FITZGERALD NOT INVITED
New Haven Mayor Among Those Not Present at Reception to Vice-Presi-
 dent Marshall, Given by Col. Ullman

New Haven, Feb. 24.-At a recep- ton given last night in honor of Vice President Thomas Marshall at the home of Col. Isaac Ullman, Mayor David F: FiNGerald was conspicu- ously absent. The mayor was practi- cally the only local man prominent in municipal, state or federal govern ment activities who was not present, and his absence was the cause of many remarks.
 Col. Ullman, the host of the eve ming, offered an explanation of the mayors absence. It seems that at the time of Gen. Clarence E. Edwards visit to New Haven he was entertained by the Chamber of Commerce of which body Col. Ullman was then the head. The colonel introduced Mayor F'itzGerald with the usual comm menda- tory remarks. He claims that the mayor afterward used his words as campaign material and to guard against a recurrence, he purposely re- trained from extending an invitation to the city's chief executive.

Paris.-Despite strong French init
nations Of coercive military action un-
less the Germans should withdraw
from the neutral zone, foreign office
dispatches reported that the German
troops everywhere in the Ruhr region
are making progress.
Intervention by the French regu-
lar forces may lead to the worst con-
sequences in the words Of Premier
Millerand in state regarding the in.
yasion.
After sharp combats near Vessel,
Ham and Walsun, the foreign office
adyices state, the German soldiers con-
tinued to advance.
Nothing has yet been announced re-
garding Frances next step with re-
gard to the sending OF German troops
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.
sideration are merely for the purpose
OF forcing Germany to adhere strictly
to the terms of the peace treaty.
"The military measures under the
governments consideration have as
their sole object the recall OF Ger
many to respect for Articles XIII and
Xiv of the peace treaty, which for
bid the presence Of German troops in
the zone SO kilometers east Of the
Rhine" the statement says. "They
are, therefore, purely restrictive meas
ures."
The terms used in the official state
ment are measures of "astreinte,"
legal expression conveying the idea
of both penalty and constraint. Such
measures are taken by the newspapers
to mean the occupation of Frankfort,
IIanau, Homburg and Darmstadt. The
newspapers express the belief that Of
fetal announcement of the occupation
is only awaiting Premier Millerand's
notification OF and consultation with
the allies

APPROVE SOLDIER Relief BILL
Vocational Education May supplant
Cash Bonus In Many
Instances

Washington. relief legisla'
ton, with probable provision for a
cash bonus, funds for which would
be raised by a sale or luxuries taxes,
has been approved by the ways and
means committee by a vote OF 10 to
6. Details Of the bill to be recon-
mended viii 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 a 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 APP
proval of 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. It's 9th
err 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.

ASK OCCUPATION BY ALLIES
Ruhr Valley Isolated From Rest OF
World. With No Trains, Teie-
phones Or Telegraph

London.-The Essen correspondent
OF the London Times, telegraphing
from Cologne, says he was forced TO
20 to Cologne as the Ruhr valley is
isolated from the rest Of the world,
there being no trains, telegraph com
munication or telephones. Several fac
tories are still in operation, although
all are picketed by red guards.
The workers Of Dusseldorf refused
TO strike, and il was reported at Essen
that the Bochum workers had taken
similar action. The reds ordered the
Krupps TO cease work and the huge
factory is lying idle. TO the disgust
of the workers.
The supreme workers council sent
a delegation TO Cologne TO inform the
allies that the reichstag troops were
advancing into the Ruhr basin with
out the entente powers permission
and to request them either to order
that this invasion cease or occupy the
Ruhr territory themselves. AS the
delegates threaten to blow up the
factories and mines unless the entente
takes action it will possibly be nee
essary for the allies to occupy the
Ruhr district.
Reporting visit to the red front
the correspondent says the discipline
of the red guards seem TO have i'm
proved and they are determined not
to surrender their arms unless posi-
bly, TO the allies but their lines thin
~ held and often disconnected There
is lack OF artillery and machine
guns and above all, food and am

WAVE OF HIGH PRICES
GRADUALLY RECED1NG
RESERVE; BANK SAYS
Manufacturers An over Country Elk
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. il not an actual recess
sion" of prices is noted and the FED
eral reserve boards statement sum
marizes its adyices as indicating a
generally more hopeful view of the
country's business condition than for
several months.
While the price changes were 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 win not be. completely OBJ
tanned until present 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 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-
Nsponsible for continuing high range
Of prices.

TsraIr County To Bore For OH

McRae. Following up careful inves-
LEGATIONS made by the state geologist,
and his assistant, who several months
ago spent considerable time making
n scientific survey of circumstances
and conditions surrounding oil seep-

miles south of this place, a definite
nlan of work is now in progress con-
formulating a test Of the productivity
of these properties and the lands ad-
jacent thereto.

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

Copenhagen. Notwithstanding 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 ali
the parties had agreed it would be
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
as soon as possible and begin
negotiations for an electoral bill. All
the chairmen promised to cooperate
with 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
the new electoral bill is
carried through all the parliamentary
stages before the dissolution of the
rigsdag and the pew elections.
