LITTLE HOPE FOR ALLIED SETTLEMENT French Would Assume Ab- solute Control of Rhine- land Section Now Occu- pied by Them. By the Associated Press. PARIS, Nov. 28.—-A plan for di- rect action by France as a solution of the reparations question was submit- ted today to the full Cabinet, mevet- ing in the Elysee Palace, with Presi- dent Millerand presiding. shal Foch, and the Ministers of Fi- nance, War and Liberated Regions Occupation Expansion Plan. Marshal Foch and Major-General Buat, the French chief of staff, are understood to have told President Millerand and Premier Poincare at yesterday's meeting that a plan for expanding the military vuccupation of the right bank of the Rhine had peen prepared and could be executed within 24 hours. Tirard, the French High Com- missioner for the Rhineland, in dis- cussing his part in any necessary action, said that civil administration of the territory occupied by France on the left bank of the Rhine could be immediately taken over by com- petent French authorities. Couldn’t Act Till Jan. 15. This program would be applicable only after Jan. 15, for Germany now has a moratorium until the end of December and the first payment under the existing scheme of repa- rations, now in suspension, would v0@ due in the middle of January. Ger- many’s failure to meet this payment would, in the opinion of the French, automatically give them the right to act. France now is ready “to go it alone,’ acting on the theory that if she ever expects to get anything from Germany she must, as the French newspapers say, hit Germany hard in the Ruhr, her most vulner- able spot. This is specifically stated in apparently inspired reports of yesterday’s Elysee meeting given only to French newpapers. In these articles it is explained that action in the Ruhr would be designed to strike the hardest blow at the “inter- ests of the great heads of German mining and metal industries” as well as to obtain for France the full quota of reparation coal and coke which she needs for the full devel- opment of Lorraine iron industries. Complete control of the French sector of the Rhineland would ac- complish the much desired expulsion of German officials, many of whom, the French’ believe, are Prussians recently come into the region with jacter as to war GOUNARIS., - oa CHILD'S VISIT T0 CITY AN EVENTFUL ATFAIR search of Union Station. Three dollars given her by her mother, when she left Cape Girar- deau, to pay taxicab fare to the sup- posed address of her brother, 1328 Hughes place, had dwindled to 25 cents, due to purchases on the train. She decided to wait until morning and go out on the “Main street” and find him. It is her first visit to the city. A policeman found her curled up on a station bench at 3\a. m. and took her to the matron at Central Headquarters. Investigation showed “Alfy’” had moved, but he was found at another address this morning and went after her. While waiting Emily.said an- other brother, Jimmie, iived at the “blind school” ana if the police could not find “Alfy,” she would step out and find Jimmy. Before her brother arrived Emily wrote a long letter home, telling her mother, Mrs. J. R. Taylor, that she was having a wonderful visit, and had “met 12 big policeman—a nice man who bought her candy and took her ona street car ride to the police station.’ Escorted to the stsition door | by half the force at Central Headquart- ers, Emily departed with “Alfy’”’ to visit Jimmie, with the next. stop scheduled for a picture show.
