F-POINT ARMAMENT
PLAN OF FRANCE
15 DISCLOSED
PARlS—(#)—The high statesmen
of France completed the final de
tails of a three-point armament
plan Monday and one of them
pronounced the suggestion a great
hope for the world disarmament
conference, whose failure would
ultimately mean “a race toward
war.”
The detailed document entitled
“a plan for organization es peace”
was ready to send to Geneva for
lofficial presentation to the dis
!armament conference. .
It represents the French idea of
the problem and provides = for
treaties of consultation, security
and arms equality, ;
“This plan indicates for the first
‘time, clearly and loyally before
the world, what we are ready to
do,” said Josepn YPaul-Boncour,
minister of war and French dele
gate to the disarmament confer-,
ence. ‘
Advance notice of the plan
through disclosures to the radical
socialist party congress, to the
G e n e v a conference committee,
and to the press, seemed to pre.
sent the idea like this:
o feE A general consultative pact
in which the nationg of the world
[would renounce the right of neu
trality in the event of war. This
wlould involve the United States
as far as she has previously com
'mitted herself.
| 2. A general convention for the
Irgduction of armaments. This
probably would stress defensive
’armaments as opposed to powerful
‘attack weapons. Here, too, might
be a new definition of an aggres
’sor nation from the French view
point.
3. A regional European pact pro
viding for a general staff of
Burope and armies to be placed at
the disposal of a nation made’the
victom of aggression. This would
envidige a conscript sydtem for
European armies abolishing pro
fessional armies, such as the Ger
man Reichswehr, This mght also
give Germany a basis for her
claim to equality in armaments.

Paraguayan Troeps
Ia Final Drive in
Chaco War District
ASUNCION, Paraguay-—#)—The
Paraguayan army was in the
midst of its long heralded final
drive in the Chace »Monday, after
fighting two battles near strate
gie Fort Munioz in which 500 to
800 were reported slain.
The Paraguayans claimed two
victories after the fighting over
the week-end. They-: said both
battles were fought in the vicinity
of the Bolivian staff headquarters
at Fort Munoz, and the 500 were
slain near Fort Saavedra.
It was claimed unofficially that
the Paraguayan ‘“macheteers of
death” had annihilated a detach
ment of 300 Bolivian troops and
captured many others near Cuat
rovientos.
These new movements toward
Munoz follow the capture of Fort
Boqueron in the ecenter of the
Chaco recently. Boqueron and
rearby forts are known as the
northern sector, and Munoz and
nearby defensive works, the
‘ southern sector.
The southern sector lies along
the Pilcomayo river that separates
the Chaco from Argentina. The
northern is midway between' the
Pilcomayo and the Paraguay river
separating the Chace from DPara
guay. ,
The Paraguayan army feels that
if the Munoz area is capturced the
Bolivians would be expelled from
territory tributary to central Par
aguay.

BACHELOR, 76, IS “FATHER” OF 47
By NEA Service.
CINCINNATI, Ohio.~Kindness
is the best yard-stick for raising
children, in the opinion of Everett
Reese, 76-year-old bachelor who
in 25 years has raised 47 chil
dren. f
He points to his own success as
proof of the kindness theory. Al
most all of the boys and girls
who have “graduated” from his
home have had a measure of suc
cess in life. ¢
Reese lives near the village od
Shandon on a farm. When his
parents were alive they started
caring for homeless waifs.
“After my sister, Alice, and I
were left alone on the farm | kept
on bringing children here,’ Reese
said. “Whenever 1 fell in love
lwnh a homeless child I brought
him to the farm, and if he liked
lit there, he stayed. They usually
'stayed. Sometimes I took a ‘bad’
!boy against the advice of every
' one who knew him. But I gener
ally got along with such children,
and some of them iturned out to
‘' be fine boys.”
' Reese rocruits his. children frons,
homes, juvenile courts and institu
‘tions for incorrigibles. Once thet
boy enters the Reese household |
he is given a pig or a calf to care
for. The child gets the proceeds
when the animal is sold. Some
Dboys help Reese on his dairy and
butter route. They rarely disabuse
his trust,

theory that both might have been

the possibility that the boy may
