WANTS KOHE • POWER
i Peace Delegate Argues That Force is
1 Neede i to Cure Germany —Want
Protection of U. t. Fleet
Paris, Feb. 17.—“ There never has
been any disagreement on the funda
moiiial principles of a league of na
tion- between the French delegates
and ihe delegates of the other pow
ers.' said Prof.' Ferdinand Larnaude,
d. an of the Paris law faculty and
one of ihe French delegatee on the
league of nations commission.
“The only differences of opinion
were those express'd on Friday by
Ijimui Bourgeois, with whom I am
completely in accord. We do not
seek an international army for the
purpose of making war, but for the
purpose of preventing it. God knows
we are a peaceful people, and we have
proved it during forty-four years of
j menial anguish in the face of the
military preparations going on east
of us.
“Ft r’her disturbances of the world’s
peace will come from Germany alone.
G> rin; tiv’s nnsatiated greedy appetite,
I her I ; for power and domination,
will return as soon as she feels strong
enough to succeed in aggressions. In
J nril^ M j
j Bourgeois and myself objected to was
i the necessity of being placed In the
position of taking Germany’s word
for anything. Tire German people
have not progressed along the lines
of sincerity.
"We have every confidence In the
nndertakhigs of the United States.
Great Britain. Italy. Japan and all
other members of a league of nations.
We arc willing to accept their word,
hut we desired in tiie future to.avoid
the possibility of having no other
guarantee titan Germany’s engage
ment for our safety.
“Henceforth Germany will strive to
develop her recent chemical discov
eries and devise new mans of destruc
tion in which gunpowder, cannon and
rifles will not enter The Germans
will seek to profit by their develop
ment along the lines of chemical dis
coveries at the exp"nse of other na
tions, which are somewhat belated or
are unwilling to search for now meth
ods of destruction.
“These means of destruction may
easily he concealed, and therefore It is
nut possible for us to accept the de
claration of an interested nation in
such matters, when stub an Interested
nation is Germany.”
Professor Larnaude added that with
now developments in aerial warfare,
Germany might prepare secretly suffi
cient air force to destroy Paris in one
day.
“Surely when Germany enters the
league of nations,” Professor Lnr
nande continued, “she will agree to
sign every undertaking we declare;
hut we know what undertakings mean
to the Germans. Did they not sign
a treaty guaranteeing the neutrality
of Belgium?”
Deferring to the international army
which tlie French desired formed Pro
fessor Larnaude says:
“What we asked for was not an in
ternational army in the strict*, sense
of the word. We tire too grateful for
what America did for ns in the,pres
ent war to expect that she would
again send her men by hundreds of
thousands to future wars. But per
haps we meant the protection of
America’s great fleet. We thotfght It
unfair that France should have to
koe;, n huge stand’ng array to protect
herself from Germany's attacks.
“It will be hard financially. It will
be the harder bc.-att e of our depleted
young manhood, after losing a million
xnd a half men during The war.”

23,908,576 IN THE OiitFT
192,688 Persons Were Employed to
Conduct the Work of Drafting Men
For the Selective Arm/.
Washington, Feb. 17. — In the lust
ten months of The war, 497,U91 men
in the United States were found un
fit for military service, according to
the final report on the -ciccthe draft
by Provost Marshal General Cn.wi>r.
Defective heart ami Id 1 v. - s
were rite causes of most of the r>-
tions, (51,141’ being barred n
cases. Defective bones and :oiti!>
barred 57,744 men from service in (lie
final ten-mouth period, and-4'.ksnl were
rejected because of poor eyes.
The magnitude of democracy's un
dertaking is .emphasized by tbe num
ber of men registered in so short a
time after the passage of tlie selective
service act. Up until the signing of
the armistice, November 11. BUM.
had been registered for military serv
ice 251,004,578 men since June, 1017.
For the organization, alone, of this
draft system, an army of executives,
clerks, advisers and experts had first
to he formed. There was a personnel
of 192.GSS in litis organization force.
"It is true that the raising of the
army by the selective draft was a
measure which touched every home,
every shop, every factory, and every
farm in the country; and, therefore,
there was a natural and universal
popular interest in the processes of
the draft,” General Crowder says in
his report. “Nevertheless, this pop
ular interest might have been that of
mere curiosity, or it might have been
one of sullen distrust or resistant hos
tility. In fact, it was one of active
sympathy and desire to help. The
obvious fairness of the system; its
lirect relation to the raising of the
army, and, therefore, to the winning
of the war, and the opportunity for
service which it presents to those wh
were not qualified to give direct help
to the fighting forces in other ways—
these features enabled the system to
rely upon the voluntary assistance of
thousands upon thousands of men and
women who gladly “did their bit” to
help raise the army.
“As one surveys the ever-widening
circles of cittizens who thus contribut
ed in the work of the system, the
boundaries become more indefinite be
tween the various groups of persons
who gave their help for a longer or
shorter time, until finally the num
bers become countless.”

It was like a resurrection*from the
dead, and a tremendous ovation was
given him by persons who a few
months ago were eulogizing him as
among those who gave their lives for
their country.
Fey, who is not yet nineteen, was
i wounded in the head and arms. For
j three days he lay on the battlefield,
I so apparently dead that he was not

tetnrning life the Germans took him
