GERMANY SILENT REGARDING
PLANS TOWARDS GERMANY

Paris. April 4.-NOthlnE has been an
nounced regarding Frances next step
regarding the sending Of German troops
into the Ruhr coal basin, with the e1cep-
tion Of a vague official statement which
says that any military measures the
French government has under consider
alton are merely for the purpose of
forcing Germany to adhere strictly to
the terms Of the peace treaty.
The military measures under the gov
ernment's consideration have as their
sole object the recall of Germany's at
tention to its pledge to respect articles
AZ and A of the peace treaty, which
foIbids the presence of German troops
in the zone fifty kilometers east of the
Rhine" the statement says. They are,
therefore, purely restrictive meas
ures.''
Occupation Is Predicted.
The term used in the official state
ment is measures of ''astreinte," a legal
expression conveying the idea Of both
penalty and constraint. Such meas
papers to mean the occupation Of
Fraufort. Hanau, Homburg and Darn
stadt The newspapers express the be-
lief that official announcement OF the
occupation is only awaiting Premier Mil
lerand's notification u and consulta-
ton with the allies.
The premier conferred with President
Deschanel Sunday morning with regard
to the situation.
The note Of DR.. Goeppert, head Of the
German peace commission, with regard
to the entry of German troops into the
Ruhr district recalls that the German
government had accepted, after hesita-
ton. that such entry should have as a
counterpart allied occupation Of Frank
fort. Darmstadt. Hanau, Homburg, and
Dieburg after a certain delay, presum-
ably if the troops should not be with
drawn after fixed time.
Asks Allied Commission.
Receipt Of the note, which was ad
dressed to the president of the peace
Millerand on Saturday. DIR. Goeppert.
offers the fresh guarantee that an allied
commission be sent to the Ruhr valley to
verify that the presence of troops is
necessary.
Comment has been aroused here by
the fact that the note was addressed to
the president OF the peace conference
and not to the French premier. The
afternoon newspapers deduce from this
that Germany hopes the allies judg-
ment Of her case will differ from that Of
France.
1t is understood that Or. Goeppert. in
his note, declares the German govern
ment is unable to withstand the appeal
of the distracted population of the Ruhr
region who are impIoring protection
against brigandagc and demanding the
re establishment Of order.
To Insure Peace.
He argued that the treaty established
the neutral zone in the Rhineland to in
sure the peace of the world and that
the German troops were sent for the
purpose Of establishing order. Hence
DR.. Goeppert asserts that the spirit OF
the treaty has been respected even i'll
the letter of it.
