FRENCH OCCUPY
GERMAN Cities
ADVANCE INTO RHINE AREA IN
ANSWER TO DEFIANCE IN
RUHR AFFAIR.

Berlin. - French troops have occu.
pied the cities OF frankfort and Darn
stadt, in the neutral zCne on the east
bank of the Rhine, and a cons derdble
area of the country beyond.
The advance met with no opposi-
ton, although planned and carried cut
with due precaution against attack.
Cavalry troops led in the advance, iol-
lowed by the infantry and field aTtii-
lery. AT Frankfort the French march
ed through the city and occupied Eek
enheim, three miles north. At Da M
stadt the French advance was proceed
ed by withdrawal of German Off
Gals, who left at midnight for the
East.
&The occupying forces numbers from
$4,000 10 $4,000 men.
A few German guards were seized
and disarmed, and proclamauOls
were issued saying that the ocCupa-
tion was undertaken to insure that
Germany will observe the treaty OF
Versailles. The occupation takes the
form of an extension Of the French
lines around the bridgehead of May
ence. The limits OF the advance form
a semicircle similar 10 but not larger
than the original zone of occupation.
The French action came as a sur
prise, according to German official
circles, as it had been hoped that the
manner in which the government
troops were executing police duties in
the Ruhr region would convince the
entente that the government was not
contemplating violation of the peace
treaty.
An official communication says the
attitude of the other allied govern
ments toward French occupation is
not known, as only Germany received
a note from France on the matter.
