Vague hints that work throughout the Ruhr district of Oerroany will cease within the next few days as the Immediate result of allied" occupation of Dulsburu, Dusscl dorf and Rnhrort and the seizure of customs, wrre made by Oerman mine operatorsi, civil officials and workmen here last night. There seemed to be little unrest among worklngmen last evening after the had finished a full dny's work, however, and thousands gathered on the streets to watch curiously the Trench sentries and to Inspect the French ma chine guns and tanks. They appealed quite cheerful and showed no resentment nt the presence of allied troops. Allied Officials Not Worried Well-informed allied officials de clared they did not believe there would be a strike in the Ruhr di.strirt, one assertnlg: "The people do not Intend to strike. Communists are pointing toward Russia as Germany's salvation, but working men already have repudiated thut Idea and will repudiate It again. Approxi mate! in.000 tons of merchandise was handled here today. This was onl half of tlie merchandise tonnage carried doily wlun the port held the world's record, but business is not at a standstill here, and I think the river seemed falrlv busy during the day, craft of various types shuttling to and fro. Germans declared It Impossible to di vert the heavy Rhine commerce overland outside of the occupied tone so as to avoid the customs zone, and they ex pressed themselves as beine firmly con vlnced that those directly affected would abandon competition In the world mar kets because of the high prices, unless they were auiej by the lierlln govern ment. They admitted they thought this extension of help was improbable. Strike of Workmen Forecast "We are ruined, should the Allies carry out tho program," one of the heaviest exporters said yesterday. "What can tnc workmen do but strike? What can happen to us but business failure? I will be a ruined man, but what good can that do Franco and England?" Allied officials had not been Informed as to the procedure planned for the ad mlnUtrution of the new customs zone. They were of the opinion that some commerce from the Interior of Oormony might be diverted from the Rhine, but tbey declared the most of it was bound to How through this district. The were emphatic In their asser tions thnt German business men would not be ruined by the penalties placed on Germany by the Allies. Two thousand Relglan nnd French troops are billeted in Duisburg, and French and uritisn grinooats are an chored in the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. Allied outposts have been established six kilometers east M Dusseldorf, four kilometers east of Duisburg and three kilometers north of Ruhrort, the line marking the new zone of occupation not having been definled as yet. Civilians have been ordered to sur render all arms by this evening. The emploes of tho postal service, the railroads and mines have been put under military control and btrlkes have been forbidden. Drdn. March 0. fRy A. P.) Announcement that allied forces had occupied Dusseldorf and other towns In tho Ruhr district did not cause any excitement here. The people appar ently are Indifferent, or resigned, to any measures France and England may take to enforce the treaty. At Munich resolutions denouncing the occupation were adopted esterday b the budget commission of the Havarian Diet. 'vThe allied advance, It was de clared, was a further Invasion of Ger man soil aod would tend to unite the German people. linden. Mnrch 10. (Hy A. P.)

V.S.ISSTANDINGPAT ON GERMAN SITUATION Washington, March 10. (Hv A. P.) American troops on tho Rhine art "standing pat," Secretary Weeks said today, and a similar attitude as to the Rhino situation growing out of the oc cupation of additional German cities liy tlio Allies was expresscu at tnc mate Department, No additional instructions have been sent to Major General Allen, command ing the American forces, It was said at the State Department, and no Inquiries have been made to the allied govern ments regarding the sanctions to lie Im posed upon Germany, which Include collection of customs duties at the new line established on tho Rhine and their pnyment to the reparations commission. American troops, u wni. pointed out, occupy their position in Germany under the terms of the armistice nnd not for the fulfillment of the treaty of Ver sailles.
