RHINE EVACUATION
LOOMING AS ISSUE
Germany Reported Preparing
Request for Reduction in
Allies Forces.

By Cable to The Star and New York World.
PARIS, June S.-A report from
London that Germany is preparing
an official request for reduction in
the effective troops Of the allies oc-
cupying the second and third Rhine
land zones has caused some disquiet
here. It is believed that the ques-
ton will be raised before the adn1is-
sion of Germany to the League Of
Nations. 1t IS feared that at that
time the Reich will ask for more, pos.
sibly complete evacuation.
Germany would invoke article 431
of the Versailles treaty, to which, If
Germany fulfills all her engagements
under the treaty within Is years the
occupational troops are to be with
drawn. AS a member of the league,
with a permanent seat in the council,
it is considered that Germany might
argue that the allies should consider
her as having fulfilled her obligations,
while as for her financing engage
ments, so long as she conforms to the
Dawes plan she could claim to be be-
yond reproach.
French nationalists are seriously
disturbed at the prospect They point
out that while every one in France
thought the latters army was estab-
lished at Mayence until 1885, with
time after that to organize a defense
behind Lorrain Beach, through which
the Germans passed In 1870, no one
now can count on this.

Some two years ago Mr.. Underwood
gave up his leadership. That was the
first step In his retirement. He had
served as a member of the American
delegation at the arms conference con-
vened by President Harding in 1921,

bold criticism of the administration

SYRIAN FRUIT LOST

"Apricot War;"
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
DAMASCUS, June S.--"The apricots'
revolt" is the term used by the French
soldiers to designate the sporadic
warfare going on around this city
between bands of brigands and un-
organized rebels occupying the Damas-
Gus gardens and the French forces.
The presence of the rebels is pre-
venting the gardeners from gathering
thousands of tons of apricots, which
ripen, fall and rot on the ground.
The gardens belong to wealthy pro
prietors, who parade about Damascus
giving utterance to francophile sentl-
ments, but who, nevertheless, last Oc-
toher are said to have made pact
with the same bandits against the
French. They now ask that French
soldiers be sent TO protect their fruit
gathering. At the same time they
have received an offer OF protection
from the rebels If they give them one
third of their crops.
The French authorities refused 10
send soldiers to their deaths for the
benefit of the land owners. and Wnen
they tried to gather fruit under the
protection of the rebels the latter
sniped any soldiers coming WITHIN
sight. This brought a vigorous re-
turn fire, the fruit gatherers being
the principal sufferers. They tnen
gave up the work. The present stu
alton has been in progress since the

French Damascus garrison, was IN
formed by the intelligence service
that bandits were concentrating and
gathering together a stock OF gren-
AIDES, cartridges and rifles In tumble
down house in the Midan quarter
with the view Of concerted attack
on Damascus the night Of May 7-S.
Col. Grandcourt sent native ennis
saries to warn the brigands that un-
less they ceased all military activities

ed and destroyed. AS soon as they
received the warning, the rebels
hastened to evacuate the women and
children, who took refuge in the gar
denS of Damascus and adjoining
villages. but continued to concentrate
munitions At the hour fixed in the
ultimatum Col. Grandcourt opened
fire on the section, which is more than
a quarter of mile from the city
Five and three inch shells rained
down upon the quarter for three
quarters of an hour. In all. so rounds
were fired. Several shells hit the
store of munitions gathered by the
rebels, causing explosions, resulting
in heavy loss OF life.
