American Industry already has been to thoroughly convinced that elusive secret of fixed nltrogsn has now been discovered, that, a half doxen plants are In contemplation, the moat Important one to bo erected b'y the du Pont Interests at Charleston, W. which Is to havo an ultimate capacity of 120 tons of ammonia a day. Tali Is four-fifths the capacity of the Mus cle Shoals plants, erected by the Government In a vain effort to furnish this essential ingredient during the war.

War Department officials say it wai possession of this secret that enabled Germany to go to war In 1914, confident of her ability to supply her own munitions and intensity her agriculture. Independent of the Chilian monopoly- When the United States seized the German patents covering so- called Haber method of nitrogen fixation, it was supposed--erroneously as things turned out--that they furnished the necessary key to establishment of the Industry here.

The French Committee of National Defense under President Paul Bon- courj Socialist, has already discussed reduction ot the army and navy with the staffs of these and if -the present radical government retains Its poweMt will empty the barracks in France and leave a standing army only big enough to handle the colonies, these being largely native troops. The French wish to set an example at Geneva and give the League ot Nations tho credit. Hints of possible disarmament conferences at Washing- ion have always been received In France. The speed with which the French are preparing to announce their disarmament Is an oblique shot it President Codlldge's suggestion. Disarmanent suggestions from, Washington will only fall on deaf ears because they look too much like coercion.

The French wish also to prove their peaceful Intentions by disarming to the limit as soon as possible with security, which Is to date from the signing ot tha treaty London, Tha French Army, under the reorganization adopted In 1923, provides for 660,000 men, 100,000 of which are professional soldiers. Each class of conscripts, who serve eighteen mouths, numbers approximately 250,000. There are 461,000 French troops, 189,000 colonials, and 10,000 in tho Foreign Legion.

There are now 1,962 firs line planes, all post-war models, and a reserve of 4,000 others. France -planned to have 2,560 service planes the end ot this year. A high Foreign Office spokesman, allayed British apprehension regarding the fate ot the Treaty of Locarno by announcing flatly thqt the present German Government will sign the treaty at London. Then the pact will be presented to tho Reichstag, and the Government will flght to the last ditch for Its ratification.

The Government spokesman did not believe dissolution of the Reichstag would be necessary, but was convinced that after tho usual wrangling the pact would'be approved.
