SYNOPSIS SITUATION
international News Service

NluterndtlOildl- NeWS SefNlCe.b
A French army moved swiftly into
Germany from the Rhine today, oc.
cupying five large towns in the neu-
trail zone and intermediate country
surrounding. According to official
circles in London Marshal Foch used
nearly 100000 men for this operation
New complications in the German
situation are feared as a result oil
this Independent military movement
by France. II was understood in
London that the British cabinet was
taken by surprise, although 1t was
declared in authoritative sources that
Great Britain either had or was about
to withdraw her opposition to the
French advance.
London reported that a protest had
been made by Washington against
the French action, but this was sub
sequently denied by Secretary of
State Colby.
The Italians, according to a dis
patch from Rome, are expected to
maintain a passive attitude.
Members of the German govern
ment expressed fear that the French
military movement might cause the
collapse of the Mueller cabinet,
No resistance to the French adj,
vance was reported, although a dis
patch from Coblenz said that gen
eral strike was called at Wiesbad
when news of the occupation ~
Frankfort was received there.
The French troop movement was
ordered because of the heavy forces
of German government soldiers sent
into the Ruhr district against the
German reds. The French contended
their action was necessary to safe
guard their eastern frontier.

Forces commanded by Gen. De-
Goutte, which have been holding the
Mayence bridgehead, were ordered
forward by Marshal Foch following
the efforts on the part of the French
government yesterday to induce the
Berlin government to withdraw Its
forces from the neutral zone along
the eastern bank of the Rhine, where
they had been ordered to disperse
communistic units that for the past
fortnight have conducted a revolt In
the rRuhr valley.
Stirring scenes at Mayence yester-
day are described by Henri Bidou,
military critic of the Journal Des
Debats, in telegram to his paper.
He says that during the afternoon

query was put to Premier Millerand
by the Echo de Paris last night, the
premier answering, England was
victorious and so was France. l am
confident everything will work out
perfectly"
Asked who would pay the expense
incident to occupation, NJ. Millerand
replied:
"Why, Germany, obviously, since II
was she that by her acts obliged us
to resort to coercion"
Occupation of Frankfort, Darn
stadt and other German cities in the
neutral zone is generally Endorsed by
journals of all shades Of political
opinion. 1t is recognized the opera
ton will be risky and burdensome,
but unavoidable in view of the tend
encies of the Berlin government.
Critics OF the premier, however. de-
plore the fact that the allies are not
participants in the movement. Per

de Paris, says more concrete support

"Mr. Wilson's memorandum of
