French Worried by Reports
of Obstruction by
Germans.

Paris, Jan. 2O.-France was thrilled
tonight by word, as yet not officially
confirmed, that Marshal Foch, gen.
eralissimo of Allied armies during the
world war, is on his way to the Ruhr
to take personal charge of the French
army of occupation.
No other move could have so poig-
nsntly gripped the attention Of the man
in the street. Foch, idol of his country,
symbolizes war.
The French feel that the situation
in the newly-occupied territory is crlti-
cal.
A constant succession OF reports from
various sources, detailing German steps
10 obstruct the invaders in their pur-
pose, poured into Paris this evening.
Among them were:

for Monday.

and other parts of Germany are pre-
pairing to descend upon the Ruhr &C.
cupation force and annihilate the in
vaders.
8. Telegraph and telephone operators
and train dispatchers in the Ruhr have
refused to obey orders of the French
and many have been arrestet..
4. An organized movement to boycott
French and Belgians is under way,
spreading through out Germany. Ho-
tells are barring nationals of France
and Belgium and their movements in
Berlin are circumscribed.
5. Workmen in coke pits and huge
smelling plants in the occupied zones
are laying down their tools increasing
numbers.
6. Private banks are closing their
doors following seizure of Richsbank
branch by the French.
Conditions such as those make con-
slant trouble for the engineers, and
troops have confiscated coal barges, tax
offices, banks. fuel trains, automobile
conyeyances and other properties in
their efforts to enforce reparations pay
