GERMANY REFUSES
COAL TO FRANCE.

BERLIN, Jan. 15.-(By the AS
sociated Press) 1.-THE German coal
commission has prohibited coal own
ers of Ruhr from supplying coal and
coke to France and Belgium, even
il payment is made for the fuel.
This stiffening attitude by the
German government was expected
here to precipitate drastic action by
the French government.
Great demonstrations of protest
against the French occupation Of the
Ruhr took place today. There were
no untoWard incidents.
There were striking displays of
patriotic fervor. Bright but frosty
weather prevailed.
The principal meeting called by
the non-sociaIist paties, was held on
the Koenigpiatz, opposite the Reich
stag. This proved to be one of the
most imposing manifestations in
Berlin. Before noon an immense
crowd already had assembled about
great monument to victory, erected
after the Franco-Russian war. Flags
were half-staffed on government
buildings, and for the first time since
the republic was established the re-
publican colors were prominently dis
played at many of the fashionable
hotels.
The crowd was Composed Of mid
die class people, dressed their Sun
day best. The speeches were ac-
claimed with proletarian enthusiasm.
Die Wacht Am Rhine and Deutsch-
land Ubcr Allies were repeatedly
sung, amid cries Of down with
France" Resolutions of protest
against the French occupation were
carried by acclamation.
Chancellor Cuno had been invited
to attend the Koenigsplatz demon
s.ration but he excused himself by
pleading pressure of business. The
gathering dispersed in orderly fash
ion singing patriotic songs.

THE RING AROUND
E.SSEN TIGHTENED.

ESSEN, Jan. 15.-(By the Asso-

of front by coal magnates and the
reputation of the agreement to re-
sumo coal deliveries, the French to-
day reinforced its occupation move
ment. Troops with tanks We're
moved up from the old zone and the
ring around Essen was frightened.
There was half an hour stoppage
of work in this big industrial center
today as a protest against the occu-
patton by French. While in progress,
the crowd carried out an anti
French demonstration outside of the
French headquarters with speeches
and songs.

LUTHER ALLISON HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Burned AT Early Hour Monday
Morning Originating From
An Oil Steve

Fire, said to have originated from
an oil stove, destroyed the home OF
Luther Allison situated two miles
from Americus out on the Smith
vile highway early this morning.
The bright light was plainly visi.
bic in the city. The fire was first
discovered about 4 o'clock. Although
out of the city limits, Fire Chief
w. P. Macarthur made a run out to
this home, thinking he might be able
to save the barn and other outhouses.
When the chief arrived on the scene,
the roof was falling in, and moth
ing was saved from the burning
residence.
It is said that the loss of the resi-
dcnce and its contents will amount
to about $4,000.

and would start the processes Of in
dustry in central Europe.
Italy has demonstrated that at
least its new rulers have honesty of
purpose in public services, and tc-
nacity Of will that promises sound
national progress.
If France seems today to tend
toward dreams Of gnilitarism, we
may be sure that the day will come
soon with its old true perspective of
It's proper place and mission Some
just and fair way will be devised to
secure from Germany the restitution
to which France is entitled, and
within the limits of Germany's eff
forts in good faith to pay. Relieved
IF its traditional fear of unprovoked
attack, and with the unrivaled will
ingness of its people at home to
work and save, France viii vindicate
in national progress, our confidence
and trust.
Great Britain, taxing its people at
rate which can be laid indeed on
few peoples without rebellion, is
working its way slowly back to its
former dominant position in world
trade and finance. A measure Of its
recovery is the steady march TO gold
parity of the pound sterling.
Fever of War Gone
Summarizing Europe as a whole,
the fevef of war is out Of the
blood of its peoples.
There is clear indication of the al
most universal desire to work and
to produce.
Those countries that have devel-
oped sound financial policies and
honest practices, like any thrifty in
dividual, are working their way back
to normal and healthy life.
Their progress is shown by the
gold parity of their cumencies,
spelling ability to trade overseas, to
exchange commodities, to supply the
wants of their people and to sell the
products of their own industries.
Some Solid Nations
Switzerland, Holland, Sweden and
Japan, together with Canada and the
United States, are islands of honest
administrative functionng which are
recording their currency denomina-
tions on the parity of gold.
Spain and Great Britain lack but
small per cent of full recovery.
When Great Britain attains the
nominal gold parity, then there will
be resumed the liquid flow of gold
in settlement of gold balances, the
breaking down of trade barriers and
the elimination of trade hazards
Then the wheels Of world industry
will revolve with new activity
Those who forecast the economic
collapse of Europe, even those who
doubt its steady progress toward GER
tain recovery, fail to grasp the fun
damentals on which human activi-
ties are sustained.
Figures of coal output, of railroad
transport, of steel output, of textile
operations-alI the indices which
measure the opportunities for
employment Of peoples-today trend
in the right direction.

Pessimistic View

A pegsimist would make this re-
sumo Of Europe:
The Turk, traditional barbarian, IS
back in Europe, arrogant and def
ant. claiming the right TO close by
Notifications the open seaway Of the
Dardanelles. ...
Greece, stripped Of its newly ac-
quired expansion, visits its wrath
/ with middle-age savagery upon its
luckloss public officials.
The Balkan states, ancient cradle
of world wars, fuctuate between un-
sound social experiments and tenn
pests of popular passion against min
istries.
Russia makes boasts Of armed
force with its mythical armies, whele
its millions Of people prepare for a
Now famine.
Austria, content as the nterna-
tional mondicaut, awaits the out
come of financial and economic ad-
ministrations by more competent peo-
pies.
Germany, a formerly great and
competent people brought almost to
a state of national beggary,
Italy, boasting since Garibaldi a
constitution under which the League
Of Italian States has grown into a
great nation, sees today the seizure
Of power by the Fascist without con-
stitutiOnal warrant.
France, blind to the economic les
son of history that no victor can col
lcct so per cent and more of the en-
tire wealth of vanQ@ished people,
refuses to face the realities and con-
tinues to spend vast sums in excess
Of current resources.
Great Britain, dependent for its
prosperity on the full employment Of
It's people, facing today almost the
largest problem of unemployment in
its history.
Optimistic View
-'"S IlICIG is q JllOLc It-tI anu HDbc-
ful aspect
The Turk will be held at the Dar-
danelles by the reunited Christian
nations of Europe until there are as
surances given civilization that bar
barous atrocities shall not be re-
enacted.
Greece will resume its normal and
proper place in the cosiety of ma
tions.
The Balkan states have learned
the need of economic unity. Mutual
agreements facilitating the flow Of
transportation and the commodities
Of transport are reducing traditional
antagonisms.
Russia is able now to paTtake liz
tie Of the diet of national and indi-
yldual respect for pledges and for
private property, which more ad-
vanced peoples learned centuries
ago.
Germany has so discredited the eX.
| pertinent and tenets of socialisr
that, today, the Socialistic party re
fuses the responsibilities of the pres
ent government. A settlement oI
the reparaticns question within th'
practical limits of the honest attemp
Of the German people to perform
