 bers were traveling to Dusseldorf for coal war" barley were made Tues day
 The tender of one passenger train. en route for Dusseldorf was derailed when a bomb which had been placed oh the right t-of-waN exploded. An- other bomb a "dud," was also found. The French believe that the secret agents who placed the bombs on the tracks thought that the train was carry ing three members of the cabi- net of Premier Poincare-Andre Ma ginot minister Of war Count De LasteNrie, finance minister. and Les Le Troquer, minister of public works.

 Quick work in stopping the train on which Deveze was traVeline from Belgium probably averted serious wreck at Herbesthal where a DOT tic n of the rails was torn up. Deveze Was forced to walk along a long dis tance before boarding another train.
 shortly after this attempt at sa : botage was discovered. the Brussels express to Berlin, which preceded by q few hours the train carrying De veze hit a bomb at Homicide and one car was derailed. The engineer was seriously injured. French intelli- gence agents declare that the ter rorists not knowing en which train peVeze was riding, planned to wreck both trains. N.
 It is believed that the French will assess heavy fines against the towns where deeds of sabotage took place and will probably imprison local of ficialS in reprisal.
 The French and Belgian ministers are to map out a policy of dra stic action against the Germans. This step was decided cn recently at the conference between 1remiers Poin- care and 'Fheunis in Paris.
 The invaders have already made good on their threats to tighten the grin on the Ruhr by occupation of nine additional pitheads and adjein- ing railroad stations and seizlng more than 5000 tons of coal and coke.
 The military officials apparently are not u1icipa ting an early peace offer from Chancellor Cuno and are. therefore. carrying on, under the be- lief that Germany will not capitulate antil she is completely humbled.

Campaign of Terror Launched In Rhineland and Ruhr
 By Germans

BERLIN. April 17.-Germany has made her first definite peace offer since the French and Belgian troops marched into the Euhr valley over three months ago,
 The terms of Germany's reparatious proposals. made public in a speech by Dr. Hugo Stresseman, chairman O. the foreign relations committee or line Reichstag. before the members 'f the Reichslag, follow.

 L Restoration of German credit through the cooperation of the allies. similar to Previous offer.
 The new offer presented by Stresse- lran after it had been approved by Chancellor Cunos cabinet. is similar. with few exceptions, to the plan that Karl Bergman would have offered at the allied premiers' conference in Paris in January, had not the doors heen closed against him.
 Bergmann's offer stipulated S0.000.- t"e.00o gold marks as the final in demnitX. but tU.O00.0O0. 900 of thfs sum was to have been secured through an international loan raised hy aid of the allies. Under the S.res Smau plan. there is nothing to prevent the international commission. after examining Germanys ability tg ay. from assessing the former en- emy nation sum in excess of the :u,o00 Oo0, 00o gold marks of the Berg mann proposal
 Significant speech.
 It is considered sienifican; that q Stres semdn's speech, with the definite sreace propo osals il contained. follows foreign minister, in the ReichstaG
 Monday. Rosenbere's speech, upon analysis. was after all q plea for peace between the French and Ger man peoples. but. of course. con : tained the grain of hate to placate the extreme nationalists. Who are constantly threatening the govern ment.
 Stresseman, in his speech. ventured the query whether France really wanted separations or anneXatiou. If they wanted the latter. he declared NehementlN. Germany would never agree.
 Be stated that the eXpulsions from the Ruhr indicated that France had in mind separation of the Rdhr and Rhinelaud from the Reich, and hence .r Germany. in event that negotiations were to begin. would make the pre- iiminary demand that the eXiles be returned.
