Rl)HR SITUATION IS
IN HANDS Of FOCH;;
FRENCH ARE READY
Troops Prepared to Advance
Into German Territory at
Moments Notice. 200
Killed in Hun Riots

PARIS, April 5.-(By the Associat-
ed Press -French military meas
ures destined to force the German
government to withdraw it's troops
from the Ruhr basin now are entirely
in the hands Of Marshal Foch, it was
said at the foreign office today.
It is advanced in weII-informed cir
cles that occupation of Frankfort,
Darmstadt, Homburg and Hanau is
unlikely to exercise sufficient pres
sure upon the Germans, since they
may we'll argue that this occupation
is distasteful to the French as well
as themselves and cannot continue
indefinitely. On the other hand, the
expense of the operation comes up
as a vital question in the present
state of French vinances. The news
papers recall war tributes imposed
by German troops upon French and
Belgian cities and suggest similar
measures being applied to German
cities occupied by French troops.
Dispatches from Wiesbaden say
ing that General Goutte's forces are
under alert" orders are explained
as not necessarily meaning an i'm
mediate advance, but complete read
mess to move forward unless Ber-
lin promptly recalls the troops which
have entered the Ruhr district
against protests from France.
No censorship has been established
on 3news of the intended operation,
but since the matter now Us entirely
in the hands of Marshal Foch, COM
munications from the army probab-
ly will be surrounded with the usual
precautions, although the operations
is not considered on basis of war.
The latest information reaching
the foreign office confirms it's belief
that, despite the assurance officially
given by the Gem AIS ut only a
very limited number of troops had
been sent tn the Ruhr in reality the
number amounts to an army Of
900 men.
All information from the country
bordering on the Rullr basin, it was
said at the foreign office today,
tends to prove that there was no ne
cessity of sending an army into the
Ruhr, as the workers and commun-
lists were exhausted and without
money, food or ammunition. Con-
fl. atory information also has been
received that the movement in the
industrial regions was not Bolshevik
in nature, although many aliens were
involved, and was essentially anti
uliita1 istic.

Editor The Journal: When Lord
Bacon's dog destroyed the manu-
script Of the Norvum Organon, MAX
ing it necessary for Bacon to repro
duce it as best he could, he only ex-
claimed Little puppy, you do not
realize what mischief you have
wrought!'
When the Hall county Democrats
saw looming up so grandly in the
public eye after the war the great
figure of Herbert Hoover they felt
with thousands of others all over
Georgia, that he was the most avail
able man as the nominee OF the
Democratic party for president. We
found him up to there in our ranks,
an outspoken supporter of the ad
ADMINISTRATION voting the Democratic
ticket, and in all his utterances adj
vocating sound, progressive Demo-
cratic principles.
We filed a petition accordingly re-
guessing his name to be put on the
ballot. This did not suit the machine
politicians who, from all accounts
had already promised Mr.. Palmer the
vote of Georgia, leaving the body of

much merchandise. Thereupon the
little subcommittee instigated by
some pettifogging lawyer, who sug
gested this way out of the difficulty,
proceeded to subject Mr.. Hoover to
a sort of third degree, indicating at
the start that he was an object of
suspicion. He of course waived off
their impairment and uncalled-for
questioning in a dignified manner
and they arbitrarily refused to allow
his name on the ticket; Who can
tell what effect this "officiaI'' repu-
diation of Mr.. Hoover and his De-
mocracy had upon him? or what he
thought of the kind of men we Demo-
Gratis had for our leaders. If it caused
him TO look more favorably upon his
o1le-time political associates who
begged to be allowed to support him
and Democracy thus lost it's best
hope, it illustrates the havoc which
a few obstinate men accidentally in
position to do so, may bring about.
Nevertheless, who knows what may
happen? Mr.. Hoover has not as yet
aligned himself with the Republi-
cans. He has simply said: There's
my platform; if you see fit to come
up to that chalk line, and give as
surance of sticking to it, 1 will not
refuse to serve" But it happens that
his platform is exactly in accordance
with the principles always proclaim
ed by all progressive Democrats and
the platform on which the Demo-

POLITICAL TRADE
CHARGE DENOUNCED
IS CAMPAIGN LII:

The campaign committee at Hohs
Smith headquarters, in the Piedmont
hotel, Monday issued the following
statement:
"This mornings Constitution re-
prints a publication from the Macon
Telegraph which, without the 1ecst
authority or foundation. purports to
state some sort of trade about dele
gates to the national convention
when Senator Smith carries the state.
1.-THE Macon Telegraph's story was
called to Senator Smiths attention
yesterday before he left for Dalton,
at which time he said he would y
ply to the story in Macon, but that
it was such a ridiculous and fanifest
falsehood that he did not believe
even the few papers opposing him
would republish it.
1T now appears that Senator
Smith was more charitable in his
views of some of the papers than
the facts justified, and underest.-
mated the extent and capacity Of
IllO1II SIpPCLILC LOI tI4dllCIOuS IctlSC-
hoods.
I'm his absence from the city, bat
on his authority, we denounce the
story as malicfously and intention
ally false from beginning to end, and
is known to be false both by it's orig
inal authors and those who recopicd
it.
ut is merely a part I the cam
paign of malicious Islander which
has been adopted in the desperate
hope Of diverting the attention of the
people of Georgia from the pal
questions involved in the prese.
campaign. Fortunately we know
that many times before the same pa
pers have attempted similar cam
paigns of SANDER, and the records OF
those campaigns show that the pub
lie has never believed the smalles
fraction of what they published"

Telegraph S - Straw
Ballot Disappointed
Palmer Supporter:

AS evidence that the candidacy Of
Attorney General Palmer has been a
disappoin tment to his supporters.
Hoke Smith headquarters in the
Piedmont hotel Monday called atten-
ton to the following editorial COM
ment in the Macon Telegraph of Sun
day on the result Of it's straw bal
lot:
Some of the cynics in Georgia
journalism have endeavored to dis
credit the poll of the people as to
their preference in the presidential
primary, wherein it was shown that
Edwards had a tremendous lead over
the other candidates all put to-
gether. AS matter of truth. The
Telegraph started the poll hoping it
would show better for Palmer than
any one else, and was badly disap-
pointed at the outcome. Some of
Palmer's friends urged that the straw
ballot be abandoned, but it had been
started for the sole purpose of find
ing out how the people stood on Pres
idential candidates, and we even went
so far as to put Hoke Smith and
Tom Watson on the ballot, they hav-
ing announced just before 1t closed"

Palmer is not a serious candidate
for the presidency and that he is be-

statement the Hohe Smith managers
