French Occupation of Ruhr
Not Success So Far as
Exacting Reparations
. Is Concerned.
May Result in Famine
By MARK SULLIVAN.
London, July 18.—Britain says that
the Ruhr occupation, besides being
illegal, is not a success. France says
it could make it a success if Britain
would Join it in forcing Germany
to cease resistance, and that it will
make it a success anyhow if given
time.
As in most nrgume.oS between
present facts and future expectations
present facts have the best of it. And
the present fact is that the Ruhr
^i^rcupatlon most certainly is not a
W? success so far ns exacting reparations
is concerned, and can be regarded as
a success only if by success is meant
bringing about the disruption of Ger
many.
France publishes statistics show
ingan increasing production of goods
in the Ruhr factories, though ad
mitting that the present production is
only about 25 per cent of normal. All
statistics on conditions in Germany
are out of date before they arc com
piled. But you do not need statis
> tics when on a week day forenoon you
look out across iron works ns big
as- those at Bethlehem and see pot
one human being in sight, not one
car or piece of machinery in motion,
nor when you see across the acres of
railroad tracks and switches as big
as those at the Pennsylvania terminal
at Jersey City and not one car in
motion but every track rusty, nod
when you see stalks of wheat three
feet high growing out of a railroad
car that must have stood at one spot
since early spring. Nor when you see
beds of high woods growing between
tracks.
Fuel and Food Famine Looms.
Railroad operation in the Ruhr by
the French is not anything like 25
per cent of normal. A British labor
leader w ho is a practical railroad man
and has examined the Ruhr told me
that it would take 100,000 skilled
French railroad men working steadily
for one year to restore the Ruhr rail
road operation to normal.
__- Ti^ Ruhr occupation is most cer
tainly not a success so far as produc
ing goods for reparations is con
cerned. On the contrary, the real re
sult of the Ruhr occupation Indus
triaJl.v Is paralysis in Germany, over
flowing into Belgium. Holland and
England and promising an acute fuel
and food famine before the winter is
over.
Neither is the Ruhr occupation a
success in other respects. The Brit
ish occupation of the Rhineland is a
uiccesa in the sense that the people
are contented, not resentful. But
the area of the French occupation is
showing Increased resistance, and the
v Icious circle of violence is bringing
on counter violence.
The French army conducts the oc
cupation In a much less skillful spirit

By International -News Service.
Manila, P. I„ July IS.—The sub-sec

protest against wliat they alleged
was undue Interference on the part
of Governor General Wood with the
conduct of their offices, met today

It Is feared however that Man

Governor Wood, will bring pressure
to bear on the sub-secretaries with
a view of having ail Filipino gov

Liverpool. July IS.—The loading of
Atlantic liner* here has been stopped
In view of a serious extension of the
dockers' strike. Several thousand
men quit work after a demonstration
by strikers at Birkenhead, across the
Mersey. All coastal and cross-channel
service also has been stopped.
By AnmsIiuA Cress.
London, July 18,—The development
today in Liverpool of a serious phase
of the dockers' strike, interfering with
transatlantic shipping from that port
and stopping other traffic out of the
Mersey, tame ns a setback to the
hope* of peace held out g-re as the
result of the executive body of the
transport union having decided to
call a conference In London of strik
ers from all the ports Involved. This
call followed preliminary negotiations
at Manchester yesterday.
Tho critical statg of the strike slum
tion was Indicated by the decision of
the London rnrtage companies con
tractors that unless the men returned
to work Immediately sieps must le
taken to safeguard London's food
suptlles. Some price*, particularly
those* for fruit* and vegetables, al
ready are soaring. Lemons have in
creased 1,000 per cent and orange
100 per cent In prices and stocks of
bananas'1 :tre rotting In the holds cf

ever, have been warned that there
is no Justification for increases In tho
retail prices of olh*r commodities
The dock worker* In Bristol, Avon
moil I h and Portishead have rejected
an appeal from the London strikers!
and the union officials there do not
anticipate further trouble. The men
in other ports In the Blrstol channel
are at work.
It Is eatimated that 20 000 men ore
on strike.
The strike, which began In Hull on
June 2, was not authorized by the
union leadeis It was started as a
protest against s reduction In wag'*
of one shilling per day through a

