STORM OF PROTEST
AGAINST FRENCH WARRANT. .United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). * BERLIN, January 0. There has been a storm of protest throughout Germany at the issue of a warrant at Metz, demanding a £120.345 fine and law costs against Dr Roechling, industrial magnate. The Saarbrucken French Military Court in 1919 condemned Dr Roechling to ten years penalty of banishment from the Saar and a fine of ten million francs, on the ground of his exploitation of French mines in German occupied territory. Later the Franco-German Governments by a special agreement quashed the conviction, but tlie French did not abandon the claim to the fine which they are now demanding, with interest. Dr Roechling protests that the demand is characteristic of the French. “They talk of peace and keep up the greatest army in Europe. They sign the Kellogg Pact and spend millions in armaments.”
