to Great Britain
ENGLAND QUICKLY REPLIES
by the Associated Press

London, April 12.---The latest French
note on the subject of the French occu E
patton move. received here this morn
ing. says that the French troops in
Frankfort and other occupied cities will
be withdrawn Immediately upon the
withdrawal of the German troops from
the Ruhr region. II promises. 1t is stat
cd. that no further independent action
will be taken by France.
It is said that the communication is
couched in conciliatory terms and
should tend largely to alleviate the
gravity of the situation. The note was
discussed at n cabinet meeting presided
over by Andrew Bonar Law during
LLOYD Georges absence from London.
The solidarity of the Entente is en-
phasized in the French communication.
In British official circles the opinion
was expressed today that all the dangers
with which the situation was fraught
had definitely been dispelled and that
there was every prospect of an amicable
understanding.
