Too Easily Satisfied.

Many people grow injuriously salts
fed with small success. The first ap-
proach TO competence let's down the
bars of ambition and with complaints
they are satisfied TO grope along as
best they can on the laureIs of their
first successes. Instead of attempt
ing the some-day-to-be-attainable they
cease exerting themselves and take 1t
easy. There never was surer road
to the scrap heap. They may linger
for years as respectable holders Of
ordinary positions. but they lack the
push to rise. Little things fill them
so full that they cease to try for big
things.

THE SITUATION IS DELICATE
Conference Is Held In London--one
Result Is That Germans Must Re-
store Status Quo, or the Al
lies VIII Act.

London.-After a long conference
which the French ambassador. Paul
Cambon, had with Premier Lloyd
George and a full discussion of the
Franco-German incident ny the cab.
met council, at which the French view
was fully explained to the British min
isters. an authoritative statement was
issued to the effect that France acted
entirely on her own initiative in de-
Gliding to occupy German towns that
Great Britain, the United States, Italy
and Belgium were all opposed to the
plan, and that Frances action has /
caused a delicate situation.
The matter is under discussion of
the Britich and French governments
and the hope is expressed that the sit
uation may be eased.
The statement recites various expe
dients suggested for dealing with the
Ruhr situation, among others the
sending of allied officers with the
German troops to supervise the Ger
man withdrawal. Another alternative

stipulation that unless the status quo
was sufficiently restored, the allies
themselves would occupy German
points to enforce their demands. The
statement proceeds:

France feared some Interior motive
on the part Of Germany and doubt

statement, ''the immediate result IL
that the responsibility for her acton
cannot be shared by the allies as a
