paris took about as cynical and unenthusiastlc a tone as it had In ?? n accustom* d t?? take when Itriand and his predeces sors journeyed abroad to meet I.!oyd George and came back with ? mpty hands, also. All the checrinu over the London meeting. that is. the Chequers week-end. was on the Brit isli side of i lw Channel, which was a little unfortunate to sa v the bast. It follows <1 <i it** logically that lb r rlot v ill have to do better at the ii? \t London Conference or t!' ?? ? will l?. ? trouble.

Meantime ev: rything dep. nds up on Herrfot's next visit to KnUand. I He had definitely committed himself to continuing in occupation of the I Ruhr until (Germany makes all th ! necessary changes of law and trans fers of title incident to the applica tion of the Dawes report.
