FRENCH WAVER
ON OCCUPATION
OF FRUHRCITIES
Attitude Of England Causes
Millerand to Weaken in
His Stand.
REPLY SENT TO NOTE
Premier Cannot Accept Un-
* guaranteed Promises
OfCermans.
REPLY SENT To- NOTE

Paris, April 10. - First indica-
tions of France weakening under
pressure of allied protests against
her occupation of the Rhine cities
was seen in the text Of the French
reply to Great Britain's note made
public today.
Premier Millerand said the Paris
government in future would not act
without the consent Of its allies in
attempting to force Germany to live
up to the terms Of the treaty of
Versailles.
Attempting to Justify Marshal
Foch's move. Millerand declared
that IL was impossible for France
to accept Germany's unguaranteed
promise to withdraw Reichswehr
from the neutral zone as soon as
the Ruhr revolt was crushed.
Broken Promises Cited.
Events have proved. the premier
asserted, that Germany's promises
cannot be relied upon. He cited
Germany's failure to deliver her
war guilty, her delay in payment
of reparations and delivery of coal
and her failure to carry out the
terms of the treaty regarding naval
and land disarmament. -
A weakening of the French posi-
ton also was seen in Millerand's
deelarationt that FRANCE .'is con-
'vinced of the necessity FOR the most
intimate concert" with England in
the solution of such vast world
problems" as Russia, the Balkans,
Asia Minor and Turkey.
Germany. heartened by the Brit
ish stand against French occupation,
was beginning to assume a defiant
attitude. DR.. wilhelm Won Mayer,
the German charge d'affaires here,
announced that he had received a
note from his government indicat-
ing fresh aggressions.
Denies Troop Movement.
The note. delivered to the French
foreign office. declared that I'VE
have an unconfirmed report tha,
French troops are marching toward
Aschaffenburg twenty-five miles
southeast of Frankfort on the
Rhine). If this is true we cannot
assume responsibility in event there
are collisions with German troops
The French foreign Office denied
the troop movement, declaring the
report probably originated from OBJ
servations of patrol movements out
of Dieburg.
No Note From U. 8.
French leaders still hoped that
the United States would not join
with Great Britain and Italy in con-
demning occupation of the Rhine
cities.
The foreign Office said no note
had been received from Washington
disapproving the occupation OF
Frankfort. An exchange of views
however, the foreign Office admitted
had showed that the United States
held to its belief that German SOL
diers should have been allowed to
restore order in the Ruhr without
retaIiatory measures by the allies
America, officials said. believed
France must have had serious rea-
sons for ordering the occupation
and asked for a further explanation
OF these reasons.

CBy Herald Leased wire,

New York, April 1o.-Mrs. Sarah
Heck, rs years old. of Brooklyn,
died this morning of the rare dis
ease known as botulism. and her
husband. Frank Heck. is in a crit
ical condition. The disease was first
recognized in New York City last

bers of a Bronx family died after
eating ripe olives. In the Heck case

caused by eating canned spinach.

Senators Plan to Revamp
Daniels System Of Appor-
tioning Of Responsibility.
TO CONSULT OFFICERS
Naval Operations Chief May
Be Made Supreme OFF,
Ger of Service.

The Senate Naval Affairs Sub
committee yesterday voted to pre-
pare recommendations looking to-
ward reorganization of the navy.
The plan is to take more testi-
mony upon which these recommen-
dations will be based. thus broad
ening the scope of the inquiry.
Changes. which are under consid-
Grafton. would include alterations
in the Navy Departments system
OF apportioning responsibility with
the idea of eliminating red tape"
The action was taken by a strict
party vote of the Hale subcomfnit-
tee which is investigating the Dan
iels-Sims controversy.
To Apply warLessons.
The committee hopes by this
course to apply directly the les
sons of the war in the interests of
efficiency and greater preparedness
for future dificuIties.
Chairman Hale said yesterday
that as part of the recommenda-
tions, the committee would prob
ably ask Congress to appoint a
technical commission of naval Of
ficers to cooperate with House and
Senate committees in event the
committees recommendations are
taken up for consideration.
This will give the commit
tee a chance to do something
constructive" Hale said, ex-
planning his purpose. 'It is the
only way 1 see of utilizing the
lessons of the war. We ought to
have testimony from all sides. in
cluding the Secretary of the Navy,
naval officers and Industrial leaders.
so that the principles Of sound ad-
ministrative efficiency can be COM
bined with the special needs of the
navy.
Can't Predict Changes.
what changes We would recon-
mend I cannot say now-that would
depend on the testimony. think
a naval commission should be ap-
pointed after we have completed
our investigation which could out
line a detailed course of legislation
for u.s."
Division of responsibility in the
department organization has been
cited by a number of witnesses who
alleged that the chief of naval op-
erations is now dependent on such
cooperation from other bureaus as
he can get to carry out policies.
Admiral Sims and other witnesses
urged that this be changed SO that
the chief of naval operations would
become the chief technical officer
of the navy, subordinate only to
the civilian secretary. and in COM
plete authority over the remainder
of the navy in all policies and
their execution. He would be re-
movable by the Secretary at any
time.
Democrats Deny Authority.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee in protesting Siinst the
recommendation, said they did not
oppose plans for reorganization be-
ing made but objected that Sena-
tor Hale's committee had no au-
thority to do this.
II the subcommittee is sustained
by the full committee, a sweeping
program for enlarging the navy
and reorganizing the bureaus and
Offices of the department may be
laid before Congress.
Republican members of the sub
committee have tried to show, in
the present investigation, that the
service lacked proper battle cruis-
ers, sufficient numbers of destroy
ers, scout craft and submarines.
