WASHINGTON, April s.-Demo
Gratis are watching with unconcealed
glee the signs of division between
President Harding and the progress
size wing CT the party and they are
nov predicting that he will soon be
in a predicament as serious as the
one Taft encountered in 1912.
The President comes back from his
southern vaca ton trip with an ex-
iremely uncertain political situation
on his hands. That the President and
his followers are Keenly aware of
their difficult situation is evidenced
Sy the appeal against blocs made by
Harding in a speech at Augusta just
before he started north, and in a
similar plea by Senator Jones of
Washington, a middle of the-road
progressive.
On the one hand there are the con-
sentative republicans who want to
ride along as smoothly as possible
On the other hand are the belligerent
progreSsiveS, eager to try out their
new strength by revamping railroad
and tax legislation on sweeping
scale. Then the sudden tanning up
of interest in the League of Nations
has made Harding's position more
difficult. Enemies of the league are
bitterly opposed to having anything
to do even with it's judicial offspring.

Harding is seeking to minimize
his troubles by avoiding interna-

take the offensive against the League

he has for the last two years, join
ing the international court, perhaps,

which might arouse the irreeoncili-
ahles to wrath.

PARIS. April Shy Associated
Press Five ministers of the Poin-

parts of France today, and standing
beneath monuments dedicated to the
war dead, unveiled in their presence,
solemnly informed the thousands of
French citizens that "the Ruhr will
be- evacuated only when Germany
has fulfilled her reparation obliga-
tions."
The statement is interpreted in po-
litical circles as the official reply to
suggestions made by some opposed
to the present policy in the Ruhr,
that the government was waYering
and was willing now to talk with
Germany.
NJ. DeLasteyrie. minister of fl
nance, speaking at Turenne, said:
Occupation is the only efficacious
means of coercion we have against
Germany. We are no longer prepared
to accept empty promises and vain
signatures. We have guarantee
and we have decided to hold it until
We have received satisfaction. We
will evacuate the Ruhr only as Ger
many settles her reparations."
The minister, NJ. Maginot, in the
Mouse department. said: Germany
must pay and disarm."
