Eiritain Uriels Unanimity of Action to Assure Success of Alliance in Enforcement of Terms. LONDON, April 11. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Dispatches from Paris today are more optimistic regarding hopes for an amicable settlement of the AnKlo-French difficulty over the occupation by .French troops of Ger man towns. However, according to a statement from an authoritative quarter tonight the crisis still bears f;rave aspects first, because there teems to be no intention on the part of the British government to recede from its firm demeanor against any independent action where the alliance is concerned and, second, because no fcigrn as yet is apparent that France is willing to withdraw her troops, but rather there is a disposition to ex tend her occupation. Great Britain's reply to France, jt !s asserted, reaffirms the determina tion to enforce the Versailles treaty in all respects, but in collaboration with the other allies. It points out, however, that the "present difficulty Js concerned, not with the execution of the treaty, hut with Germany's re quest for permission to employ troopy in the neutral zone. ' Military View Confirmed. The British reply declares that the strength and success of the alliance depends on unanimity of action and announces that the British ambassa dor in Paris, for the time being, will Jiot attend any meetings for arranK inK measures with regard to Ger many. This note seems to explain and con firm the of t-disputed version of the negotiations given by Chancellor , Muellel in the German assembly and adds a certain weight to the view ex pressed in many quarters in recent days that the French government was hastened into independent action by the military chiefs. Surprise has been expressed that Premier Lloyd George has not ' jhanged his plans so as to enable him .o pass through Paris on the way to the conference at San Remo, but it is believed he may have purposely ad hered to the design which would al '.ow a period for calm reflection. K-CUlWTlOX DISTCliBS ALLIES rcneli Policy Opposed by England, Italy and Vnitctl States. 'opyright by tho Nw Vork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON', April 11. (Special Cabl"!. There is no attempt in official larters here tonight to minimize .le gravity of the situation precipi tnted by the French advance into Germany. Much depends upon the way in which the German people ac- cept this single-handed attempt ot one of the associated powers to exact satisfaction for an evasion ot the treaty. The strong feeling against the French which recently has ' been growing in Germany may have the most unfortunate results at this junc ture. Meanwhile the British govern ment so far has not given any idea of a change in its policy of opposition to the French militarist policy. There a feeling in some quarters here that as France has got herself into the mess she should now try to find the way out of it. Liberal opinion here strongly con demns Millerand's action as provoca tive, and President Wilson's recent riticism of French militaristic policy is seen to have convincing: proof in this drastic step. it is stated to the World corre spondent on high authority that al though the French government knew that the council of ambassadors in Paris wag to try to find a solution of the question at its meeting this morning, Mlllcrand, a few hours pre vious, notified the associated govern ments that Marshal Foch had been Siven the order to advance. The parliamentary correspondent f the Daily Telegraph writes: "It is not too much to say that tho action f the French in occupying Frank fort, Darmstadt and other towns ii the neutral zone is regarded in diplo matic circles as creating an extreme ly delicate, if not serious, situation.' Wilson Harris, who represented the Rally News at the peace conference in 1'aris, contributes an article to that paper on the French occupation. He tsays: "From the very beginning of the peace conference French military opinion, effectively voiced by Marshal Foch, was strongly in favor of a more extensive occupation of German ter ritory, and X understand the proposal again has been advanced quite recent ly at a meeting of the supreme coun cil, though in the face of the opposi tion of Great Britain and Italy it was not pressed.' The Daily News says there can b no- question of any grave cleavage between France and her two chief European allies. "At the same time." it adds, "it is very doubtful wisdom for France to add deliberately to the not inconsiderable list of questions on which Britain and Italy find it necessary to differ from her."

Militarists and Politicians Disagree Over Wisdom of Armed Occu pation of Rhineland Cities. BT WILLIAM COOK. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PAHIS. April 11. (Special Cable ) Despite, the semi-official announce ment that England refuses to approve France's occupation of the Ruhr dis trict or to help her in it, the attitude of the French government remains un changed. The fact that Belgium, as was outlined In these dispatches, has decided to help France materially has caused great satisfaction. Nevertheless, public opinion seems to be veering around to the idea that perhaps France has gone too far, that possible little good will come out of the occupation of Frankfort and the other German cities. French militar ists still maintain that only the pres ence of French and allied troops in the German cities can show Germany that the allies mean to have the com plete execution of the Versailles treaty. Politicians, however, believe Germany could have been made to acknowledge her signature to the treaty more easily if the allies had remained united in the face of Ger many instead of France, before hav ing the approval of her allies, decid- ng to act alone. Much more would have been gained, is the belief here by a united allied programme than an isolated occupation by French troops of the Rhineland cities. France 'Will Stand Alone. Even at the foreign office such a view is expressed, although at the same time it is pointed out that France, if need be. will continue to remain alone and keep her troops where they are until Germany shall have completely evacuated the Ruhr basin. Marshal Foch, it is said, does not doubt that the French troops march forward across the Rhine will have a quicker effect in settling the Ruhr dispute and at the same time show Berlin that the treaty must be carried out in full. Statements at tributed to Foch say he does not ex pect Germany will resist very long while he flatly refuses to contemplate ny attempt on Germany part to start another war. He rather ima gines the allies have shown too mch leniency in the past and only a firm attitude on the part of the entente can intendent for the O.-W. R. &. N. com pany, and her 14-year-old son Jack.

