CENTRETREVFGERMANY'SINDUSTRIAL LIFE
A. despatch from i,ssen 'says:—Two
.battalions of eoiored'troops are in the
'fret detachment the French sent into
Essen, The troops began moving
about five o'clock Thursday morning,
and at ten the First Cavalry entered
the town, They rode carefully through
the, streets scrutinizing the windows
with their drawn curtains and the few
persons who were abroad. It was
like a real, war -time -occupation, when
the: cavalry goes ahead to seek out
sharpshooters, before .the main body
arrives.
The cavalry was followed by five,
more columns of cavalry, two bat-
talions of Moroccan infantry, three
batteries of light artillery and 12
tanks, The French placed machine.
guns at the street corners and sent
out ' patrols. At noon, General Henry,
commander of the Ruhr, took up' his
headquarters in the Hotel Kaiserhof,
andhalf an hour later -the military
officialo visited the city" officials and.
tefficial'ly informed them of stile occu-
pation of the city. - The French re-
,queeted ` billets for ten thousand
troops.
The, railroad station was occupied
later as the troops arrived by road.
Most of them are bivouacked around
the city, which is encircled. It'" is
known that many of the itroops - aro to.
be sent to, Berehum, Hugo Stinnes'
etronghoid, and it is'.presumed that
the entire Ruhr region, to Dortmund
and the outermost .cowl mining region
will be occupied. Belgian troops are
occupying some of the Essen suburbs..
The French troops disappeared off
the streets at nightfall, a few hundred
of th&m remaining in the city in their
billets, or at the telegraph offices; post
office, city hall, or railroad depots.
Those visible at the past office excited
more curiosity: than resentment,
A later -despatch from Essen says:—
The
ays:The French military authorities here
have laid their plans for the exploita-
tion of the`ooal industry of the district
before both manufacturers and work-
ers. It has become apparent to the
French :that the task which they have.
undertaken is not going to be in any
way an easy one. From manufaotur-
era• and officials they will have to
count on a kind of passive resistance,
and from the workers they will have
to expect demands far in excess of
what would have been made on Ger-
man employers. The plan of Opera-
tion which they have drawn up is as
complete tie any that could probably
Abe ni:acle in the eircum'stances, but on
the final analysis it depends on an
alternative of good -will 'ancl co -opera
tion or the employment of penalties,
the possibilities ofarrest and, indi-
vidual fines,
In the pian so 'far arranged there
is no provision for ihe collection of
any cash payments, and it is obvious
that with the removal of the coal
syndicate from the district the possi-
bility •of collecting a 20 per cent. coal
tax has bean abandoned until further
sanctions are applied, subsequent to
the Reparations Comm'ission's decision
with regard to a nioraitoeium and the
setting up of a ,customs' barrier.
In ;brief, the French have simply
assumed the task of distributing the
coal oaibput end in their schedule they
are putting reparations deliveries as
the first claim. The second body to
be ;served will be the right bank of
the. Rlhine, :then unoccupied Germany,
and, lastly, those other customers who
formerly 'obtained supplies from the
Ruhr.
Paris, Jan. 14.—It is understood
here that Bochum and its coalcfields,
lying east of Essen, will be occupied
by French troops for the purpose of
giving the allies control of a mush
greater .part of the Ruhr . coal basin
in -order to collect the German Gov-
ernment tax of 40 per tent. It is pro-
posed that,, with this money, pins 'a
similar amount due_ on -German taxes
on all coal burned in' the Ruhr, the
Allied Commission shall' pay for:deldv-
eries of .coal to the allies under the
Versailles Treaty provisions, since
Berlin has announced: it will no longer
make payments.
It is expected, if it proves neces-
sary, that 'the allies will put .a new
paper mark into circulation, -.its value
to 'be guaranteed by the collections it
le believedernay be made in the Ruhr
district. ,
The district' now held by the French
and . Belgians, producing , 26,000,000
tons,iofeoalaecvi ld not supply the allied
quota of 19,000,000 tons and leave suf-
fidesat for .the Rishr industries -ill the
occupied zone, which consume' at the
rate ,of 20,000:000 tins annually. But,
since the fields which would be em-
braced by the extension of occupation
produce 70,000,000 tons, the Preach
figure controrof them would Solve the
problem. Of course, the Germans out-
side of the occupied distriet'might re-
fuse to pay for coal and: thus not pay
the tax, but the French calculate their
patriotism will not go so fax.
BELGIAN OPINION
DIVIDED ON RUHR
Controversy May End in Fall
of Coalition and Change of
Policy.
Manchester, Jan. 14, -There are
some sigma outside Parliament that
the country is not behind the Gov'e'rn-
merit's policy of supporting Franee in
the Ruhr, `says the Guardian's corns -
pendent at Bruasebe, So fat, however,
there has been no eonvincirtg sign of
disapproval in Parliament.
The extreme organs of Flemish
opinion and the Biasseia 'Standard
organ of the Powerful Catholic Flem-
ish Union are decidedly hostile to oc-
cupation of the Ruhr,.
f e controversy may yet lead•to the
of the present Liberal-Oatholic
Coalition, and possible withdrawal
from the French side,

nut down that measures three feat in
diameter at the base. The swamp be-
longs' to Mr. P: Berrigan, who has
recently sold its trees to Mr. I. J.

1'922 BIG HIGHWAY
YEAR IN CANADA
5,786 ' Miles of Improved
Roads at Total Cost of
$35,706,991.
Ottawa, Jan. 14.—Another big
highway year in Canada has just
closed. At the close of the calendar
year 1922 there' had been placed' under
agreement for Federal aid in connec-
tion with the'Canad'a Highway Act 274
projects et ,en estimated cast of $35,-
706,991 for 5,786 miles of road in the
different provinces. Forty per cent, of
the estimated cost, the percentage of
Federal assistance payable due on this
system amounts to $14,282,796. There
had. been paid at'the close of the year
to the provinces about $8,000,000.
This amount does not include any
expenditures incurred by the provinces
during 1922, as these must be audited
by officials of the Department of Rail-
ways and Canals and certified to by
the Canada Highways Commission as
actual, necessary and reasonable; and
further, owing to the fact that most of
the provinces have not been able to
have their accounts ready for audit.:,
This abetment of Federal and work
doesnot inelade any work in Alberta,
where the Highways Oommission lies
not yet been constituted.
The following table shows for the
calendar year of 1922 the mileage

tion under the act, and thetotal • Do-

Predicts Balt in
American Progress
A despatch from London says—Sir
Mackay •'Edgar, British indttstrialiat
and financier, has just returned here
from a visit to the States.
"It is an amazing spectacle," ho
says. "There you have 115,000,000
people feverishly` tearing from the
earth its irreplaceable wealth and tie-
ing it to maintain a rate of growth ut-
terly without precedent in all human
history.
"They have long been the champion
spenders of the world, but now they
are making all previous reeorda look
silly."
Sir Mackay says that the biggest
economic fact in the world to -day is
America's• gigantic consuming power.
"It is terrible, because already it is
outrunning production."
Then the., financiergoes on to
prophesy that before long, while the
demand will be as voracious as ever,
the supply will have run short, and
so he predicts a sharp . halt in Amer-
ican progress, which may be 'some-
thing' like a collapse.

A despatch from London says:—W.

Jeans calculated that the earth is
slightly pear-shaped, with the top in
a spot in south-west England, and the
stalk ends in the South Pacific, Jeans
believes the moon is a chip off the
stalk end.
The Daily News reports that these
calculations have been rewarded by a
medal from the Royal Astronomical
Society.
