FRENCH GOVERNMENT
REJECTS GERMAN REQUES'


PARIS, March 31-The request Of
the German government that it be
permitted to send troops to the Ruhr
district in the neutral zone near the
German border has been denied by
the government Of France A note
to this effect signed by Premier Mil
leland was handed to DR.. Won Mayer,
the German charge, with whom The
Premier had had conversations over
the German request. The direct neg
citation between the French and Ger
man government without the paltici-
patton of the other allies, developed
in the exchange of communications,
are regarded here as of extraordinary
significance. DR.. Won Mayer made
his request to send troops into the
Ruhr region to the French govern
ment alone and to Mr.. Millerand as
Premier of France and not as a
member of the Allied Supreme Coun-
ell. Premier Millerand's refusal OF
the request is in the name of the
government of France without allus-
ion to the Allied powers.
