K FRENCH READY TO COPE WITH Predicted Communist Dem onstration in Ruhr Today Wilt Be Kept Under Con trol By Soldiers DEFIANCE TO ORDERS TO-MEET RESISTANCE Conservative - German Ele ment, to Cooperate in -Keeping AAith Policy DUSSELDORF. July 28. (By the Associated Press ) French troops and the moderate German element in the Kuhr are ready, for the "predicted -communist demon. stration tomorrow and little fear Is " felt t that : disorders will .'occur or that the situation will get out of hand. ' . ,The : demonstrations, neverthe less, have. been widely announced by the- German press, causing the circulation of . warring rumors and the gathering . of street ' corner crowds. ' " , . ' The. communist papers for. days have been advertising throughout the occupied territory ' for . the workers Co meet, . principally in Bochum, for mass demonstration, but It is believed' the manifesto will generally be Ignored. Unexpected May Occur This opinion; however, partially among the'. Germane, i is tempered by "the arfhaJeiojla ulliy slide of the market, -with its. sky rocketing of prices, may have paved - the -way for anything to happen, especially if the (ommon: ists and 'the extreme nationalists can get an opportunity to express their opinions .with . strong weap ons. . The Freneh troops it waaetat- ed, are fully prepared - to cope with any situation that might be created . by .defiance of i the anti demonstration order, and It is con sidered certain that the . better elements of the .German people will cooperate . with : the order. This desire for. order by. both the French and. the eonservati re Ger mans Is due to different feelings. The, French . fear, that' if real trou ble is allowed to develop, the sit uation .might tend,- to compromise the . German's .improved attitude towards the , occupying forces which the French believe has im proved greatly. , T The French ; cite , the daily In crease in the number of German passengers o.h French . trains . and the almost complete cessation of sabotage. -i - The German attitude, however. is that if real trouble arose through . initiative no matter .how much--condemned by the better elements.-; the French ' and' Bel gians might seize upon it as -warranting the closing pf the Ruhr frontier - again and Imposing fur ther penalties,, thus hindering the German .program of passive re sistance. . " ' . Leading , Germans contend 'that the cessation of sabotage and the patronage of the French trains are nd indication that passive re sistance - is . breaking down, : but rather signs that resistance now is really becoming passive, for the first time, just as they intended It should 'be. They sav-that they have always, been the-Xirst to con demn sabotage, because it was really active resistance. Printers of Willamette Valley Cavort on ;Picnic SILVERTOX, Or., July 28.
