THE RESPONSIBILITY
allies cannot share it. . . . BRITISH SOLDIERS WILL NOT BE POLICE. . (Received April 9, 10.15 p.m.) LONDON, April 8. Prance doubtless acted bona, fida, the message adds, but the immediate result is that the responsibility for her action cannot bo shared by the Allies ns u whole. Certainly, there is no intention on the part of the British Government to allow British to act as police between hostile German factions. . The view taken in London is that our army of occupation is on the Rhine for a totally different purpose. If, and when, the French suspicion of ulterior German motives, and a deliberate flaunting of the terms of the Peace Treaty become accomplished facts, the situation would instantly change, and the Allies doubtless would ho prepared to act vigorously and concertedly, but, for the time being, it may bo taken that no British soldier will participate in the occupation of German citice in the neutral zone.
