“FOGH 1S BACKING RHENISH REPUBLIC, GERMANS CHARGE a Berlin Newspaper Says a Fund of $2,000,000 Has Been Raised in Paris. BERLIN, June 6 (Associated Preas)—The French have a propa- ganda fund amounting to 10,000,000 francs ($2,000,000) with which to fur- ther the movement for the estadlish- ment of the Rhenish Republic, de- elares the Karlsruhe correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger. This sum, he says, is being used principally in the Rhineland and Palatinate and it is being partly distributed to those fav- oring @n independent republic at Lan- @au, Mayence, Cologne ahd Wies- vaden, who without doubt, he adds, “have been bribed.” Dr. Dorten, who was named on Jane 1 as the president of the new republic, has not been seen since his appointment, but has isued two der crees to workers and to “officials of the Rhenish Republic.” The correspondent states, that all ‘the political parties except the Cen- trists have united in protesting to the French against any violation of their right to self-determination and demanding the suppression and ex-' pulston of the disturbers of the peace. A proclamation by Gen.

There is nothing in their pro- cedure which might occasiop protests or strikes, which disturb order and economie life.” MANNHEIM, June 5 (Associated Press).—When the project of the Rhenish republic was first broached Marshal Foch, Commander in Chief of the Alted Armies, was approached through occupation officers and ask whether the Rhinelanders could: work for a republic without the risk of be- ing disciplined by Germany, accord- ing to the Neue Baden Landes- zetung. The newspapér states that Marshal Foch and Premier Clemen- ceau of France conferred on the subject and sent a reply to the Rhinélanders that “the German Gov- ernment would never again have any- thing to do with the left bank of the Rhine, and, hence, the propagandists YOUTH SAYS HE GAVE GEM LOOT TO PAROLE OFFIC Grand Jury Investigation of Charges Ordered by Court After Hearitg Accused Boy’s Story.
