Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1921-05-12

Premier BRAND was given full lib
erty of action by the French chamber
of deputies after he had declared: IF
on May l satisfactory proposals, with
acceptable guarantees, are not made by
the German government the Ruhr will
be occupied"
Prime Minister Lloyd George already
had assured the house of commons that
if the German proposals were unsatis-
factory Great Britain would support
France in occupation Of the Ruhr.
Whether this occupation would be for
the enforcement of the treaty of Yer
sailles or the Paris January agreement
was not made clear in either Paris or
London. The French have been insist
ing that Germany's violation of the
treaty would alone be sufficient to. JUS
tify the seizure of more territory. No
body. outside of Germany. disputes this
but many are of the opinion that thus
to CT further Germany's productive
power would only make it more diff
cult to extract the reparations from
her.

600 gold marks. The commission in it's
communique said:
"In fixing this amount the repara-
tions commission had effected the nee
essary deductions from the amount of
damages in order to make allowance
for restitutions effected or to be effect
ed in execution of article 238, and in
consequence no credit will be allowed
to Germany in respect to such restitu-
tions.
THE commission has not included in
the above amount the sum in respect
to further obligations incumbent on
Germany In virtue of the third para
graph of article 232 to make reim-
bursement of all sums which Belgium
has borrowed from allies and associ-
ated governments up to November IL,
1918, together with interest at the rate
of per cent on such sums"

Strange Moon Rays.

Pusilex, the distinguished selenog-
rapher of the Paris observatory, some
time ago reached the conclusion that
the curious rays or bands extending
in straight lines away from many lunar
craters, such as the celebrated Tycho.
are produced by the deposition OF
volcanic ashes carried 10 great dis.
tances by the winds that happened TO
prevail when the eruption occurred
He accounts for the relative mar.
rowness of these bands, which are
never more than thirty miles broad,
although their length are sometimes
many hundred miles, by supposing that
only the central axis of the deposit
has remained, the less dense borders
having been destroyed by the denud
ing forces of the air when the moon
had a considerable atmosphere.

IS A DEADLY DRUG
Powerful 0piate Popular With
South African Natives.
Produces Exquisite Feeling Of Supreme
Content and Happiness, but Leaves
Victim a Wreck.

II is not only among. war-wearled
people In big cities that drug taking
Is prevalent.
The natives OF South Africa culti-
vate-surreptitlously, because there Is
huge fine if the authorities find them
out-a herb called dagga.
Dagga in Africa is what opium is TO
China. 1t is smoked-but smoked In
strange way-and the native smokes
II only In the very early dawn or very
late st night, when he can do 1t Sc.
cretly.
He scoops a hole ont of the hard
ground three to four inches deep by
three inches wide. A foot or so away
from this he scoops another hole and
he then bores a small channel under
ground from one TO the other. There
Is thus free air passage connecting
the two little excavations.
He places some dried dagga leaves
in the first hole, lights them and covers
them over with moist clay. He pierces
this clay with sharpened piece OF
wood 10 allow draught 10 go through.
Into the other hole he inserts a small
hollow reed-this is the pipe stem
squeezes moist clay round it, and on
his knees begins his smoke.
A cup of water is at his side, and
after each draw" he cleyerly lets IA
mouthful OF water in without letting
any smoke escape. Then in some mar
al ha afn haa fap In
long thin stream and the smoke slow
ly follows.
Bending low over the reed and sit
ting back on his heels, this is repeated
time and time again.
His eyes stream with tears and soon
get very bloodshot and swollen. He
becomes excited; he feels elated.
buoyed up in some wonderful way All
his cares and troubles are forgotten,
and in their place has come an ex-
quislte feeling of supreme content and
happiness.
He begins TO talk, and the occupants
OF his kraal hear great tales, tales of
daring deeds OF his youth-told with
much demonstration and wild en-
thusiasm. Tales of his early fights
tales OF battles and OF victories-al-
ways Of victories. Tales Of great horse
manship-and wonderful journeys-of
old forests and young love.
But the influence of the dagga dies
out. The natives eyes are screwed
up small, his head aches his limbs
and face become inert, and in short
while he is just huddled mass Of
heavy sleep.
His Joy in life has lasted just about
an hour, and in the dim dawn he
awakens feeling a fearful wreck"
But he believes in "a hair of the
dog that bit him. and so-another
pipe before work.
