There are now 40,000 railwaymen out, and several hundred thousand other workers are consequently made idle. Fears of famine in New York have been allayed through the arrival of supplies.

FRANCE AND GERMANY,

PARIS, April 12.

It is understood that when the French evacuate Frankfort and Darms- tadt they will likewise withdraw from Homburg and Henat. The Ger mans request three months extension of the period wherein they are allowed to begin disarming. This will be the first subject discussed at San Remo. The French will endeavour to limit their occupation to towns and will be willing to withdraw their troops as soon as the German forces in Ruhr are reduced to normal.

BRITAIN AND "FRANCE.

SOME TENSION STILL.

LONDON April 12.

In the Anglo-French situation a degree of tension still persists. Allied diplomats generally consider that all danger of a seffous inter allied crisis is dispelled. It is reported that Lord Derby personally drafted the British note which Mr. Lloyd George approved early on Saturday before his departure for San Remo. It is hinted that a personal interview between M. Cambon and Mr. Lloyd George would have facilitated progress but that this meeting was prevented

MrMillerand has handed Lord Derby the French reply to the second British note, which is believed to be most canciliatory and is expected to have happy results.

LONDON, April 13.- M. Millerand, interviewed in Paris after his speech in the Chamber, re-emphasised that the recent minor divergence of opinion in nowise affected the deep-rooted Anglo-French friendship He pointed out that there were French living on the left bank of the Rhine who knew Germany intimately. He stressed the importance of a real entente, especially at present, in view of assuring full execution of the treaty of Versailles and solving a number of overseas problems. France was ready to help Germany, but the latter must show a real willingness to Carry out the treaty. Hitherto she had done little respecting disarmament, war criminals, coal, surrender of - guns, Moreover, the milliarist spirit still in Germany. He concluded that the question of occupation of German towns has been finally settled between the British and French. "No bad" feeling remains. Lord Derby is resuming his seat at the ambassadorial conference. Unity, is as complete as ever it was ".
