prices ana the cost OF living. But
since responsible unionism has been
under direct attack and public senti
ment has been aroused, the two forces
see clearing of the atmosphere and
ultimate good as a result of the fray
Germany seems surprised and en-
deavOrs to muster a show of indigna-
tion that the French should have
taken seriously the terms of the peace
treaty. With the movement of the
German reichswehr in unauthorized
force into the Ruhr basin (part of the
neutral zone of 80 kilometers on the
right bank of the Rhine) the French
promptly occupied the German cities
of Frankfort, Darmstadt, Homburg,
Hanau and Dieburg and surrounding
territory. French officialdom points
out that Germany had already slipped
out of ten compliances with the
treaty, the most important being fail
ure to disarm, nOnpayment Of indem-
mites, no prosecution Of her war GRIM
inals and failure to deliver coal to
France; also that if permitted to get
away with such a vital violation as
invasion Of the neutral zone, she would
soon discard all pretenses Of living up
to the pact. 1t is further pointed out
that Noske far from reducing Ger
many's army to the point demanded
in the treaty, had really been building
up a great and potent military force
from the remnants of the old army.
The French, and they are not alone in
the assertion, claim that Germany
still has 12500 cannon, and could now
mobilize more than 100000 trained
men armed with rifles, machine guns
and minenwerfer. The assertions are
a tribute to German organizing eff
cheney and charge that camouflaged as
auxiliary troops, safety guards, police
men, civic guards, regulars, volunteers,
home guards, ETC., the country really
has no less than 100000 men who
can be called upon and 100000 who
could be rendered Immediately effec-
tive. Every man in the country was
recently a soldier and now each one
under Noske's genius, has become a
policeman or something similar, be-
longing to military organization and
with a complete military equipment in
his home. The French occupation has
been criticized as lacking allied sup
port, but the allies were drifting apart
on important matters before that. At
any rate, the occupation appears to
be complete so far as 1t has gone and
promises to end with compromise
with allied supervision Of German op-
eratiOns in the Ruhr districts or full
German compliance with French
terms.
