where TO look for a union authority
that can give them specific reasons
for the strike and formulate demands.
An embargo was placed today on
all foodstuffs. An embargo on other
freight was placed a week ago when

quickly became apparent Prices be-

1t appeared certain that the strik-
ers. deprived OF the leadership OF their
national organizations would drift into
alliance with the port and harbor
workers who have been on strike for
several weeks. Because of the de-
pendence OF New York city on river
transport from the Jersey terminals,
the strike Of the ayardrae1 ecesyaAng .oys

operated to deprive the city at once of

Negotiations May
Lead to Downfall
of Lloyd George
BY YVES GUYOT.

NNoted FTence Econom iSt
Paris, April 9.-The Franco British
negotiations which have been going on
since the delivery of the British note
on the French action toward Germany
might lead either to the downfall OF
Premier Lloyd George. whose criti-
cisrn or France was made solely in or
der to curry favor with the British la
Dor party which is eager to stand out
in favor of the German Democracy. or
they might lead TO a bargain by which
france will renounce the privilege
conferred by the Anglo French agree
ment concerning the parcelling out Of
AsiamInor in exchange for British
backing in the present situation.
Either OF these two issues will be n
good thing for France. France signed
The Asiaminor agreement with Britain
IN 1915 and 1919, under pressure from
the vatican whose influence through
the strong position of the French
Catholic party is driving our country
TO perdition.
Should Lloyd George disappear
from the British political horizon the
entente cordiale would unquestiona bly,
gain, as his irresponsible attitude has
frequently endangered allied interests

The physicians statement that this
was the second stroke suffered by Mr..
Kitchin came as q distinct surprise
to his colleagues in the house
The attack evidently was coming
on the congressman while he was
speaking. Ordinarily his voice carries

side called out to him several times
to speak louder.
After he had concluded he went to
his seat and started 70 gather up

Bennett Line
May Take Over
Old Dominion

The prospect for resumption of boat
service on James River and in the
tidewater area is extremely discour-
aging, Alexandria Forward, member
Of the state corporation commission,
stated yesterday on his return from
Washington. Mr.. Forward attended
the series of conferences held in the
capital by representative OF Norfolk,
Sextpasta ssHs Hampton ana ether
wise q plan to relieve the condition
brought about by the discontinuance
OF service by the Old Dominion Steam
ship company.
Following a meeting at the Raleigh
hotel in which the whole subject was
discussed with Senators Swanson and
Glass, and Representatives Montague,
Holland, Bland and Moore participat-
ing. besides Commissioner Forward
and Col. c. E. Garrett, now member
OF the Washington bar. committee
was appointed to call on Admiral
Benson. chairman of the nited
States Shipping board.
Admiral Benson was much inter-
ested in the subject. and said that the
board would help all it could. The
trouble IL thai the shipping board
this trafflc. so there seems no imme-
date hope in that quarter.
Later in the day Commissioner For
ward, in company with most of the
others who had gone TO Washington
to look into the matter. went over to
Baltimore TO urge the Merchants and
Miners Transportation company to ex-
tend its service so as to take over
what the Old Dominion had aban-
doned. The situation was discussed
at length with President A. D. Steb-
bins, who promised to make an inves-
tigation OF the possibilities of his line
establishing a New Work -Norfolk SER
vice.
Mr.. Stehbins made it plain, how
ever, that he would not recommend
to his directors a venture involving
SO large an outlay unless he could
feel that the extension was practi-
cable and would pay.
Information was received from Nor
folk yesterday that the Bennett nnc
will take over the Old Dominion PROP
critics temporarily between Norfolk
and Richmond, and will operate that
service ON the former schedule. The
announcement was carried in 3 let
ter received by councilman Truxton
OF Norfolk from President Il. E.
Bennett
Mr.. Bennett is quoted as saying
that he was not prepared to say al
this time just how many boats
could and would be put into this SER
vice but indicated that IL docking IA
cilities were provided, ample service
to take care of the river and bay bus
mess of the old company will be or
ganized at once.

Paris, April 9.--While the
French government was en-
deavoring at two cabinet meet
ings today to find way out OF
the grave international situa-
ton created by the occupation
of Frankfort and other German
cities, the German diplomatic
delegation here was working
upon the draft of a violent pro-
test which tonight will be dis
patched to the government at
Washington, London, Rome,
Brussels, and Toxic, besides
the Quai D'Orsay (seat of the
French foreign office).
The German protest note charges
France with serious provocation in
sending colored troops 10 Frankfort
II also protests against the alleged ar
rogant attitude OF the French officers
in the city who, 1t is asserted, ARE
strutting along the city's streets
swinging riding crops" and thus pro-
voking the feelings Of the populaee. -
The main cause Of the Frankfort
riots, the Germans charge, was
French order that no one should be
allowed to leave the city, which thus
was completely blockaded and pre-
scented wild aspect in the evening.
when 10000 suburban householders
who had been allowed to enter the city
gates in the morning for their usual
marketing or other errands, found
themselves virtual prisoners within
the walls OF the town, unable to find
accommodation at the hotels which
were fully requisitioned by the French
and unable to dine owing to the
scarcity of food. which was also
reouisitioned by the French.
ORIGIN OF INCIDENT.
Relating the alleged origin of the
incident, the protest reminds Pre-
mier Millerand OF his consent to the
district on a policing mission. a con-
sent which the note says was given
on March 20. but withdrawn on March
81, following alleged pressure from
Marshal Foch, ex-President Poinsare
and Louis Barthou. also former pre-
mier. These three men are pictured
in the German note as the leaders of
French militarism."
The Berlin government reiterates
it's intention of completely re-estab-
fishing order in the Rub, district be-
fore Withdrawing the reichswehr
troops 1t asserts It's object viii be
attained within few days
To Frances contention that a pres
ident for Independent action was
established when Britain dispatched
her fleet to Constantinople the Ger
man government replies that In that
case the suprenrS council backed the
British action, while in the present
i. INSTANCE ... IL does. not support the
French advance into German terri
n tory.
~ In French diplomatic circles no ef,
fort is made to conceal that the situa-
ton is regarded as extremely serious
because the breakin~ up of the war

result in Frances isolation In Europe.
