FRANCES NEXT STEP O|V ALLOWING TROOPS
 IN BASIN UVKNOWII
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, April 4.-Nothing has been announced regarding Frances next step with regard to the sending of Ger man troops into the Ruhr coal basin. with the exception of d vague official statement which says that any military measures the French government has under consideration are merely for the purpose of forcing Germany to adhere strictly to the terms of the peace treaty.
 "The military measures under the governments consideration have as their sole object the recall of Germanv to respect for articles 42 and A of the peace treaty, which forbids the pres ence of German troops in the zone 50 kilometers east of the Rhine" the. statement says. They are, therefore. purely restrictive measures"
 The term used in the official state ment is measures of ''aStreinte.'' a legal expression conveying the idea of both penalty and constraint. Such measures are taken by the afternoon newspapers to mean the occupation of Frangfort. Hanau, Homburg and Darmstadt The newspapers express the belief that of ficial announcement of the occupation is only awaiting Premier Millerand,s notification of and consultation with the allies. The note of Dr. Goeppert. head of the German peace commission. with regard to the entry of German troops into the Ruhr district, recalls that the German government had ae- cepted. after hesitation, that such entry should have as a counterpart allied oc- 'cupation of Frankfort, Darmstadt Hanau, Homburg and Dieburg after certain delay, presumably if the troops should not be withdrawn after q fixed time.
 Receipt of the note, which was ad- dressed to the president of the peace conference, was announced by Pre- mier Millerand Saturday. Goeppert of fers the French government that an al lied commission be sent to the Ruhr valley. to verify the presence Of troops as necessary.
 Comment has been aroused here by the fact that the note was addressed to the president of the peace conference and not to the French premier The afternoon papers deduce from this that Germany hopes the allies Judgment of her case will differ from that of France.
 It is understood that Dr. Goeppertl in his note declares the German gov ernment is unable to withstand the ap- peal of the distracted population of thel Ruhr region, who are imploring protoc- tion against brigandage and demand ing the reestablishment of order

COPENHAGEN, April 4-Notwith- standing the removal of political ob stacles and the announcement that the general strike had been called off, it still continues to be effective The employers organizations and the trade unions have not yet reached definite agreement. Both yielded on many points but are faced by serious, per hapS inSurmountable q f c u i c $ through the uncompromising attitude of certain workers outside the trade unions organization.
 These workers include the dock men,
 The general strike called as a pro- test against the resignation of Premier Zahle on March 20, was called off this morning, it was announced following a meeting of the chairmen of eleven political parties in the rigsdag called last night by King Christian. The ses- sion lasted from 9 o'clock NS 5:3O o'clock this morning.
 The announcement stated that all the parties had agreed it would be necessary to hold elections after new electoral law has been passed.
 Premier Liebe declared. upon the kings suggestion. that he desired to retire. The king will now ask former Director of the Ministry of Justice Friis to form a cabinet with the un- derstanding that the rigsdag will re- Sume its sessions as soon as possible and begin negotiation for an electoral bill. All the chairmen promised to CO., operate with a cabinet formed upon that basis. The resignation of the Liebe ministry, after five days tenure of office, means that the socialists will consent to call off the general strike providing the new electoral bill is carried through all the parliament tary stages before dissolution of the rigSdag and the new elections. The striking procession from the town hall to the palace Saturday was followed by thousands bearing red flags who awaited with more or less impatience the result of the visit of the deputation tation imploring the king to dismiss the newly appointed ministry. the monarch replied: T will negotiate on everything when the general strike is called off" A socialist councillor in terjected, Tt is too late, your majesty. And all the social democrats present echoed his words.
 Meantime from outside the palace were heard shouts of "republic-long live social democracy" These cries were redoubled when the deputation reappeared and former Minister Stauning addressed the crowd from the steps of the palace, announcing the result of the conference with the king. The manifestants, however, soon dispersed in orderly fashion.
 The new agreement grants amnesty for all political offenses and concekyz all the electoral reforms demanded by the social democrats. All the party leaders promised to cooperate with the new ministry formed to carry out this program.

DENVER, April 1.-The Denver building trades contractors at a meet ing today, voted unanimously to bring an injunction suit against three build ing trades unions which struck April for increased wages. The contrac- tors allege that the strike is in viola ton of a recent arbitration award.
 An arbitration committee, appointed by the unions and employees to settle demands for increased wages on the part of 14 of the Is unions of the buila- ing trades council reported three weeks ago recommending that the increased wages be deferred until June and that the present wage scale be con- tinued until that time.
 The carpenters, fathers and plaster CTS refused to accept that award and called strike on April l. Today the plumbers served notice on the con- tractors for a demand of increase of $1 aI day effective next Sunday.

