MAY RESUME PREPARATIONS.
Commission Promulgates Two ordi-

CORLENZ, March 1.-THE inter
allied Rhineland commission today
promulgated two ordinances with a
view to assuring resumption of rep
arations In kind from Germany.
One prescribes the seizure in the oc-
cupied territories of machinery and
other objects. also animals belonging
to the German government and ear
marked for restitution in conformity
with the treaty of Versailles.
The other authorizes seizure OF
goods and property belonging to the
allied governments or their nationals
in these territories but not in their
possession. Declaration of possession
Of such articles must be made to the
interallied commission. the ordinance
provides.
The latter ordinance aims at coun-
teracting the orders issued bF the
German government that It's nationals
refuse to deliver TO the Franco-BeI-
siap authorities goods contracted
for on the reparations account. Ihe
penalty l<oscribed by the ordinance
for such refusal ls nne OF oV'-
600, 900 marks or imprisonment for
not more than five years.
The state of seige which was pro-
claimed in Coblenz has been extended
now to Ehrenbreitstein, where general
traffic Is prohibited between ten O'Clock
at night and six o'clock in the morn
Ing. This action, according to the
Germans, Is due to the wounding of a
French soldier by two E.hrenbreitstein
boys.
The boys beat a woman they had Just
seen with the soldier and the latter
was disar1ned and wounded when he
hurried to her assistance. His assailants
as we'll as two policemen, were arrested
and taken to Mayence.

ESSEN, March 1.-THE Ruhr is calm
but the possibility Of a sudden out
break still exists. Although the news
papers declare the situation is more
acute they do not indicate any new
source Of trouble.
Coal now is being taken from two
mines by the French. One Of the
mines is near Essen and the other is
at Bottrop. The French have arrested
several men in Dusseldorf on the charge
Of sabotage. They are accused Of tam
pering with the telegraph system, the
penalty for which is hard labor for
life.
The controversy over responsibility
for the shooting of the two French
men at Buer last week Is still pro-
ceeding. The Germans have pro-
duced witnesses, who aver the assail-
ants were French deserters. but the
French state the bullets were from
revolvers such as are used by the
German security police.

on Outlying Highways

Commissioner Oyster is giving seri-
Gus consideration to the recommenda-
tions of the traffic committee that the
automobile speed limit be made twen-
ty miles in the city proper and twenty
Ave miles on outlying highways.
The Commissioner intimated yes

such a regulation in its recommends

Capt. Oyster said he is much con-

believes, should be restricted in speed
because Of their size and weight.

than glance through the committees
