Jan, 8, — Fifteen hundred fresh French troops arrived at Dusseldorf Sunday and demanded accommodations, the mayor of the city notified the government today, Three hundred automobiles were commandeered by the troops. Two schools and part of the bureau of finance were demanded as quarters for 300 officers, the mayor reported. The town is in a state of ex- citemen Tank and cavalry patrolled the streets.

Troops are quietly concentrating at Dusseldolff tn small detachments. Fast tanks and armored cars will form the advance guard, it 1s report: | ed, when actual invasion of the Ruhr starts. All that was needed to put in mo- tion the horizon blue machinery of | war which France has drilled and kept so long thruout the Rhineland was word from Paris that the repa- rations commission had formally found Germany in default. Infantry, it was believed, then would be rushed to Essen to support ments and from that center French troops would spread thru the Ruhr valley. For all this businesslike attitude and the pulse of war drums along the Rhine border, it. was believed France would proceed cautiously and that actual invasion cannot yet be said to have begun. France wants to learn more of intention regarding her troops and abéut what Britain is to do next, before taking ir- revocable action, One thousand picked American | doughboys and 100 officers stationed here want to remain. The French troops in the viein- ity were ordered to remain in quarters to prevent clashes with inhabitants of the occupied re- gion, and the doughboys had to do double duty. But with pay running over 3,000,000 marks a year, and a pride in their par- ticipation in the latest European war game, the Americans are keen for staying on, Pessimists in the ranks figure they'll be homeward bound in a month, however. Both French and Germans want the Yanks here. The French feel, with Foch, that as long as there is one American soldier on the Rhine, it gives a semblance of American participation; the Germans feel the United States troops act as a safety valve to prevent the French from overrunning the fresh aggression, Up and down the Rhineland’s oc- | cupied zones things had a martial ap- pearance. Traing were choked with | poilus hurrying back from leave, Ar- tillery wag in motion thru the streets of occupied towns and on the high- ways, Airplanes at the hangars were tuning up; soldiers on patrol duty wore their burnished blue “tin hats"; there wag new snap in the military meneuvers. Everywhere was evidence that if the French go into the Ruhr, they will do so with @ rush, with all the accoutrements of war. Tanks, ar- mored cars, airplanes, 763, light field pleces and engineering equipment will be pushed into the valleys of th Ruhr, along with the first infantry troops.
