Ruthenberg was freed on bail.

.KRUPP DIRECTORS
FIGHT IF CONVICTED
Will Carry Case to Highest
Court, Contending Against
French Authority.
Ry the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
WERDEN. May 5-The German di-
rectors of the Krupp works plan to
carry the case to the highest court
Of appeal in France if they are con-
victed by the present court martial
II was announced today by their
Swiss attorney. NJ. Moriaud. chief
counsel for the defense. The appeal.
he said, would be based on interna-
tional law and would take the ques-
tion Of the legality of the French
commanders order. which the Ger
mans are charged with violating.
The appeal also would contend that
the French have no right in the Ruhr
that the directors are not criminally
responsible for the acts Of the krupp
workmen. The defendants. apparently
are hopeful that they will have a bet
ter chance on appeal should the court
martial find them guilty than did the
Thyssen group. whose conviction at
Mayence was quickly confirmed by
the high court of cessation.
Additional Counsel.
NJ. Moriaud, whom the Germans re-
gard as the highest Swiss authority
on International law. will be rein
forced in such appeal by DR.. Grimm
Of counsel for the defense which
pleaded for Thyssen. He is professor
Of international law at Muenster.
The court-martial's progress on the
second day OF the trial indicated that
the case would continue until We'd
nesday without the holding of a Sum
day session. The prosecution tried to
bring out the menacing attitude of
the workmen prior to the firing by
the French soldiers. Witnesses testi-
fed that one group had reviewers
and another sticks and hammer han
dies Some OF the workmen testified
that many in the crowds were ex-
cited because they believed that the
French would requisition the trucks s
used for the purpose Of bringing them
from their homes, considerable dis
tance away.
The prosecution was pleased at the
admission of a Krupp official that the
workmen had asked him for authority
to blow the siren. which, however,
was already sounding. The president
Of the court pointed out that the off,
cials must have had control of the
sirens. or the workmen would not
have asked permission.

Clu,0 Offer Climax of German
Arrogance, Declares Tardieu
Coming at End of -Four Months of Rul,r
Occupation, 1t Sh0,Us French Control
Too Weak, Is Charge.

First, concerning the amount or
reparations Germany offers, sum
which represents almost seven and
one-haif billion dollars at the most
Granting that in various ways some
two and one-half billions has been
paid. Germany would be quits after
paying ten billions at the maximum,
or approximately six billions at the
minimum.
Such figures are ridiculous. At the
peace conference the American ex-
perts estimated Germany's paying
powers at maximum OF sixty-nve
billions at the most and minimum
OF forty-five billions. The repara- :
tions commission fixed the debt at
mont and other competent Americans
recently agreed the figures should
be between fifteen and twenty Dill
lions. Cuno's proposals bring II down
to from six to ten. and without the
slightest guarantee for payment 1t
is a pure joke.
Divide With BcIGinns.
Under this proposal France. after
the Belgian priority is cared for,
would get % per cent OF the resi-: resi-
somewhere between two and ne-ha II
and four billions, whereas she al
ready has spent seven billions for
reconstruction. pensions and occupa-
tion and must spend six more. without
counting the six and one-half billions
she owes Britain and the United
States and the ten billions which the
war cost her These figures empha-
size how unacceptable the German
offer really is.
The second comment concerns the
relation between the Ruhr occupa-
ton as carried on by the Poincare
ministry and these proposals. Never
has Germany been more arrogant. and
Cuno's note, coming on the heels of
four months of occupation, can only
be considered as Franco Belgian
setback. 1t conclusively proves the
Ruhr occupation never has been car
ricd out with proper frmness. Poin-
care declared the Ruhr a productive
gage. but nothing has been or is be-
ing done TO develop its productivity.
Former resolutions and a more eff
cient policy might even now achieve
this result and compel the capitula-
ton of the reich The question is
whether the Poincare government
will decide to follow such a policy.
We shall soon see.

fish from Boston and Portland has
been coming into the markets of
Montreal and Toronto each year. and
competing with Canadian FISH to
some extent on those markets The

question the modus vivendi will be
terminated on July 1. If the arrange
