Times Correspondent Declares Invaders Are Careful to Re- , t spect Rights and Liberties of Ruhr Inhabitants —Attitude Is Indifferent, By WEBB MILLER (Copyriuht, 1923, by I nited Press) DUSSELDORF, March 1. —Despite a stream of stories regarding the “brutality” of the occupation, stories emitted uninterruptedly by Derman propaganda bureaus which invariably are found to be exaggerated, a trip to the Ruhr towns quickly demonstrates that tiie occupation has so far weighed very lightly on the population, as occupations go. One of the remarkable features of this French venture is the carefulness oi the troops with respect to the rights and liberties

of the Inhabitants, with which, as far j as possible, they avoid interfering. in general, the attitude of troops toward inhabitants, and vice versa, is one of studied haughty indifference, each ostentatiously ignoring the oilier. I watched a column of French troops march through the heart of Essen at noon time, when the streets were crowded. The soldiers miuehed with businesslike mein, looking ! straight ahead, paying not the slight- j est attention to the people on th© ! sidewalks. On their part, tho Ger i mans carefully ignored the presence of the marching column, or stared j idly as they continued on their way.} Scores of Germans turned away and j looked fixedly in tho other direction. Children, however, swarm©d about 11,*■ heels of the troops as though the eol 1 until were a circus parade. At , aeh , halt a laughing group would play tag in and out among the resting pnilus : and scramble unafraid ov©r the ma chine gun carts. I understand the troop*- have flat orders to make the occupation as' agreeable as possible to the people. Aside from reasons of humanity, there are other reasons for this forebear anee. First, one of the main objects of the French and Belgians Is to win th© good will of the inhabitants in th© hope they will cooperate and work the mines and factories. Success of the occupation j largely depends upon this factor. Second, consideration of the power of world public opinion Inclines the inv iders to leniency. So far, except in instances where’ there has been direct resistance when troop*, have been forced to retaliate, the occupation has been carried out with 1, ss trouble than could have been fore seen. Contrast between tills occupation and that of French towns by Germans during war time is so striking that th© French have been urged to ! post copies of the German general I staff’s orders imposed upon the occupied regions In the World War and let the Inhabitants themselves make the couiP rlson.
