was actually captured at Bunker Hill

Washington, Jan. with the
Paris conference of Premiers on the

the attitude that she would never

final crash in Europe come before
submitting to the plan of Premier
Poincare for the so-called productive
guarantees of the Rhineland and hte
Ruhr, with military action threatened
to carry the French programe into
effect. .
The significance of this attitude of
Germany is that if the French pro-
ceed to take Independent action
against Germany when the Paris CON
ference collapses. crisis of the first
order will be created, threatening the
peace of all Europe.
Only prompt intervention by the
