WHEN FRENCH ‘LISTEN TO REASON' U. S. IS READY TO AID

American Policy Is Now One o f Watchful Waiting Until Invasion of Ruhr Has Either Proven a Success or Failure —Action Is Fraught With Danger, By FRANK J. TAYLOR Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.—Whenever the French government will listen to reason” on reparations, the American government is ready to step in as mediary to end the French invasion of GermanyJust as much as the United States could 'do, without actually suspending relations, has been done to avert the Franco-German crisis and seizure of the Ruhr valley, the President and his Cabinet advisers feel. v Though from now the American policy will be one of watchful

‘VILIGANCE’ RULE CONTROLS 1,1 PEOPLE BY FORCE; Arkansas ‘Citizens Com-! mittee’ Uses Arms, Lash and’Rope, Bu United Tress MEMPHIS, Tenn., .Tan. 20.—The I “citizens’ committee” at Harrison, Ark., has controlled 200,000 people with an iron hand for nearly a week, according to a staff correspondent of the Memphif Press, who reached ' Springfield, Mo., today. "Rifles, shotguns, pistols, the lash and the hangman's noose have backed up the edicts of the citizens’ committee which-has established a soviet in Harrison, although nine of its twelve members are from other towns and counties.” according to the Press correspondent. “'Piie work of the committee, summarized, is this: “Rail striker hanged because he repelled the invasion of his home. “Members of the ’committee’ ad- j mitted thirty men have been tied upj and lashed "At least 500 men and women have been told o ‘light out for the hills,’ and have been sent out of their valley to find shelter. The nearest neutral spot is Bransort. just across the Mississippi line, forty miles through the mountains. “The home of practically every striker along the 150 miles of the Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad have been entered and searched for evidence of depredations against the j railroad.” Declaring an organization was per-j fected a year ago to stamp opposition ' to the railroad “which has been prac-} tieally crippled since June. 1921. when every union man walked out rather j j Ml t account says: BROUN ORDERED TO SUPPORT WiFE Fred H.

The judge said he thought S6S | for the rent and SIOO for other expenses. as there are no children, would be ample to support her until the trial in March. Bruhn filed his suit two days after; their separation in December. In his complaint he charges that Mrs. Bruhn “nagged, abused and cursed” him. said she “hated him” and that she made “life a burden.” WO AND MOUNT WIN CONVICTIONS Two convictions in four blind tiger eases in Criminal Court today were obtained on evidence furnished by IyOtiis Wien and John Mount, special Federal prohibition officers. John Smith, R. R. K., Box 264. was fined SIOO and costs, and John H. Riley, R. R. M. box 273. was fined a like amount and sentenced to thirty days In jail. Wien and Mount were transferred to Pittsburgh by Washington piohihitlon authorities early in the week after Sant Koby, saloon keeper, is said to have made an affidavit charging Wien with selling him liquor, which Wien vigorously denied. The transfer was suspended until Wien and Mount complete their work in pending liquor cases, when Prosecutor William P. Evan© protested in their behalf to Washington.

