The German government demands the release at this time of all police officers still under arrest in the French area of occupation in a note presented to the French government by the German charge d'affaires at Paris, it was learned here Thursday. Berlin reserves the right to demand full satisfaction for alleged acts of violence in the Ruhr and vigorously protests against such acts. In tbe note the German government gives its version of the occurrences at Gelsenkirchen on February 2, when two French gendarmes and a German The police sergeant were wounded. or enti-cigar- sergeant died later. The note calls attention to the subsequent measures undertaken by tbe French occupational authorities, re. ferring to the Imposition ot a fine of 100,000,000 marks and to the arrest of members of the police force. The communication alleges that the latter step was attended by "brutal excesses" on the part of the French e troops. "The Germnn government," the note continues, "states that the clash with the indivdual officers of the shutzpo-lize- l, caused by French gendarmes, was considered by the French occupational forces as sufficed reason to proceed against the entire city with forceful measures, the severity of which could hardly be exaggerated. Even in case blame had rested with the German officers, the punitive ex. pedition would have been a serious violation of law, as not even In war do acts of individuals permit the Imposition of penalties upon the entire population. "The French government apparently approves the action of the local commanders, as these, without restraint, are continuing the maltreatment of the city." Dry Officers Join In Hunt Los Angeles.
