ARTICLE 5.
All measures of mobilization, or appertaining to mobilisation, are
forbidden.
In no case must formations, administrative services or staffs include
supplementary cadres.
It is forbidden to carry out any preparatory measures, with a view
to requisitioning animals or other means of military transport.
ARTICIE 6.
The number of gendarmes, customs officials, foresters, constables
of local or municipal polide, etc., may not exceed the number of men
employed in a similiar capacity in 1913, and existing within the
boundaries of the new state of Hungary.
The number of these officials shall not be increased in the future
except in such numbers as may be necessary to maintain the same
proportion between the number of officials and the total of the popu-
lation in the localities or municipalities which employ them.
These officials, as well as officials employed in the railway service,
must never be assembled for the purpose of taking part in any
military exercises.

CHAPTE III. Recruiting and Military Training
ARTICLE 8.
All officers must be regular (oSciers de carrire). The officers now
serving, who are retained in the army, must undertake the obligation
to serve in it up to the age of 40 years at least. Officers now serving,
who do not join the new army, will be released from all military
obligations; they must not take part in any military exercise, whether
theoretical or practical.
Officers newly appointed must undertake to serve on the active list
for 20 consecutive years at least.
The number of officers discharged for any reason before the expira-
tion of their term of service must not exceed in any year 5 per cent of
the total effectives of officers provided for in the 3rd paragraph of
Article 3. If this percentage is unavoidably exceeded, the resulting
shortage must not be made good by fresh appointments.
