TWENTY PERSONS SLAIN
IN DUSSELDORF RIOT
in Street Battle French
Quell the Outbreak.

SSeldOrf.-Following an attack by
German Green police upon supporters
Of the Rhenish Separatist movement,
in which at least 20 persons were
killed and hundreds wounded. Dussel-
dorf is in state of siege
French patrols are marching through
the streets, cavalry and armored cars
are guarding all strategic points and
strong forces of chasseurs are bar
ring approaches to French headquar-
tiers. On the ground that the German
police were not justified in firing upon
Rhineland manifestants, the French
authorities have flung a Gordon of
troops about the police barracks and
decreed the arrest of all policemen
involved in the conflict.
Among the killed are two officers of
the Schutzpolizei, or "Green police"
and the wounded include many state
and municipal police. Communist
"Centurii" also fired upon adherents
to the Rhenish republican ideal, and
the French consequently are taking
severe measures against Red leaders.
General Simon, French commander
of the Dusseldorf area, has issued
warrants for the arrest of not only
all Schutzpolizei and municipal police
concerned in the onslaught on the
manifestants, but also is proceeding
against numerous high German Off
Gals who are believed to have given
the orders upon which the police
acted. In all, more than 200 Gerll IAN
policemen participated in the attack
upon the crowd of Rhinelanders.
