side sources-from people in foreign countries who have poured billions in to Germany speculating in worthless marks. Berlin had no intention of stabilizing the mark. She played the speculators for suckers to the extent of over one billion dollars. Her in- dustrial magnates who became multi millionaires by going heavily in debt and then meeting their internal obll- gations with marks worth only frac- tion of what they were when the debts were contracted, have banked or invested their surplus in foreign countries in dollars and pounds. And finally, believing that the other allies would not allow France to ln- wade the Ruhr, Germany defaulted on her reparations. It was typical German blunder.
 Meanwhile France has invested large sums in restoring the devasta1, ed areas. She has done this with the understanding that Germany ultimate ly would pay the cost, as Germany had been called upon by the allies to do. Germany failing, France stepped in, took over the Ruhr district, and began to squeeze blood from the tur- nip.
 From the standpoint of separations the French plan has been an eXpen- sive proposition. Although they hold the industrial heart of Germany they have not succeeded in collecting as much as Germany was reluctantly paying at the time of the invasion. The German policy of passive re- sistance" did not deter the French, but it has succeeded in preventing them from operating the mines ano industries at material profit. From the viewpoint of peace and satisfac- tory adjustment both countries are making mistakes. And France is pre- pairing to thrust its saber deeper into the heart of Germany.

 For the interior Of Zaza's love nest near the little town of St Etenne, France, it was necessary to obtain dozens of French Eimcracks, china or naments, d-fashioned furniture, a miniature French piano and other things that would suit the fancy Of the temperamental Zaza.

Teddy Claire. who appears with his company of II at the Capitol theater on Thursday Friday and Saturday of next week. is said to be one of the best female impersonators on the American vaudeville stage, Claire will certainly have to look to his honors in New Britain because of his playing here shortly after Olin Lan- drick. who appeared with Arnam's mnstrels q short time ago, Lam drick was about the best impersa na- tor seen on any New Britain stage and in many ways eclipsed Julian El- tinge and Tommy Martelle, known both in vaudeville and on the legiti- mate stage. Claire has an excep- tionally good act. out of town reports state. and is supported by Lada's Louisiana orchestra of 10 men. The first half of the week will feature "The Four Horsemen.' not a moving picture but vaudeville novelty. On the same bill will be "The Enchan- ters" featuring Kinkaid's Melodists. An act billed for early appearance is "The Juvenile Frolics of 1924"
