Apparently France acted against Germany without awaiting the consent of the Allies, but according to Reuter's Paris correspon- -dent trouble is not anticipated, as the diplomatic circular by the French Government to its representatives abroad emphasised that the action is in no wise hostile in inteat.

Millerand, when asked if Britain would accept the French viewpoint, replied-Britain has been victorious, sa has France: I am confident all will end well."
Herr Goeppert, head of the German Peace Delegation, visited the Foreign Ministry on the 5th sad reiterated the assurances as regards the porely policing character of the German operations in Rahr, which he declared would end in a week, bat the Inter-Allied Commission of Control declares that the German forces in Ruhr are utterly disproportionate to the mere restoration of order. Numeroas concentrations of troops are progressing. For instance, one Division is stationed at Muenster less than fifty miles from the Rhine which has already begun to enter the forbidden zone.
General Degoutte, in his Proclamation to the people of the occupied zone declares a state of siege in the region of Frankfort Darmstadt and Dieburg and prohibits all traffic between the newly- occupied roue and the rest of Germany, except the transport of food. He establishes a postal censorship, suspends the newspapers and takes over the military.telephone and telegraphs.
