THYSSEN'S RETURN
DUSSELDORF CELEBRATES
ORGANISED DEMONSTRATION.
(Received 27ih January, 9 a.m.)
LONDON, 25th January, The "Daily Mail's" Dusseldorf correspondent says: "When the German-be-comes emotional, he loses all self-control. A mob drifted up and down the main thoroughfares celebrating Thyssen's return, ten thousand angry Germans defying the French. Ofßoers were hustled and cavalry and motors stoned. The French fired in the air, then over the mob, which | dispersed after singing 'Deutschland über Alles,' and shouting curses at the French.
"All State-paid workers downed tools for two hours, when no trains nm, no telephone calls were answered, and no telegrams sent. Forty thousand miners also ceased work. Thyssen himself led the singing of 'Deutschland über Alles' at Bonn station. Everywhere Government agents organised the men and fanned the flame of resentment against the French. One German was wounded when the French fired."
