Paris, April 1S.-The decision of
France and Belgium to suppress the
special high commissaria installed by
Germany in the Rhineland on the day
of the signing of the treaty Of Yer
sailles marks the plain intention of
France and Belgium to retain the
Ruhr and Rhineland indefinitely un-
less Germany accepts the Allies
terms.
From the very first the French have
objected to the German Rhineland
commissioner, whom they looked upon
as the center of the resistance to the
enforcement of the treaty, but they
were unable to get rid of him first
because of the Franco-B ritish-Ameri-
can convention Of June %, 1919, sim
posed by President Wilson, and Sec
ond. because of Great Britain's atu-
tude.
First Commissioner Replaced.
The first German commissioner was
General Won Starck, who was soon ac-
cused of fomenting agitation among
the Allied commission. In 1911 the
British succeeded in having him re-
placed by the more moderate Prince
Hatfield.
Nevertheless. the fact remained that
the French continually felt unable to
make effective the use of the Rhine
land occupation as a means of pres
sure on Germany because they were
prevented by Allied conventions and
agreements from threatening Germany
with the permanent loss of the Rhine
land unless she paid the reparations.
Great Britain's withdrawal from
continental Affairs in January, followed
Immediately by the Franco-Belgian &C.
cupation of the Ruhr and the with
drawal of the American troops from
the Rhine, virtually freed Frances
hands for the first time since the
war. From now on France and Bel
GUM will be supreme throughout the
occupied territory.
May Lose Rhineland.
"Thus," comments the Echo de Par
is. ito the reiterated refusal of the
Germans to fulfill their obligations,
there is opposed an equally determined
Allied policy. The Reich can resist
only by accepting suicide"
In plain language, this means that
Germany must pay or run the risk
of losing the Rhineland, perhaps for
ever.

Judge Terrell's decision followed Il,
temporary restraining order granted
by him last Saturday on application Of
Sheriff John W. Tobin, the other four
candidates on the Peoples Ticket and
the 81 men who had been NJ med by the
city commission as presiding officers
for the primary and general municipal
elections. The petition sought to re-
strain the mayor from attempting To
name new set of officers, after the
commission already had named one.
and to restrain the mayors selection
from interfering with the officers al
ready appointed. 1t also sought To
have the mayor and city clerk issue
credentials to the original set of off,
GERS. X,
Upholds Councils Contention.
All relief prayed for was granted by
Judge Terrell Wednesday when ha
made his temporary order permanent.
A new order, however, covering the de-
eision is being prepared BY Joseph
Ryan and r. ]. Mcmillan, attorneys
for the plaintiffs and will be signed
BY Judge Terrell at o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon. Under Judge TerreIl's
order the mayor is restrained from al
tempting to appoint presiding officers.
these officers he has already attempted
to appoint are restrained from inter-
fering with the duly appointed officers
and the mayor and city clerk are di.
rected to issue credentials to the lat
ter.
Judge Terrell's decision upholds the.

sioners that under Paragraph >. Sec
ton II of the city charter, the city
commission, in open meeting. is vested
with the authority TO appoint all Off
GERS at all elections subsequent to
June 1, 1915. The mayor based his
claim to a right to appoint such off,
GERS on Paragraph Of the same sec
ton which clearly applied to the cleo
ton in May, 1915, naming the first of
ficers under the commission form OF
government. About the only argument
advaeed by attorneys for the mayor
were that Paragraph ! should apply
because it named the presidin. oft
GERS specifically whereas Paragraph :
referred to AL election officers"

olution adopted by the city commits

meeting. overriding the mayors veto
