' CTRICT censorship keeps from the v world most of the news concerning con-cerning the warfare between Ro Hvla and Paraguay over the Gran Thaco, bnt It Is known that the fighting continues with Increased fury. "TJie minister. of war at Iji Pas has announced an-nounced that Gen Hans Kundt, Ger man military ex . pert who organised and trained Bo livia's nuHlern army has consented to lead that army agnlnst the Para guayans. The latter appear to have eometent commanders, command-ers, also, and have shown no signs of yielding to their opponents. The Argentine war ministry at Rueno Aire staled that many deserter from 'he Bolivian forces operating tn the Gran "haro were entering Argentine territory. tlves, and officials of most1 Cuban cities were chosen.

Especially was be Interested In the new French plan Norman Davis laid before the bureau, bu-reau, which calls for the adoption of an army conscript con-script system and the writing of new security treaties. In a conversation con-versation " with Premier Herrlot and Minister of War Paul-Boncour, Mr. Davis said the United States was unable to commit Itself to the use of force In defense of the Kellogg Kel-logg pact outlawing war, though It accepted the Idea of consultation In case of violation of the pact, M. Herrlot told Mr. Davis that bis proposal for the substitution of professional armies with short-term conscript forces did not apply to the United States and was confined to continental Europe, excluding even England. It was believed In Berlin that this proposal might Induce Germany Ger-many to resume participation In the disarmament conference provided the other powers agree that nil agreements reached shall apply equally to all the signatories, Including In-cluding Germany. On the naval side the French are again . talking , about . a Mediterranean Mediter-ranean Locarno of France. Great Britain and Italy as a prelude to a naval understanding with Italy, which would complete the London treaty and possibly lead to further American, British and Japanese reductions. i "" " I .
