FRENCH RESTORE ORDER,
Paris, March 7. A French source in Duesseldorf states that, following distur- bances in the Badische aniline factory at Ludwigshafen on March 5th, three thousand workers stormed the factory. The German police fired on the demonstrators, of whom three were killed and 52 wounded, and of whom 31 are seriously hurt. Four police were wounded. The authorities requested the French military to intervene, and the French commander assumed control of the German police and sent a detachment of troops to the factory who restored order without firing a shot.
