DISARMAMENT OF GERMANY.
Paris, Sept. 5.
French papers believe that the Powers would consent to practically blockade Germany again by cutting off comfierce, food, supplies of raw material and finance if the peuple in England, France, America and Italy could be made to realize that there was a danger of losing all benefits obtained through: winning the war by letting Von der Goltz go ahead building up a reactionary military machine, while the Allies, having demobilized, are disarming. The following motion was in. troduced by the Peace Commission in the Chamber of Deputies: The Chamber invites the Government to engage in negotia- tions with the signatories of the Treaty of Versailles for the adoption of an addition to the treaty making the disarmament of Germany and its Allies effective by the prohibition of the manufacture of certain war material and all measures judged necessary. The French Premier told the Chamber of De- puties that the Treaty, particularly Article 168, sufficiently arms France against German war manufacture, preventing the building of further munition factories, He concluded lis
speech by making this point the basis of a demand which Le will make for a vote of confidence. The majority of the Com. mission approved the Premier's arguments.-Havas

The Rev. C. J. Sharp, vicar of Ealing, remarking on the fact that only two churches, the Roman Catholic and the Fly- mouth Brethren, were unrepre- sented at Ealing's Peace service, writes in his parish magazine:— "There are a few who seem not. to desire fellowship. and from ther there comes no response to any sort of invitation, whether civic, denominational, or inter- denominational. It is this spirit which is the greatest obstacle to union. Until people come to take a friendly interest in their neighbours, it is obvious that there will not be cooperation."
