PARIS, February "a number of
arrests have been made at Mayence of
individuals carrying large sums of mon-
ey intended for the railroad strikers in
the Rhineland, it was announced at the
ssUretessHsGeeteaay. -
= An ~ofder-for general railroad strike
in the Ruhr is expected in government
circles at the end of this week or the
beginning Of next week, and it is anti
cipated that this may bring about a
crisis in the Ruhr situation and possibly
change the current of events.
1t is pointed out in official circles here
that the German government is in a
dilemma between Sanctioning a con-
tinuation of work in the Ruhr, which
would be likely to favor French plans
and a general strike which would OBJ
struct the provisions of the district and
presumably SOW discomfort among the
working population. 1t is thought that
Berlin will risk a strike, endeavoring to
place the responsibility for any incon-
venience or suffering by the population
upon the French.

BELIEVE TURKS BLUFFING
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1928.
PARIS, February 9.-French inner
circls are not alarmed over the near
eastern situation. 1t is firmly be-
lieved here that the Turks are bluff
fng and lack both the means and
will to support their bluff by war.
While the allies, it is admitted, would
doubtless be unable to hold Chanak
or even Constantinople in case of
Turkish attack. they could retreat
on the Gallipoli peninsula, where.
with the support of allied cruisers
and possibly troops from the Balkan
states, they could resist all Turkish
offensives
The morale of the Turkish armies
is described as mediocre. Turkeys
population Of 100000 is tired OF war.
which it has been wagging almost
incessant1y since 1912. The French
further consider the Russians i'll able
to send military support to Turkey,
owing to the disorganization reported
to be prevailing in the soviet army.
1t is therefore believed here that
after period of uncertainty peace
with the Turks will be signed
eventually. The French, moreover.
are now inclined to revise the project
ed Lausanne treaty, which, it is con-
sidered. makes too many concessions
to the Turks.
