Dusseldorf, Germany.-The anti
occupation sentiment is much stronger
in Dusseldorf, Ruhrort and Duisburg,

occupied by the French. than in May
ence, COblenz and Cologne, which also
have been under foreign occupation
for more than two years by the French,
Americans and British.
AS one crosses from the left bank
of the Rhine and enters recently oc-
cupied territory the mood of the pop
ulatiOn becomes more sullen, their be-
haviOr more alOof and their hatred
much more pronounced.
More Like Military Rule.
The reason may be that the French
are occupying that part of the right
bank of the Rhine that they hold near
the Ruhr in real military fashion and
the occupation is much more severe
than that on the left bank.
The hatred of the population is di-
rected more especially against the
French, and children are being brought
up in a constant terror and undis-
guiSed ScOrn of the occupying forces,
which gives but little promise that the
real brotherly love between French
and Germans will be achieved with
the coming generation.
The absolute refusal to speak
French, even by persons well acquaint-
