MAKES APPEAL
DIRECT TO u. 5.
Germany 10 Protest French Oc-
cupatiOn Through United
States il is Learned

Washington, Jan. 11--Germany
has decided to appeal her case in
connection with the French occu-
patton OF the Ruhr, directly to the
United States Government, it was
learned today.
Tomorrow DR.. Otto Wiedfeld,
German Ambassador here, viii
present to Secretary Of State
Hughes a note which is understood
TO have been received from the
Berlin government, setting forth
the full position of Germany in the
face of the French march into the
Ruhr.
The note is believed to declare
that France has violated the treaty
of Versailles by going into the
Ruhr and to protect against this
separate action. Whether the note
will separately and specially re-
quest the American government to
take any action in the matter is
no5 yet known, but it is pointed
out that the mere addressing of
the note 10 the U. S. constitutes
q thought of appeal to this coun-
trv. since America Is not a direct
party in the CONTROVERSY.
Germany is dispatching SINH
lar notes to all the other powers
concerned in the present crisis.
The attitude of the German gov
ernment is to be outlined as fol-
lows:
Germany will receive the French
occupation with 'passiye resist
ance."
Germany will not incite any
general strikes in the region be-
ing occupied an dto be occupied.
The government viii call on the
population in the affected regions
20 remain calm.
The German government now
ever. believes that the French ac-
tion will only have the effect OF
dcnleting Germany of it sresource.
With its resources diminished by
the French occupation, the Berlin
government holds that an attempt
70 diemerber Germany and not 70
collect reparations would be eYl-
dencel ..,',-.

Bootleggers here are rot taking

cording to reports. Their slogan

This is attributed to the fact that
two special detectives have beel m
