Gierman resistance, General Degoutee accinred, had only fortified France in her struggle in the Ruhr. \The object and resolve of Franee's policy In the Ruhr has not changed,\ said General Degouttee. \We entered the Ruhr to compel Germany to honor her obligations, as the Cumin govern- ment had come Into open revolt. Tho struggle on this account has assumed a character we have not desired, and we cannot be held responsible for the outcome. We could not mildly over- look acts of rebellion and open defi- ance, for our security was at stake. However, we have not inolestN1 nor Ill-treated anybody here. \We now have been in the Ruhr for eight weeks and it cannot be denied, I think, by the German leaders that in - tridents between the troops and the in- habitants have been confined to a strict minimum.
