BELLIN, April 6, Official and other reports of the situation in Westphalia and Ruhr show that German regulars entered Dortmund which the Reds had com siderably plundered, and are advancing eastwards agafunt much stronger Red forces. The regulars occupied. Mulheim without fighting and the whole northern border of Rubr. The Red losses haar Feltum exceeded 300. Two armoured cars and aviators participated. The Reds in the Hoerde district stormed the railway-station, The Bads were collecting at Eshen, where they robbed Krupps provision department, but the regulars are expected there immediately.

The minister for defence and commander-in-chief at Berlin issued a proclamation to Rhenish Westphalians denying that agreements with the workers had been broken by the entry of troops who were ordered to avoid severity or provocatory acts.

Goeppert, the head of the German pence delegation, visited the foreign ministry on April 5 and reiterated assurances as regards the purely policing character of the German operations in Ruhr, which he declared would end in a week, but the inter-allied commission of control declares that the German forces in Ruhr are utterly.disproportionate la any mere restoration of order. Numerous concentrations of troops are progressing. For instance, there is ene division stationed at Muenster, less than fifty miles from the Rhine, which has already begun to enter the forbidden ze. General Degoutte in a proclamation in the occupied zone declares a state of siege in the region of Frankfort, Darmstadt and Dieburg. He prohibits all trafic between the newly occupied zone and the rest of Germany, except the transport of food. He establishes a postal censorship, suspends the news papers, and takes over the military telephones and telegraphs.

Britain's silence as regards the circular is taken as consent. Some of the French papers appeal for British co-operation with the against "continual violations of the treaty." The Ed Britain having taken from the Germans what they ended, it is only just that France should insist on ensuring her safety and guaranteeing the Supplies.of Ruhr coal. The writer adds that M.
