A number Of farmers have asked

them no. From all reports | can get
some tonics are misrcpresentcd to the
farmers, the sellers claiming they will
cure hog cholera and prevent hog
cholera, as well as kill worms and var
ious other things. If man came to
me and told me his sock tonic would
cure cholera that statement would
cure me of him at once. The tonic
may kill worms, etc, but when a man

French Attitude Defined

Paris, April 5.-(By the Associated
Press. l-Thc attitude O fthe French
Government in the present German
crisis is defined and explained in 4
note issued tonight. After rciterat
ing that the government has no hos
tile designs toward Germany, desir-
ing, on the contrary, the resumption
OF normal relations with that coun-
try, and expressing realization of tho
difficult situation of the Berlin GOV
ernmcnt, the note declares that the
German Government has given way
to pressure by the miitarist partv.
mot fearing to infringe the impera.-
tive and most solemn stinnlations nf
the eFrsailles treaty.
The sequence Of facts follows:
Ihe hrst request for permission
Tor the entry Of extra troops into
the Ruhr district was made lust af-
ter the insurgcnt movement bv the
military authorities on March Is. 1t
was renewed from Berlin ON March
II, in the name of the legitimate
government by Won Hanicl, who had
remained in Berlin with the consent
at least implied, Of the insurgcnt gov.
crnmcnt.
All information from the ADjeU
missions, and again the day before
yesterday, from the high commission
ers at CobIenZ, does not cease to show
that German military intervention is
uncalled for by the situation and II
would be attended with the yraycst
dangers t.om the point of view Of
security buth for the population and
the men in the tclo'
The note then points out that if the
German Government had carried out
the disarmament clauses of the treaty
thcre would have been neither the
kapp lnSurrcctiOn nor Red army in
the Ruhr, and remarks that articles
~ and IA are such an INDISPENSABLE
safeguard that article one of the
Franco -Anglo-A American convention de
fines as caSus focdcris those dis
positions insufficient to assure the
protection Of France. 1t concludes:

offensive of the German troops in the
Ruhr obligc the French Government
today to consider military measures

deferred. The sole object of these
measures is to bring Germany to n