waiting until France has either succeeded or failed in collecting by force from Germany. American officials are not at rest. They look upon the Ruhr invasion as fraught with utmost danger for the world. However,, the United States will not attempt mediation unless the French acknowledge a willingness to accept a reparation sum which Germany can actually pay. Before the Ruhr Invasion, American experts said Germany could possibly pay a sum approximating 112,000,000.000. British and German economists concurred in this. Now. however, serious doubt exists here as to the abilitly of the Germans to their production sufficiently to pay even $12,000,000,000. The longer the French occupy the Ruhr, the less the Germans can pay eventually, American experts say. Ruhr Is Source of Wealth The explanation of this lies in reports from the Ruhr, which indicate that the most delicate and intricate industrial and economic organism In the-world, the Ruhr industrial district, has been out of gear by the French invasion. The Ruhr is Germany’s greatest source of wealth, being hotcenter of aroduetion. arid the principal source of wealth with which to pay reparations. Commerce between the Ruhr and the rest of Germany has stopped, reports show. Officials here fear for the plight of the dense population of the Ruhr district, which produces but onetenlh of the food needed for inhabitants of the region. But one week's i supply of food existed in the Ruhr j when the French entered. Unless the ; French are able to feed the population, intense suffering will result, the American Government fears. Germany as a whole is estimated to be more than 100,000,000 tons of food Bhort this year. Entry of the French armies into Germany was signal for immediate cancellation of practically all orders for supplies j from abroad to Germany. Department ; of Commerce reports show. Business ; in Germany is at a standstill. On > the other hand, American firms find j themselves with many orders for I goods formerly supplied by Germany, particularly in South American coun tries. Italy May Break This Government looks for the l Italian government to break away from the French on the policy of forcibly collecting from Germany. Italy is already disappointed in the results, advices reaching American officials indicate. Withdrawal by Italy from the Franco-Belgo Italian combination against Germany might cause the French to modify their policy. MEN PRODUCTS MERGER FORMED Consolidation of the Sanitate Milk Products Company and the Banquet Ice Cream Company was announced by officials of the two firms today. The combined business will be conducted at the plant of the Sanitary plant. 1214 Southeastern Ave. The new company will be known as the Sanitary Milk Products Company. Increase In capital stock of the Sanitary Milk Products Company from $75,000 to $150,000 in the near future is contemplated, officials said Officers of the Sanitary Milk Prod ducts Company are William Rathert. president: R. T. Millls, general manager: L. S. Graham, vice president and treasurer; E. J. Thielke, superintendent. and Frank Royer, sales manager. Plans for extension of business was announced. DITHMER ELECTED TO PEOPLES BANK BOARD Henry L. Dithmer, president of the Polar Ice and Fuel Company, was elected a director of the Peoples State Bank at the annual stockholders' meeting Friday, it was announced today. He was elected after Emsley W. Johnson had submitted his resignation as a member of the board because of his connection with several other Indianapolis banking institutions. Johnson had been a member of the directorate for many years The stockholders made no change in the personnel of the bank’s officers. Felix M. McWhlrter was reelected president: Albert J. Hueber, vice president; Clarence R. Weavr, vie president and trust officer, and Neal Grider, cashier. STUTZ GETS BIG ORDER The Stutz Motor Fire Engine Com I>any today received a contract for seventeen pieces of fire apparatus for the city of Seattle, Wash. The apparatus will completely motorize the fire department in Seattle. Raltimore and Kansas City also have placed contracts with the Stutz Company during the past week. The three contracts call for twenty-two pieces of apparatus. AUDITOR DISALLOWS BILL A bill for $23.10 for liquid soap, paper cups and cup retainer recently bought for use in Superior Court, room 1. was disallowed today by Leo K. Fesler, county auditor. Fesler said the county had a contract with a toilet supply company for such articled. County Commissioners Albert Hoffman and John Kitley agreed with the audito-'s action. The supplies were ordered by Judge James M. Leathers.

Brown has introduced a bill in the Indiana House providing for a tax of five cents a package on cigarettes. He doesn't like any kind of tobacco, but he Is particularly opposed to cigarettes. Brown is a bricklayer by trade and declares he can lay more bricks in a day than either of his sons, who also are bricklayers.

She spent Hr# night before the murder in a cottage at l.ajolla with a “pale movie actor,” according to evidence gathered by authorities. Some time during the night Miss Mann lapsed into unconsciousness and the actor, believing her dead, carried her to the cliff and hurled her into the surf to hide a compromising situation. officials asserted.

These guard members gathered closely around city officials when I, as mayor, forbade the klan to parade, and these guardsmen openly showed by their actions and talk that in event of city officially attempting arrest they —the guardsmen—would take the part of the klan. "That officers of the guard met and conversed with klansmen leading the parade a portion of the way and that members of the guard marched along side the klansmen as though to protect them.” McCray Non-Conimitlal “1 am busy now with the State budget and I have not had time to give consideration to the letter,” the Governor Raid. “I do not know whether I will do anything about it.” Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith, head of the National Guard, was inclined to minimize the charges. “Os course. I shall be glad to go to Portland to investigate, If the Governor wishes,” General Smith said. “Members of the guard have a right to belong to the Ku-Klux Klan or any other organization. So long ns they do not appear in uniform or un dor the command of their officers, the State has no right to interfere.' General Smith intimated this is not the first charge of klan activities on the part of the guard he has received. He said he had reports from another city that the klan was holding meetings in an armory, but had found this to be untrue. HIGH POWERED HOOTCH Quart of liquid Defies Efforts at Classification.

EIGHT PERISH IN TENEMENT FIRE

ftp United Tress LAWRENCE, Mass,, Jan. 20. Eight persons perished in a tenement house fire here early today. Two were injured, one seriously. The flames swept through a three-and-a-half-story tenement- on Elm St. The dead are: Mrs. Angelo DeGloria and her four children, Rose, 10; Joseph, 8; Angeline, 7, and Mary, 3. Isaac Reysha, 70. Romano Reysha, 25. Mrs. Mary S. Ivalid, 55. The injured are: Angelo DeGloria, broken back, and Joseph Garvey, fireman, broken wrist. Mrs. DeGloria was carried to safety by firemen but eluded her rescuers and plunged back into the burning building to save her children. She apparently found the little ones

