FRANCE WILL HOLD
RUHR, SAYS ANSWER
TO BRITISH NOTE
COMMUNICATION ANNOUNCED
TODAY SAYS OCCUPATION LE-
GAL AND BERLIN MUST PAY

. Paris, Aug. 28.-The French gov
ernment's reply to the recent British
Preparations note asserts that France
refuses to withdraw from the Ruhr
except as she is paid and that she re-
jects a plan for an international re-
estimate of Germany's capacity to
pay.
The reply, made public at the for
eign office early Wednesday morning,
maintains that the French operation
in the Ruhr is absolutely legal. 1t
offers to consider the easiest method
of exacting payment from Germany
when resistance has ceased and eX-
presses a willingness to continue the
recent discussion with Great Britain.

Interest Eats Up Farmers;
Government Must Control


Chicago, Aug. 28.-A govern
ment corporation to handle farm
products is imperative to save
farmers, according to Benjamin
Marsh, managing director of the
Farmers National council. He
declared the farmers must pay
from one-seventh to one-eighth
of what they get for their crops
in interest and bonus charges on
Indebtedness.
Interest and bonus charges on
the nearly thirteen billion dollars
of long term mortgages and short
term Indebtedness of farmers
amounts to all the money wheat
growers will get for their crop,
and third to half of what cotton
growers will get for their cotton
this year, according to present in
dicatiOns," he said.

WILL ROGERS THINKS THE STEEL,
 MILLS MUST BE HEALTH RESORTS

Will Rogers, vaudeville star and movie favorite; writing in the New York Times, commented as follows on Judge Gary's defense of the I2- hour day:
 We can always depend on Judge Gary, for weekly laugh in his speeches. But last week h had the prize wheeze of his career.
 "He had his accomplices make an investigation of the steel industry, was much more beneficial to man 10 work I2 hours day than eight They made this report so alluring that it is apt to make people who read 1t decide to stay the extra four hours on their jobs, just through the health and enjoyment they get out of 1t.
 HI never knew steel work was so easy till 1 read that report. Why, the advantages they enumerate in this report would almost make d bootlegger trade jobs with a steel worker.
 But here is the kick Judge Gary got up to read his report before the stockholders who had made it out. lIG lGdd TOT OUG lIOuI Ill 1dF ol o1 1 I2-hour day Then he was so ex- hausted they had to carry him out, and Charley Schwab had to go on reading the sheet.
 "Now, if the judge couldn't work an hour, how did he expect his workers to do I2 every day?
 After Schwab read for two hours the audience was carried out.
 "It was the greatest boost for the I2-hour day I ever heard of. 1 am thinking of going out there and working for them, but if it is such a pleasure to work I2 hours l am go- ing to try and get them to let me work IS, at least, for l don't belieN [ I would get enough pleasure out of just I2.
 "So if you don't hear of me next wek you will know 1 just enjoyed myself to death in Judge Gary's steel mills in Pittsburgh"

ROADS CARELESS:
 RECORDS HOST"

Washington, July 2o.-There will be no early valuation of railroads by
 the Interstate Commerce Gommis ssion, according to evidence now being de- veloped at these hearings.
 Railroad attorneys have told the commission that the records of many of the old and absorbed railroads are not in existence; that 1t IS impossible to find original costs, and that there lis no feasible plan of ascertaining present-day values. Many of these valuable records have mysteriously
 disappeared, and no one connected with the railroads can offer any sug- gestion as to their whereabouts. Of fcials who could give information on this subject are dead, the attorneys say.
 The railroads do not seem alarmed over this absence of records. They simply announce that the papers have disappeared and now it is impossible i to figure on the basis of original costs.
 ] C. C. Hine, general counsel of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville
 railroad, stated to the commission:
 "The same causes which render it impossible to ascertain original cost
 make it impossible to estimate cost as
 of the date of installation. In many
 cases an effort to do so would result
 in wilder guesses than the furthest flight of fancy has ever carried the most imaginative and ardent advocate of the unlimited reproduction cost es-
 innate. To apply the theory of esti- mated cost as of the date of installa- ton or historical reproduction cost, 1t is prerequisite that the date of in stallation be determined. In the ab- sence of records, this is impossible. Divers substitutes have been uggest-
 ed Carefully worded, they present a
 superfcially pleasing appearance.
 They are catchy slogans,
 Stripped of fact by any attempt to
 apply them to large railway system
 built by piecemeal through several
 decades, they are reduced to absurt1i-
 ties"

tor Of Traffic Rules IN Some States.

Annual figures show the automobile
traffic situation is becoming more and

In Omaha the large per capita

According to Nebraska statutes, the
first offense against the reckless driv-
