Boycott Battle
Becoming More Acute
in Occupied Ruhr

Essen, Feb. 14.-(By A. PO-The
boycott battle between the Franco
Belgian occupational forces and the
Germans is daily becoming more acute
in the Ruhr. particularly in Essen. The
most noticeable features are the fall
ure of cooperation On the part of the
German police and the refusal of hotels
and merchants to serve the French and
Belgians
In retaliation. the Allies seized two
of the largest hotels in Essen, but this
was met by further active opposition
on the part of the Germans. Yester-
day the Germans severed the electric
current supplying the kaserhof Hotel,
where the Allied engineering commis>
sion was quartered. The French coun.
tered with an ultimatum that unless
the lights were restored by 6 o'clock
last evening the entire lighting sys-
EN- of the city would be shut down. AZ
that hour the Kaiserhof was still with>
out electricity but the city lights con.
tinued to blaze forth.
The Germans said that a detail Of
troops was sent to the municipal light
ing plant to cut the power. but was
obliged to leave without achieving it's
purpose Lecause the doors were tightly
barred.
Vice Burgomaster Schaefer was ar
rested this morning in connection with
this incident.

Misc0nception of
War Department
Purposes Says Weeks

Washington. Feb. IA pacifist
propaganda is responsible for a mis-
conception of the purpose of the
War Department.. Secretary Weeks
declared in letter to the Institute
of Government in connection with
the military sessions of its conven-
ton which will be held here next
week. The letter was made public
tonight by the Institute and said in
part:
1T is apparent that our people
must equip themselves to participate
in the problems of citizenship in
war and in peace by actually parti-
cipating. and use the best possible
means in existence, guided by the
experience we have just passed
through
Unfortunately. there is decided
opposition to this program. The pa
cifiSt propaganda has become much
too general in the churches and in
many women's organizations the re-
suit of which tends to create a total
mlsconception of the purposes of the
war department. 1t is charged that
the War Department is preparing
for war. No part of the government
or the people is less inclined to en-
gage in war than the army, know
ing as it does most about it. but the
army has clear conception of its
duty to so prepare that the country
Will not be ineffective months after
1t may be necessary to declare war
as it was in April. 1917 1t is quite
apparent that these good citizens do
not have correct conception of the
purposes OF the department"

Dunn charged the jury that the fact

murder.

Bangor Library
Worker. Suffering
Sleeping Sickness

Bangor, Me, Feb. IA case of
sleeping sickness has been reported
to the local health authorities, the
victim being Mrs. Hortense Harding
Davis. desk clerk at the public Ii
brary in this city. She is said not to
be seriously i'll. Only one other case
OF this unusual malady has been re-
ported in the State this year and the
case here is the first to como under
the local health departments attcn-
ton in over year.
Charles a. Flag, former librarian
of the library here, died two years ago
of a disease that was diagnosed by
physicians as sleeping sickness, but
health authorities regard it as most
unlikely that Mrs. Davis contracted
the disease from germs that may have
been lurking about the books.