MORE ON LLOYD GEORGE'S VIEWS (Continued From Page 1) to adapt liis budget to a currency which, while he is sitting down to pen his proposals, has disappeared beyond the horizon before he has risen from his desk. If the mere threat of force lias produced such a panic, what will he the effect of the actual measures? It is safe to predict j that the advance of French troops into Germany won’t restore the composure of the frightened mark and arrest its flight. What. then, becomes of the hope of renewed payments ot the annuity? At best Germany could only be expected to pay when her foreign trade was so improved that she could provide a margin out of her exports to pay her annuities. Her foreign trade is largely dependent on her foreign exchanges. These are now destroyed beyond prospect of recovery for years. Britain proposed a voluntary moratorium for a short term of years in order to place Germany in a position where she could at the end of that term pay a reasonable annuity. The French government has in effect substituted a compulsory moratorium for an indefinite period with no prospect of payment in sight. * The only chance of securing an early installment of reparation payments was by pressing Germany to put her finances in order and giving her fair time in which to do so. The only , tmnee of negotiating a loun on German security to assist France to pay for the repair of her devastated provinces and enable her to put her finances in order was by restoring the stability of German currency. FRENCH STATEMEN DELIBERATELY HAVE THROWN AWAY BOTH OPPORTUNITIES. French statesmen have deliberately thrown both these chances away. The effect on the value of their own currency must be grave, and Frenchmen will have to pay an increased cosf of living for the venture dictated by shortsighted and short-tempered statesmanship* When nnc thinks of the consequences one is driven to ask whether Frenclvpolitieians are really seeking reparations or arc pursuing another purpose quite incompatible with the recovery of money payments under the treaty. This is the wrong road toward reparations. It leads in exactly the opposite direction. Whither, then, does it lead? There is no doubt its effect will be ruinous so far as German industry is concerned. I have already dealt with its disastrous influence on German currency and with the indirect effect of a rapidly depreciating currency upon German foreign trade. Seizure of the Ruhr mines will have another serious effect. Even now the result of the compulsory alienation of so much of Germany’s coni supply in the Ruhr, in Silesia and the Saar from German industry is diminished German productiveness. The fuel I deficiency thereby created inside Germany has beer partially sup ; plied by purchases of coal from outside sources. The necessity for providing gold to pay for foreign coal has added considerably to Germany’s financial difficulties. WILL GERMAN MINERS WORK REGULARLY AND EFFICIENTLY FOR FOREIGN MASTER? A still larger foreign purchase will he the inevitable result of forcible diversion of large quantities of Ruhr coal to France and Italy, with further financial embarrassments as a consequence. That is bad enough. But I fear worse. Will the German miner work with the same regularity and efficiency for a foreign master as he does for a German emp’oyer? Is there the ; least possibility of the production djging maintained at its present level? 'l’he influence of this added muddle on world trade is inealeu- j able. Nobody gains; everybody is a loser by the move. ITow is a j Germany whose embarrassed finances are made still more involved! —how is a Germany whose industry becomes more and more | difficult—how is a Germany reduced to despair to he of the sligut j est use to France, Belgium. Italy or anybody else? The feather-headed scribes who have advocated this rash. ! policy assume France will he helped because Germany will thus j be reduced to impotence. For how long? DISINTEGRATION OF GERMANY IS NOT AN UNLIKELY CONSEQUENCE OF THIS MOVE. I know that it is the expectation. Frenchmen still hamker after the days when the Saxons and Bavarians and Wurtemburgers were allies and almost vassals of France against Prussia. THAT WAS THE LURE THAT LED THE THIRD NAPOLEON TO HIS RUIN. IT IS THE ATTRACTION WHICH IS NOW DRAWING FRANCE ONCE MORE TOWARD A SURE DOOM. HOPELESS TASK TO ATTEMPT RECOVERY OF REPARATIONS FROM DIVIDED STATES The policy will bring no security to France in the future, j It deprives her of all hope of reparations in the immediate present. j There will he no longer a German to pay. It would be too hopeless a task to attempt recovery from each of the severed states. BUT WHAT OF THE INCREASED SECURITY? NOTHING CAN KEEP GERMANS PERMANENTLY APART. THEY WILL AT THE SUITABLE MOMENT REUNITE UNDER MORE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS, FREED FROM EXTERNAL ao WELL AS INTERNAL DEBT. FRANCE WILL HAVE LOST HER REPARATIONS AND ONLY RETAINED THE HATRED OF AN IMPLACABLE FOE WHO HAS BECOME MORE REDOUBTABLE THAN EVER. How would Europe have fared in the interval whilst France was learning ftorn events what every other courfky can see now?*

and attempted to lead them to safety but became lost In the smoke-filled halls. Firemen later found her body with those of the children grouped about her. DeGloria, trapped on the third floor, leaped from the window. He landed on his back and was rushed to the hospital in a dying condition. Snow delayed the arrival of the fire department and the building was h mass of flames when it arrived. The blaze started in a coffee house on the ground floor, cutting off all avenues of escape. Fifty persons were in the burning tenement. Many of them were crouched in corners awaiting death •when the firemen rescuers arrived. They were led to safety through the smoked-filled halls.

