GLOOMY PICTURES
painted OF RUHR.
Correspondent Fears Outbreak,
With Fearful Results in BloodShed

London. March s. tBy Associated
I'ress) Gloomy pictures of the stu
alton In the Rnhr, with warnings OF
an impending crisis, are painted today
by some OF the London newspaper
correspondents.
Situation Dangerous.
A dusseldorf despatch to the
Telegraph says that unemployment is
increasing and that the political stu
alton is dangerous. Economic cond-
tons he describes as disastrous, as
sorting that twenty-five thousand per-
sons are without work In Dusseldorf
alone and that the unemployment
wages are insufficient. The workmen
are noticeably depressed. the corre-
spondent adds, and rumors are cur
rent that they are beginning to
doubt the issue Of the struggle.
Soup Kitchens Popular
The French, this despatch asserts,
are preparing to deal with the food
problem which will undoubtedly arise
with the increase of unemployment.
The soup Kitchens. boycotted at first.
are now popular.
Daily Express reports that conditions
in Essen and Bochum are pitiful and
that the death rate among the chill
dren has risen twenty per cent in the
last month and milk is almost unob-
tainable. The phrase hunger block
ade" is on the lips of the whole Ger
man population.
Bitterness Increases
The French military authorities
have given definite orders to admit
all foodstuffs to the cities but some
of the trucks never arrive and part
of the shipments are stolen. Educa-
ton, the correspondent adds. is at
standstill. for the French have occu-
pied the schools. The passing of each
day finds public feeling more embit-
tered.
Bloodshed Is Feared.
The impression that the cauldron
in the Ruhr may boil over at any time
with fearful results in bloodshed" is
expressed by the Cologne representa-
tive of the Westminster Gazette. He
continues:
1T is the opinion of those best able
to judge that unless an agreement is
soon reached it can only be matter
of time before another war breaks
out. xxx am told that France
would not hesitate to declare war and
bomb the German cities, including
Berlin, if her forces are attacked"
The correspondent adds that it is
only fair to point out that many re-
ports of this character may be trac-
ed to German sources. He asserts
that the difficulty of obtaining reli-
able information because of the sew
erance of communications is being
constantly emphasized.

TENDS TO ELIMINATE POVERTY

So much has been printed adverse
to the Nolstead act that it is worth
while to note when somebody is able
to produce conclusive evidence on the
other side. DR.. Thomas J.. Riley, gen
eral secretary of the Brooklyn Bureau
of Charities, quote figures to prove
that prohibition is checking poverty.
Drunkenness used to account for y
per cent of the needy cases reported
to his department as long ago as 1916,
whereas for 1922 it was the cause of
distress in only four per cent of the
reports.
The favorable showing is not pecu-
liar to the metropolis, however.
Drunkenness as a disability that
brings people to the family welfare
society has shown a similar decrease
in other places, as the following fig
ures for 1919, when national prohibi-
ton went into effect, and 1921 will
show: In Cleveland the percentage
dropped from Ills in 1919 to POI in
1921; in Boston from 1853 to 2.2S; in
st. Louis from SOB to 10; in Mil
waukee from 9.64 to 3.45; i'm New
Haven, Conn, 1870 to 3; and in
Rochester, ~. y, 1913 to 3.8. A
similar reduction is shown i'm %
cities for which the figures have been
compiled recently.
The prohibition amendment has de
prived a host of people of harmless
social glass, and its administration
has been attended with shameful
abuses, but IF drunkenness is disap-
pearing to a considerable extent
