London. April s.-The Keynote OF
all editorials in the London morning
newspapers with regard to the di-
vergence among the allies over the
French move into Germany is ankle
ty, as to the effect Of the situation
upon Anglo-French relations. The
opinions differ, however. in appor-
tioning the blame for the crisis. The
anti-government press bitterly
scored the Lloyd-George government.
Some newspapers are on the fence
and one implies that the French
government Is responsible.
The Times and the Morning Post
are outspoken in attacking the
Lloyd George government. The Post
demands the government to explain
why there has been a rift in the con-
cord Of the relations Of the entente.
Tho Telegraph says the situation
can be solved by the withdrawal of
General Won Waters forces which. 1t
says, would certainly be followed by
withdrawal Of the French forces.

Chicago. April Six men, four of
whom are members Of the Chicago
Board of Trade, hold the corner in
May corn, according to the belief OF
government attorneys, who are con-
Quoting the present federal grand
jury investigation into the illegal
manipulation of this commodity.
A score of men, heads Of various
commission houses dealing in grain.
were visitors yesterday in the office
of District Attorney Clyne. They
were informed Of the governments
intention to take their books before
the grand jury. They were informed
that the seizing Of their records did
not mean the government considered
their firms responsible for the illegal
MANIFESTATION Of the corn market. but
that tdsy. were called for the purpose
of establishing who held the corner
in corn.
When it became known that every
firm on the board would be asked to
submit its books for inspection all
agreed to cooperate with the dis
trict attorney.
District Attorney Clyne early yes
terday received instructions from At
torney General Palmer to prosecute
the interests back of tho corner to the
fullest extent Of the law. It also be-
came known that Attorney General
Palmer had Instructed Oliver Pagin,
indictment expert Of tho government,
to leave Immediately for Chicago to
arsist local attorneys In preparing
the indictments, which it is conf
IDENTIFY believed the grand Jury will
return. .
Mr.. Clyne refused to make any
comment concerning the activities of
his department in the corn luvesti-
cation or give the names OF other
firms which were called in yesterday.
One man. representing one of the
biggest grain firms on the board of
trade. after leaving Mr.. Clyne's Of
fec said:
"The district attorney simply ask
ed me If my firm was willing to as
sist the government IN proving the
Va Iho SOIIltI JudIheL
and showing the interests in control
Of the corn situation.
HE said the government was con-,
vinced that corner existed and that
the investigation would not be
stopped until the punishment of
those responsible for forcing UP the
price was secured" ......
While the rumor around the fed
eral building was to the effect that
six men were responsible for the cor
ner and that two were not board of
trade members, government attor-
neys refused to affirm or deny the
report. 1t is generally conceded,
however. that the federal authorities
believe not more than this number
were in the corner and that it was
engineered by one man.

French view was fully explained to
the British ministers. an authorita-
tive statement was issued TO the ef-
feet that France acted entirely on It's
own Initiative in deciding to occupy
German towns; that Great sritain.

Frances action has caused n delicate

The matter Il under discussion Of

ana the hope is expressed that the
situation may be eased.
Disouss Ways and Means.
The statement recltes various ex-
pedients suggested FOR dealing with
the Ruhr situation, among others the
sending OF allied officers with tho
German troops 10 supervise the Ger
man withdrawal.
Another alternative was that the
decision should be left with the Ger
man government with tho stlpula-
ton that unless tho status quo was
sufficiently restored the allies them
selves would occupy German points
TO enforce their demands. The state
mert proceeds:
The German government appears
10 have acted prccipitately. and
France 10 have responded by adopt-
ing plan which was only intended
as last resort method and even
then to have been the affair OF the
allies and not of any one OF them

Great Britain. Italy. Belgium and
the United States. II Is declared. all
felt that the task OF restoring order
should lie with Germany and ali
were opposed TO their regular forces
being called upon, except as last
resort, to undertake what are yirtu-
ally police duties.
1t is pointed out that France feared
some ulterior motive on the part OF
Germany. and doubtless acted in
good faith; but, adds the statement.
the immediate result Is that the re-
sponslbility for Its action cannot be
shared by the allies as a whole, and
certainly there is no intention on the
part OF the British government to al
low British soldiers to act aa police
between hostile German factions, and
incur all the odium of such a posi-
ton. to say nothing of.its risks"

The statement concludes:
'If and when Frances suspicious

tho peace treaty become accom-
plfshed facts. the allies would doubt
+ less be prepared to act instantly and
vigorously IN concert to vindicate the
position and respect for the proyi-
sions Of the treaty.
But for the time being II may be
taken that no British soldier will
participate in the occupation Of Ger
man cities in the neutral zone"
