4 POINCARE SCORES GERMANY'S PLAINT Points to Bismarck’s Plans as Justification for Occu- pation of Ruhr Region. HE PLANNED IRON REIGN None of Teutonic Brutality Will Mark France's Invasion, Premier Declares. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, March 12.—Raymond Poin- care, premier of France, in a state- ment to the Associated Press de- clared that Germany's recent com- plaint that the French and Belgian occupation of the Ruhr is illegal and in violation of the rights of man seemed strangely ill-founded, when the world recalls what Germany was ready to do in 1871, had France not paid her indemnity to Germany. The premier added that official documents proved that Germany wished to rein- force her army of occupation in France to a degree necessary to guar- antee her rights, and that she was even ready to resume the war by mobilizing a half million men The premier was asked his opinion the memorandum recently fo! warded the powers by the govern- ment of the Reichs, contesting the legality of the Iranco- Belgian occu- pation of the Ruhr. Refers to Bismarck. “I ghall not answer that personally.” replied the premier, “I prefer to give you an irrefutable opinion for it from & German statesman. placed by the Germans among the very highest. I refer you to Bismarck himself. Poincare took from his desk and opened, a volume and turned the pages until he found a pamphlet in the German language entitled “Dip- Tomatic Acts, 1871 to 1914. “Note that these documents are dated August, 1871,” said the premier. “Germany is victorious, France is in a_ full political crisi Bismarck fears Thiers will be overthrown and that another government may &rise in France unfavorable to the treaty of Frankfort. What does the iron Chancellor do? He immediately plans a reinforcing of the German army of occupation. But, read for yourself! Would Increase Forces. The telegram cited by M. Poincare showed that Bismarck on August 1871, sent to Waldersee, German charge d'affaires in Paris. the follow- ing_message: %It the present crisis i means a political al, we be 1feve we are authorized to strengthen the German army in France in a measure necessary to our rights. To this telegram, according to the copy shown the correspondent, Bismarck %dded this confidential postscript: “For ot France Your personal information, I would like { *“that if the French political sit- on becomes uncertain ‘we do mot think it prudent to await an act of aggression by France, but as soon as the maintenance of peace appears doubtful we will immediately proceed to the resumptlon of hostilitics by mobiliz- 0,000 men."” g arek followed up this telegram with & letter declaring that Germany ould engage in military operations the moment the execution of the treaty of Frankfort seemed imperiled, declaring it was quite natural the preparations might result in a new declaration of war, or a new war. “The quicker W Jetter continued, ‘move forward,” the February.

Shows Two Other Texts. H The premier than placed his finger on two other texts showing that the | German government proposed after the signature of the treaty of Frank- fort to reoccupy, after the evacuation, French territory in the event of a change in_the French government which would not be accompanied by complete recognition of the peace treaty and with guarantees for fits} entire execution, or in the event Ger- | many was not pald by the spring of 1874, The first of these documents was 2 telegram from Bismarck to Willlam 1, dated October 2, 1871, and the sec- ond & telegram from the German sec- retary of state, von Thile, to Count Arnim, German ambassador in Paris, dated May 25, 1872. “Today France {s merely acting in a similar manner, with, however, the great difference that the French meas- ures are plainly authorized by the treaty of Versallles, “And Frenchmen hold that the Franco-Belglan occupation of the Ruhr fa far from possessing the rig- orous character which Bismarck was arranging for his administration of French soll, as witness our helpful attitude toward the German Deople and the policy of feeding the needy population, Beores German Brutality, “No methods of the brutality which Germany planned at the time of Bis- marck had France not fulfilled her engagements would ever be resorted +to by France” France, continued M. Poinears, had ne intention of jumping into wild ad- ventures; she had no idea, as alleged, of occupying Frankfort and Heldel- burg. France had sought to induce Germany to glve her moral adheslon to the execution of the treaty of Ver- eallles; France had made repeated concesslons, but had finally reached the conviction that Germany never would fulfill her duty without the ex- ercise of pressure, No offers of me- ;ln!lolrdx would be welcomed in France, o . —_——e DEMURS TO INDICTMENT.

Steals Collection Taken at Church By the Associated Press, JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 12. —Jackeonville's “gentleman ban- dit"—so-called because of his po- lite manners and debonair ap- pearance—yesterday successfully executed his fifth robbery within three weeks by stealing the col- lection of early mass at the Church of Holy Rosary after he had at- tended later services. The young man was noticed in the church because of the fact he was a stranger. As the 10:46 srevices were ending, he left the church and walked to the home of the pastor, Rev. Father D. A. Lyons. When discovered in the _house by Mrs, T. Ralney of Chi- cag0, who was visiting her brother, the man said he had left & note for the pastor.

He declared he recognized it was a big job and when the plane were laid before him, the Shrine head declared it was “a splendid bit of worl.” “I am also pleased to learn” he continued, “that the citizens have formed a committee of 100.

