Paris, July 10th.—The plan for the re- organization of France’s army of 660,000 men was distributed among the members of Parliament today by Colonel Jean Fab- ry, reporter for the Chamber army com- mission. It contemplates a modernized force based on the lessons of the great war, with serious attention to new devel- opments in aviation and war materials. Aviation and gas., the report says, are menacees of the future. Germany, by force of ecircumstances, must seek her field of action in the air, therefore France must be strong there. ‘"We are prepar- ing the army for war, which we are re- sodved to prevent’’ continues the report, “bhut must be ready to strike the first blow. France is now supzrior to other pations in aviation, except perhaps bomb- ing pl nes, but she cannot rest satisfied | and must not be content with machine- | guns in the air, for p:rhaps the timeis | near when aerial cannon will appar’’ | Colonel Fabry presents three conclusions, | Forst. ‘‘France, so long as she bases her | existence and re. sect for her rights upon the prestige of her strength, must, be- cause of her will for peace, maintain | such an army.”’ Second. That the army, | solidly constructed uvpon the lessons of | the war, ought to be definitely guided | toward the utilization and search for | more perfected armaments than those | with which the enemy can be equipped, so that the ariyy may retain the prepond- | erance of forcé we are going to giveit. | **Third. The time may come when those | who must decide whether to refuse or to | accept, or even anticipate war, will have to bear a heavy responsibility, and be- ! cause of the very bru.ality and eflicacy of the first blows struck, it is important | to give them, instead of receiving | them’’. The plan which is the third and | final stage in the reorganization of national land air defense, provides | for thirty-two divisions of infantry, each with four regiments and detach- | . ments of cavalry and ¢ .illery, the caval- | | ry being redueced to five divisions. Re- | | serves would be formed by thirty regi- | ments of cavalry and forty-eight regi- ’ ments of artillery. The army would .n- } | clu_e also a great number of technical | ! units. The aviation force would be | | composed of 132 con:bat saiadrons, 76 | . obzervatiom squadrons, and 34 auxiliary | ! service squadrons, with a personnei ol ¢ | about 33,000. The plan is based on | eighteen months service each class of | | conseripts furnishing about 20 000 with | | about 100,000 professional soldiers con- | stantly in the army. The officers would . e reduced about one fifth from the period | . before the war, there remaining 107 gen- | erals of division and a total of about 30,000 officers. A table comparing the pro- | posed organization with the army at the | en i of the war showvs a slightly less per- | centage in the infantry, hospital service | | and administrative employees, a greaier | { percentage of tanks, artillery and avia- | tion. Th2 cavalry numbers mcre than | at the time of the Armistice, but is re- | duced from what had been originally in- | tended. The total army will number 660,000 and will be composed of 460,000 French troops and 190,000 colonials and 10,000 foreign legionaries.
