Premier Millerand Tells German
Charge d'Affaires Not to Oc-
cupy Ruhr District.
FOCH is READY TO ACT
German Moderate Labor News
paper Says Compromise
Reached i'm Strike.

Paris, April Premier Millerand
today received DR.. Won Mayer, the
German charge d'affsirs, and went
over the situation in the Ruhr district.
The premier improved the occasion to
reiterate the terms of his letter of yes
terday dealing with the question of
permission for German troops to en-
ter the Ruhr region in which he ex-
pressed the view that military inter
vention in that region at present will
be useless as well as dangerous. He
added that the French government
was taking steps to confirm the infor-
nation upon which its decision was
based.
After the departure of the charge,
the premier conferred with Marshal
Foch respecting eventual measures to
be taken in case the Germans disre-
garded the decision against the send
ing of more of their troops into the
Ruhr district. No apprehension is ex-
pressed however, that anything further
would result than a demonstration
such as an advance of the French
troops a dozen miles so in such
contingency. This advance would
mean the occupation of Frankfort and
Darmstad. 1t is not expected however
manifestation on the part of the Ger
mans since DR.. Won Mayer in his first
interview with NJ Millerand on the
subject is declared to have intimated
that his government might consent to
such an advance as a guarantee of the
fexacuation of the Esuhr district by the
additional German troops If they are
allowed to enter the region.
Dusseldorf, April An agreement
was reached at Muenster last night
upon a compromise arrangement for
settling the troubles in the Ruhr dis
trict, according to the editor of the
Moderate Labor newspaper in this city.
The reported compromise extends
the time for acceptance of the Biele-
field agreement with an added clause
providing for amnesty for those con-
cerned in the Ruhr uprising, until noon
tomorrow. The executive committee
of the working men here had not been
informed this forenoon of the action
said to have been taken at Muenster,
however, and its meeting to discuss the
expected terms of the agreement was
postponed until this evening. Accord
ing to this Muenster report the Biele
field agreement is to be carried out in
its entirety with tie change regarding
amnesty provided the required action
is taken by the workingmen by noon
on Friday.