Scrivener Is Washington's first police dog lost in transit? This questfon is driving Detective Sergeant Scrivener of police head- quarters to the verge of a nervous breakdown. almost a week for a valuuble police dog puppy from Ithaca, N.

And, to make matters worse, the headquarters crew have learned of the absent dog and are “working” the prospective police dog master for all that it is worth, Detalls of the Story. Here's the whole sad story: Last Monday Scrivener announced innocently and with glee to his con- freres of the detective bureau that he had obtained a police dog puppy from C. W. Rose, trainer of dogs, of Ithaca. N. Y. who has been demon- strating the usefulness of thcse dogs in Washington. The dog was to ar- rive on the following day. So chortled Serivener. Tuesday brought with it cheer for many. But it was a dark day for “Mitt" Scrivener. The dog did not come. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday stalked by in glum succession. The dog was “en route.” After roll call Saturday night De- tective Sergt.

The Justices of the District Supreme Court held a general term this morning for the admission of new lawyers. John Paul Earnest, chairman of the examin- ing committee, after proposing the names of the nine lawyers from other jurisdictions who were admitted to practice here, called to the attention of the court the recent death of Irving Willlamson, for more than twenty-six years a member of the examining com- mittee. He asked that a fitting nota- tion of the tribute of the committee be entered on the minutes of the court. In the course of his remarks Mr. FEarnest said: “Since the last appear- ance of your committee before the court in general term one of our mem- bers has passed awar. Each member of this committee feels that the death of Irving Willlamson is a severe loss to the court, to the committee and to the community. “A member of the bar of this court for fifty years, Mr. Willlamson was appointed a member of the com- mittee of bar examiners May 26, 1896.

When he calmed down enough to think clearly Scrivener instructed as follows: “Now have a man feed and water the dog and take good care of him un- til tomorrow morning, when I'll come over and get him.” Plans for Dog's Keep. It was cruel. Scrivener rushed to Detective Sweeney, dog fancier of the detective bureau, who Keeps kennels of pups, and made arrangements for a nice sanitary kennel and lodging for his dog. Sweeney assured him that all precautions would be taken for the dog’s safety and comfort until Scriv- ener could arrange a home for the dog himself. Then Scrivener dispatched Chauf- feur Jake Wolf, who was off duty at the time, to a store to buy a collar and leash for the dog. It is a beauti- ful collar. It is brass studded and has a large name plate. The leash is made of Spanish leather. A work of art. A debate in the squad room fol- lowed as to what name to give the pup. A name short enough to go on the tag was the object of the dis- cussion. Then the trouble started. Some anti-practical joker informed Scrive- ner that there was nothing to the call. Scrivener had to call the ex- press office to verify his suspicions. And today. Scrivener has an air of expectancy —a dog collar—leash—a keen de- sire to combat his joking enemies, but there is no dog.

HENDERSON, EN ROUTE TO PANAMA, March 1 Three phases of the firing test against the radio-controlled battleship Iowa, famous as “Fighting” Bob Evans’ ship at Santiago, and a destroyer attack on a battleship column, form the chief elements of the fleet maneuvers in Panama bay next week under the plans announced by naval officlals to the senators and representatives in Secretary Denby’s party aboard the Henderson, Phases of Gunnery Work. The destroyer attack on battleships will form the first phase of the gun- nery work. Thirty-eight destroyers supported by light cruisers and air- craft, will form the attacking force. They will fire a tot; of 114 duinmy torpedoes at the battleship: while they pursue a zigzag course in column. During the attack another force of planes’ will attempt to beat off the “wasps” with bombs. The superdreadnaught Mississippt will be used in the gunnery test against tho lowa. In the first phase, the Mississippt will open fire on the Towa ith five-inch guns while the ships are running in opposite directions, the purpose being to determine the best method of firing at an oncoming enemy. Next, the Mississippl will bring her fourteen-inch guns into play against the radio-controlled bat- tleship, while they steam a parallel distance of nine miles. ‘Test of Accuracy Planned. The Iowa then will be turned com- pletely around to determine what effect’ the sharp change of course will have on the accuracy of fire, and next the Mississippt will be put to the test of hitting the Iowa while she pursues a zigzag course. The final phase—if the Towa is still afloat—will be a night attack, in which the Mississippi will undertake to locate the Iowa while the ship is in total darkness. Once found dreadnaught is to illuminate the tar- get with star shelles while using five-inch guns.

That's the sacret, according to Nat Morgan, of the mosquito-slay- ing machine, which he has just perfected here, and which, he says, ‘will annihilate a hundred thousand “skeeters” a day. ‘The device consists of a motor, a violin string, an electric suction fan and a square of fly paper. The motor slides a bow back and forth across the violin string, which is tuned to produce the same kind of music as the mos- quito’s mating sons. The “skeeter” hears the vamping e and rushes to investigate. When he gets too near the suction fan pulls him in and deposits him on the fly paper. He dies a victim of glue and misplaced affections. According to Morgan, his device will attract mosquitoes from a radius of a mile, and ten of them would rid New Jersey of all its fabled hordes within a month. (Copyright, 1923.)
