FRANCE TELLS
OF Her ACTION
Proclamation Explains Why
Troops Are Sent To Occupy
German Industrial Centers.
SAYS TREATY VIOLATED
Declares German Move Is Result Of
Pressure Brought BY Military
Party-No Hostility BY France
Against Workers.

Washington.-The text of the pro-
clamation issued by General Degoutte
in extending the occupation of the
French army has been received here
from Paris and made public by the
French embassy. 1t follows:
"The German government, yielding
to the pressure of the military party,
has launched hasty Offensive of the
German troops against the working
population of the Ruhr basin In do
ing so it has violated one of the most
Imperative and most solemn stipula-
lions of the Peace treaty.
SIN the conversations which have
been taking place to this day the
French government has made all eff
forts in order to dissuade the German
government from undertaking that
military action, which a little modera-
ton would have made it possible to
avoid.
"The Reichswehr troops have none
the less invaded the Ruhr basin and
the government of the French republic
feels compelled to secure guarantees
in order to bring the Berlin govern
ment over to the respect of its sigma
ture.
Il have thus been instructed to or
der the immediate occupation of the
cities of Frankfort, Homberg, Hanau,
Darmstadt and Diebourg..
While proceeding to that occupa-
ton l wish to assure you that it does
not involve any hostile thought to-
wards the laboring populations of this
region. It's only purpose is to insure
the execution of the treaty.

the troops of the Reichswehr have
