ON GERMANS DENIED
PARIS, June 5. (Special.) Love
letters found on the French black
soldiers in the Iihineland, bouquets of
flowers brought by German women
folk at Mainz and Woerms, when the
nesro battalions were about to be
relieved by white troops and rein
forced guards posted at the barrack3
gates in Frankfort to keep off the
German girls who flocked thither to
have a peep at the dusky Senegalese
these were among the hints given
Friday by a high Quai d'Orsay offi
cial to show that the presence of
black troops in the French zone of
occupation on the Iihine has not in
terfered with the normal life of the
population there to the extent indi
cated by the German government.
French officialdom is gradually
awakening to the danger of a pos
sible revolution of feeling against
France in America and neutral
countries as a result of the sustafned
propaganda cammign to the eftect
that daily atrocities are being 'com
mitted by the black troops in the
Saar valley and throughout the
Mecnz bridgehead zone.
Reports Meld RJdlcnlonx.
"When in a recent Reichstag speech
the German, foreign minister declared
that there were still 65,000 French
black troops in the occupied region,
the French officials' denial received
but scant notice in the French press
because as the foreign office be
lieves, Germany's attempts to make
herself out a terrorized and martyred
country are regarded in France as
ridiculous. Th3re never were more
than 23.000 black troops in the
French zone. The number is now
reduced to 16,000, the correspondent
was officially assured, counting
white officers and white non-commissioned
officers.
While the Germans have already
laid hundreds of charges of assault
on white women at the door of the
black soldiers, French military au
thorities have so far found only 13
authentic instances of mistreatment
and nono of complaints investigated
have come from the local population.
Two of 13 black soldiers tried by
French court-martial have been ac
quitted, whije 11 have been severely
punished.
Eleven Blacks Convicted.
The 13 authenticated cases of at
tacks on white women by negro
troops during 18 months, are a total
which might have occurred under
ordinary circumstances, French offi
cials think. Besides the hope of
winning the sympathy of neutral
countries and America, there are
reasons of internal politics, it is held
here, which actuate the Germans in
continuing the crusade against the
phantom danger of the black troops
in the moral eecurity of white
women.
, It is feared in Berlin, according to
" foreign official Information, that un
less the German government dis
plays a deeper interest in the popu
lation of the French occupied zone,
the Rheinish Spartan movement will
develop into, a tangible peril to
Fi'ussianism.
Portland Petroleum Users to Meet
Tomorrow to Discuss Exig
encies of Situation. '-
Within a week fuel oil users in
Portland will probably determine if
they will hazard a chance? on the ex
pected fuel oil shortage next fall or
play safe by converting oil burners
into coal or wood burners.
As yet, so far as is known, no fuel
oil users have determined what is to
be done. Some buildings equipped
with heating plants operated by fuel
oil burners will be handicaped se
riously by being shut off from the
normal supply of petroleum, but a
great .many of the downtown build
ings are supplied with setam fur
nished by the Northwestern Electric
company. This company, incidentally,
uses fuel oil. but officials are not
worried for the present, as all essen
tial industries and public utilities have
been assured of an adequate supply of
fuel oil. this fall.
Apartment houses in Portland using
oil are almost certain to be hit by the
lack of fuel oil. but in the majority
of cases apartment houses are
equipped to use wood or coal, and
conversion from oil can be accom
plished easily.
A meeting of building owners and
fuel users has been called tomorrow
afternoon in the green room of the
Chamber of Commerce to discuss what
shall be done.
