The elated onlookers began laughing and jeering, but the French at first took no notice of them. There was keen speculation whether there would be a strike by thc workmen in protest against the occupation. It Is understood that a moement was started to call a strike of short duration as a demonstration, but tho correspondent was informed shortly that the leaders of tbe Social Democrats were counselling against a strike. The general bentiment expressed by the populace up tp the time of yes terday's disturbante, at least, wag that the people of Frankfort were powerless to resist the occupation and that the best course to pursue would be to ac cept thc situation.

View Continued from Tare One ing in formal resolutions the with drawal of tho Helchswehr troops, Germany's error was In sending too many troops Into the neutral 7onc. There seems to be little doubt that Ger many technically violated her agree ment with thc Allies by sending more thnn were permitted under the protocol of August. She afforded nn excuse for France's military move by violating tho treaty. Morally nnd legally she had n right to take steps to put down disorder. But she overdid It. Her motives are hard to seek. Perhaps her government was in n panic over the Bed disturbances. But she acted with mere Prussian thor oughness. Perhnps she wished to demonstrate anew thnt tho treaty could not be car ried out, nlwnys a popular thing In Berlin, saw her opportunity In the llulir valley, nnd counted upon tho sympa thy in Kngland and Italy which events hnve shown to exist there. She probably meant to snap her fingers at France. Now the government has got Itself In the position where the labor leaders can declare once more that thc militarists have made mischief. For the govern ment to jleld now Is to seem weak be fore Hcrr Legien; therefore the govern ment turns to thc League of Nations. France Tempted to Display Force The explanation of France's precipi tancy is the wcukness of the French position through tho failure of thc League of Nations and of the French nnd American alliance, and the disposi tion in England nnd Italy to mitigate the rigors of the treaty. Men who arc weak are likely to be hurried Into a show of force. Franco was tempted to show the mailed fist. The invasion of Germany by thc French has been threatened mnny times since the signing of the armistice. It has always been popular with certain army leaders. It was threatened three times last summer. At that tlmo the Supreme Council hnd sufficient nuthorlty to hold the French bnck. But n man who makes a frequent gesture of reach ing to his hip pocket ends by completlug tho gesture. The motlvo of the army is cnslly un derstood. There is always n mllitnrUtln spirit ic an army.

APRIL 17TH IS THE DAY i'siZ It appears to have had certain political motives. One aim was to show tho people of Franco thnt the treaty must nnd would be enforced to tho letter. Doubts of its enforcement were permeating Ircnch public opinion as a consequence of thc progress which critics of the treaty were making In England. Only Superficial Support Tho French Government wished to confront the Allies with a fait accompli which would force them to her support. She has dono so, but It is an open ques tion whether sho has not really weak ened herself nnd the treaty becauso the support given by England, Italy and United States Is only on tho surface. And Germany Is likely to exact a price for backing down to savo tho face of thc French. In a sense this episode is a dying spurt of militarism west of the Rhine, Just as the Kapp revolt was Its dying spurt cast of the Rhine. The militarism of which President Wilson complained In his letter to Senator Hitchcock is confined In Trance to a few leaders of a smnll army group. The people are not militaristic. The country has not risen to thc glorious exploit. The finan ciers are cold. Tho franc is disconcert ingly going down.
