Many millions of marks in gold and

Terry's crime was one of the most

GERMAN CAPITALISTS
| WANT FRENCH IN ,-RUHR
Believe the Entente Soldiers Would
Prevent Naturalization. OF,
Mines in That Region.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1920.
PARIS. Nov mber 1S.-The Interna-
tional Federation of Trades Unions
has just completed an investigation
of conditions in the Ruhr basin. un-
dertaken at the request of German
workmen. NJ, Jouhaux, head of the
French labor organization. who was a
member of the investigat ting commits
sion. says: we are convinced that
French occupation of the. Ruhr basin
is greatly desired by German capital
lists. and particularly by the SHINES
group. Why? Because such occupa-
tion would end the project for social
izing the mines now being discussed
across the Rhine. We were able to
see that German employers are
counting on the entente soldiers to
aid them in their reactionary plans"
In weighing Al. Jouhaux' remarks it
must he remembered that the French
unions also set great store by their
now project for the industrial ma
.ic ualiZation" of mines, and therefore
are perhaps rendered more SYM
pa athetic to the German miners than
they might otherwise be.

Explaining the "Rino FINGER. /"

OF all the men. both young and old,
who place engagement rings on the
fingers Of their brides-to-be, IT is al
most an absolute certainty that not
one-teDth of them knows why be places
the ring on the ring finger of the left
hand. OF course, the answer could
be: "Everybody's dom it." The Gus
tom Of placing the ring upon the fourth
finger seems undoubtedly to owe it's
origin to the fancy that special
nerve, or vein, ran directly from this
finger I'd the heart. Macrobius In his
Saturnalia, alludes to the belief In the
following words: Because OF this
nerve. the newly betrothed places the
ring on this finger of his spouse. as
though it were a representation of the
heart" This information, he asserts,
was derived from an Egyptian priest.
