Foreign Minister Von Simons at the last showed some bitterness, declaring that infliction of the penalties now would hamper future attempts. He had previously announced he would appeal to the league of nations. So far as officials’ statements were concerned, military action is confin- ed to the establishment of the new bridgehead at Duesseldorf, no Ger. man ports having been seized as had | been tnreatened. It was believed that economic | pressure will begin ‘Thursday, when |@ customs line will be established | parallel to the Rhine to a depth of | 30 kilometers—{about 19 miles). _ German customs houses will be seized and a tax of 30 per cent will be levied on all German goods, AMERICAN SOLDIERS COMPLICATE SITUATION The presence of American troops in the Coblenz bridgehead cdr: plicated the situation somewhat. If jthe Americans are permitted to co operate with the allies, the customs line will include their territory. How- ever, should Washington order the Americans not to participate, the customs line will be drawn west of the American bridgehead. In exacting the penalties the al- Nes feared theré might be protests from German radicals. They were encouraged in this by the German |delegation, who sent elaborate in. structions to Berlin to see that any such outbursts were suppressed. ‘The fact that Germans in the oc- cupied territory received the invaders quietly tended to calm any such fears. NEWSPAPERS APPROVE NEW ALLIED MOVE British and French newspapers generally approved the new allied move, The French were almost unanimous in supporting the de- cision, some of them declaring that French troops should remain on Ger- man soil until the entire indemnity had been paid, The British papers were not so unanimous, some declaring occupa- tion will not help collect the money the allies need. Their approval was for the firm- ness the allied leaders had shown in not considering the German offers which were viewed ‘generally as far less than the country can pay, GERMANS PEEP OUT WINDOWS AT INVADERS WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES Mareh 8.--Allied troops marched across the Rhine today.
