HOOTS HALT DRY WORKERS
SPEECH-BRICkS AND EGGS
SPEED EXIT.

Detroit, Mich, April 13.-William
E. 'Pussyfoot" Johnson, American
prohibition worker, was hooted out OF
Windsor last night and followed by
shower of bricks, eggs and beer
bottles as he boarded the ferry for
Detroit.
Such loud and antagonistic DEM
onstration developed when he ap-
peared in the Windsor armory that
he was unable TO utter a word of his
advertised speech and police had TO
escort him TO the dock to protect him
from the mob. He was uninjured but
several policemen were struck by fly
ing missiles.
1T was a regular bootlegger's 3
convention Johnson remarked. He
declared il the largest and most sue
cessful demonstration ever made
against him on this continent
A number of former service men
interviewed, but were unable TO quiet
the crowd.
They're making more dry votes
than could if l talked all night" ne
observed as he left the hall.

FRANCE MAY MOVE
ON GERMAN CAPITAL
RADICAL ACTION CONTEMPLATE
ED IF PREPARATIONS DEMANDS
ARE NOT SATISFIED. y

Paris, April 13.-It is no longer
doubted in circles here considered to
have been the best source of infor-
nation that France will either alone
or in common with the allies, take
radical action against Germany, if
satisfactory assurances regarding the
payment of reparations are not forth
coming by May l.
What form the action will take is
still only a matter for surmise, but
semi-official opinion is that it will be
such as 10 Impress the German peO-
pie as they have not been impress
ed since the aTmistlce
The occupation o1 the Ruhr valley
ana the entire industrial region Of
Westphalia IL advocated b. some
Others are convinced that the French
army should this time go to Berlin.
in order TO make sure. they argue,
of finishing a task which they should
be achieved much more cheaply in
the end by this method than through
the successive application of lesser
penalties.
1t is thought in official circles
here that the Berlin government is
well aware that there remains no
room for procrastination after the
end of this month. Hence. after fall
ing to interest the United States in
her case. as the French interpret the
outcome of the recent correspondence
between Berlin and Washington,
Germany is understood TO have made
a tentative effort TO draw Switzer-
land into the reparations question as
a mediator.
1t is understood Czecho-Slovakia is
disposed to join in the application OF
economic penalties against Germany
and even TO contribute TO military
pressure if desired.
A change in the French govern
ment in May, with a cabinet headed
by former President Poincare in
power, is predicted, in well informed
parliamentary circles, in case Pre-
mier BRAND should not succeed in
putting effective pressure upon Ger
many.
