GERMAN CHANCELLOR
 BITTERLY ATTACKS
 ACTION IF RANCE
Republican A. p. Leased wireI

BERLIN, April 6.-Chancellor Muel- Ter declared today that M Millerand, French premier, at first informally consented to Germany's present mili- tary action in the Ruhr district, on the assumption that the operations would consume only two or three weeks. and alleged that. influenced by the French generals, Millerand decided ito make political capital out of Ger many's internal conditions. The chan cellor also asserted that the present French procedure was bound to give aid and comfort to the German Spar tacans, who continue to Haunt their lawIessness wherever they are given the opportunity.
 ''The occupation of Frankfort Darmstadt, Hanau, and other German places by the French" said the chan ceilor, lis a fresh attempt of Gallic militarism on the peace of the world peace only just restored after an era of misery. It will meet with the strongest condemnation by righ. thinking men and women everywhere.
 The French assertions that the German military in the so-called neu- tra1 zone against the lawless bands of Ruhr constitute violation of the peace treaty are but a Ilimsy pretext for wanton aggression.
 The material which the German government has already published and that which is yet to appear will plain ly shows that our action amounts ta only q temporary policing measure absolutely warranted by the complete state of anarchy prevailing there and, far from being a violation of the treaty. was indispensable to enable Germans to live up to some of the treaty's most important provisions.
 The chancellor then made the charge that France has altered her decision" obviously under the influence of the French generals. and continted:
 "The intentions of France, where militarism and imperialism seem again to be in the ascendancy. are only too clear. By invading cities like Frank fort, Hanau and Darmstadt. which are the principal gateways between north and south Germany, France hopes to throttle the German empire and cause our political disintegration."
 Herr Mueller asserted that, besiiR6 aiding the Spartacans, the French ac- tion certainly would swell the number of those who declare that. since France is more than ever bent upon -achiev- ing Germany's complete annihilation. Germany will be compelled to prepare for a death struggle.
 If the allied governments, if the decent opinion of mankind should placidly tolerate this act of French aggression concluded the chancellor. then the occupation of Frankfort wi0 mark the beginning of an era ofS in- ternational anarchy. the like of wlfiqA the world has never before witnessedl

RENT CASES FLOOD
 COURTS IN GOTHAM

NEW YORK April 6.--Nearly one thousand evicted tenants were assisted by courts today under new laws against rent profiteering. Tn most cases either the landlords agreed to de- lay eviction until the tenants whose rent had been raised could find other apartments, or the magistrates sum- marily granted stays of eviction vary ing from one to six months.
 Many courts could handle nothing but rent cases. Streets in front of some courts were blocked and police reserves were called to handle the crowds. fer whole families went to court, baby car riages and all. A sample tenants story was that of woman whose rent had been increased s7 to $37 month for a six-room apartment. and then jumped to s65. The latter sum she could not pay, and she was ordered out. She re- ceived permission to stay in the apart ment at the last rent she paid until she could find another home.
 Plans were made today for 200 law yers to give free legal aid to tenants with district boards similar to those that acted on draft cases during the war

INcpQpiiCdU A. P. EcdSC0 WIFE WASHINGTON, April 6. - Barred from the streets surrounding the British embassy, the Irish pickets today took to the air.
 From a. flying machine they rained down packages of leaflets expounding the Irish cause, and challenged the police to come up and stop them There being no sky cops in the national copital, no arrests were made. Four land picketS, however, who yentured out early in the day were arrested and held in the house of detention.

 The women who were arrested gave their names as Mrs. Honor Walsh. Germantown, Pa; Miss Elaine Barrie, Philadelphia; Miss Helen O'Brien, St. Louis and Miss Kathleen O'Brien, Philadelphia
 The arrests followed quickly the de- cision of United States Attorney Lasky that continued picketing would provoke application of the federal statute.

 WASHINGTON, April 6-Every cot ton growing state was represented to- day at a conference called by the fed eral horticulture board to consider means of meeting the situation arising from the reappearance of the pink cot ton worm in Texas. Only a drastic quarantine can prevent a disastrous spread of the pest, experts agreed.
 The board suggested that the state prohibit the growing of cotton within the affected area for a term of years and compensate the farmer for the crop already planted. Gov. Hobby of Texas and several members of the state dele gation who were present expressed their desire to cooperate with the fed eral authorities. If the state govern ment failed to act, it was said the de- partment of agriculture was prepared to place restrictions on the movement of cotton and cottonseed from Texas, as a means of protecting other sections.

No Surprise at Result

It was generally predicted that tho Plunkett ticket would be elected. Though that forecast was made by the Plunkett supporters, it was not vigor- ously questioned by the Young adher- ents, though they plugged along stub- bornly throughout the day. It was ac- curately forecasted, too, that the con- test between Barnett and Woods would be close one.
 The first precinct heard from was the Third where Plunkett received majority of S5. That was a gain of 50 over his majority in the primary, Gains over the primary vote for the Plunkett ticket were recorded also in the returns from the first and the second, but Young was leading in the fourth and the eighth.
 The friends of Young were still hopeful that the three southern pre- cincts, the Tenth, the Eleventh and the Twelfth. would extricate him from the hole in which the earlier returns seemed to have left him. but though he received majorities in all of them. they were insufficient.
