ernments with troops on the Rhine"
says the reply Of the French govern
mcnt to the American note in relation
to army costs, made public to-day at
the State Department.
The note was given out in the form
CT cable message from Ambassador
Forrick, at Paris, which read AS fol-
lows
Il have just received note, dated
yesterday. from the Foreign Office stat =
ing the French government never had
intention Of contesting the right Of the
United States to be as completely re
imbursed for its army costs as the
other governments with troops on the
Rhine; that the French government is
persuaded that an easy and 1uick
agreement can be come to between the
Allied governments and the United
States on this question, and that it is
consulting the Belgian, British and
Italian governments.
NJ. P0lncare adds that he wishes to
inform our government how much the
french government appreciated the CO.
operation Of the American troops with
the Allied troops on the Rhine; that
thc French government greatly regrets
that our government should have taken
the decision to withdraw its troops:
their presence, while recalling the com
mon sacrifices, could only contribute to
affirm i'll the eyes of the entire world
the essentially peaceful character of
the occupation Of the Rhcnsh terri
tories.
at is in the same peaceful spirit,
without any idea of domination, that
the Allied troops after as before the
departure of the American troops will
continue the occupation. which has no
other ann than to guarantee the execu-
tion OF the terms of the peace treaty."
Inc message from Ambassador Her
rick giving the reply Of the
French government was the first an
sWer reccl*ed by Secretary Hughes to
ldentlc notes addressed by him last
week to the governments of Great
Britain France, Belgium. Italy and
Japan setting forth the rights Of the
united States to payment on an equal
footing with the principal Allied gov
ernments of the cost of the American
army OF occupation in Germany
Those notes stated that under the
terms OF the armisticc, as we'll as by
the Treaty of Versailles and the sep
aratc treaty between the United States
and Germany, payments for costs of
American troops in the Rhineland,
amountiog to $24l,ooo,ooo up to May
|, l92l, was made prior charge
against Germany. and that the United
states could not consent to distribu-
tion OF German reparations among the
AIMED governments to an extent which
Would postpone payments for costs of
the American troops.
The reply of the French government,
1T was said yesterday by Secretary
Hughes, was merely a "preliminary''
to further communications between
the United States and the Allied GOV
ernments in the matter of costs for
American troops in Germany, but it
was indicated that progress" was
beng made in the matter Of obtaining
recognition and settlement Of Ameri-
cas- rights of payment

Actor Causes Uproar by Resist
ing ''Comedy Cop" Who
Took Him to Jail

John Edward Evans, seventy-eight
years old, Of 222 East Twenty-first
Street, who said that he had been an
actor the greater part Of his life, was
arrested in the motion picture theater
at 443 Third Avenue last night on a
charge of disorderly conduct for too
boistcrous recognition of himself on
the screen. According to the manager
Of the thcatcr, it took two attendants
and patrolman to get Evans out Of
the theater.
In Night Court Evans explained to
Magistrate Douras that he went to the
theater with a friend whose eyesight is
not as good as il used to be.
"When | came on in the picture y
Evans told the court, "I pointed myself
out to my friend. He didn't see me
right away, SO l just said, There am.
But his eyesight was so poor that had

was There | am! There l AMI That

the court asked.
"At first. yes" said the prisoner, "to

was a real patrolman. At first thought
he was only comedy cop, and l didn't
want to be fooled"
"You'vc been drinking to-day" the
court observed.
"I drink every day. replied the pris-
oner.
After questioning several witnesses
Magistrate Douras found Evans guilty
and suspended sentence.
