NEW FRENCH
MILITARY SERVICE LAW
Paris, To-day.
The new military service law unanimously passed by the French Chamber makes compul- sory a full two-years' service. Sanction had been given only pro- visionally by the decree of March, 1937.
Another clause empowers the Minister for National Defence to gradually raise the age for calling up recruits to 21, and to release them earlier under certain condi- tions, as for instance, the eldest sons in families of at least five children.
Clause Five extends the pro- visions to Algiers and French, colonies and protectorates.
Extension training is also to be intensified and the Government may require reservists to return to the Colours up to fen weeks in a year, Trans-Ocean.
