L General DeGoutte to Enforce
Stern Decress Promulgated
But Not Yet Enforced
by Invaders.
(Bjr AiiMH'iitted Prff*.)
Dusseldorf, Mgy 4.—The Ruhr will
be ruled with a firmer, hand than 1
heretofore, now that the latest Uer-|
mSin reparations offer lias larn re-!
fused by tile French and Belgian gov-]
ernments was the gist of a zone an
nouncement made at French head-,
quarters here last night.
Just what additional pressure will ,
be applied by the French and Bel-]
plans in their effort to coerce thei
Germans to come to terms was not ]
made known, but it is assumed that I
General DeGoutte. as head of the oc
cupation forces, is planning to put in-1
to effect some of his decrees, already
promulgated, hut not yet enforced.
One decree, issued a mouth ago, I
provides that all vehicular traffic, ]
whether motor, steam, or horse pro
e polled, will come under the imme
diate supervision of the military!
authorities if they are liable to lie
used for transporting coal.
The Germans say if this decree is
enforced, it would shut down all Ruhr
industries within a month.
There is no indication of any weak
ening of German passive resistance.
At meetings held by the workmen's
councils of all trades, throughout the
Ruhr, the men themselves decided
unanimously to hold out to the limit.
According to German sources, be
lieved worthy of credence, the com
munists and syndicalists themselves,'
voted in favor of eftntinuanee of re
tance.
Some of the meetings went so far
as to vote that even should the Rer
lin government come out in favor of
surrender they would refuse to obey.
