ing of $349, 900 from city trust funds

stolen by Lewis and allegedly re-
stolen by Tyler totaled $106,792.
Tyler had been assigned to the task
of recovering the money at the time
of the Lewis theft.

vealed accidentally when City

All France United

By bHtted Press
PARIS. March 13.-France was
united today in a demand for
strong penalties against Germany
for its reoccupation of the Rhine
land. She was confident that the
military strength OF allies as
pledged in mutual assistance pacts.

Tense against any eventuality.

treaty yesterday not only created
a tremendous military Gordon of
French allies but also emphasized
the solidarity of French political
leaders and opinion of every class.
With that pact now awaiting only
the signature of President Albert
Lebrun and routine ratification by
Russia, France felt free to main
tain more strongly than ever its
stand that the League take formid-
able financial and economic action
against Germany.