Knotted Muscles Illumed. - SEATTLE, Wash., April 11. (6pe- ial.)- In July, 1917, Albert Fangen- erg, a Seattle soldier in the nia- hine gun company of the 41th in-' fantry, lost the power of speech and earing from an infection in a cut hand. . After a three years- study f his case by leading physicians in! Seattle and Portland, Fangenberg yesterday' broke the long silence when .electric plates were applied by a local physician in such a man- er as to straighten put the tangled ords that control powers of speech nd hearing. f I "Hello, doc," were Fangenberg's first words, and. his face wreathed in a happy smile. His case is still a mystery. Through the public health serv ice, he has been receiving the best of medical attention and from the ederal board of vocational education his monthly allowance to keep him school. He received an examina tion by Professor Stephenson Smith, professor of psychology at the Uni- ersity of Washington, who was also baffled and said he could find noth- ng organically wrong with him. Then he went to Portland. Here the best known physicians, as well as spe cialists, disagreed. Some said that his voal cords were paralyzed, but the majority agreed that it was a 'hysterical condition." A clinic at the time gave the verdict "acute bronchitis," and finally the last diag nosis was "aphonja." He was taken ta Dr. Calhoun who said that the muirles from the ner vous strain were "all tied up in knots." He tried electricity and, after few moments, a veritable miracle seemed to have been performed for Fangenberg looked at the doctor and spoke. Then the electrical plates were put behind his ears with the result that he heard plainly for the first time in months. At first, he said the words sounded "way off," but his hearing began steadily improving. in- Portland and was educated here. later taking an active part in social life..

(Spe cial.) The street cars of Pittsburg carry placards today announcing the appearance tomorrow night of Frank Bianch Riley of Portland. Or., and his illustrated lecture descriptive of the Pacific northwest country in Car negie music hall, Pittsburg s largest and most popular auditorium. The lecture was first booked in a smaller recital hall, but the interest mani fested in the event was so general and the reports of Mr. Riley's, suc cess in otner fennsyivanta towns so favorable that the big auditorium has been engaged and indications are that it will be filled to capacity. Mr. uiiey s remaining appearances Pennsylvania will be at Jersey Shore, hcranton, Chester and Phi acipnia, aner which ne will rill re turn engagements in Washington and t,lien go to Richmond, Va. He then will return to New York for a third series of lectures. By request of the president of Vassar college, he will lecture there May 12. Belgian Aid Welcomed. Parisian press comment hails with joy the news of Belgian participation and particularly criticises the English government. Premier Lloyd George's attitude, it is believed, is in complete accord with Premier Kitti's. Ths Lloyd George has adhered to Nitti programme of putting Germany and Russia on their feet - causes French editorial writers to remark, evidently with . intent to further appeal to America, that both statesmen prefer to see the economic re-esfablishment of Germany and Russia, where Italy and England could buy raw materials much cheaper than in America. For it is seriously thought here that England's reason for not. approving the occupation Is an economic one. I is pointed out also that the Italians so far have been very reserved in their comment.

That potato prices, which now have reached 7 cents a pound in the Salem market, will - go higher before the 1920 crop is harvested, is the opinion of Clj'de Harris, Marion county farmer and potato producer. Mr. Harris says the potato situation is critical all along tne Pacific coas and that immediate relief from th soaring prices is remote. One buyer. Mr. Harris says, visited the Willam ette valley following the freeze last January and - bought - approximately 150.000 sacks of potatoes. These he shipped to California and placed them in storage awaiting higher prices. Many of these potatoes had been touched by frost, which 'caused a loss of fully one-half of- the lot. Adding to the seriousness of the situation, according to Marlon county farmers, is the fact that the potato "I feel just like a new man since began taking Tanlac and 1 am not only willing, but I am anxious to tell other people what this medicine has done for me." said Captain Earnest H. Hill. Portland. Me., recently. Captain Hill is in command of the Ben Hur, plying between Portland and Casco Bay. He has been in tne serv ice for ten years and is held in high regard as an officer and citizen by all who know him. 'I have suffered from indigestion and stomach trouble for the past eight years," continued Captain Hill, and at the time I started taking Tan lac I was in such a weakened condi tion I could hardly stand trp. When I walked I would actually stagger like a drunken man and, at times, would have to hold on to something to keep from falling. After every meal I would simply suffer torment. My food would sour and I would swell up so with gas I could hardly get my breath. "I would also have awful smother ing spells at night and sometimes I would have to get tp to get my breath. Lots of times I would have to open the windows and doors to let in fresh air, or go out into the open air -in order to get my breath. I could not find anything to do me any good and along toward the last I be came so weak and nervous I could not do my work. "Five bottles of Tanlac have made a wonderful change in my condition. It helped me from the very first dose and now I feel as good as I did when I was twenty years old. I sleep fine and have a fine appetite and just feel like a new man in every way. I am now able to be on deck every day ready for duty." Tanlac is sold in Fortland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. acreage for this year will not be as large as last, due to the inclination on the -part of growers to plant their tracts U loganberries and other small fruits and berries. ANTI-ASIATIC MOVE HIT Hood River County Cannot Prevent Land Owning, Say Lawyers. HOOD RIVER, Or., April 11. (Spe cial.) Opinions of attorneys have ex tinguished hopes of members of the Hood River Anti-Asiatic league, who had proposed that an exclusive initia tive law for Hood River county be in voked for preventing Asiatics from owning land in the case of failure of state or national legislation regulat ing the land tenure. While the initiative, as result of an enabling bill enacted by the last legislature, may be invoked for the regulation of officials' salaries, mu nlcipal or special legislation pertain ing particularly to the counties, at torneys declare land tenure of a gen eral nature.
