Leonora was pretty. She was the

May Day in Ruhr Valley Quieter
Than Ordinary Sunday Mastering Out
Of Erhard Army Not Taking Place

service-speeial Gable DispatchJ
By HERBERT BAILEY.

Dusseldorf. May 3.-Any member
Of the German government which
has been so Violently advocating an
advance of the Reichswehr south of
the Ruhr River to suppress sup
posed disorder in Barmen, Elberfeld
and Dusseldorf would certainly have
been, amused to pass through those
towns on May Day.
1t was emphatically a complete
holiday here. The shops were
closed, factories were not working
and the street cars were not run
ming, though the railroads func-
toned as usual. Except for the red
rosettes worn by many younger
workmen and the red flags adorning
Moltke's statute, one would have
thought IL an ordinary Sunday. Even
the police, both the local force and
the armed workers force appeared
to have left their posts at midday.
Dusseldorf was as peaceful as any
city could be. Certainly IL Lenins
expected any May Day demonstra-
when 100000 marched the streets
to proclaim his coming victory, he
was sadly disappointed. While one
young workman wearing a rosette
shook his fist at me as I passed in
a cab, his accompanying smile re-
moved all sense of hostility.
A British officer here tells me that
two of his fellow officers attached
to the allied disarmament commits
sion were recently sent to Erhardt's
camp at MunsterIager to inspect
the disbanding Of the marine brig
ade and the Baltic troops. In spite
of German government passes ano
the German liasion officer. who ac-
companied them. they were refused
admission and were told such
passes did not apply to Erhardt's
camp. They then discovered they
were speaking to Erhardt himself.
You are disbanding your men?'
they asked.
Yes" he replied.
Have you any papers to prove
Ihat?'
None at all. We don't keep
papers" said Erhardt. The two Of
hcers came away from Munster
lager convinced that no mastering
out was taking place.
