Von Jlajer, In which tho 1'iemler de
clared tho Franco had taken great care
to Inform and consult with, the Allies
beforo occupying the Ilhino cities. The
text of the note follows:

"On March 23 the French Premier de
clared from the tribune of the Chamber

jiwalting the beginning of the realization

rot delay indefinitely making decision!
Which were Imperative. On March IS Dr.

ij "On April '1 l'remter Mlllerand con
tflrmed to tho German Charge d'Affaires
j.the decision that tho French Govern
"j'nent could not, as far as It was con
cerned, give such authorization unless
French troops Bhould b-' authorized to
occupy simultaneously Frankfort, Darm
stadt. Homburs, Hanau and Dleburg.
' "On April 3 Dr. Goeppert admitted
hat Helchawotor troops, superior to the
effectives fixed by tho decision of
August 0, 1913. had penetrated the
Ituhr, and abked In tho name of the
German Government that tha formal
authorization necessary to that effect
be given to"the German Government
after the act had been accomplished.
' "Tho same day at Berlin Under Sec
retary of State von Huniel Informed
Jen. Barthelemy, who replaced Gen.
Nollet, that tho German Government
had given entire freedom of action to
Commissioner Severing oonrernlng the
Uso of troops concentrated for the pur
poso ot operations in the Huhr Valley
and assumed the responsibility for their
action In the neutral zone.
"Tho French Government Immediately
informed Its allies of this communica
tion, confirmed by its own Information,
calling attention to the fact that the
German Government was violating
Article 44 of tho treaty a violation
constituting a casus belli and express
ing the hope that the Allied Govern
ments would recognize tho .necessity of
Immediate action and would lend as
sistance to France In an effective man
ner for tha execution of military meas
ures which could not be avoided or de
ferred. , "It was not tho first time the French
Government had warned its allies of that
hecc?slty. As early as March '23 tho
French Government brought the propo
sition of occupying Frankfort and other
cities before the council In London,
which expressed the opinion on March
25 that the moment was not timely.
Authorization Asked and Ilcfnnert.
"Tho German Government addressed
itself directly to the French Govern
ment to obtain authorization to send
ttoops to the Ruhr1 Valley. The French
Government had no reason to authorize
such infraction of the treaty, inasmuch
as Its own information concurred with
that of Its allies in deciding that the
military occupation of the Ituhr was
Useless and dangerous.
"Facts demonstrate that the initiative
in that operation must be attributed to
tho German military party. It was
Kapp's Government which took the
initiative. It was the military party,
which, despite the strong objections
brought forward In tie German Govern
ment Itself against Oie projected inter-vi-ntron,
affirmed tho impossibility of
reestablishing order without additional
troops in the Ruhr.
'Trance was thus faced with a measure
which. In the unanimous opinion of the
Allies, could not be executed without
previous authorization, which was not
Justified by tho circumstances and which
the. German Government had taken a
formal engagement toward Franpe never
to attempt without Its authorization. .
"The measure took an especially
serious aspect owing to tho fact that
the Allies had been unable to obtain,
despite their Insistence, execution of tho
clauses of the treaty relative to German
disarmament.
Action In Genurnt Interest.
"The French Government thus acted
In the general interest, as well as In the
interest of France. It was necessary
that it should take, In accordance with
the Treaty of Versailles, a measure In
dispensable to Its own security. Thero

Merlin, April 7. Many rumors are
current in Berlin to the effect that the
United States Is addressing a note to
Franco demanding the withdrawal of the
French forces from Frankfort
It Is considered not unlikely that the
Cabinet Is facing a crisis by reason of
the concerted action of organized labor
and both wings of the Social Democracy.
The ultimatum to the Government, which
Is supposed to have been inspired by
Hcrr Legion, came as a great surprise,
the Majority Socialist leaders In the
Cabinet being wholly uninformed with
regard to It.
Tho action taken at tho present mo
ment contributes to tho gravity of the
situation in which tho coalition finds
Itself as a result of French occupation
of German cities.
A special session of tha National As
sembly will be held Saturday.
The German Charge d'Affalren in
Paris was Instructed to hand tho French
Government a note protesting against
tne trencn occupation or tranniort anil
other territory on the right bank of tho
Rhine. The note, after referring to tho
contents of the French note of April &
notifying Germany that tho occupation
hail been ordered, asserts that tho occu
pation of the towns mentioned in the
French communication occurred beforo
the note was presented to tho German
Goveni.nent.
"We must, in the namo of Justice,
reason and humanity," the German not
continues, "make the sharpest protest
against the action of the French army.
It cannot possibly have been tho Inten
tion of tho Treaty of Versailles to pre
vent Germany from restoring order as
quickly as possible In the port of Its
. !..... 5 . . . 1 .n.Mnlv .11..!.. 1. . I l...
bands of robbers."
Tho note points out that alleged viola
tions of the treaty must, under the terms
of that Instrumcut, be, redressed by all
tho signatories on -the allied side, and
not by it single one. acting Independ
ently. "Tho Idea that the despatch of troops
to the region could in any way Involve
a menace to France Is eo absurd that
It docs not require to be refuted," the
note continues, "and It may therefore
bo maintained with the fullest conviction
on OtrmanJs' port that there Is here no
Intentional violation of the peace treaty
which could make the German Govern
ment responsible In tho meaning of the
peace treaty. Even if such a violation
had been committed, the military act
of violence now committed by the
French Government would not bv justi
fied." Tho rtoto further contends that under
the league of Nations, wlUch is an
Integral part of the peace treaty, the
attempt ought Ilr."t to have been made
to noIvu such a disputo by interallied
arbitration.
A tiroclamatlon addressed by the Ger
man Government to the inhabitants of
the towns occupied by the French says:
"Less than 14,000 troops have btcn
collected In the Ruhr district, or almost
the exact number permitted by tha
agreement with the Entente. France
has regarded it as reconcilable With the
Btate of peace to occupy flourishing Ger
man towns as a reprisal. The world's
neace has never been more monstrously
played with than it has been Just now
by France.
"It ts that hard hearted opponent
which alone Is responsible for making
you tho victim of this Shyjock policy.
The Imperial Government will do every
thing it can to shorten your period
of suffering. It will not let Germany bo
shattered in this cunningly deviled fash-Ion."

Irish police. They state that they are

In this connection Thomas J. Lough

under tho defenco of the realm net.
No definite charge has yet been pre

state that his arrest was effected after
they had learned that ho was a party
to a treaty with the Germans for arms
and ammunition.
With LoughJIn's name the police
linked that of Baron Lewis von Hcrst, a
