DUESSELDORF, April 27.—(By The Associated Press.) +—Five separate bomb explosions on the Ruhr railroads dur- ing the night cut railway telegraph and telephone communi- | cations, temporarily disorganizing traffic. ters said the explosions had caused the most serious damage | since the beginning of occupation. | During the confusion the Germans made a series of efforts to run the cus toms barrier into interlor Germany large quanities of goods which the Germans were trying to get through were seized by the French. The explosions tore up sections of track and blew down the wires along side in each instance. In one case near Bomann a French troop train heavily loaded had a narrow escape. The explosions cut the line from the eastern Ruhr to Duesseldorf which is used for troop movements and the carriage of sup- plies. Four other lines were cut near Hattingen. ‘The destruction will delay trans- portation for several days while the damage is being repaired. Besides theso cases of violence, the French authorities report that an at- tempt was made to wreck a .passen- ger train near Mayence by placing huge pieces of iron and steel on the tracks. ‘The German efforts to run the French customs barrier {into un occupied Germany resulted in the largest haul of merchandise since the occupation. The French seized six motor trucks loaded with bolts of silk valued at 15 billion marks that had left the silk mills near Vowinkel. ‘The Germans claim a trap had been t for them. They asserted French- men offered for a consideration to show how the customs blockade could be run along a certain road left un- guarded at night, but that when the sille caravan they arranged to send, arrived at this road, a detachment of French soldiers surrounded the Ger- mans and confiscated the entire out- fit. A truck load of scissors, knives and other cutlery from Solingen also was seized. It was valued at 700,000,000 marks, GERMANY UNDECIDED ON PROPOSALS.
