AMERICAN IMPRESSIONS

When, under the shadow of the
Statue of Liberty, 1 found myself
bombarded with questions by score
of newspaper representatives who
had come aboard the Majestic spe-
cially to meet my humble person, I
began to have a faint idea of the in
terest awakened over here by the
announcement of my lecture tour.
When / found myself escorted soon
afterward by stalwart American po-
licemen from the ship to the auto
mobile waiting to convey me to my
temporary home with friends, and
when / caught sight of the crowds

expressibly surprised and touched
that L should be considered worthy
of such a reception. Shall / be ac-
cused of lack of modesty IL say that
1 am proud and gratifed to have
been greeted thus? / think not, be-
cause l know that all this sympathy
and interest must be attributed to the
characteristic keenness of Americans
to learn and probe to a deeper degree
the methods of autosuggestion asso-
ciated with my name.
Since my arrival at New York, the
memory of which will never be eff
faced, I have not ceased to marvel at

A Jolly, healthy little man came to
Washington today to tell the people
of the National Capital how to get
better day by day.
He is Emile Coue, French exponent
of autosuggestion, who arrived at
Union station at 1887 o'clock this
morning. preparatory to giving two
lectures here tomorrow.
At noon, at the National Press Club,
the apostle of autosuggestion issued
a warning to the people here that
tence. DAY by day, in every way, I
am getting better and better" to be-
come an obsession.
NJ Coue issued this warning while
seated on a circular dfvan in the
press club, surrounded by a group of
newspaper men, who gathered so
close to the small Frenchman, attired
in a plain. black suit, that they almost
icut off the air from him.
The warning not to allow his IA
nous formula to become an obses-
sion came when a newspaper man
asked M. Coue If it was. all right to
repeat the formula at any time OF
day one wished, in addition to saying
1t twenty times each morning and
twenty times each night.

"I have been smoking for fifty

German Defiance More Open

Germany is making another feeble

in the past to get money abroad
shows that odds against her being

dicted here.
Landslide Of Public Opinion.
The effects of the present French
policy may be summed up as follows:
1. Landslide of public opinion in ia
vor of open opposition to the treaty
of Versailles. This change of senu-
ment has a strong reactionary and
monarchistic undercurrent because
the socialists are in favor of an hon
est attempt to carry out the terms OF
the treaty.

people to invest and secure all their

SOVIET PERIL ADDS
TO WAR SPECTER
Suspected Russo German
Military Alliance Is LOOM
ing Up. :
HUGE ARMY IN RESERVE
Union Of Forces Would Find

Equal Numbers.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Now that the guns have begun to
go off in the Ruhr, the specter of war
between France and Germany ad-
vances with a roar into the realm
of immediate possibilities. It centers
the consideration of both statesmen
and military authorities on a question
that has been at the back of their
minds since the new French occupa-
ton. That question is whether or
not Germany and soviet Russia are
in secret alliance for war against
France, or. as 1t once was put by a
Russian diplomatist in Washington,
for war against the treaty Of Ver-
sailles." There are many authorities
who believe that German resistance
to extreme French demands such as
France is now imposing always had
Russian military support in view.
They believe the hour is not far dis

In the presence of such a con-
tingency, 1t needs to be recalled that
Germany and Russia already are IN
alliance. 1t is true that the treaty
of Rapallo, which they jointly sprang
upon the world with sensational sud
denness at the Genoa conference In
April, 1922, is on the surface merely
an economic pact. But international
diplomacy thought then, and to
considerable extent remained con-
yinced. that, supplementing their
commercial and financial agreement,
Germany and Russia! had sealed a
mutual treaty of defensive and OF
fansiye alliance. Rathenau, for Ger
many, and Tchitcherin. for Russia,
both vehemently denied at Genoa
that the treaty of Rapallo camou-
faEed a military understanding.