First Lady Game to End
By t'nlversal Service.
Seward, Alaska, July 18.—Presi
dent Harding Is back on the sea
coast today, after a long Journey into
the interior of Alaska, and has de
voted himself to getting a much need
ed rest. He spent most of the morn
ing on board the Henderson, going
over mail brought in by steamer and
accumulated during his six-day ab
sence. In the afternoon he took an
auto ride around Seward, and a fish
ing trip to a nearby stream was also
planned.
Mrs. Harding was content to spend
most of the day on the ship also,
having been greatly fatigued by the
long rail trip from Fairbanks. Delays
on the downward journey caused the
party to reach here at 10:30 Tuesday
night, several hours behind schedule,
and the entire party was glad to re
turn to the decks of the Henderson,
and is looking forward to the cod
tlnuation of the voyage to Seattle
and California.
Mrs. Harding Game.
Although the trip to Fairbanks and
hack proved the supreme test of Mrs.
Harding's strength, she was game to
the limit and. except for the relaxa
tion taken at Fairbanks, went through
the program arranged for the party
at every point along the way. Her
courage and persistence were great
ly admired by the other women in
the party, few of whom could have
stood tt as well as she.
The folly of the Wilson administra
tion in purchasing from the Morgan
and Guggenheim interests the strip
of railway from Seward to Anchor
age as part of the government line to
the Interior, was eloquently illus
trated on the return journey of the
president’s party Tuesday.
The road was purchased for a
fabulous sum by the government and
iiad to he entirely rebuilt and
changed to standard gauge, but the
route was *o difficult that the govern
merit engineers have not yet been
able to overcome all the engineering
difficulties.
Many Sleep Grades.
Steep grades and numerous tunnels
make the traffic .situation difficult
and one of the worst of these is
known here as "the loop.'' where
trains run through thh long tunnel
and cross each other four times he
fore getting down to the r.cw level.
When the president's train arrived at
this point the engine proved unequal
to the task of pulling the six cars In
the train up the grade and through
the tunnel.
Finally it was necessary to cut the
train in two, leaving* the president's
car and two other* standing in the
middle of the trestle, 300 feet above
the rushing stream, while the engine
pulled the first three car* up to the
siding, then going back for Ih> r«
mainder. The president felt decidedly
uncomfortable when he found himself
stranded on the high trestle with the
cars held only by handbrake*.
It wa» nearly an hour before the
first portion of the train v as hu lied
to the level and the oiher three car*,
including the president's, connected!
up for the rest of the journey

given the people of the territory by
Herbert Hoover, secretary of com

“Within the next three months we

a new country so that Alaska will

Secretary Hoover pointed out that
Alaska would not be developed in

"This movement must be ration
wide if it is to benefit the farmer,"
said Ward Burgess at a special meet
ir.g in the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday. “The idea first arose here,
but it has already caught hold in
Chicago, and it should be taken up in
Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Louis
and every other market center.
"If city men who are financially
able will buy some of this wheat and
remove it from the market, the price
ought to go up. I am interested the
same as all merchants and manufac
turers in seeing the farmer succeed
It means everything to the prosperity
of this country to have stronger bu;
ing power on the farm.”
Quick Action Sought.
On his motion the meeting moved
to request the executive committee of
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce to
consider the matter immediately and
formulate a definite plan for a "bur
wheat” campaign. Randall K. Browr
and C. C. George, members of the
executive committee, who were pres
ent, promised prompt action.
One scheme brought forward was
for business men to join In groups of
10 and purchase 1 00m bushels of
wheat, the smallest practical)'*
amount that can be handled on the
exchanges. Each one of these men
thereupon would write to 10 other
business men urging them to do the
same, and the chain letter would be
continued. It was considered that
the best way would tie to buy the
cash grain and store the wheat in an
elevator, taking a warehouse receipt.
Money could then be borrow ed on
ithig receipt, if desired, but the grain
would be kept oft the market.
If the purchase was of futures .
calling for May or December deliv
ery, the option would cost only 10
cents u bushel. W, J. Hines, a gram
dealer and elevator man, declared
that though he believed it would be
beet to tuv cash wheat, any buyi: c
movement would do good, and no oi
w-ould lose any money.
Farmers Face Bankruptcy.
If wheat can b" put back area'
?l i bushel on the farm. :t wii; pro
vent the bankruptcy of agriculture
said Mi. Hines. The next 08 davg
are whui .s known as the stres
movement for wheat. If the mark*'.
can<be held up through this period
after that urae it will be clear ea
irg T:*re are always some farmers
* ho have to ship their wheat as soon
i« it is threshed, and unless the de
n.and * simulated these are foir.:
