The girls curiosity Is reused by the
sudden appearance of strangers from

BY FRANK MASON.

BERLIN. April THE French are
taking wartime precautions in the
German territory occupied by them.
The French commander forbids the
use of telephone and telegraph lines,
and the postal service has been sup
pressed. No newspaper may be
printed. The security police. have
been disarmed and military super
vision has been established over all
civilian officials and public Offices.
The Communist organ Freiheit,
which has been accused OF urging the
French to occupy Frankfort, attacked
the government today, declaring that
folly and irresponsibility led the
French to extend their occupation of
German soil"
This is generally regarded as the
opening gun In a new campaign to
force tho Mueller ministry out OF Of.
fee to be succeeded by working
mems government elected by the
soviet system.
General Dcgoutte, commander of
the French. issued two 'proclamations
at Frankfort. In his first he eX-
planned the reason for the French
advance and asked the people to be
calm. In his second he declared that
'the French do not come as victors

portion OF the Russian army" accord
ing TO an official dispatch from the
Japanese war department received to-
day by Major Gen. Kazutsugu Inouye,
the Japanese military attache here.
General Inouye summarized the dis
patch from Tokyo in the following
statement:
According to a proclamation by
the japanese government under date
OF March 81 negotiations between the
japanese army and the Russian au-
thorities at Yladivostok were pro-
crossing very favorably with a view
10 agreeing upon a program OF co.
whereupon, on April 4. the
sudden aggressive action of the Rus
sian army forced a battle with the
Japanese troops at vladiyostok, Nj
kolsk and Khabsrovsk. 49, ''
AT Vladiyostok the Japanese sue
ceeded in disarming both the Russian
army and navy on the morning OF
April 5. but at Nikolsk and Khaba-
rovsk the fighting IL still in progress
that the disturbance was provoked
by the threatened and aggressive acts
of Q portion of the Russian army, and
that his disarming the Russians had
no motive other, than to maintain
order and peace. The Russian aus
thdrities are now being negotiated
with in an .endeavor to arrive
at harmonious future policy"
