The real leaders of Sim Fein do
not countenance unbridled violence,

j. s. CALM IN NEW
GERMAN CRISIS
Washington Officials Refuse to
Become Excited-FeeI Little
Needed to Calm Teutons.

Should Germany require another
as the result Of her refusal to sign
the protocol providing for the en-
forcement of the terms of the treaty
OF Versailles, tho United States will
not need to send additional troops to
Europe. it is understood here.
Tho French army would form the
backbone Of the land movement, aided
by some 10000 American troops, now
concentrated around the Cohlenz Sec
tor on the Rhine; similar number of
Belgian troops and a slightly larger
proportion Of British troops based on
Cologne.
The main sea effort would be un>
dertaken by the British, ACCORDING
to expert opinion. and these military
and naval measures. backed up by
severe economic pressure. would very
quickly reduce Germany to terms.
Ofncials Not Excited.
Officials here refuse to become ex-
cited over the new war scare. Secrs-
tary Lansing ignored the question en-
tirely at his conference today nor
were any statements Forthcoming
from either the War or Navy Depart.
ments. Wnen ne last mentioned the
subject the Secretary of State de-
clared the United States peace delega-
ton would return from Paris on
schedule.
The Invasion" of Germany as indi-
Gated in Paris and London dispatches
would scarcely amount to an invasion
in the strict sense of the word. 1t
would mean, literallq, an extended
zone of occupation, a movement cut
from the Rhine bridgeheads to take
in much important centers as Essen.
A renewal of war against Germay
is not regarded as a serious probab bill
ity for the simple reason that Ger
many is not considered in a position
to retailiate in force.
Little Equipment Left.
She has no navy, few guns, little
or no ammunition and no raw mate
rails to speak Of to manufacture these
things. Her air service had it's back
broken by the terms of the armistice
and. at the beginning of what will
be for her a hard winter, she is lack
ing in foodstuffs generally.

These Riddles Even Need Food.
On third street southeast four lit

where Christmas won't come up to
