Copyrlpht, OtO, by Tim Son MP Ntw YoK HUUID. Bkkuk, Juno 6. The most Important factor of German disarmament to bo discussed at tho Spa conforenco is whether or not Germany will bo per mlttecl to retain an army 200.000 strong and what disposition will bo made of ths Safety Police. On these points tho German delo-pit- es will use nil the leeway permitted them to support their views that an army 200,000 strong and an ample Safety Police aro necessary to tho maintenance of order In Germany, and on both polnta It Is probablo that they will And 11,0 Allies opposed to them, thouRh from different standpoints. On all other matters of dlfterencs whli'ti now exist between Germany and the Entente Allies the Germans aro Uktly to agree to fulfil the Allies' In- terpretation of tho Treaty of Ver- sailles in so far oa it Is possible for them to do so. Tho question ot German fulfilment of tho military clauses of tho treaty has been tho basis of infinite conclud. ins statements. To a layman It must have seemod to be a simple affair. Either tho stipulations of tho treaty would be carried out or they would not bo carried out, and if not, then the Germans must be trying to de- ceive the Allies. But tlio more one Investigates the matter the more ono Is struck with the fart that disarmament here is qulto as much a psychological as a material problem. Confusion Over Military Supplier. The utmost confusion lins existed In Germany since the nrmlstlce, especially to the military department. Millions of German soldiers took their arms and ammunition home, countless supplies have b?cn destroyed or converted Into raw materials which are' serviceable for Industry, while unodlclnl military clans have utilized their Importance to Uio Government to build up their own strength. Caches of munitions have been hidden In various parts of the country. There Is no Inventory of German mili- tary supplies; there la no Inventory of the supplies which have been destroyed. There Is even no strong central authority which Is able to disarm civilians or to disband all the independent military groups. Tho Interallied Military Commission, by the very necessity of this situation correspondent Reorganization authoritatively Elnwohnerwchr policy must act on assumption ofnC!al available. will more they icarned officer nauon wuungiy exportation munitions, helpless.' A Tank of narffntnlnsr. The Interallied Commission Is not In jvosltion to carry through pro- gramme. must deal with the German Government, and tho German Govern- ment as tho commission has learned heterogeneous contain-- , cartridges, war number who 1,537,000.

If says, \We be satis fled with two million,\ then tho Germans will keep ten but the com- mission presses too severely the Ger- mans will become Irritated. This Is only hypothetical case, but It shows how tp.uch easier to romethlng than Is to have the demand carried out Under these circumstances can be that the Commission Is performing distinguished service by bringing German far has gone. Assuming that the clairrw are accurate and that effectives ere reduced by May 15 to 200,000, this means the reduction within relatively brief an army 12,000,000 officers and men to cofps. and, looking at this perspective, the French assertion that the German army alone, exclusive of military organizations, 270,000 effectives does not diminish the magnitude of the task the Allied Commission has achieved. The Germans declare that this achievement also proves their good faith. Summary German Failures The German failure to live to the terms the treaty of Be summarized follows: The number effectives exceeds the treaty and the reorgan izatlon of the Relchswehr Is being car- ried out on the basis of army of 200,000 strong, which has not yet'been granted, The size of the police force exceeds mat of 1913. Too much artillery has been placed In the eastern fortifications. The destruction of war material Is of war have been ex- ported. National Assembly has not rassed laws In force the treaty terms, and, therefore the mobilization and universal military service laws are \ill on the statute books. This analysis does not lnclud the aaval and aviation clauses. Extent Fulfilment. The treaty can regarded as fulfilled so far as the following demands are encerncd The and the disarming ertho western fortifications. The reduction of the military force In the neutral zone. Tho reduction in the number of military academies. The to the Allies of Ger- man military concerning the of explosives and chemical preparations. In to the first of the violations, the hero of Tire Bum and Niw York was informed by an allied officer that the Germans did not reckon the troops In the neutral rone with the Itelohswehr, which might be 230,000 strong. However, the com- mission has had no opportunity to check It up. Furthermore, there are 40,000 men In tho Frelcorps, which, although officially disbanded, has been distributed as unified groups throughout eastern Germany, the men being employed as workers on the Junker estates. The officers who gave this Information declared that these Frelcorps groups were authorized by tho German Government, and as they worked out they havo gone Into the country wit hthelr officers, their arms and ammunition. This information was confirmed by oiner sources, where it was declared that the Frlecoms. reactionary tn ilm last man, constituted force which was dangerous to tho stability of tho Gov. ernment. of the nelchsrvehr. Tho reorganization of the Helens-weh- r which Is now planned contem- plates the maintenance of an artillery arm, Which Is now allowed hv thft trpntv and provides for twice the number of ofHer formations stipulated In the treaty. In other words, the Germans are pro- - uuins wnn ineir army plans as though an a.-ni- y of 200,000 officers and men. including artillery, was authorized by tho allied Powers. If these plans are warncu mrougn, was said, the forco would be the nucleus or seventeen army corps. An allied officer said that 7,000 (Emergency Volunteers) were used In the Ruhr actions, and when they were returned home those who went uavaria were by General who addressed them as follows: \You are now dlsbandd! hernn Entente requires It, hut your country needs you you will found ready to yuur uuiy. An order was Issued dissolving the (Citizens Defence Forco or Civil Guard), but was not lived up to, particularly In South Germany. An Informant of tho correspondent hero of The Sun and New York Hc.au estimated tho strength of tho Zeltfrcl-wllllg- e at 120,000 officers and men and that of tho Elnwohnerwchr nt 2.nnn nnn Regarding tho police, the peace treaty permits) It to be maintained at the samo strength as In 1913, but this has neces- sarily been In size beiaiise of the Introduction of the eight hour day. Allied officers expressed anxiety the Safety Police (tho which they described as military organization of men, well omcerea ana nrmca with rifles nnd ma. emtio guns. Is composed exclusively of officers, commissioned and and ot men who have had at least years service at the front. In case of need this organization could be padded Into an army on the basis of tnreo companies to one. With regard to the number of pieces of artillery in the fortifications, negotia- tions are In progress which are practi- cally certain to end In tho withdrawal of the German claims. At tho present time the Germans have more than 5,000 guns In these fortifications. 20,000 Ammunition Plants. The Allied Commission has Inspected only about 1.000 factories out of some 20.000 plants\ where ammunition has been manaufacturcd. The list of muni- tion manufactories which the treaty per- mits to be operated has not yet bceii made. The Germans when they were asked what factories they desired to have designated gave list of Including the Krupp, the Erhardt and the Spandau works. These, with other large concerns, are sufficient, it was declared, to supply army of 7,000,000 men with ammuni- tion. With regard to the violation of the treaiv nmvl(nn nnportiino- - must follow of nagging.