MAN AND WOIYIAN HELD WHEN WIFE MAKES ENTRANCE Philadelphians Involved in Love Triangle in Court Here. "I would marry him tomorrow if he were divorced.” declared pretty Mrs. Gretcften Rapp, 25, of Philadelphia today as she walked into the city court roefm. “but what to I want of a married man?” Mrs. Rapp was arrested in company with Thomas ,R. Blcnsinger, 28, a business man of Philadelphia, at it p. m., Friday. Both were fined sls and costs in city court on the statutory charge. The additional charges of contributing to child neglect will be placed against Mrs. Rapp, and child neglect against Blensinger in juvepile court, authorities said. However, no affidavits had been filed. Mrs. Rapp was released on S2OO bond signed by Walter Reefer, known as a professional bondsman, who also stayed her tine. The police of this city started to assist Mrs. Blensinger to unravel the love tangle last night when Motorcycle Policeman P. A. Taylor was called to the Great Eastern Hotel on a report of a disturbance. Mrs. Blensinger had discovered her husband and Mrs. Rapp In a room at the hotel, police said. Will Not Make Up Mrs. Blensinger today declared she would not return to her husband. The love affair started In Philadelphia eight months ago, she said. Mrs. Blensinger s father is a wealthy man and is in the transfer business in a suburb of Philadelphia. Blensinger was associated in business with him. While on a business trip Blensinger came to Indianapolis two months ago and met Mrs. Rapp, who had preceded him to this city, police said they were told. The couple, it is alleged, lived at a rooming house at 1021 E. .Market St., for two months. Blensinger received a telegram from his wife Sunday informing him that ahe was coming to Indianapolis, It Is said. He met her at the Union Station, police said. When he again met Mrs. Rapp she followed them to the hotel, police said, which resulted in the arrest of Mrs, Rapp and Blensinger. Pair Have Quarrel The police said they were told that on Thursday there was a quarrel between Mrs. Rapp and Blensinger that ended In a fight, but that they made up. Mrs. Rapp appeared to be familiar v.-ith prominent men In Indianapolis. She spoke of i gift of a book she had leceived from an ex-judge at a society event three years ago. She said siie married when very young and that, her husband was 27 years oldt r than herself. The marriage was an unhappy one and she separated from him, although he furnished her a liberal sum of money on which to five, t he said. She believed that he recently obtained a divorce but said that she was not sure Motorcycleman Taylor said that he was told that Mrs. Blensinger came to Indianapolis Friday night "In an

There is no knowing ’.vhat avi 11 happen when a brave people ol . sixty millions find themselves faced with utter ruin. Whether* they turn to the left or to the right will depend on questions of personal leadership which are not yet determined. All A\e can he sure of is that they can hardly go on as they are. maintaining an honest struggle for ordered freedom and democratic selfgovernment. The French proclamation with its threat of “severest measures in ease of reealeictrance” is ominous of much that may happen. No people accustomed to national independence have ever been able Ion" to tolerate a foreign yoke. Chancellor Cuno’s action is the first manifestation of the spirit of revolt. It will certainly grow in intensity. The lash k will then fall sooner or later and Germany ’will inevitably be driven to desperate courses. A communist Germany would infect Europe. European vitality is so lowered and exhausted that it is in no condition to resist the plague. Would a reactionary Germany be much better—brooding and scheming vengeance? Uussia, with her inonlulable resources of men and material, j is at hand, needing all that, Germany can best give and best spare, j The Bolshevik leaders only require what Germany is so well fitted j to supply in order to reorganize their country and convert it into j the most formidable state in Europe or Asia, Nations hard pressed on thp East have in the past moved j forward irresistibly to the West. In obedience to the same law. a people hard pressed on the West will look to the East. When French troops marched on Essen they began a movement the most far-reaching and probaby most sinister in its consequences that has been witnessed for many centuries in! Europe. And Ihese are the people who, after fifty years of patient j and laborious waiting, have demonstrated to the world in THIS the stupidity of abusing victory in 1871. If the teacher so soon forgets his own special lessen, the pupil; is not likely to remember when fury overcomes terror.
