Paris, March 28. -Three.. thousand five hundred three-inch field guns have been found by the Inter -Allied Commission in the vicinity of Berlin alone, and altogether 12,000 of these guns hats thus' far beets discoveregl throughout Germany, as well as six thousand airplanes intact. According to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles the German army should now have only - 204 three-ineh guns and no airplaii0 whatsoever. These discoveries and other infor- mation in possession of the French authoritice have caused considerable skeptidem here as to the reason given for the reqaest of the Berlin Govern- ment that it be permitted to send troops into the neutral and occupied zones. • Thus far, it was stated by a high official here yesterday, no evidence bad been obtained by the Commission Of any destruction of material by the Germane. Lists haVe been furnished, it was said, but it has been impossible to verify 'them up to this time, Prey mier Millerand declared yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies. In addition to her failure to take any steps to reduce the German armed force to 200,000 men, although the time limit expires in 13 days, as. pointed out by M. Millerand, Germany has done little or nothing, the French declare, toward the execution of about 36 clauses of the treaty on which the limit has already expired. Tho only provision, so far as France is concerned, that has been duly exe- cuted is that providing for the dee livery of seeds for the spring planting in the devastated regions. It is ad- hoWever, that something has been clone regarding some of the gen- eral provisions, such as reduction of the military schools. Restitution of factory equipment and other things taken from North-. ern France has been in progress since the armistice, but it is far from being completed; An inventory of the aeronautic ma- terial has been in progress, but no mathiftes have been delivered, and the emission of 100,000,000,000 francs in bonds, the proceeds of which are to be supplied to ;reparations, has not yet been regulated. The delivery of submarines has only been partly executed, while 'no- thing ha's been done regarding the delivery of arms and munitions or demobilization of the naval forces. The point on which the French'. are •declared to be most sensitive at this time is the non-delivery of Coal as provided in the Peace .Treaty. The treaty fixed the maximum at 20,000,- 000 tons a year, but the Reparations Commission fixed the annual amount at 10,400,000 tons, 'on a basis of Ger- many's production in the month of December: Deliveries, however, fell from 300,000 to 150,000 tons monthly. This is held to be good proof that it is Germany's intention to evade sale, stated -that another sale would her obligations, as her ability to de- liver 860,000 tons a month was de- termined by th a Reparations Commis- sion.
