THE GERMAN UNREST.

·WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1920.

Paris, April 1. The statement attributed to the now German Chancellor that France had agreed to allow German troops to occupy, the Rahr Valley for two or three weeks as necessary to quali the "Red" insurrection is odeially Janied in Paris. Tho French Premier, in a letter addressed yesterday to Harr Hayer, repeats that France could only allow such a deroge tion of the Peace Treaty if it were a case of urgent necessity and adds that the Commission of Control has reported that in its opinion, she despatch of moss German troops-to-them. Ruhr Valley would not only be useless but also dangerous That being the case the French Government, though desimas of facilitating the task of the German Government, could only reserve its answer to the German groposals-Hara

Paris, April 2

The Berlin Government is again active in its efforts to convince M. Millerand that the Ruhr Valley situation is stil! -fraught with slanger The Charge d'Affaires‘yesterday again presented his views and compared notes with the French Premier concerning developments in the industrial areas. To all arguments it is said M. Millerand replied by the naser- tion thas France's policy will be maintained even though Germany grants guarantees of intimate supervision of German movements and the extension of the French occupied zone to include several important cities. This it is pointed out in contingent upon the so-called danger not developing any further evidence of the imperative necessity for the presence of large bodies of protective troops. French opinion is exultant over the victory obtained by the French Government-- without the aid of Allied Goternments and even in the face of the approval of President Wilson to the German proposal for increasing military atrength in the Rube Valley. It is also believed that the vit of Marshal Foch to Millerand yesterday morning was for the parpose of considering what measures may be taken if Germany fails to diminish her present forces in the troubled zene.--Havaa

THE PUBLIC BLAMED.

Philadelphia, February 1- *Colossal ignorance” of the American public of the condition and methods of ita Navy is ra- sponsible for the controversy in which he is embroiled, Raar Admirial William S. Sims said: to-day at the home of his sister, Mr James O. Newling Havars fard.

He declared that Naval Officers were "muzzled " and characteriz- ed as "rot" the charge of in subordination mada against bim by the press. He said that his report and criticism of conditions in the overseas feet were made according to regularly estalished practices of the Navy Departs

ment.

"All I have to do in this matter is to prove my good intent," the Admiral asid. He soon will face a Senate Committee named to investigate his charges.

Admiral Sims declared that | there is no politics in the present ntroversy and the press is entirely responsible for an im- pression to the contrary. He said Republican and Damncratic newspapers have tried their best to make a political issue of the situation.

"Congress is making an in- vestigation along the lines in- dicated in a letter I sent to the: Department," Admiral 5d said, "When I speak of politics I refer to the press. This whole matter has been stirred up) by the newspapers."

"It is absolute ro: the way the papers assume that I was insubordinate in my report to the Navy Department. Why, officers are required by-regulations to submit a report on conditions and suggest improvemenia and; point out mistakes.

Why, only ten dags before I sabraitted my report an order, came through asking for just such a report. These reports are [ often made, but we Navy Officers are, in a way muzzled. I can send such a report to Washington, but cannot make it public. The Nary Department publishes this, and it publishes what it wants.

"You fellows don't get all the facts, and the American public; doesn't know anything about its Navy at all in consequence. It knows less about its own Navy than any other country in the

the world. During

the public's, ignorance on military and Daval affairs was colossal."

Referring again to the charge. fof insubordination, Admiral Sims said that the senate asked for the reporta.

"The press in assuming insub- ordination on my part does not understand naval methods in thik country," he said. "It is perfect rot to say that I was insubordi

Admiral Sims was asked his view of a controversy involving Admirals Beatty and Jellions of the British Navy as the result of criticism in a book be Bellaire of an oversight on the part of Ad- miral Beatty in one of the war's most important naval operations. "Politics," was his comment. Admiral Sins recommended education of the American public on naval affairs. He pointed to the fact that in Great Britain the newspapers employ naval experts who have access to the mazal recards and who are gaslified to write instructively spon the
