PARIS, Dec. 20:-Premicr Herriot,

ing for more than a week, received
newspaper men this evening and was
seemingly DESTROYS of dispelling rumors
which had been circulated regarding
communist activities in France.
Certain newspapers the premier
stated, have spread false reports re-
garding Communists actions with a
view of alarming the public. The gov
eminent did not wait for the advice
of these trouble makers to take action.
Indeed, the French foreign agitators
have been cornered. The wild reports
that preparations were being made for
a grave outbreak at Amiens was pure
imagination.
Il call on all good citizens to CO.

which is being spread at the moment.
French morale and credit are excellent.
= The government needs no advice on
how to preserve public order. 1t has
decided to repress disturbers regard

calls for peace and we guarantee
peace
Minister of Justice Renoult today
instructed the Paris courts to institute
proceedings against the afternoon nows-
paper La Liberte, for the publication of
false news.
The article to which the government
takes exception was the exposure Of an
alleged Communist plot in Amiens and
an editorial statement that the gov
eminent had modified tanks and ma
chine guns placing them in various SUBJ
urbs, with a view of repelling an ex-
pected Communist reprisal.

BERLIN CONCERNED
OVER EVACUATION
Cabinet To Discuss Problem
After Christmas Recess
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Dec. 20.-The evacuation
of the Cologne bridgehead by the oc-
cupying Allied forces will be up for
formal consideration by the Marx cabi-
net shortly after Christmas, when the
German government will undertake to
formulate communication setting
forth the German attitude.
Official utterances thus far have
been confined to a declaration to the
effect that Germany expects the
evacuation will be carried out in ac-
cordance with the treaty.
Taking its cue from London and
Paris press dispatches the German
press continues to express dissatisfac-
ton with the prospects that the Allied
forces will not be out of the occupied
district by January 10, the date spe-
Gifted by the treaty of Versailles.
The nationalist organs are especially
outspoken in their denunciation of what
they assume will constitute breach OF
the time limit set for the surrender OF
the Cologne bridgehead.

Cononel Rupert said.
''The American League was loyal
to johnson. We wanted him to stay
