Wnstilnrtnn, Jan IS - A sudden iJiecU
may be put on the preent r.ipnl r.ite of
demobilization of tV Allied armies', ok
peclally that of the fulled Stales, from
which men are tieiiiR illMchnreed more
than twice an fan ns from any nf the
other annles ihlcli foUKht (Jermany.
V plan for rieniolilllxntlon of all the
armies that fciuRlit iicainM Ormany on
a basis that will lie fair hi all will prob
ably bo one of the first matter romvicl
ered at the 1'nrls I'mce Conferences.
Such a plan Is almost sure to fix the rate
for d?mobillzhiR the American army at
much below what It Is now, Wnr De
partment ofllclals believe.
Tito statement of lieneral rev ton (
March, chief of ninlT. n few clays ao
that the American army Is being ele
mobilized morn than twice as rapidly as
the British nnny, which stands second
In that respect, has brought forth con
siderable criticism from Kranre and
England, particularly the former.
The French stateMnen and newspapers
are decIarlnK that France suffered such
n loss of man-power during the war
that her farms and factories haw been
paralyzed nmro sexerely than any other
nation's
The British people are clamoring for
the return of their tlBhtinB men, who
were In the war four weary years.
The peace conferees lmve discussed
Informally the fUestlon of keeping a for.
mldable Allied army In the Held to meet
any possible eentuallty, It Is learned
at tho State Department, and lmve.
reached an agreement upon It. That the
next step will be an 'arrangement for
demobilizing tho Feveral armies on a
set prorata basis Is considered as fol
lowing tho natural course
To put a cheek on demobilization of
the selective service army now Idle
end lacking incentive to do soldiering in
the face of the demand nf tho relatlcs
and former employes of the men for
their quick dismissal, Is considered by
"War Department otllclals as a serious
proposition.
Tho situation In Russia, where some
happening may Inflame the whole papu
lation over night tuid throw It Into clll
war or revolution or into conflict with
tome other nations, Is regarded by State
and War Department otllclals as the
most serious facing tho Allies toda, and
one justifying tho keeping of a good
sized, well-balanced and equipped army
In the field to deal with it. Should 11
formidable Allied army become neces
sary In llussla it would likely be made
up of organizations from several Allied
countries and hae 11 quota of Ameri
cans In its ranks.
Poland Is also gmng the Allies some
.oncern from both a military and dip
lomatic ewpolnt. The arrival there
of I'aderewsl.l. who Is opposed to the
power of tieneral I'llsudsW, who recently
declared 11 dictatorship, may bring about

In private Is, In order that differences
may be reconciled nnd agreements
reached beforo tho stage of publicity
Is begun, The essence of the ileni'
ncrntlc method Is not that inn tleiioera-
tlons of a government be conducted
In public, but that ItH conclusions be
subject to tho consideration of a popu
lar chamber and to freo nnd open dis
cussion on the platform iiml by tho
press. '.
Reasons for Secrecy
" 'nepresentntlvcs of the Allied nnd
associated Powers nro holding conver
sations In order to solve questions
which iiffect tho vital Interests of
many nations mid upon which they
tnnv at present hold many diverse
views. These deliberations cannot pro-
ceed by thn method of a majority
vote. No nation can bo committed
"xcvpl by the freo vote of Its own
'"".. J ,1D A ", 1,1 " JiVVr.
In these, consultations' thereforo can
only 'lie formed by the difficult process
of rcnchlng tin agreement among thorn.
" 'This vital process would only bo
hindered. If every disputed question
were open, by 11 public declaration by
each delegation of Its own national
point of view. Such a declaration
would In many cases bo followed by
premature public controversy.
" 'This would bo serious enough If It
were confined to controversy between
parties within each State. It might
bo extremely dangerous If. as would
often bo Inevitable,. It resulted In con
troversy between tuitions.
"Moreover. hucIi nubile declarations
would render Hie glvo and take on the
part of the delegates themselves, vvmen
is essential to n successful negotiation,
a matter of Infinitely greater difficulty.
II la ntun eylremlv lnitiortntit that nil
