I PARIS. April 10 The note sent,
yesterday by Premier Millerand to the'
I British government, in reply to ihe
British note with regard to the action,
of France in sending troops into the;
j neutral zone in Germany says:
l "The French government affirms
first of all that no doubt can be felt

I lies, have been constantly informed or

I has always opposed the entry of sup-,

ures could no longer be postponed.
Furthermore, the French government
recalled that the matter- concerned the
violation of one of the most solemn
; clauses of the treaty signed by France,
and that the German government had
formally recognized that formal auth-
'orization, given in advance, was noces-
isary for such a derogation and thnt
Franco had the right to ask for ler-
ritorial guarantees.
! Promise Not Enough.
I "How could the government of
France have been satisfied with the
German promise to withdraw the
troops when order had been restored?
(Neither for reparations nor for the
delivery of the war-guilty, nor for coal,
have the allies received the stipulated
satisfaction.
"The question could be asked when
the British government,- which no
douty has not measured the danger of
these systematic violations, would step
in the path of concessions. France, in
any case, was obliged to say: 'That Is
enough.'
Need for Unity.
"The French government is no less
convinced than the English govern
ment of the essential necessity of the
maintaing unity of the allies for the
application of the treaty with Ger
many. This close concert of Franco
and England appears to France equal
ly Indispensable for the equitable so
lution of the vast problems -which are
presented at this moment in the
world in Russia, the Baltic, Asia Mi
nor and all the Balkans."
The note closes with assurance that
the French government, for the pro-1
motion of these ends declares itself1
entirely disposed, before acting, to be1
assured of the consent of the allies
in all inter-allied questions which the
execution of the treaty raises. 1
