German Press Comment.

Berlin, May 7.

With the exception of Hugo Stinnes' organ, the Deutsche Wlgemeine Zeitung which describes the Franco-Belgian reply as an unbearable insult and impudent foolish sss. the papers comment cautiously, pending the receipt of British and Italian replies. They hope the door to further negotiation is uot closed.

The Vossische Zeitung says M. Poincare obviously wants to continue the discussion while the Germania draws the same cou- clusion from M. Poincare's "Ambiguities."

The Vorwoeris pessimistically expresses the opinion that the necessary discussion will now be more difficult and more protracted than the interest of Europe demands.

The Berliner Tageblati says passive resistance in the Ruhr must be intensified, regardless of threats or friendly admonitions.
