ATTEMPT to Eyade Terms.

BY United Press.
Paris, April 6-The French oceu-
patton of German cities followed
long controversy between the gov
ernments OF Franco and Germany in
which France charged Germany with
repeatedly attempting to evade the
terms of the treaty of Versailles.
After the Won Kapp revolution
the communists rose in the Ruhr
valley. On the return of President
Ebert to power. he attempted to re-
store order and asked the allies for
permission to send troops into the
Ruhr zone, which German troops
were forbidden to enter under the
terms of the treaty.
The French government refused to
grant the permission which was dc
sired and the request was renewed
only to be rejected a second time.
Finally German troops proceeded in-
to the district without French con-
sent. This action was followed by
an order from Marshal Foch to Gen.
eral DeGoute at Mayenee to advance
into the territory involved This
movement was hailed here as the
French decision to require the full
enforcement of the terms of the Ver-
sailes treaty.
