GERMAN POLICE
FIGHT FRENCH

lowing exchange protest Of the Ger
man government against measures
which It declares Illegal. Those who
take an aggressive stand hold that a
state of war. of which would not
necessarily NEAR the opening of hos
Titles, would give France a freer
hand in putting an end to the re-
peated protests of Germany over the
alleged illegality OF the French action.
1t is considered in these circles
that there is ample ground for de-
claring a state of war in these facts:
That according tt their standpoint.
Germany has practically torn up the
treaty of Versailles and thus de
stroyed the peace status that existed
by treaty.
That the principal political issue
in Germany lately turned upon the
question whether the treaty should be
complied with and that the com
position Of the present government
shows that the opposition to com
pliance won;
That finally there Is a resistance
by the highest authorities in the Ger
man government to the APPLICATION of
the measures provided for in article
XVIII OF the treaty of Versailles.
Well informed persons who are
talking of this eventuality express
the opinion that the declaration of a
state of war would have no worse
moral effect abroad than the present
action in the Ruhr itself. The French
officials, it is understood, are coming
TO the viewpoint that they are certain
to be criticized whatever they do to
get money from Germany. and that
tbs would be the shortest route and
might end In a few months an oper-
alton which now promises to drag on
indefinitely.
Any extreme measures Of this sort
are not regarded as imminent, how
ever, as the French, It is declared,
intend thoroughly to try put the plan
of action they have undertaken under
the treaty of Versailles. The declara-
ton of a state of war, II aver under
taken. would be the outcome of n
gradual development of the plans of
the allies under persistent German
resistance.
