Rhenish Separatist Fiasco
Seen Through German Eyes

I.ondan. Aug f2-The German
rresS has been printing a good dea]
about the "Rhenish Republic" which
was recently established at Wiesbaden
and seems by now to have quietly dis
appeared. 1t Is of some interest to
follow the German version Of events
First came a deputation, headed by
DR.. f'rohherger, the editor of the Kol-
nische Volkszeitung, and with DR.
Dorten as one of its members. which
approached the French commandant
General Mangin. Frohberger said
that it would be possible to form a
Rhenish state. but the peace terms
could not remain as they were.
These terms. moreover, were un-
favorable to France. for the French
had grea, interest in a secure Rhen-
sh frontier, and security could not be
adequately guaranteed by the armies
OF occupation.
Even IL peace and order were main
tanned during the fifteen years OF al
Lied occupation. it remained to be
seen what would happen when the
fifteen years were over.
This interview was followed by an
agitation in the Clerical press The
Contemporary Echo, an organ OF the
Center party. appearing at Aschen,
published an article forecasting the
successful formation of a Rhenish
republic, and adding that the
Rhineland claims important feserva-
tons in its own favor, so that its
economic future may be assured"
The Volksfreund. Center party or
gan. discussed the advantages OF
separation. especially in view OF pre-
ferential treatment by the allies and
abused "Slav Berlin" the Berlin
whip" and the stupid Borussians.'
An article encouraging the separatist
movement by insinuation also APP
peared in Frohberger's paper. the
kilrische. FVolkszeitung, which was
also a Clerical organ.
MANY German Warnings.
Meanwhile warnings were uttered
in all the leading papers OF Germany,
and the national assembly denounced
the separatist movement.
The Rhinelanders took the matter
into their own hands, and on the
morning of the birth of the so-called
republic a general strike was pro-
claimed in Mainz and Wiesbaden by
way of protest. The French authori-
ties interviewed.

attacked by an angry mob and kicked
and beaten until the French authors
ties interviewed. Just in time to save
their lives A few hours afterward a
general strike was proclaimed at Lud-
wigshafen.
Dorten soon found 1t unsafe to re-
main in Wiesbaden and escaped to the
small town to Biebrich.
The French then took action. The
Teachers union, OF Mainz. had figured
prominently In the general strike.
Forty schoolmasters were selected by
the French authorities and expelled
from occupied territory. while black
troops were brought up to cope with
any extension Of the strike.
Nevertheless DR.. Dorten's govern
ment" has been unable to exercise any
authority. The German press regards
the separatist movement as ended.
Moreover, the British and American
authorities have forbidden any agita-
ton that will tend to favor sepa-
ratism. and now recognize only the
present German government At the
same time a warrant haE been issued
by the authorities alta Berlin for the
arrest of Dorten.

In that way. But the refusal OF ad-
