AGAINST TERRORISM
Notes to French, British and Belgian
Governments Protest Against
Methods Used in Ruhr.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire. J

Washington, D. C.-The German
government in two notes handed to the
French, British and Belgian govern
ments. has protested against alleged
"terrorizing measures" against Ger
man officials to force their assistance
in the execution of illegal measures"
in connection with the French and Bel
gian occupation of the Ruhr valley and
declared ordinances of the inter-Allied
Rhineland commission covering the
occupation to have no legal value
Both notes, the one relating to or
dinances of the Rhineland commission
also being addressed to the Italian
government, were made public here
last night by the German embassy:
The note delivered to the three pow
ers protested against the expulsion
from occupied territory of German
officials, who, complying with legiti-
ment refuse Ito render assistance in
the execution of ordinances issued con-
trary to treaties and to international
laws" Such steps, the obvious aim,
of which, it was said, was the "inti-
midation" of other officials, were be-
ing taken, the note added, with utter
disregard and brutality"
Setting forth the German position
on the Rhineland commission ordi-
nances, the other note declared the
stipulations of the Rhineland conven-
ton are "transgressed by every one
of the ordinances issued" by the com
mission on January Is and 18, cover
ing the occupations The ordinances,
the note declares, violate in the ''grav-
est manner the administrative and
financial sovereignty of Germany" and
the German government and the gov
ernments of the various states shave
pointed out" to their officials that they
have no legal value and are not to be
complied with

The opening strains of the national
anthem from the smartest of French
military bands blared out through
the packed square at Coblenz prompt
ly at noon.
The Stars and Stripes on the tall
fag-pole futtered an instant as two
American machine gunners, honor men,
who had come through Chateau,
Thierry, pulled gently on the. ropes.
A French and American military
guard was rigid at attention as the flag
came down. Crowds of Germans and
French, many with wet eyes, pushed
forward to witness the ceremony.
The huge flag sank slowly to the foot
of the pole, where Gen. Allen, COM
manding the last remnant Of, the
American army of occupation, caught
it in his arms and folded it.
The anthem came to an end with a
crash of cymbals and a great blare of
brass. Our flag was no longer there.
The ceremony signifed the formal
departure of the last of Americas

ToDAYs QUESTION:

IOOf1 - " OGo 41ONs
A stort time ago we asked women
if they thought women could spend
money wisely. Tonight we asked
five men if they thought women
could spend money wisely.
THE ANSWERS:
G. Peterson, MapIewood avenue,
electrician: Whether woman can
spend money wisely or not depends
entirely upon the woman There are
some women who can spend money as
wisely as some men. Others waste
it on clothes that they do not need
and others frivolities.
j. K, Milwaukee avenue; A wo-
man is capable of spending money
wisely as any man, providing Of
course that she does not let her de-
sires surpass her means. There are a
good many men who cannot spend
money wisely, too. Why not ask if
men can spend money wisely.
Ted Williamson, $40 Church st;
Some women can spend, money wisely
and others can't. Most women do
not. They see something that APP
peals to them and they buy it whet-
her they need it or not. If they don't
let their fancies run away with them,
they can spend as wisely as anyone.
Leland Surendonk, Racine, motor
assembler; Some can and some can't.
However, there are very few that
really can. / do not think that the
young girl Of today can. There is
too much flapper in them. Every
thing that they see, they want, pro-
viding that it looks good.

BLAINE ORDERS

Tells District Attorneys That They
Must Appeal to Courts for
Executions at Once.

Madison, Wis.-In an effort to col
lect unpaid liquor law fines in Wis
consin, Governor ]. j. Blaine today
wrote all, district attorneys asking that
in all cases where fines are imposed
and not collected, to move the court
to direct execution wheye there is
property subject to levy and sale on
examination.
"The court in imposing a fine, i'm
poses it with the idea of collecting
it." the governor declared. "Other-
wise the imposition Of fine is no punt
ishment in itself. When imposed for
other motives than punishment by
payment there is a grave question as
to the honesty and integrity of the
sentenceR
The belief that the school funds
were being deprived of<revenue due to
fines not being paid, was expressed by

Mayence.- Fritz Thyssen and the
five other German industrialists
charged by the French with refusing
to cooperate with the French plans for
delivery of PREPARATIONS coal from the
Ruhr valley, were all found guilty by
d court martial here today. Fines were
inflicted. Herr Thyssen was fined 5,100
francs; Herr Olfe 224,300 francs; Herr
Spind1er 47,752 francs; Herr Kesten
was fined 1882 francs; Herr Wuesten-
hoefer of the Essen Mine association

the Essen Anthracite Coal company
5000 francs.
At noon it was apparent that the six
German mine magnates faced only fines
for their refusal to obey French de-
mands. The prosecutor at the close of
the forenoon session suggested he was
inclined to leniency because Of the
patriotic motives of the Germans.
Thyssen States Stand.
Thyssen under questioning admitted
having refused on January 18th at
Bredeny to obey an order given by the
occupation authorities for the delivery
of coal. Il am German ard~nry~ duty
compels me to obey the orders of my
country and to serve my country" he
said. "The entry of troops into the
Ruhr was not justified by anything.
That is why will remain faithful to
my fatherland."
The other prisoners gave their assent
to Thyssen's statement.

FOR MEMORIAL
Snow Fails to Stop Work on
Building in Memory of
Washington.

Excavation for the proposed George
Washington memorial at 9Th and B
streets northwest is well under way
and. despite the brief snowstorm to-
day, the big steam shovel was to be
seen closing its huge iron jaws around
the tenacious frozen earth. scooping it
up into waiting trucks, ready to be
carried away.
A large fence is in process of being
built around the lot which is expected
to be completed either tomorrow or
the next day. Workmen are finding
the task exceedingly difficult, due to
the frozen ground. but are sticking to
their job with fortitude.
The cornerstone, which was laid more
than a year ago when President Hard
ing, Gen. Pershing and other notableS
oflciated, Is taking on an air Of inn
portance now. Heretofore, it has stood
out on the vacant lot.
The nemoriaI when competed will
! cost approximately $8.000.000. The need
! Of this kind of a memorial where a
large auditorium will be placed avail
! able for the seating Of many thousand
people has long been felt In the nations
capital. The building will be suitable
for the holding of numerous conventions.
Among other features OF the building,
a room will be devoted to the soldiers,
sailors and marines who from all the
states Of the Union were called Upon to
make the supreme sacrifice for their
flag during the world war. Each state
will have represented, by both silver and
/ gold stars her wartime heroes.
Mrs. Henry F. Dimock. one Of the
! heads of the building association and
originator Of the idea itself, stated
| today that contracts had been COM
! pleted for the excavation work. and
that in short time she hoped the
final plans and contracts for the build
ing itself would be completed. She
stated that now the people Of the
city and the nation as we'll must see
that the project was no myth, but
! reality, and literally respond by sub
scriptions.
Work has indeed started" she said.
i"and it is up to every individual to
take part in the great memorial
building. It will be one of the finest
buildings in the world, and it is the
duty OF every citizen to do what he
or she can. A building to be of such
service and to memorialize the father
Of our country, whose anniversary
we will celebrate Thursday. should
be made worthy in every respect, and
only by the full cooperation of each
and every one can the project be real
! ized in the finest way"
