on his work in disguise. He said that
he enjoyed the confidence OF several
soviet agents.
First Blow in 1915.
The first uprising, he said. occurred
in 1918, when two commissioners were
murdered by workmen. AS re-
prisal Zinorieff. president OF the
third internationale, and favorite of
the rufliauly elements, ordered 500
persons shot.
Three more uprisiucs. Sir Paul add

this treachery TO the soviet republic"
Sir Paul stated.
Tprisings in 1920 were sporadic. i'll
organized. and hampered by the oper-
ations of counter revolutionary troops
outside Russia, such as those OF
WranEel. which reused the suspicious
of the peasants and the workmen as
to their motives.
Denied Right to See Lenin.
Sir Paul declared il was his belief
that the worllmen, sailors and peas
ants only awaited the disappearance
of these counter reNolut ionary troops
from the Russian borders TO start
the uprising which is now taking
place.
During the revolt of March, 1919
the workers were refused admission
to Lenin TO present their demands,
and reported, he added, that lit was
easier to gain access to Nicholas ii
than the head of the Russian
republic" The sympathy of the work
men was lost to the bolshevlst gov
ernment, Sir Paul said. when II quar-
relied with the socialist revo utionary
party over the bolsheYik land policy
and the Brest-Litovsk treaty. both of
which the socialist revolUtionarie
opposed.

RESISTANCE NOT EXPECTED.
American Bridgehead in Path of
Proposed Customs Line,

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1921.
PARIS. France, March 9.-France
anticipates no serious resistance in
extending the occupation of the
Rhineland. The movements every
where are described as a simple po-
lice operation. No new mobiliza tions
of troops are anticipated. AT most it
is expected that the 1919 class. which
was to have been demobil;zed in
April may be kept with the colors
a few months longer.
Plans have been completed for
cutting off the occupied territory
economically from the rest of Ger
many by a stringent line of custom
houses The writer understands that
customs posts will be established
even beyond Essen, at the important
crossings at Bochum, Gelsenkirchen
and Oberhofen.
American Troops in Path.
Considerable curiosity is felt here
as to whether the Harding admins
tration will permit the allied customs
bridc ehead or whether it will have to
pass behind it. This is a Question
which is liable to give rise to future
complications unless it is carefully
handled.
1t is no exaggeration to say that all
of pressure on recalcitrant Germany.
The limit of concession. in French
opinion. had been passed. The compro-
mise finally offered DR.. Walter Simons
by Lloyd George and BRAND. namely,
thirty annuities aggregatinE 10000
100000 marks (about $22. 500. 600 0OO)
and a 80 per cent export tax. would
probably have been fatty refused by
the French parliament even if the
Germans had accepted it. There is
strong sentiment developing here to
maintain the new guarantees. both
economic and territorial. until the
treaty is entirely executed and not
merely to retire again as soon as
Germany, seeing her error. resigns
to accept the Paris agreement The
French, moreover, are determined to
get some money out of the present
application Of the penalties.