List Delnir Checked Dp. The amount of material destroyed can only be approximated, because no rec- ords could be kept after the armistice and during the revolution regarding what had happened to army supplies. The Interallied Commission has not questioned that large quantities oft war material have been destroyed and that the metals were taken for Industrial purposes, but they are unable to provo er to disprove the reliability of the Ger- man statement The second list Is now being checked up. One of the treaty clauses calls for tho return of Allied war materials cap- tured by the Germans. It Is proving Im- possible to fulfil this clause, because practically all of this material was con- verted Into metals for manufacturing purposes before the armistice was signed. POLES WIN GROUND IOST TO BOLSHEVIKI Polish-America- n Relief Train Shelled but No One Hurt. Jtj the Associated Press. WAnsAW, Juno 6. Reinforcements have been thrown In all along the line of the northern front and the Poles aro dally regaining the ground recently lost to the Bolshevlkl, says an official com- munication issued y. The Bolshe- vik! are reported to be withdrawing across the Upper Bereslna River.. The Poles are continuing their suc- cessful attacks and have occupied Glu-bok- 65 miles east of Sventsleny, and Dokchltcha, 15 miles south of Glubokot, taking many prisoners, with guns and other booty. The Bolshevlkl, to cover their retreat, attacked In strength at several places, trying to cross the Middle Bererlna. They were repulsed. \The enemy, with strong reinforce- ments, Is concentrating before Bobruisk (on tho Bereslna 8S miles southeast of Minsk) for an attack on our bridge- head,\ the statement continues. \A Bol- shevik column of Communists and ma- rines was routed with the loss of four armored, automobiles, a tank and one big gun.\ A Polish-Americ- relief expedition train in command of Lieut Arthur Fox ot Philadelphia and six roldlera has been shelled by the Bolshevlkl on the road between Minsk nnd Borlsov. All the relief workers escaped' Injury and the damaged train was rescued. Medical supplies were captured by the Bolshe- vlkl when tho Americans evacuated a sanitary station. French Crops Estimated. Paris, June 6. August' Isaac, Minis- ter of Commerce, to-d- estimated the coming wheat crop of France and Al- geria nt 6,500,000 tons nnd tho rye and barley harvest at 1,500,000 tons. Wheat to the amount of 8,500,000 tons Is neces- sary for French consumption, the Min- ister pointed out, besides a million tons for seed. THE SUN AND NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1920.

Particularly in comparison with the amount of effort one puts into them. But the Rotary Club of; New York has discovered one thing that has paid and will continue to pay big, fat dividends, ad infinitum. It wo:uld be folly to try and estimate how many sermons have been delivered on the sub- ject \Does it pay to be good?\ But it is not preposterous to suppose that every minister of the gospel has stayed up late, at least once in his ministerial career, to write a stirring sermon on that text. Greater than this is the fact that practically every man and woman who is of an introspective turn of mind has put the question to himself at some stage of the game. And many times the answer seems to be \No- -it does not pay.\ The Rotary Club of New, York thinks otherwise. .It wanted to do .something big, something that would benefit a great number of people. So it shouldered the responsibility of the great campaign for the uplift of the under- privileged boy in New York City. To do the thing properly meant that the business men who are members of the club would have to give up time which they were inclined to spend elsewhere on more frivolous things; that they would have to give up money which they were inclined to spend elsewhere, on pleasanter things; that they would have to sacrifice here and there to put the big work over properly. In other words they woud have \to be good.\ Perhaps in the beginning some Rotarians asked themselves \Does it pay?\ But that day is done. They don't ask it any more. It does pay. It has paid. It will pay for a long, long time. The amount of good that the Boys' Work Campaign has accomplished to date has stacked up a principal in the morality bank of this city which will pay for generations to come. The citizens of the future will wear its D. S. 0. The underprivileged boys who have been taught to \be good\ know now that it pays. And the men who were instrumental in the teaching find it again and again. The Rotary Club of New York is unanimous in the decision that it DOES PAY. And so will you, if you try it. TTifl is true of Rotary audits boiis' rcork is true in every day business and in everything tec undertake in life. It pays to he Good. Next Issue Times, June U, 1920 The Rotary Club of New York is an organization of men representing all lines of commercial activity. Its purpose is to lift men and business to a higher ethical letel.
