France to withdraw her forces m the German neutral zone. For two weeks the telegraph wires Paris, London, Rome, Brus- and Washington have been kept by 'communications between the ctive Goveffiments. Long before Marshal Foch moved a le French soldier the French Gov- ernment was told that the ~ Allies would not support her, and was warn- of of the grave consequences of nch, pasion, however, disagreed with 'her allies and acted upon her own initiative and judgment. I am now informed: that not only ad 'the allies oppose the French t- ee titude, but' that they differed from France on the question of the alleged | violation of the Peace Treaty. An exact statement of facts from the allies reads: "The allied Governnients conpider. ed the condition of the Ruhr Valley as social disorder, with which the Ger- and|{ man Gevernment alone should "deal and be held responsible: In the opin- ion of the allies, as expressed to France, Ruhr conditions were not matters with which the allied Govern-| ments should have anything to' do." A despatch from Paris says:--The British Government (has notified the French Government that if it persists in acting alone inthe measures to en- force the treaty Britain will withdraw her representatives from the Commit- tee 'of Ambassadors; which is the offi- cial body with the enforcement of the Versailles Treaty. This warning came at the end of a note from the British Cabinet handed Premier Millerand by Lord Derby, British Ambassador. This note stated that while the good faith. of France was not doubted, she had acted hur- riedly in taking a measure which should have been used only as a-last resort.
