profits and pile up millions at the cost
of the lives of your boys. Your boys
don't have to go. Stand up for your

PRESSURE HAS EFFECT
French Position In Occupying
Ruhr District Is Weakening.
Reply to 9ritatn's Note indicates vii"
Iinoness TO Consult Allies Here
after Before Acting.

Paris.-First indication of French
weakening under pressure Of Allied
portests against her occupation of the
Rhine cities was seen in the text OF
the French reply to Great Britain's
note just made public.
Premier Millerand said the Paris
government in future would not act
without the consent Of its allies In at
tempting to force Germany to live up
to the terms Of the treaty Of Versail'
les.
Attempting to Justify Marshal
Foch's move, Millerand declared it was
impossible for France to accept Cor
many's unguaranteed promise to with
draw the reichswehr from the neutral
zone as soon as the Ruhr revolt wa
crushed.
German Violations Cited.
Events have proved, the premier AZ
sorted, that Germanys promises can
not ba relied. upon. He cited Ger
many's failure to deliver her wal
guilty, her delay in payment Of repara'
tons and delivery Of coal and heI
failure to carry out the terms Of the
treaty regarding naval and land dis
armament.
The British government, he believed
had not measured the full danger Of
these successive and systematic viola
tions," of the Versailles pact.
France realized, he said, and was
forced to cry: We've had enough
A weakening Of the French position
also was seen in Millerand's declara
ton that France lis convinced Of the
necessity for the most intimate con
Germ with England" in the solution o.
''such vast world problems" as Rus
STA, the Balkans, Asia Minor and Tur
key.
