FRANCE'S INTERVENTION IN GERMANY.
Paris, April 2
At the Cabinet melting M. Millerand announced that he had received a verbal comununication from the British Government with regard to the French occupation of Garinan towns, but the official text had not yet arrived.
Brussels, April 9.
The King presided at a Cabinet meeting “ás a token of friendship with France and affirmation of Allied solidarity." It was decided to inform France of readiness to send a Belgian detachment to the Ruhr.
Paris, April 9.
The British Note was received too late for, extended comment by the press which chornaes praise for Bel- gium's decision actively to support France."
The papers
state the Belgian Caoinst which is most anxious to basten pourparlers for a Belgo Freněk Alliance will place Bel- gian railways at France's disposal. Anglo French difference is over methods not aims.

Washington, April 9.
As far as is learnable the State Department's action regarding the Ruhr is confined to an expression of opinion that the German Government should be permitted to send to the Euhr a reasonable number of troops neces sary to restore, order and maintain supremacy. France is fully informed of the American position.
Berlin, April 8. Semi-ocial: Five sentries fired.on a German patroi sixteen miles north of Frankfort. An officer, Lieutenant Count Kalnein, was mortally wounded.
Berlin, April 9.
The Minister of the Interior has casfinunivsted 13 the State Governments the contents of the inter-Allied note cabled yesterday as regards disbandment of Reichswehr. He points out the government is regretfully forced to refrain from purposeless counter proposals and therefore requests the state governments to carry out the demands as soon as possible.
Berlin. April 9.
The industrial council has rejected the communist motion in favour of an immediate general strike in order to overthrow the government. Regular troops who crossed the Ruhr have been withdrawn to the north bank. Re-establishment of security on the basis of the Bielefeld agreement is hastily being pushed on owing to the necessity for carrying out the Entente's demand for the departure of the regular troops as early as possible. According to the "Vassische Zeitung" the Entente envoys have already-arrived in the Ruhr Valley to supervise the evacuation of the neutral zone.
Itappears the disturbances at Frankfurt are due to the spreading of a false rumour that Britain and America are requesting France to withdraw troops. Everything is now quiet
Paris, April 8,
The occupation of German towns was completed yesterday. French troops took over Homburg. Disorders caused by pan-Germanist students, reported from Frank- fort, were quickly repressed after a few had been killed. Germany yesterday forwarded to, the French Government a note protesting against the occupation. The French reply whigh was forwarded to Berlin last night points, out the German invasion of the neutral zone at Rohr was not only a violation of the Treaty constituting a "casus belli but a breach of a definite pledge given separately to France. There would be reason to believe the Germans will evacuate, the Ruhr Valley in a few dapa.—Havos,

DOWNTRODDEN MAN,
AMERICAN WOMEN CRITICIZED.
New York, Feb. 99-The women of-åmerica are under- going the novel experienos of baing mada the target of strong criticiam directed against their acceptance of servile homage from man, their extravagante, and their sibility.
political irrespar-
To-day they are assailed from three sides, Leo Tolstoy, the grandson of the Russian sage, tells them that their attitude to wards life in general' provoked the spirit which-led-to-the-war in Europe. Senor Vicente Blasco Ibanes, the Spänish novelist, after three months' resideace bere informs them that they [have made slaves of their hus
hands; while Mr. A. Mitchell Palmer, the United States Ar- torney-General, has imperilled This prospects as Presidential candidate by bluntly lecturing a fashionable audience of New York ladies on their prodigality in the matter of clothes.
Senor Ibanez, a: Philadelphia yesterday, made the following observations to the men of the University Club
Every American man is a coward before woman, and his, status with regard to her is identical with that of the Southern- Inegro_-_bofaro- the-advent-of Abraham Lincola. The condi- tions under which American man live and labour are almost the same as in prehistoric days. when men were warriors and bunters, going out to chase the boar and other animals for food, while their women stayed at home minding the kitchen and the children. The only differences now are that the American man chases dollars instead of wild animal*, snd his wife does not mind the household, but go | shopping or to a matinee instead
If the American man is poor ha comes home at night after a hard day of dollar chasing and has to be housekeeper as well; be cooks the food, and after dinner hei washes the dishes.
The chorus of protests which was raised by his auditors did not deter Senor Ibanez, who proceeded
As a Spaniard, let me tell you American men something. What your country needs is a second emancipator; moreover, your wo-) men are tired of excessive adula- tion. I hare dined with them many times in Paris; they would give dinners in my honour, and I would be the only man present. At dessert I would say — Ladies, there's no one to hear us. Tell me frankly, do you like all this bowing and scraping of the American' man, all this exag- gerated respect? Aren't you sick of it?" Whole-heartedly they would answer:Si. Senor, we are disgusted with it. We should like to be dominated for [change."
Señor Ibanez ended his daring trade by algising American men "treat them a little roughly once in a while."
Mr. Mitchell Palmer's temerity was wien greater than that of the chivalrous Spanish novelist. Scanning the fashionable andi ence sa-embled to bear his views on Bojsterism and other pro- blems of the day, he observed,! "You don't look to me as though you were specially concerned in the high cost of living." "But we are," responded the expensive-; ly dressed women.
The Attorney-General calmly| proceeded: "My wife took me out to tea recently. Thera I met a woman friend, who greeted me with the question: How do you like my new hat?' 'I don't like it. I answered. 'Well, you are a courageous man to tell a woman that she said. I replied, "I don't | like any new hat. I don't like any, new clothes at this time."; My own clothes are old; this saiti I have on bears a tag showing; that I've had it five years. Just now there is an orgy of spending. | 2 People have more money in the banks-tban ever before, and they; seem determined to spend it. The women of this country spend 99; per cent. of all that is spent. Do you know that? If you women would refuse to respond to the cest of the merchants to buy, you could quickly bring down the prices, which are bearing so
