Of attaining that end.
During the rush seasons speed Is

period of long service In the main
post office and other stations as
his background, has estimated va
rious means of hastening delivery.
Large amounts OF money 80
through this station because Of
the many wealthy families, business
houses. and banking institutions
Il serves. For this reason every
precaution is taken to guard the
mail until It reaches the addressee.
Many humorous incidents occur
at the station due to the ig-
norance Of the average person as
TO the proper routing and prepare
ton Of mail. c. d. Pindell, window
clerk, says that he has found the
most educated persons to know the
least about the apparently simple
rules OF the post office.

LAST GATEWAY ID
 GERMANY IS CLOSED
French Block Dortmund Road..
 Isolation of Ruhr Complete

Dusseldorf. Feb. 1, (By Associated Press )--Thc closing of the Dortmund gateway. the only rempining exit in unoccupied Germany. was undertaken by the French early today upon the receipt Of instruction from Paris to complete the isolation of tho Rnhr.
 This step which translates into &C., ton the decision Of the French and Belgian governments to shut off the ccal and coke supplies from the rest of the Reich follows quickly tho as- sumption Of the customs control by the allies yesterday and leaves the Ruhr completely at the disposal of the occupying forces.
 Coal Mining Less.
 With all the Ruhr customs posts as well as many large warehouses, in their possession, the French find that coal production is being considerably reduced while the rail strike is still effective. The shortage of cars at tho mines may result. 1t is feared, in d suspension of mining operations for a few days because of the congestion at the pit heads.
 Taking stock of yesterdays coal pro- duction the occupying experts found that slightly more than 50,000 tons were taken out. This is less than half of the usual amount and was the poorest showing for any day since the occupation began three weeks ago.
 Among the increasing number of persons deported are 25 High school of Aix-le-Chapelle. They are charged with holding demonstration. are still used to take elected civilians across the border.
 Various Opinions.
 Speaking to some labor leaders in Essen last evening. the correspondent found greatly divergent opinions re- garding the French occupation. The real leaders, it is believed, are now in Berlin.
 Several of the local leaders spoke of the occupation as violation of in- law as great as the en- rance Of the German army into Bel ,ium. Men holding such views belong 0 the nationalist elements which the socialists and comm unists fear more han they do the French.
 Dr. Gruetzner. president of Rfenish | Prussia, in an interview published in | he Cologne Gazette says he has dis covered reliable information to the fleet that the French wish to annex he Ruhr and that the installation of heir own customs system is the first tep toward that end.

GERMANS EXULTANT AT
 FALSE PRESS REPORTS
Newspapers at Essen and Dusseldorf Print Stories of Certain War Be-
 tween France and England.

Essen, Feb. tBy Associated Press). .-The Ruhr forgot it's own troubles last evening upon receipt of Lausanne dispatches from German sources, announcing the final break between England and France over the Near East question. "Certain war between Great Brit ain and France" screamed the head lines of one of the newspaper extras. "Ruhr problem nearing solution" announced another. Great crowds gathered in front of the bulletin boards in Essen and Dusseldorf to cheer the reports from Lausanne. For the first time in three weeks there was joy in the Ruhr.
 The population had been waiting in front of the newspaper offices in the expectation that the French ultima tum to Germany would be published.
 When news of break at Lausanne was announced the people were greatly relieved and greeted the bull letins with tumutuous cheers. Ex- tra editions of the Westphalian Ga zette and the Dusseldorf Tageblatt were snapped up promptly at 100 marks the copy.
 Officers on duty at French head quarters volunteered the information that no official advice as to the Franco British break had been rel ceived from Paris and that the joy of the Germans is likely to prove premature.
 We will defeat the French" was the cry heard again and again as patrols of soldiers dispersed the crowd. The population was in good humor, however and taunted the French soldiers without offering any resistance.
 ''Be careful you don't break your neck "a German youth shouted to a French horseman as the latter's mount slipped on the wet pavement and nearly fell. You'll be needed to | defend Calais

CHANCELLOR CUN0 SAYS
 FRENCH ARE IN WRONG
Explains That Their Method Is Not Bad for Germany, But Also
 for Themselves

Berlin, Feb. (By Associated Press) ).-Chancellor Cuno, discussing the Ruhr occupation with dozen American correspondents last eve. ming, summed up the situation by declaring:
 Its bad business---bad for the creditor but worse for the debtor as the former gets nothing while the latter becomes systematically ruined.'
 The chancellor copfned his/ re. marks to an impassioned presenta- ton of the economic aspects of the Ruhr question with reference to their immediate effects on Germany's An ternal situation and her capacity for further reparation payments.
 He gave no hint that Germany con- templates taking the initiative in the present situation. L
 ''Is there." he asked, "a single trace of economic logic or business sense in this armed assault upon one of the worlds most complicated and highly productive industrial areas which is not only pre-eminently quail flied but also obviously destined for active cooperation in the general task of world reconstruction
 Herr Cuno said he believed a few facts and figures would be sufficient to characterize the 'devastating mad ness of the French and Belgian mili- tary authors. He then proceeded to cite statistical data bearing on the cost of the Franco Belgian advance as it compared with the separations defaults for which Germany is being

TROUBLE SEEMS LIKELY
Tension Between Allied Troops and
 Germans Is Growing Worse

London, Feb. 1.-The tension be- tween the allied troops and the popu- latien of Essen is noticeably more marked and is causing concern, says Reuters dispatch from the occupied city. The feeling has been embitter- cd by the numerous deportations which are reliably estimated to ex- ceed so in number. Neutral observ- CTS, the correspondent adds believe that the increased severity of the oc- cupying forces has been largely due to the fact that not d ton of Ruhr coal has gone to France since the occupa. ton.
 A Reuters dispatch from Cologne says the French authorities have in- formed the German newspaper editors that all derogatory references to the French are prohibited.
