Not In recent years has the com

the victim of the attack failed to
identify either of them as the guilty

SUGGESTED IN PARI.EY
Evacuation of Three Cities, if

SUGGESTED IN PARLEY
by Fred $. Ferguson,

United News STAFF Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Prcmler
BRAND may present to his govern
ment, soon after his arrival in Paris.
proposition OF withdrawing French
Troops from the German cities Of
Dusseldorf. Duisberg and Ruhrport.
In the Ruhr, according to a report
in government circles.
1t cannot be said positively that
these troops will ne withdrawn. Such
announcement. IL the announcement
comes, will be from Paris. But, 1t Is
understood. that the advisability of
such withdrawal was suggested to
BRAND at one of the closed meetings
of the land armaments committee
while the French Premier was In
Washington. 1t is further reported
that BRAND answered tho proposals
with statement which was taken
as a tentative agreement TO see that
the troops were withdrawn.
Leaves Himself Leewny.
II the troops arc withdrawn from
tho Ruhr cities, II Is understood the
evacuation will be ordered before
Christmas. Meantime. the assumption
is that the French Premier left him
self adequate lceway in his state
ment before the committee to ac-
count for any absence OF action, i'm
event OF opposition In the Chamber
of Deputies.
The advisability OF withdrawing
the troops from the Ruhr cities was
advanced as measure toward
strengthening the hand Of the Wirth
government I'm Berlin. Presence of
the French troops is a source of great
irritation in the German Industrial
region. Chancellor Wirth has held
on In spite of bitter opposition. on
the strength of an argument that he
can get better terms from the allies
than his predecessors. or possible
successors. His opponents answer
by pointing to the French troops in
tho Ruhr

iremier BRAND. as well as other
allied Premiers, is anxious that the
Wirth government retain control i'm
Germany. Wirth is regarded os ,
Liberal. and the best man i'm sight
10 prevent any possible return to the
mllltary group to power.
The fact that such subject was
discussed at the present conferences
Is convincing Illustration of the
manner in which the Washington
sessions are broadening. During the

DESCRIBES HARDINC'S
PROJECT IN EDITORIAL,
London Times Comments on Proposal
for Yearly international
Conferences.


LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The London
Times In an editorial describes as
very interesting President Harding's
reported project for yearly interna-
tional conferences with view of
possible development of an associa-
ton of nations. Its interest, adds
the Times. is not lesscned by the as
surance that II is merely President
Hardings personal suggestion.
The British delegates, continues the
Times, could no more than express
the general desire OF Great Britain
to forward the cause OF peace and
"reticence will be felt by the pru-
dent until American opinion in and
out of Congress has pledged itself to
definite proposals."
The confident spirit with which tho
President and the American dele
cation appear to face the difficulties
which beset the conference. concludes
the Times. will be learned with graft
fication.
