Jan. 19—(Special to Demo crat)—French in the Ruhr seized mines, banks, trains, coal barges, automobiles and taxi offices, in simul taneous raids in all parts of the Ruin valley today. Many arrests were made. Mines of Zewickel Gladbeck and Reickinghausen were occupied and the German miners, defiant, were debating tonight whether they should strike. German Red Cross cars en routt from Southbur to Northbur were con fiscated by the invading troops. Ten train dispatchers were placed under arrest as long fuel trains were seized and headed westward. % rummage sale Attention is directed to the ruirf niage«eale which will be held in the basement of the M.

Can France Force Germany To Pay? The sudden withdrawal of the last thousand of the American soldiers from the Rhine is interpreted by many Washington correspondents and editorial observers as an emphatic protest on the part of the United States Government against France’s invasion ot the Ruhr Basin and seizure of “productive guaranties’’ for the payment of Germany's reparations debt. This attitude .on the part of official Washington, it is generally agreed, is due neither to sympathy for Germany nor lack of it for France, but to a conviction that the seizure of guaranties will not solve the reparations problem, and that it opens the door to a host of di&strous possibilities, chief among which is another world war. Many American papers, on the other hand, whole-heartedly applaud Frances or resorting to a show of force, “the only language that Germany understands’’; and they predict that her course will be fully justified by the results. The German-language press in the United States is pessimistic. “In taking from Germany her richest industrial district the French will deprive themselves of the last chance to get any further reparations,’’ declares the Philadelphia Tageblatt, which thinks that the results of the Ruhr invasion will amount to “French suicide as well -as unspeakable misery and chaos for Germany, and possibly civil war in the Reich.” Other German-language papers express similar convictions. IHE LITERARY DIGEST this week, January 20th, presents a sweeping survey of the criticism frorp all quarters upon the present acute situation involving France and Germany and, in fact, the entire world.
