Paris, Jan. 14.-While French
and Belgian troops hold the Ruhr
in grip of steel. the allied repair
atoms commission meets today to
decide if further punitive meas
ures against Germany must be
taken.
Louis Bathou, French repre-
sentative, had a plan to propose.
that Germany be given until jan
uary 81 to meet the next cash
payment of 500,0O0,00O gold marks
due Monday.
Germany is expected to ask n
moratorium, and it is to decide
upon this tat the commits
sion be called together two days
in advance of expected default OF
the next payment.
Out Of the meeting may come
a united European entente"-
France, Belgium and Italy with a
common policy towards collecting
reparations from Germany. Bri-
tain, although she still has a num-
Der on the commission is not ex-
pected to agree to anything in the
way of guarantee" such as Po-
incare proposes to take.
Two reasons are given for the
advices, circulated semi-ofhcially
that Barthou will ask postpone
ment of action if Germany de-
faults Monday.
One is that France wishes more
time to reach agreement with
Italy and persuade Mussolini to
approve the French plan; anoth-
er is that the postponement is de-
signed to offset 3 possible German
maneuver of paying the install
ment at the last moment, thereby,
putting France with the PROPOSE
ton OF coercion, in a bad light.

Ipoctulated With
Microbe of Love
Wedding To Fulfil Romance Which
Began in Amateur Theatri-
g ... cal Production

Winchester, Jan. 13.-Since an
nouncement was made a few days
ago of the engagement of Miss
Miriam Louise Kempton, of Bos-
ton, Mass, to Lester Lawrence
Evans, of Front Royal, Va, and
that their wedding probably would
take place in the early spring, with
New York as their future home, 1t
has been learned that an amateur
theatrical production, staged sew
eral months ago in Front Royal,
under the title of "The Microbe OF
Love-" was directly responsible
for the romance that has since
been growing apace.
Miss Kempton, daughter OF an
old New England family of Puri-
tan extraction, graduate Of the
Emerson College of Oratory and a
number Of the Pi Phi Sorority, de-
cided to spend a year or two travel
ing over the country, at the same
time directing amateur theatricals
for an Atlanta concern. Fate seems
to have directed her toward Front
Royal, at the western foothills OF
the Blue Ridge mountains, and
during the last early fall she coach
ed the theatrically inclined swains
and bellies of that town in their
roles of the sparkling musical
comedy, "the Microbe Of Love"
Somehow, Lester Evans fitted in
perfectly as "Billy Bachelor. Ev-
eryone said he never would marry
had a new girl every time the
weather changed and that he would
continue paying bachelors tax
as long as he lived. Miss Kemp
ton played the part Of Madame
Cupid" in the play, and it was a
part of her role to touch all the
unsuspecting bachelors with
magic wand and innoculate them
with tiny germ bug, known as
the "microbe of love-" Evans was
president" of the bachelors club,
and he is reported to have been so
thoroughly innoculated that it
took" almost at once.

Essen, Jan. 13.-A clash between
France and Germans in the Ruhr
was averted today when the French
commission agreed to take cash
for coal deliveries. .,'' --~. '3--
At a conference with German
operators, the French firsf threat
ened arrest of the mine owners
and superintendents and cUnfisca-
ton of the coal supplies if work
was not resumed on Monday.
The French explained they were
willing to pay temporarily to avoid
closure of the mines.
Essen, January 13.-1t was pay
day in the Essen mines today and
the first test of Frances "state of
siege" in which the city is held
arrives.
Thousands of miners come down
to the city to drink up their weeks
wages. and if the occasion can be
passed without a clash, the peace
ful occupation of Essen will be the
credit France claims it is.
The city under restrictions that
were at once mild and severe, de-
pending upon the spirit rather than
the letter of the martial law, re-
mained quiet overnight.
French engineers began their
inspections which France hopes
will lead to: considerable amount
of coal mined in this district be-
ing diverted to French consumers.
Belgian and Italian engineers as
