, German population toward the pres- ‘ermy’s expenses for the first week, German Industrialsts Have Fard ™ By The Ameciated Press Ducsseldorf, Bept. 28 —Germany Bas spent enough money in bolstering up passive resistance in the Ruhr val- ley since the French troops entered last January to have made her regu- Iar reparations payments (o the alljes for two years, declared Gen. Degoutte today to the correspondent of the As. soclated Press, Moreover, he said this reckless expenditure should be ealeu. | § lated entirely apart from the inealeu- able loss caused by the ecopomie stagnation of this once thriving in. dustrial center, the direct result of the refusal of Germany to co.operate with the occupation forces *“More than 1,000,000 workers,"” said the commander of the French forces, “have now had a nice long eight months' vacation with pay, and natur ally they are rather keen to have the occupation continue; but it is not dif. cult to see that this economic fallucy cannot continue indefinitely.” i Judging from the general attitude | of the German population toward the | § ocoupying troops, Gen. Degoufte said | § he was fully convinced that if it had | § not been for the interference from |H Berlin the problem of making the oc- | § cupation pay, as well as of keeping | H the economic fabric of the Ruhr in. |§ tact, would have solved itself long be- | §§ /fore now, IE: “Some day,"” he said, “Berlin will | see, as many sensible people in the | Ruhr already see, that the Uormm H of workers for doing nothing. Leuv- | ing aside the ultimate fallure of this |§ method to frustrate the effects of the | $ occupation, as it 1s bound to fail, the | §§ idea of pouring out money to work- H ers for doing nothing is very bad|$ psychology. It will have many dis- | § astrous ramifications. Already other (4 workers, such as the miners, have |$ caught the idea the passive resistance | to their own employers. There work- | # ers, encouraged by the fact that their | $ fellow workers, who have been affect- | § ed by the occupation, have been ablc | § § to leave their jobs and still receive full | & pay, have now adopted the method of | § going to their work and spending the | §§ day discussing the problems of life or |$ playing cards. The natural conse- £ quence has been that most of them |§ were locked out. The same thing |3 should have been applied to all the |§ workers who refused to work under |3 the occupation authorities. If it had | been, passive resistance would have |8 melted away and there would have |§ be#n no interruption in the economic life of the occupied area.” |8 ‘When asked what his. impression | was of the general attitude of the |# ence of French troops, Gen. Degoutte | §§ replied: 4 “It's too good. discipline.” When further asked if the seizures | of increasing amounts of marks, | which have been prominently publish- | ed during the past few days in the H German press, represented a depar- | §§ ture from methods hitherto. practiced | §§ by the occupation army, he answer- |§ ed: - 3 “Not at all. We have been seizing money for the expenses of the army | $ ever since we entered the Ruhr. Thel$H selzures now seem much grater than | & at first because the mark now repre.- | sents only a fraction of what it did | when we came, thanks to Berlin's policy of paying vast sums for non- production.” “Let me explain about these seiz- | § ures of money,” the general continued. “As you know, the Treaty of Ver- |H sailles provides that Germany shall | § pay the expenses of whatever occu- | § pation forces may be considered nec- essary. When we first came 1 wrote a | § requisition on the Reichsbank for the | 1t's bad for military | & The Reichsbank refused to honor it, | § 84 Germany decided the occupation | Wwas {llegal. I thereupon said: ‘All | right, we'll just take what is neces- | H sary for our expenses.’ But don't for- | § get that for every paper mark we |§] seized we gave a receipt to the person | § from whom it was seized, and I am re. | § Hably informed that all holders of re- ceipts have been reimbursed by the | 8 Relchsbank. B “The same thing s true of every- thing else we have requisitioned for 3 the army, including automobiles. You | §§ may be surprised to know that several | Germans have coma to us requesting | f that we requisition their automobiles, | § 80 that they might cash their receipts H Wwith the Reichsbank at a profit.” GERMANY SEVERE ON TRAITORS High Court Has No Offenders Leipsig, Sept. 28 —Germany's high- | § est court shows little mercy for men | §§ arraigned before it for treason in the | § great war i Gerhard Strey was recently given a |8 Mife sentence for having hetrayed his |8 eommand in March, 1916 The evi- |3 dence showed that he deserted the |8 German army and went over ta the | § French A short time later concen- | § trated French artillery fire against | §§ the entrenchments where Strey had | § been serving showed that he had re- | vealed all detalls of the positions to |8 the enemy. i Strey returned to Germany in 1320, | 8 end was arrested at his home in|§ Magdeburg and charged with high | § treason, which he admitted.
