13. Popular demand for disarmament has gained such momentum throughout the world that governments- will be forced to act to satisfy the "people in the opinion held both by members of congress and officers of the navy. "Armament talk," they pointed out today, has been accelerated with a forcefulness which is certain to lead to action, in the same way that insistent "peace talk" hastened the signing of the armistice. Whether the governments themselves statesmen in power in Europe and Asia sincerely want disarmament on a fair is a question which the house naval affairs committee Ha its hearings on disarmament has not yet determined, but the committee are satisfied that the demand exists. To determine the real attitude of the men who rule was one of the main objects of the hearing instituted by the house committee.

A satisfactory answer was not forthcoming, the committee decided. General Tasker Bliss believed the governments of the world were yearning for disarmament. Secretary Dan iels thought the world was in a mood tp disarm, but insisted the American navy must be as mighty as any oth er, even on a disarmament basis and did not explain how Great Britain would greet this proposal. Acting Secretary of State Davis said the United States had "no official knowledge" as to whether the governments of the world were sincere in their disarmament feelers." But with both the legislative and executive branches of the American government feeling that "something must be done" the question arose today as to what course should be pursued. Significance was attached to the statement of Representative Butler, that he believes steps toward a disarmament conference would be taken within the next few months.

Butler had but recently conferred with President Elect Harding. "Lost" Balloonisls Leave For New York; All's Well (Special by I'nlted Prws) En Route With The American Balloonist, Barry, Ont, Jan. 15.

FRONT OF HUNDREDS OP MILES FRANCE AND ITALY HAVE NOT DISCUSSED ATTI-TUDE THEY WILL TAKE-BAL KAN STATES WILL HAVE SUPPORT, i By EDWIN HULLINGER nucu jrrrsB dmi vuh vhvi.mv p.y Paris, Jan. 13. More than 3,000,000 men will be thrown into fighting along the Russia boundary early this spring, according to information given out by French military experts here today. Their advices indicate the fighting front will extend from 200 to 250 miIes The bolshevik! are expected to launch several major Bpring drives, the French authorities said. Meeting them will be troops from several Balkan states rallying in support of Roumania, Czechoslovakia, Poland and perhaps the border states which Russia wishes to reclaim.

The military strength of the com: trieB expected to enter the fighting is: Russia, 1,000,000 men. Poland 1,000,000 men. Roumania 500,000 men, Baltic states 200,000 men. Military- experts agree that the -men- expected from Poland would be her maximum strength while the million ascribed to Russia was a mere beginning. That number, however, in view of her ability to train and equip an army, is regarded as her maximum for the spring campaign.

They also added to the forces of the nations marked for attack by the men who might be expected from Jugoslavia and Czecho-Slo-vakia. France and Italy have not discussed their attitude but it is expected they, will do so at the coming conference of premiers here. Meanwhile active preparation for war is proceeding at a dozen scattered points in Europe. One of the significant things was the speed with which Italy and Jugoslavia arranged to ratify the Rapallc treaty, composing all differences between the two countries. Statesmen regarded the activity as part of a program to rid themselves of all en cumbrances so the little entente can act unitedly in behalf of Roumania when the expected bolshevik attack occurs.

Roumania is said to be negotiating with the Soviets on the matter altering the Bessarabian boundary line Uh Russia rejecting all p'ropos-als. In many European capitals this Is regarded as an effort by Russia to leave the Bessarabian' provinces an excuse for attack in the spring. urhiio hn northern states see in the projected Russian attack an at-tempt to spread soviet power over Europe; the wuthern nations look up-V on it as a means of opening the way "to Constantinople. Combining the drive through Roumania with an at tack on the eastern side of the Black sea, they believed, the Soviets would be carrying out a plan to link Turkey and RusBla and mak Constan-tlnpple an outpost of bolshevlsm. At the same time the' Mohammedan countries will be thrown open to the Russians.

The southern states looked upon red concentrations along ih.e Polish and Baltic lines largely as measures of defense while the real chock troops and heavy artillery were being piled on the Roumanian- and Azerbaijan fronts. The strength of the red army wan matter of mutb peculation in military circles of alt Europe today. The bolshevikl themselves claimed ability to put men in the field by summer, French experts said. French observers did not doubt the tremendous resources of the -soviet country, but were Rkeptical as to her toitra'a and equip that nura-ber.

Temporary abandonment of the plan for a department of public welfare is considered by President-Elect Harding, due chiefly to the dejnand for government economy. During the campaign Harding declared for a department of public welfare combining the machinery now scattered around various executive departments including the public health service under the treasury de partment, the bureau of education in the interior department an he chiid weiiare organization in me aepari- ment of labor.
