RUHR RESISTANCE
GROWING STRONGER
More Sabotage Reported.
Germans Cut Rhine Cable
of 125 Wires.
By the Associate Press

By the Associated Press.
ESSEN, February 21.-German re-
sistance in the Ruhr valley is in
creasing as result of renewed es-
forts by the Berlin government to
keep in touch with the Ruhr workers
and assure them as far as possible
that it is continuing to stand behind
them. French intelligence officers
have seized sets of books and
booklets giving detailed instructions
to the workers, encouraging them to
stick to the fight against the occupa-
tion and bidding them obey no orders
of the French.
The latest propaganda move by the
Berlin government is believed here to
have resulted III increased determina-
ton to maintain resistance and to
have stimulated individual sabotage
AS an example 125 wires of the Rhine
telegraph and telephone service were
cut today at Dusseldorf. These wires
were in cable which had just been
repaired after it's cutting a fortnight
ago. The cable runs up and down the
Rhine and has an extension to Berlin.

PEOPLE GROWING TIRED.
Governmental Policy Forcing
Showdown in Reichstag.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1923.
BERLIN. February 27.-Despite all
official denials of the inclination on
the part of the German government
to mediate with France. it Is getting
more obvious daily that people here
are gradually growing tired of Chan
cellor Cunp's policy of passive re-
sistance
Six weeks of eternal declarations
by the government that it would not
yield on the reparations question
have exhausted the patience of the
public. since no real results have been
obtained. and it is generally believed
that the French will stay in the
Ruhr for many months and possibly
many years, regardless OF the Berlin
governments policy.
For that reason the demand that
the United States or England should
be asked to intervene is being heard
among wide circles of the populace.
and it is expected that the question
Of intervention will come up before
the reichstag soon. 1t is especially
the socialistic party which demands
a change of the governments present
policy, or if necessary, q change of
the cabinet itself.