FRENCH DETERMINED.
Ready to Give Germans Taste of
Own Methods.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ESSEN, January 16.-Whatever the
outcome of the conference set for
today at Dusseldorf between the
German industrial magnates and the
French economic mission, the Ruhr
valley appeared this morning to be
in line for an uncompromising mill
tary occupation.
we've tried soft methods and the
Germans refused to cooperate" the
correspondent was told at the French
military u headquarters IF they
get taste of what they gave Belgium
and northern France. We will give
them something to whine for"
Today's meeting, to which the Ger
man industrial leaders had been in
vited under the threat that If they
failed to appear they would be sent
: for, was to be presided over by Gen.
De Goutte. From the windows OF
the conference room in the Duessel-
dorf city hall the French tanks,
armored cars and infantry were dis
cernible as they moved forward to
strengthen the hold of the French
upon Germany's rich coal fields.
SHINES ON Way to Berlin.
There was great interest as to
whether the SHINES holdings would
comply with the summons to send

obtaining practical results from the
occupation. They came here, 1t is ad-
mitted, unprepared for an operation
Of this magnitude, and the turn OF
events has caused NJ. Coste, head OF
the mission. to look rather depressed,
although he voiced the opinion that
today's conference would straighten
out tho situation.
The about-face position of the Ger
man industrialists took the French
by surprise. They were quite con-

mans had agreed in principle to the
coal deliveries; hence yesterdays
breakdown in the economic negotia-
tfons came as bombshell
Gen. de Goutte has issued a proc
!amatfon in which he declares that IL
the local authorities, either by their
actions or by passive resistance,
cause any impediment whatsoever to
thesnormai progress of business, all
the penalties deemed necessary will
be Immediately enforced.
The Ruhr valley mine operators,
forbidden by the German coal COM
missioner to make deliveries to the
entente, have decided to wait and see
what France will do, their spokesmen
said today.
AS one director put it, the owners
did not expect the occupation in the
first place, and now that 1t has come
about 1t only remains for them to
await further action by the economic
commission. The operators regard the
occupation as a breach of the Ver-
saflles treaty and declare that any
conflscation of private property, such
as the mines, will constitute a fur
ther violation of that agreement.

ance is summed up by the expression:
You can lead a horse to water, but
you can't make him drink" If con-
fiscation is actually effected it will
still remain for the allies to produce
engineers capable of properly operat-
ing the mine, the mine owners point
out, and they are highly confident
that technical personnel of suffici-
entity high caliber cannot be pro-
duced.
Even should the requisite capacity
in the directive machine be supplied
there would be the question of man
ual labor to deal with, and the coal
leaders point to the probability that
If the miners balk of working under
French administration, and French
and Belgian soldiers have to stand
over the mines with bayonets fixed,
the new administrators still may not
be able to get the desired results.
After yesterdays conference August
Thyssen, the German metal industry
magnate, indicated that the suspicion
was lowering in his mind that the
French were contemplating arrests
and confiscations, but he had little
to add to the statement he made at
the meeting on behalf of the miners
that the German laws prevailed in
the Ruhr.

GERMANY IS HELD
IN DEFAULT IN KIND
Reparations Commission
Acts on Refusal to Make
Certain Deliveries.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 16.-The reparations
commission. in a session lasting less
than half an hour, today rushed
through a decision declaring Germany
in willful default in certain deliveries in
kind for the year 1928.
The reparations bloc-France, Bel
gium and Italy-voted in favor Of de-
claring the default, and Kembal Cook
the British delegate, acting in place OF
Sir John Bradbury, who was indis-
posed. abstained from voting.
Declared "Open Defiance.
The hurried decision, followed Ger
many's refusal to make any more de-
liveries in kind, including coal, wood
cattle, dyes and building materials, SC
long as the French remained In the
Ruhr.
President Barthou said Germany's
refusal was IAN open defiance OF the
allies" which must be met with in
slant action.
The American representatives, Ro-
land w. Boyden and Col. James A.
Logan, were present, but had moth
ing to say.
Immediate Enforcement Expected.
The default, it was explained by
Louis Barthou, president of the COM
mission. resulted from the refusal OF
the German government to make de-
liveries In kind while the French
were in the Ruhr.
The French high commissioners
were anxious to obtain the vote OF
.the reparations commission declaring
this default as an authorization for
the French policy of acquisitions
which it is believed will be enforced
