"BEGGER-RLOCKADE"
WORDS ON LIPS OF
The RUHR GERMANS
Unemployment Grows and
Food Shortage Is
Imminent.

London. Maroii S.--Gloomy pictures
of the situation in the Ruhr, with
warnings OF an impending crisis. are
painted today by some OF the Lon
don newspaper correspondents.
\ Dusseldorf dispatch to the Tel
egraph says that unemployment is in
crcasing and that the political situa-
ton is dangerous. Economic condi-
tons he describes as disastrous, as
sorting that $4,000 persons are with
out work in dusseldorf alone. and
that the unemployment wages are in
sufficient The workmen are notice
ably depressed the correspondent
adds. and rlimors are current that
they are beginning 10 doubt the issue
of the struggle.
The French, this dispatch asserts.
are preparing TO deal with the food
problems which will undoubtedly arise
with the increase of unemployment.
Their soup kitchens. boycotted at
first. are now. popular.
The Cologne correspondent OF the
| Daily Express reports that conditions
in Essen and Bochum are pitiful and
| that the death rate among the chill
drcn has risen 20 per cent in the
last month, and milk is almost un-
obtainable. The phrase "biggcr-block-
ade" is on the lips of the whole Ger
man population. 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 arc stolen.
Education. the correspondent adds.
is at n standstill. for the French have
occupied the schools. The passing of
each day finds the public feeling more
embittered.
The impression that "the cauldrcn
in the Ruhr may boil over at any
time with fearful results in bloodshed"
is expressed by the Cologne rcprescn-
taiive Of the Westminster Gazette.
He continues:

Mrs. Saludes guilty debated nearly five
hours. mostly. it is believed, over the
degree of murder.
Only one man was said to have
stood for first degree murder and the
electric chair.
Nearly half the jury at first voted
for manslaughter, carrying light
sentence.
In reaching its verdict the jury
eliminated the plea of her attorney
that she was temporarily insane when
she killed the man who. he claimed.
had robbed her first Of her husband
then her affections. next her property.
and finally cast her aside.
The dark hours in t'e tombs were
