Nothing has yet been announced re-

into the Ruhr coal basin, with the ex-
ception OF a vague official statement
which says that any military measures
the French government has under con

of forcing Germany to adhere strictly
to the terms of the peace treaty.
"The military measures undeE the

their sole object the recall Of Ger

bid the presence of German troops in

The terms used in the official state
ment are measures of "astreinte, a
legal expression conveying the idea
of both penalty and constraint. Such
measures are taken by the newspapers
to mean the occupation of Frankfort,
Hanau, Homburg and Darmstadt. The
newspapers express the belief that Of

GENERAL STRIKE IN
DENMARK HAS BEEN
CALLED OFF INDEFINITELY
The King Has Decided To Grant The
Electoral Reforms Demanded
BY The People

Copenhagen. -Notwiths the
removal Of political obstacles and the
announcement that the general strike
had been called off, it still continued
to be effective The employers or
CARNATIONS and the trades unions have
not yet reached a definite agreement.
Both yielded on many points, but are
faced by serious, perhaps insurmount-
able, difficulties through the uncom-
promising attitude OF certain workers
outside the trades unions organization.
These workers include the dock men.
The general strike was called off
following a general meeting of the
chairmen OF all political parties in
the rigsdag called by King Christian.
The announcement stated that all
the parties had agreed it would be
necessary to hold elections after new
electoral law has been passed.
Premier Liebe declared, upon the
kings suggestion, that he desired to
retire The king will now ask former
Director of the Ministry of Justice
Friis to form cabinet, with the I'M
erstanding that the rigsdag resume its
sessions as soon as possible and begin
negotiations for an electoral bill. All
the chairmen promised to cooperate
with a cabinet formed upon that ba-
sis. The resignation Of the Liebe min
istry after five days tenure of Of
flee means that the Socialists will
consent to call off the general strike
providing the new electoral bill is
carried through all the parliamentary
stages before the dissolution of the
rigsdag and the new elections.

be raised by a sale or luxuries taxes,
has been approved by the ways and

G. Details OF the bill to be recon-
mended will be worked out by sub
committees to be appointed later
Members OF the committee hope to
obtain final action by the house be-
fore the contemplated recess for the
national political conventions, but they
express doubt whether action by the
senate could be had at this session.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, after a confer
ence with other senate Republicans
as to future legislation in the senate,
said he thought this would include a
bill to give money bonus to former
service men, with provisions for spe-
cial tax to raise the necessary funds.
The program approved by the house
committee declares against any bond
issue. 1t is understood to have been
submitted by Representative Long
worth, Republican, Of Ohio, and was
discussed at great length in executive
session.
While the exact form of. legislation
was not decided upon, committee dis
cussion was said to have indicated ap-
proval of a plan Of extending voca-
tional education as an alternative to
the cash bonus.
These two plans are. a part of the
American Legion's program. Its 9TH
er selected plan Of government aid to
soldiers and sailors for building homes
or obtaining ownership Of farms were
said by some members Of the COM
mittee to involve too many difficult
ties to be worked out by legislation be
fore the recess.

WAVE OF HIGH PRICES
GRADUALLY RECEDlNG
RESERVE BANK SAYS
Manufacturers Ar Over Country Ex
press Belief That Peak Has
Been Passed

Washington. Nationwide reports
from federal reserve bank officials dis.
close their opinion that the postwar
era Of extravaganza and reckless
buying by the people is nearing its
end.
"A hesitation, if not an actual recess
sion" .of prices is noted and the fed
eral reserve boards statement sum
marizes its advices as indicating a
generally more hopeful view of the
countrys business condition than for
several months.
While the price changes We're shown
by the board not to be universal they
were nevertheless regarded as posi-
tive and of Importance as a basis for
reckoning what the immediate future
holds
Relief from the high prices for the
consumer will not be completely OBJ
tanned until presG>lt stocks are absorb
ed in practically all lines, according to
the boards view. Manufacturers ev-
erywhere, however, were shown to
hold the view that the peak of high
prices has been reached and to ex-
pect a gradual recession
In the clothing trade, particularly,
the board said there was a marked
tendency of the public to make old
supplies last longer and to refuse to
pay eXorbitant prices. This phase
can mean only that an awakening has
come, the statement said, and that
many people have arrived at the con
clusion that they are themselves re-
sponsible for continuing high range
Of prices.

Macon Orchardists in Middle

peach crop this year, but all agree

hey expect to be able to overcome the

good for this year, the orchardists are

bound to cause more or less of a
problem for the peach growers, the
the chief concern this year. The crates
which have been in use for so many
years in shipping the fruit have ad,
vanced from IA to So cents, the latest
jump being from % cents up to So
cents. Growers are also being made
to plank down the cash when they
take their crates from the factory.
The crate bills OF most of the growers
reach into the thousands of dollars
and when that money must be paid
down in advance it is no wonder the
