Is Made CIeur
Wallace Instructed Con-.
sent to Use of German
Troops Is No Precedent
From Th, Tribmne's Washington Bureau

From Tbs Tribmne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 27.- The
American position on the question of
more German troops being employed in
the Ruhr district was communicated
to-day TO Ambassador Wallace at Paris
BY the State Department. Secretary of
State Colby explained that while this
government had informed Ambassador
Wallace early this week. that no objec-
tion would be raised to use of German
forces to quel! the outbreak in the Ruhr
Valley, this consent applied only to the
case in point.
Should the German government seek
to move additional troops into dis
turbed territorities, the consent of this
government first would have to be OBJ
tained.
The approval already given is not to
be considered as a precedent, and all
future requests will be considered care
fully before the attitude of this govern
ment is made known.

Wa,st and Chaos Rule
In Russia, Report Says
Expert Declares Rehabilitation
Of shc Country Is Utterly
impossible Under Lenine

WARSAW, March 27.--Confusion and
wretched conditions generally prevail
throughout Russia, according to re-
port made to British and American
representatives here by technical ex-
pert who has spent months in Russia.
There is absolutely no wheat or flax
in Russia for export, he says, and wool
IS scarce, as sheep have been killed
for food.
The expert, who is native of Russia,
was permitted to visit farming and
manufacturing districts. and is en-
phatic in declaring the task of re-
facilitating the country under the
leadership of Nicolai Lenine is hope
less. When he entered Russia
eight months ago he felt con-
fident something could be done
to restore normal conditions. He as
serts the Bolsheviki have nothing but
contempt for America, England and
France, and that counterfeiters are
floating large quantities of American
and British money throughout Russia.

The Associated Press).-Communists
are firmly intrenched in control here

There are twelve thousand men un-

Brandler said the workers leaders
could call upon not only the workmen
of Chemnitz, who make up 90 per cent
of the population, but those of the en-

that troops were advancing toward this

Workers File Demands
The executive committee yesterday
sent number of demands to the Saxon
government. 1t asked that the siege of
Leipsic be raised; that officers of the
Reichswehr be dismissed; that Dresden
students and volunteers be disarmed;
that miners be armed and placed under
control Of the executive committees of
workers; that the government be re-
modelled so that workmcn could be given
guarantees, and that a new Saxon
Legislature be elected.
FALKENSTE1N, Saxony, March 27
(By The Associated Press ).-Wo
have taken over control in towns and
cities of lower Saxony, but there is an
impression their ascendency will be
short lived, as they are not sufficiently
organized in a military way to resist
pressure successfully. 1t is noticeable
that the nearer one comes to districts
where government troops are in power,
the weaker is the workers hold on
affairs.
In this little town, tucked away in
a pretty valley, fifteen miles from
Plauben, Max Hoelz, whose regular
job is lecturer in moving picture
theater, is directing affairs. Wide
spread reports that he had established a
Soviet republic here made him famous
throughout Germany a few days ago,
UuI 'HcSc TuHlOTS are OcClareQ untrue,
and it is asserted there is no Soviet
here.
Red Flag Waves on Castle
Hoelz has established headquarters
in the castle of Freiherr Falkenstein,
who has fed from this region. The
"Red" ag waves from the tower.
"The time is not ripe for the estab-
lishment Of a soviet form of govern
ment," said Hoelz. "The agriculturists
would not approve Of it and we quickly
would be starved out. We recognize
the absolute helplessness of workers
in case of armed conflict, and we will
not attempt physically to resist mill
tary occupation of Falkenstein. If the
troops appear we again will call a gen.
eral strike'
Hoelz, for whose arrest there is a
reward of 5000 marks, said the work
ers' grievance against the government
was its militarism and asserted they
would try to weaken the government by
agitation.

rauized government troops have
reached Wesel from the direction Of
Borkens. Fighting is in progress neal
the Dutch frontier.
The communication issueds by the
"Reds" that they have entered Wesel
is characterized by Dutch officials nj
false. This confirms newspaper dis
patches that the utmost confusion pre-.
wallis in the "Red" army.

While the workmen's army in north

at Wesel partially surrounded. the de-

government army, however, it is re-
ported in dispatch to the Rotterdam
"Courant" from Muenster, has swung
around the town to the north, attack

"Dinsliken and Haltern are now we'll

A fugitive, who reached Muenster, as
we'll as many correspondents who have
been going to the scene from nearby
points, insist that the workmen' 8
strength lies chiefly ir the Russians
and other foreigners with them.
Dutch Ready to Mobolize
Preparations to meet any emergency
at the frontier have been made by the
Dutch government, according to author
spondent. Plans have been perfected
for the instant mobilization Of three
levies of the I'd Division, and if it be-
comes necessary civic guards and vol
unteer corps from some frontier viii
lagos will be called to arms.
German government troops at Wesel
are under efficient officers, have been
reinforced and are absolutely reliable
according to reports received in mill
tary circles here.
ROTTERDAM March 26.-Hundreds
of fugitives from the Ruhr district are
nearing the Dutch frontier, according
to correspondent of "The Courant."
Some arrived at Steernburg last night,
bringing stories of the "Red Terror"
in towns through which Spartacists
have driven armored cars.
They confirm reports, the corre-
spondent says, that the workers. forces
are being led by Russians or other
foreigners.
The government at Muenster, it is
said, has had to contend with soviet
dictatorship after the Russian model,
which has been getting away from
Moscow.
Spartacists forces in the Ruhr VAL
ley have enough ammunition, but their
rations are very bad. In addition to
foreign officers there are many Prus-
