This However, Is Purely Speculative and There Is No Immediate Prospect That This Will Be Con- sidered.
Present Plans Are to Be Tried Out First-rhose Desiring More Drastic Action See Many Justifications and | Believe That such Action WouidA Not Necessarily Involve Opening of |, Hostilities.

Paris, Feb. i2 tBy the Associated Press) s)--Considerable talk is going on in political and international circles in Paris as to whether France, Belgium and Italy are going to succeed m bringing Germans to terms by action how being taken in the Ruhr valley under the treaty Of Versailles.
 hint At War
 It is pointed cut that every intensi- fcation of the allied action results in tho reinforcement of the German re- sis,ance, ard doilht is frequently ex- ore ssed in some Of the more aggtes- s;Se quarters as to whether the pres sure necessary 70 oblsge Germany t0 accept the system ot productive guar antees can be applied unless the al- lits resort to the declaration of a state of war.
 Sensitive to Criticism
 Premier Poincare is understood to be very sensitive as to public opinion abroad regarding the seizure of the Ruhr, feeling acutey the criticisms voiced in the United States and Eng land foreign exchange protest of the German government against measures which it declares illegal. Those who take an aggressive stand hold that a state of war. which would not necessarily mean the opening of hos tilities. would give Trance freer l hand in putting an end to the repeat cd protests of Germany over the ai- le sed illegality of the French action.
 Grounds for War.
 It is considered in these circles that there is ample ground for declaring state of war in these facts:
 That according to 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 politi- cal issue in Germany lately turned upon the question whether the treaty should be compiled with, and that the composition of the present govern ment shows that the opposition to compliance won.
 Resistance Another Reason
 That, finally, there is resistance by the highest authorities in the German government to the applica- ton Ol pllt HltdSltItS pIONlutu lO1 HI Article XVIII, of the treaty of Yer sailles.
 Well inforned 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 this would be the shortest cut and might end in a few months an opera tion which now promises to drag on indefinitely
 Any extreme measures Of this sort are not regarded as imminent, as the French, it is declared, intend thor oughly to try out the plan of acton they have undertaken under the treaty of Versailles. The declaration of a state of war, if ever undertaken. would be the outcime of gradual development of the plans of the allies under persistent German resistance.

 Constantinople newspapers main- tain that the situation will be adjust ed satisfactorily although they declare that the order closing the port Of Smyrna will not be countermanded.
