Evacuation Hitch
 in DOrtmund Zone

Paris Aug. 27.--An apparently in- spired Duesseldorf dispatch today gives what is claimed to be an exact interpretation Of Premier Herrits $ promise made iR London 10 evacu- ate the rortmund zone the day aft CT the pact Of London is definitely signed. IL had been deduced that this meant the French troops would quit Dortmund on Sept. 2.
 It was explained that confusion had arisen regarding the moment when the order of military evacua- ton is given and the moment when this order is put into execution, The Herriot letter to Chancellor Marx. it is said. specified that the military evacuation of the Dorimund zone would be eeftcted proportionately as the economic evacuation progressed. It is calculated that there will be French railroad men in the Dort- mund zone at least until near the end of October so the last French troops will leave only after the rail- road mon depart.
