Tightening of censorship by the
French military authorities shields de-
velopments, even from correspondents
within the ring of bayonet, which the
invaders have now drawn taunt
around the occupied area. but rail
traffic has been practically at a stand
still since 10 o'clock last night.
The newly occupied area is cut off,
not only from the rest OF Germany
that lies to the east, north and south,
but from the occupied Rhineland on
the west as well.
Important French troop movements,
apparently aimed at absolute isolation
Of the Ruhr, were under way through
out the night and this morning. Heavy
gun caissOns rumbled through the
streets of towns that mark the limits
of the newly occupied zone.
Makes New Border
Many of the troops that were with
drawn yesterday from cities have been
flung in an impenetrable Gordon Of
steel about the industrial zone, along
a line which France intends to make
new border for the next two years,
according to reports from both Ger
man and French sources. No one now
may pass in or out of the Ruhr, by
rail, water or highway without under
going the scrutiny Of French soldiers
and coming under the yawning muz-
zles of heavy field guns.
