PAR- April 5. French troops I
commanded by General de GoutteJ
which arc stationed along the Rhine,
are prepared to enter Gorman terri
tory this morning, according to the
Wiesbaden correspondent of the Matin.
It is reported that the French govern
ment nas ueciued to occupy cities on
the right bank of tho Rhine as a re
prisal for the movement of German
government troops Into the neutral
zone fixed by the Versailles trealy.No
official announcement has been made
of such an order, however. .
I Newspapers continue to discuss the
(situation resulting Crohi the entry of
Clares the indications given by the
German note concerning those forces
do not correspond with the information
-received by Marshal Foch. Demand ls
made by the Journal that the expenses
of the occupation be borne by the Ger
mans, and it is suggested that cities
occupied bo taxed to make up this
amount.
British Not Co-operating.
The British government will decline
lo co-operate in the occupation of
Frankfort, Darmstadt .and other Ger
man cities, according to the London
correspondent of the Petit Parisieu.
but will, he says, favorably follow the
action of France, "realizing the im
portance of the situation."
In the southern part of the Ruhr dis
trict, says the a-iCho de Paris, the Ger
man government troops have ad
vanced without resistance, but have
encountered serious opposition in the
central portion of the Ruhr basin. Two
hundred persons ave been killed in a
fight near Duisburg, according to in
formation reaching this city.
French military measures destined
to force the German government to
withdraw its troops from the Ruhr
basin are now entirely In the hands of
Marshal Foch. it was said at the for
eign office today.
Tribute on Cities.
It is advanced in some well informed
quarters that occupation of Frankfort,
Darmstadt, Homburg and Hanau is
unlikely to exercise sufficient pressure
upon the Germans, since they well
argue that this occupation is distaste
ful to the French as well as to them-j
selves, but cannot continue indefinite
ly. On the other hand, the expense of
the operation comes up ns a vital Ques-i
tion in the present state of French
finances. The newspapers recall war
tributes imposed by German troops on
French and -.igian cities and suggest
similar measures beins applied to Gei-
jnan cities occupied by irench troops.
Dispatches from leabaden, saying
General de Goutle's forces are under
"alert" orders, aro explained as not
necessarllv meaning an Immediate ad
vance, buwcomplete readiness to move
forward unless Berlin promptly recalls
the troops which have entered the
Ruhr district against protests from
France. s
No censorshop his been established
on news of the intended operation, but
since the mattor now is entirely in the
hands of Marshal Foch. communica
tions from the army probably will bo
surrounded with the usual precautions,
although tho operation is not consid
ered on a basis of war.
. U. S. Not Informed.
WASHINGTON, April 5 State de
partment officials said today they had
received no notice from Franco of Itii
intention to havo tho French troops
occupy cities on the oast bank as a
reprisal for the advanco of German
forces into the Ruhr valley neutral
zone.
The last official word regarding
troop movements in this territory was
received last Thursday, officials said,
with the arrival of the German note
informing the American government
that it was sending soldiers into the
district to re-establish order.
Tho United States notified the allies
more than a week ago it would offer
no objection to the movement of Ger
man troops into the valley if they
were withdrawn as soon as conditions
aro normal. j

ment Points Out
NEW YORK, April 5. Foreign war
widows, pensioners of their govern
ments, and other industrial non-producers,
mostly women, constitute the
larger part of the immigrants now
coming to this country, according to
a statement issued by the Inter-racial
Council.
Immigration officials of this port
state that women and girls have in the
last few wepks outnumbered the men
two, and some times, three to one.
Tho fact appears to be well establish
ed, the council declares, that somo of;
the foreign governments are enforcing
a policy which encourages the emigra
tion of women, but places obstacles in
the way of able-bodied male workers.
Meanwhile, emigration from Amer
ica is made up almost entirely of meif
who have given up employment in fac
tories, mills and mines to return lo
their home land, taking with them sav
ings estimated conservatively at $2000 1
for each emigrant. Since tho signing
of the armistice, 275,000 emigrants
have left the country and authorities
believe that approximately 1,125,00'J
more will leave when present port
regulations and conditions permit. To
consider the problem the natioiu-.l
council on emigration will be held in
New York next Wednesday attended
by representatives of Industry, agri
culture, finance and labor groups. Thej
chief purpose is to determine upon aj
i policy ol selective immigration that
.will best serve the interests of ' tho
country and to recommend the adop-i
tion of such a policy by congress. I

men are affiliated and, the Qwitch- 'H

a declaration that there would "be no

"Sixty per cent of the switch en--gines
in Chicago are out of service,"

"These demands are being handled
