WAR IS RACING

Germans in Occupied Terri
tory Accuse French Of
Spreading Propaganda.
BY International News Service.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Jan. 80
The war between France and
Germany continues. It Is a war q:
paper bullets, with the Rhineland
as the battlefield.
Speak to any German in the Co.
cupied territory and he will tell you
that the French administration is
carrying on a deliberate props-
ganda for the separation of the
Rhine provinces from the German
Fatherland, with a view to their
subsequent annexation to France.
The French deny this and
charge, on the contrary, that the
German government is smuggling
the best communist agitators into
the occupied zone in order to con-
taminate the army with the virtue
of bolshevism.
Some weeks ago the German civil
administration became incensed at
the separatist propaganda and pro-
ceeded to arrest the ringleader OF
the movement, Herr Smeets. The
French sided with the agitator and
asked the Inter-allied Rhinelands
Commission to secure his release,
which was effected in quick time.
German newspapers In the occu-
pied zone have become very touchy
on the question Of the separatist
movement. With. they charge, IS
an expression of French imperial
ism In disguise. They quote the
speeches of Maurice Barres and
other French nationalist leaders to
show that the government at Paris
covet the rich territory on the left
bank OF the Rhine.
