The Matin" outlines in general terms a proposal for the future organisa- tion of the French Army, prepared by the French General Staff for submission to the Government after the general elec- tions. The number of divisions of which the Army is to be is left blank, as it will depend on the attitude of Germany, and the military conventions to be ar- ranged with Great Britian, United States, Belgium, and Poland. Included in the number of division will be a consider- able contingent of Colonial, Moroccan, Black divisions, etc. The framework of the Army will be constituted by 100,000, with 140,00 volunteers or re-enlisted men, while the rest of the Army will be pro- vided by universal conscription, which will not exceed one year in duration. The cadres of the new artoy will be drawn from a single polytechnic train- ing gchool. Other schools will only be us-ed as centres of practice, and for the completion of studies. The reserves will be compelled to submit to periods of training, which will be shorter, more fre- quent and more intensive than before 191L The duties of reserve officers may, it is suggested, be 'made compulsory for certain classes of citizens.

Along the entire route, which extended for some miles, brilliantly coloured decorations were hung from the lioases on either side. The Prince alighted at the City Hall, where, in the fine old Empire Chamber, the Mayor (Mr. Martin) read an address of welcome in the presence of all the local magnates The Prince replied in French.

:CITIZENS' UNION.
CITIZENS' UNION. r Need of Women on Council. At the annual meeting of the Swansea and District Citizens' Lmon, held at the the Central Hall on Monday afternoon, Mr. Joseph Hall presided in consequence of the indisposition of Lady Lyons and the inability of Mi$s Dillwyn Llewelyn to attend. RAISE MORAL LEVEL. The chairman pointed out that the ob- ject of the L'nion wag to raise the moral level of the town, and help its advance- ment. One aspect of the work was the assistance of young girls, as boys were helped by the Red Triangle Club. Mrs. "VVatkin Williams read the third annual report, referring with regret to the absence of Lady .Lyons (president during the whole period) and to her ladyship's almost immediate departure from the district. The meeting had been arranged for that day at her special l'e- quest. OBJECTS OF UNION. The objects of the union were the en- forcement of existing licensing, vigilance., sanitary and related, laws, tne suppression cf drunkenness, im- morality, gambling, and various other vices. other vices. Tlie/ were not successful (Mrs. Williams pointed out) in getting women candidates elected to the Council. Yet there v.as 110 doubt women were needed on the Health, liousing and Education Committer, and if only women electors had voted for women they would have been suc- cessful. It seemed a lot of spade work would have to be done before woman tealised the responsibility of the vote. They hoped that very soon they wouki have a maternity home for unmarried mothers who had made their first mis- take I-atliel- tliztli they should g<» r-o the Workhouse. They would be glad when the. creche, established by Lady Mond and taken over by the Health Commit- t, would be re-opened, because they knew what a boon it was, and how women had, since its closing, nowhere to ulace their child while at work. WOMEN PATROLS. Women patrol wore hampered in their work by the absence of a club;i there was nowhere to invite the girls off the streets. It was absolutely necessary, too, to get a club! for little girls, such as the Red Triangle one for little boys. Housing conditions were such in Swansea that those things were absolutely necessary. Men's organisa- tions were coining into the Union, and they were expecting great things. The Chairman moved, and Itr. J. W. Jonos, seconded, the adoption of the "port. Sister Osborne and Nurse Steele made very strong appeals for the re-opening of the creche and the establishpient of such a maternity home as had been mentioned, aueaking from intimate Knowledge of pre- sent conditions. Nurse Steel pointed out that with these institutions the whole out- look and circumstances of the unmarried mother would be altered for the good. Mr. Sidney Palmer remarked that it seemed they would never get these things altered until they got women on the Coun- cil. Thicks had been long enough left to the men. Miss Kirkman remarked that they could not expect niuch success in representa- tion by women nntil they had sufficient funds to pay the expenses of suitable women, The Chairman remarked that he be- lieved men would respond to an appeal for this object. The reDort, .wasTAdapted-; Miss Kirkman reported a slilull c'. I., balance. Mrs. Gregory read interesring report on the work of < he women patrols, the refusal of the Watch Committee to sanction women police, and cases in which useful helD had been given. Wtih demobilisation so fhr advanced, and the streets better lighted, the need wa, not; 180 urgent, but it still existed, and there was a big need of good mixed clubs. Msr. W. J. Harris argued that there was more TVbrk for women patrols than, ever, and that things were bal-tpeninx in premises in main thoroughfares that would surprise the police. The Watch Committee did not trouble. Mrs. Sidney Palmer was elected presi- dent. Mrs. I). Morgan treasurer. Miss Kirkman and Mr. Marshall joint lion. secretaries. Major John Russell (Cardiff) gave an address.
