(The Timp^ Service.* i PARIS, April 6. It is believed that Mr Lloyd George consented to the French occupation of Frankfort', Hanau, and Darmstadt. German Headquarters assert that -only nine battalions were sent into the neutral zone. Ac-cording to M. Marcel Hutin, 50,000 Reichswehr are encamped at Minister ready: to «o-opei*ate with 45,000 already ?oc<mpying the Rufir. " Le Journal says .that-the French advanced under absolute compulsion. The Government honestly .desires to avoid complications.
M. Gustave Herve, writing in La Victoire, states that the advance gives a stern, and well-deserved snub to the insolent -P.russkns. A Dusseldorf niessage states that CJeneral Waiter is advancing on Esson. The Red^ Supreme Council is in Itiding, and the leaders ha\e fled. The food situation is eerious.
