BERLIN, June 9.-.anarchy would
prevail in the Ruhr valley if the Ber-

declares Theodore Wolff, editor-in-
chief of the Tagblatt. in an article
in that newspaper today. He denies
the French charges that the people
of the Ruhr are resisting because
they have been ordered to do so by
the Berlin authorities. So long as
French bayonets are in the district
the government would be powerless
to stop the peoples opposition by any
command it might give forth. he de-
clares.

"The sternest order from Berlin
would be bound to recoil ineffectiyely
so long as the Ruhr populace itself
did not agree with it," Herr Wolff
writes. But they will agree when,
and only when they can breathe free

are oppressed by no military right"

PARIS, June 9.-Premier Poincare
absolutely rejected the German rep

first official expression since the
receipt of the note from Berlin, when
he appeared before the senate COM

The premier said the French and

tion of the German passive resistance
in the Ruhr.
