LUXEMBOURG MAY RAISE AN ARMY
Within
the past few Mainly as a result of political ob- jections the scheme was not proceeded months the question of creat-with. ing a small defence force for Luxembourg has been raised.
One proposal, sponsored by Prince Felix, husband of the Grand Duchess, envisages the formation of an army of 7,000 or 8,000 men whose function it would be to destroy frontier bridges and to render roads impassable in the event of a threatened invasion of Luxembourg.
The object the Prince had in mind was to check the invading force for a time sumcient to allow friendly forces to come to the aid of Luxembourg.
It was his firm opinion that such a scheme would give a good chance to friendly forces to occupy the major portion of the Grand Duchy before a hostile army could cross the frontier in force.
TALK WITH PRESIDENT
Apparently the opponents to the scheme pin their faith for the future security of Luxembourg on the ex- cellent impression left in the United States by Prince Felix when he re- the presented the Grand Duchy at New York Exhibition, and on the hope of American intervention in the case of invasion.
Following conversations with Prince Felix, President Roosevelt is stated to have given assurances that he would never lose sight of the fact that the Grand Duchy, in the case of a Euro- pean conflagration, might be in need of help.
a
Responsible opinion, however, is inclined to doubt whether American protection could be applied if Luxem- bourg continues to limit herself to policy of unarmed neutrality, a policy which can only be favourable to power disposed to violate her tory.
