Paris German cabinet ministers
hereafter will be barred from the Ruhr
by the Franco Belgian forces. Pre-
mer Poincare of France and Foreign
Minister Jasper of Belgian at CON
ference here today drafted brief
note to this effect which was imme-
diately delivered to the German en-
bassies in Paris and Brussels.
The note reads:
"The Belgian and French govern
ments have established that the visit
of Chancellor Cuno in the Ruhr re-
gion and the action he took there had
for it's sole object and really resulted
in the provoking Of a dangerous state
Of excitement, particularly among the
big industrial leaders, chief function
aries and government employees.
Under these conditions the French
and Belgian governments, anxious to
avoid, especially in the interest of the
population disorders that might Oe-
come sanginuary, find it necessary
to inform the government Of the
Reich and the, governments of the
states that ministers of the Reichari
of the German. states no longer will
be authorized to enter the Rphr."
The conference between the French
premier and the Belgian foreign min
ister arranged for yesterday in Brus-
sells after consultations etween the
Belgian cabinet ministers and M. Let
rocquer French minister of public
works, resulted in the reaching Of
complete unity as to methods of action
in the Ruhr General De Goutte, who
the Belgians feel is sympathetic to-
ward them, will remain in command
as heretofore and no inter-Allied high
commissioner will be appointed, as has
been suggested in some quarters. NJ.
Jaspar returned to Brussels today.
M. Poincare and Jaspar agreed on
closer cooperation between the French
and Belgian cabinets, with frequent
consultations of ministers of the two
countries in Paris and Brussels. They
decided to make greater efforts to OPP
crate the railroads in the Ruhr and
to protect traffic from German sabo-
tage.
The conference was attended also by
M. Maginot, French minister of wal
and pensions; M LeTrocquer, minis
ter Of public works; M. de Lasteyrie
minister of finance, and M. Rebel
minister of liberated regions, as well
as by Baron d'Hestroy, the Belgian
ambassador.
This session was preceded by one Of
M Poincare's frequent meetings with
Marshal Foch, General Weygand and
the French cabinet ministers who at
tended the later conference.

AMERICAN DESTROYER
STAYS AT SMYRNA
Turkish Commander Admits that He Is
Not looking for Trouble and
"Litchfield" Returns.

London The latest information
from Constantinople as we'll as from
diplomatic quarters here indicates
that nothing important has developed
in the situation at Smyrna, where the
foreign. .warships are said to remain,
in defiance of the order from An
CORA. There is no confirmation of the
report that the Turkish officials at
Smyrna have reached an agreement
with the Allied naval commanders,
whereby the status quo would be
maintained pending diplomatic nego-
tiations. -
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Telegraph tells how the command
or, Of the American destroyer Itch
field met the Turkish order to leave
Smyrna. The dispatch says that the
vesselsi commander admitted to the
govern64a of Smyrna that the Itch
field registered slightly more than
1000 tons, the limit set by The Turks,
but explained that destroyers nova
days were necessarily fairly large
ships, and that he would like to stay.
The commander supported his answer
by adding If permission was refused
he had orders to remain anyway and
pointed out that it would be much
pleasanter to have any trouble. The
governor thereupon gave his consent
the correspondent adds.
Nogertbelegs, a few minutes before
the expiration Of the time limit the
Litchfield took turn outside the har-
Dor and then re-entered the forbidden
waters.
