Fear Of disapproval Of the low In

over the entire sixty -two-year period

States is paying on its obligations.
2. Exactly how the amortization of
the principal Of the debt will work.
3. Whether the British government
had indicated its intention of taking
advantage of the privilege of amortiz.
ating the principal in a shorter time.
4. Upon what basic rate Of exchange
is to be made; that is, will it be in
dollars or pounds sterling.

The whole attitude Of the invad-
ers was reported as more severe than
hitherto.
The rich Ruhr valley, whence Ger
MANY ordinarily draws more than
half her entire fuel supply, was COM
pletely cut off from the rest Of the
country. Not an ounce of coal was
permitted to leave the district for
German destinations.
At the same time German Gus
toms stations which formerly had
served for collections on goods
entering the country from Belgium.
France and Luxumberg were taken
over entirely by tins French. The
latter replaced with troops and
French civilians such employees as
quit, and proceeded Immediately
about the business OF collecting Gus
toms.
More and more French troops moved
into the Ruhr district today, until re-
ports from certain districts made it
appear as though the occupation had
just begun. Among the forces that
were sent in, however, were included
many troops trained in railroad work.
Essen, central city of Ruhr fuel in
dustry, bore the brunt of the invasion.
Completely isolated from the outside
world as far as rail or wire communi-
cation were concerned. the city even
began to feel the pinch of hunger.
The entire Ruhr was not without
touch of this, in fact. With transpor-

family Of Charles F. Hilkene escaped
from the second floor Of a two-story

filled the second floor. They made
their way down a smoke-fIled stair
way, taking time only to wrap some
bed clothing around them.
Six Miles in Seven Minutes
Almost 100 men and boys formed
a bucket brigade. A hand pump also
was used. The Indianapolis Head

tion Of the building. but a serious
neighborhood fire. The flames had
threatened to spread. Some stock in
the Rethmey store was carried out,
but damage was heavy. Damage to
