Citing In stances of secret military training, hidden war stores and other treaty infractions, tho Intnr-nllled commis sion of control charges that except In a few Instnnces Germany s mili tary nrmament Is ns strong today ns It was In 1022. Tho commission's report, which formed the basis of tho rorent allied not to Germany, domnndlng fulfill ment of the treaty terms, was pub llshed by the foreign office here to day. The commission declares Ger many still falls far short of corn playing with the military provisions of tho Versailles treaty. Nearly an the infractions existing In 1922 still rf-mnnd readjustment, the report said. A stinging resolution, endorsing the Mill railway lines in their pro posed extension from Bend into the Klamath country, and slapping the fare of the Southern Pacific lines, who were offering to build Into their community, was panned by a mass meeting at Mullu Sunday, attended by over 251) people, but more than half of whom did not tako any part In tho vote, realizing ' tho dan geroua consequences that might result from offending a railroad which was definitely offering trans portation assistance. The actual vote was 80 for and 14 aguinst. Ilefore i. vote on tho resolution, which wns a cut and dried expres sion of a group of citizens bitterly opposed to anything the Southern Pacific had to offer. Chairman Harry Wilson of the Farmers' Society of Tule Lake, drove the thinking mem bers of his audience to adopt a neu tral attitude when he said: "That there may be no misunderstanding I want you to know that this reso lution Is antagonistic to the South-I ern Pacific. If you do not want to antagonise it, then don't vote for the resolution as it Is. If you do want to antagonize it then a vote for the resolution will have ,that affect." II. H. Corey of the public service commission of -Oregon', opened the meeting with the advice: "Do not get excited, my advice to you is not to take sides in this matter." Ho waa followed by Dr. F. R. Goddard, mayor of Klamath Falls, also fl. E. Bradbury, and A. M. Thomas, all of whom roasted the S. P. to a turn, emphasizing the point that the road had. years to build Into Malin and bad never made good. Dr. F. M. Trout made the point thnt Malln would rather havo no road than to be on tho end of a lrk water spur. . C. A. Hinshaw, assistant frolght and traffic manager of the South ern Pacific, explained tho cause of the delajr building the Modoc Northern, consenting to speak In place of J. J. Miller, district freight and passenger agent who was call ed by tho charman to explain his road's policies. Commenting on tho mooting. Rob ert K. Slrahorn. president of tho O. C. & K. made tho following statement to The News laBt night: "I have been, led to believe that Malln roally wanted a railroad and t hnve been diligently urgod to hcip secure It, hut several speakers said they objected to tho S. P. because It would only glvo them what would bo a branch line from Klam ath Falls. Of courso the Southorn Pacific has too many Jlaces urging railroad , construction elsewhere, to force cne upon any community not wishing it."
