- HE first and the most important con-
sequence OF the Viviani visit is al
ready revealed in the utterances of
NJ. BRAND. the French Premier Assured
that all German assertions to the contrary
were false, and that the United States had
not the slightest intention Of intervening
directly indirectly on behalf of the Ger
mans, NJ. BRAND has announced with signif-
cant celerity that on May il Germany has
not changed her attitude France means to
lake the German "by the throat"
What does this mean? Obviously it might
forecast a general advance of allied troops
into Germany, new and far reaching In
vasion which would at last, end the world
war In Berlin instead of at the German
frontiers, as happened in 1918. Beyond all
debate II lies within the power of France to
go to Berlin, despite any resistance of which
Germany is now capable. and any resistance
would be little more than suicide.
Yet, judging from present reports from
europe. no excursion to Berlin is in French
minds at present. On the other hand it is
clear that so far the allied policy of CO.
ercion has failed. Having defied the Allies
at London, Germany stands solidly by her
declaration that she could not and would not
sccept the allied terms as written at Paris
and presented to Simons at London. The
extension Of allied occupation to a portion
of the. Ruhr region and the PRONUNCIATION of
new tariff walls between occupied and un-
occupied Germany has produced no sub
mission.
Germany is still defiant, the results of the
extended occupation have been on the politi-
cal side just nil and on the material side
below the expenses of the military effort
Not even the warning contained In Secretary
Hughess communication to Mr. Dresel in
Berlin has sufiiced to silence or modify the
German spirit of resistance or up to the
moment this article is written, move the
German Government 10 make a pro-
posal or show any readiness to accept the
Paris programme.

On the contrary, German newspapers now

the Treaty OF Versailles provides that GER
tain conditions should have been fulfilled, is
in sight and Germany lying fiat on the
ground and refusing to move. still insolently
inquiries: What are you going to do
about it?"
To this the French reply seems fairly
complete. France proposes for the time
being not a general occupation Of Germany.
which would take millions of men and
billions of money, but a slightly extended
occupation Of the industrial areas of Ger
many. which win permit France to control
the industrial life of Germany. To put the
thing quite succinctly. France is going to
take over the power house Of the German
Industrial plant The question of whether
Germany will have heat, light and power
and of the terms under which she shall have
them will then rest with France.

Three Great Coal Areas
And One Already Is Seized

Auu Oue <iIcduy IS SeiZeQ
The conditions are these: There are in
Germany three great coal areas. From these
Germany draws not only her domestic sup
ply, which is essential to the operation OF
all Of her own manufacturing and transpor-
tation but large item in German export.
These three coal areas are the Ruhr, Upper
Silesia and the Sarre Under the Treaty Of
Versailles the Sarre has already been turned
over TO the French for fifteen years at the
least. But in reality this is only a minor
source OF supply and the Sarre coal is in
ferior as compared with that Of the Ruhr
and Of the Upper Silesian mines.
RI Germany should now suddenly be de-
nrived of all of the coal supplies coming
from the Ruhr and from Upper Silesia she
would be exactly in the situation of an cleo
trio railway abruptly deprived of power
through some disturbance in the power
house Until the power was turned on
again the transportation system would be
paralyzed. And exactly this is the step the
french have in mind for the period following
promptly on May 1.
In practice the operation would be two
fold-that is. there would have to be two
distinct actions, one in Upper Silesia and the
other In the Ruhr. But as 10 Upper Sesia

The School Board of the city is
back of the Tag Day plan. With the
increase in automobiles and the few
chances for supervised play in Au-
gusta, they have felt that the school
yards, properly equipped, could be
made the ideal recreation spots for
the youngsters during the summer.
What money is raised will be used
for the purchase of apparatus, some
thing for every school, so that there
will not be a section of the city but
what will receive the benefit. The
grounds will be given adequate SUI
pervision during the summer so that
not only will the Riddles be kept out
Of mischief. but they will have a
safe, healthy place to play and
will learn new things in the way
of recreational activities, things that
are bound to help them in their men,
tai spiritual and neral development
But these Tag Days on Friday and
Saturday are not the only things Of
interest to the grown-ups in Augusta
for the end of the week. In the City
hall there will be a general exhibition
of the manual arts and household
economics as taught in the schools Of
Augusta. This will open at q o'clock
Friday afternoon and will be free to
everyone. 1t will continue through
Saturday so that parents and others
may have an opportunity to see just
what their children have been taught
in school. The demonstration Of
drawing in the lower grades will be
one of the finest ever shown in Maine.
With the exhibition in City hall
showing concrete results of what is
| being taught in the schools and with
the youngsters and their tags about
the streets seeking funds for equip
ping their Fairgrounds, the Kids are
going to let the world know that
when they have a day, it is going to
be SOME day.

Owls Head Publicity

By Proposed Referendum

Rock1and, Maine, June S-Publicity
for Owls Head is now assured for
this season by the proposal to sub
NIT to the voters of the State a
referendum on the division of the
town of South Thomaston by the last
Legislature.
In opposition to this the Owls
Head Publicity Committee is sending
out the following:
In the 1921 Legislature there was
presented a bill to set off the town
of Owls Head from the town of
South Thomaston. The matter was
exhaustively considered by the Com
mittee on Towns, and debated on
the floor of both branches of Leg
islature. AS a result of this dis
cussion the bill to divide the town
was passed by a substantial major
ity. Naturally dissatisfied by this
result, group of South Thomaston
enthusiasts are now attempting to
invoke referendum on the matter.
To do this they must secure 10000
signers on the petition.

whose body is found in the basement
of their home. Sudden inspiration
makes her realize that in some mex
plicable, strange way the woman next
door has really a hand in the murder.
Acting on this clairvoyant realiZa-

the murder is enacted to the very
last touch, and the real murderer
brought to sudden confession. 1.-THE

than they usually do, for they know
better than the men what it means
to have something done for the
youngsters.
And so on Friday and Saturday
some 1000 school children in the city
are going out with tags in an effort
to raise money so that playground
apparatus for every school-yard in
Augusta may be secured. No fixed
amount has been set, but these tags
are to go for a minimum price Of %
cents each. If anyone feels inclined,
he can give s25 if he wishes and it
will not be refused.
These tags are worth not only the
Is cents which will be asked, but a
lot more bcause of the purpose to
which the funds raised will be put.
The tags themselves are unique SO
far as Augusta is concerned. Circu-
lar in shape, with stitching" to rep
