THE EUROPEAN SITUATION

The situation In Europe at this
lime Is that of IN exhausted armed

length of time. The occupation NV
France OF the Rhine valley reccntl,
without bloodshed has led man,
people in that country to believe that
this policy can be followed out even IN
the occupation of Berlin.
On the other hand, there are others
who realize and understand that the
French Government is triiling with
a powder magazine which may 20 Off

lions OF Europe in one of the blood

Premier Lloyd George OF Great Bri
tain understands this, for he Is now
c"ntending with an Internal war IN
Ireland. which is worse than an open
conflict. 1t involves mon, women and
children. But what is the cause Of all
OF this? 1t is the logical result of the
Treaty Of Versailles. In that treaty..
II was specifically understood and
agreed that the German people would
not pay any indemnity. They were
not to pay the cost of the war. They
were to restore the devastated regions
OF France and pay the amount neces.
saty 10 reimburse the private owners.
Government property was not includ