 IF EASTER PARADE
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, April 4.-Cold. driz- Zling rain and skies that threatened snow failed today to prevent New York's annual Easter parade in Fifth avenue.
 Gorgeous bonnets and wonderful creations, examples of the French and American modiste's art were seen. bravely defying the onslaughts of the elements. The ranks of the parade were bit thin, but the dauntless ones, in outfits more suited for Palm Beach than Fifth avenue in the early and uncertain days of spring, stepped forth to admire and be admired
 Probably never before has mere man loomed so large as contender for sartoria1 honors. Not only were the young men resplendent, they were "gaudy". According to quotations by New York clothiers, the very latest styles in "business suits come to S1OO while evening clothes cost at least S200. The avenue saw suits of many -colors and cuts. There were fancy topped shoes, too, that would make barber pole jealous. Trousers were tight, baggy and just loose. while the rainbow hued shirts intensified the color scheme.
 The women. for the most part, wore heavy fur neck pieces with thts spring suits and almost all carried gaily colored parasols. Hundreds mo- tored to church instead of risking costly silks and satins in the rain. They presented flash of color amid the downpouc as they hurried from their vehicles to the house of worship.
 Probably the greatest throng in the history of the churches of the city crowded into the edifices for the spe- cial Easter services. St. Patrick's the cathedral of St. John the Divine. and Old Trinity were crowded to capacity.

WASHINGTON. April 4. - Govern ment expenditures have exceeded the revenues from all sources" by more than s20o 900, 900 during the first nine months of this fiscal year, and the re- duction of 06,000,0OO in the floating debt last month is but temporary condition. Representative Mondell. Wyoming, republican leader, declared today in a statement. Economy alone. he said, could avert ''calamitous crisis
 Immediately upon the temporary re- duction' in the floating debt MT. Mon dell. declared the treasury was m the market for further loans and this month must dispose of a further large volume of temporary certificates.
 Government financing by sport term notes, he added, is such as may bring a tremendous increase the very next day, week or month"; after an appar- ent reduction for comparative rer-od. :.
 Citing the two and one-half billion dollar war deficit as mot covered by bonds or provided for by current reve nues," the republican leader said that such sum to be carried by short term notes was "a serious menace at any time," and particularly when the country was trying to recover from the war.
 Situation Grows More Grave
 The increasing gravity of -he diff faculties arising out of this enormous volume of indebtedness that must he renewed from time to time,' said Mir. Mondell, ''is indicated by the fact that while all of these certificates that were offered sold readily in the spring and summer of 1917 bearing in interest rate of three per cent, less than $200.- 900, ,000 of recent treasury offering of certificates at four and one-nalf per cent were sold and the treasury will be in the market in the very near fu ture for loans on short time certificates at four and three quarters, with the probability that the rate will have to be further advanced and may go to six per cent, or twice the interest rate of three years ago"
 Treasury officials, the statement continued, "have handled trying sit uation most admirably" but they "can- not avert disaster until we keep pub lie expenditures within our income. 7" An actual reduction of public debt MT. MonGell added. is necessary, during the fiscal year, beginning July l, ito sus- tain national credit
 Congress, Mir. Aondell predicted. would grant appropriations for the next year of s1,250. 100000 less than es- timated by government departments which asked for approximately S5,000,- 000,00 for all purposes.

 NEW ORLEANS, April 4.-A big fight over suffrage is under way in Louisiana, in view of the possibility that the state legislature may vote next on the question of ratification.
 Orders to help make Louisiana 'the thirty-sixth state" went from suffrage headquarters to leaders working to round up supporters for the amend ment which will be considered by the legislature at it's session beginning May To-
 A peculiar thing, however, has de- veloped in connection with the fight in the announcement that suffragists themselves were divided Miss Kate Gordon and Miss Jean ordon, widely known because of their long fight for suffrage, have conducted campaigns in Louisiana against the federal pro- posal, holding that it violates states rights. It is their contention that each state should decide the issue for itself.
 Leaders in the fight for ratification, however. are highly elated over the fact that Governor elect John M. Par ker, who will take office six days be- fore the legislature convenes, long has championed the suffrage cause.
 Holdover members of the senate and house are reported to be about evenly divided on the ratification question, with 75 new members holding the ball ance of power.

After heavy fighting, the gov ernment troops, which reached here early yesterday, were today conbing the industrial district to south around Wanheim and the woods toward Null helm, where the scattered reds are be- lieved to have fled. How far south and east the troops will go depends on how the reds act.
 It is not intended to proceed To Essen or Dusseldorf unless there are unexpected developments. Military control will be maintained here ontg until the authorities are satisfied oS the stability of civilian admnistra ton.
 One of the most frequent comments regarding the disturbances at Duisburg is the earnest assurance that the fight ing reds were not natives but aliens.
