Paru, Franc*.—In an article in the

of the exist) >< German Army and the
French military attitude toward it.
The Peace Treaty, he says, having
rerngniaed and confirmed the unity
of Germany ha* brought about the
unity of its army. Until the end of
the war. the various countries com
posing the German Empire had their
own military administrations. Their
armies were naturally under the con
trol of the Imperial* Ministry, bat
nevertheless-., they presented an ap
pearance of independence whi h Has
now been done away with. The only

ezista a certain number <f militia and
police formations which, although
they have been given ether names, and
plaead under the Ministry of the
Interior, are no leas the rssei ves for
the national army.
This army, which by Ike terms of
the Peers Treaty, mnat he reduced to
10M00 man from April next, actually
numbers, k is said, «MMO0 men. Seme

divine. Baity was standing close to
Sheriff Zachary when the former fired
the fatal shot, the powder burns ig
niting the officer's overcoat and Che
kfeue wan extinguished by Rev. Nr.
Caudle.
The coasmunity in which the crime
was committed is said by officers to
'be bad for blockading, nearly all at
the people in that section being to
sympathy with the making of whisky.
Preachers who dare to touch aa pro
hibition in their atfnaons are soon
made to realise that such docti ine is
not appreciated.
Before the arrest at Ike partiea this
