INGENIOUS THIEVES
USE ENGINEERING TO
GET TO LIQUOR CELLAR
Use Hose to Syphon $245,-
900 Worth of Liquor
Through Tunnel.

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. S.-Digging a
tunnel $50 feet long and three feet wide
from a cellar of house to the ware
house of the Stewart Distilling com
panys' plant, in Highland Town, a
suburb, band of liquor thieves, with
the aid of a rubber hose as "pipe
line" and suction pump, svphoned
more than 100 barrels of whiskey. The
robbery was discovered when police, act
ing on a tip from an unknown source,
forced an entrance into the dwelling on
South street. The liquor was valued
at upwards Of $245,O00.
The house, according to the police,
is owned by Christian Nnson, but as
yet no information has been obtained
as to where he can be found.
The digging of the tunnel, according
to police, must have occupied at least
a month, and was supervised by per-
son of engineering skill, as the walls
and ceiling of the passage were properly
lined with timber to prevent a possible
cave-in. The robbers had cut n hole
through a thick stone foundation to gain
entrance to the warehouse.

last more than a few months" The
world war lasted more than four years,
the students of politics point out and
they say that the present economic
struggle may just as likely continue for
long time.
Just as in the world war. it is a
question as to who can carry on the
longest and at whose disposal are the
largest resources and the greatest power
of moral and physical resistance. Ac-
cOrding to German opinion France is
already suffering more from lack Of
coke which the Alsace-LOrraine ore in
dustrials need vitality, than is unoc-
cupied Germany from the coal short
age. Coke shipments from Czechoslova
kia have been stopped entirely by the
German railroads and what little coke
France may be able to obtain from
Great Britain Is not worth mentioning,
German experts declare. They point out
that already thirty blast furnaces in
Lorraine have had to close.
Germany Feeling Coal Shortage.
Germany on the other hand, has not
yet felt any such serious effects from
the coal blockade by the French al
though stringent measures TO economic
in coal consumption have already been
adopted by the government. However,
reports from Hamburg say that the
shipbuilding yards are beginning to suf-
fer from the reduced coal supplies and
are planning to reduce their production
radically for the next few months.
Arnold Rechberg. well known in
dustrialist. writes that the French and
German iron, steel and coal interests
will have TO get together sooner or
later as the consequences of pro
longed blockade so soon after the war
might prove fatal to both. In dealing
with this particular phase of the Ruhr
cccunatiOn. Herr Rechberg says:

cally the SHINES combine had the same

sol,Sation of the German coal ana
French ore Enthusiastically that the
situation is reversed. Now the trench
want TO be in control OF this trust.
Germans Refuse Peaceful Proposals:
AT first the French tried to attain
this end peacefully. They approached
Hugo SHINES and other industrialists
with propositions by which the merger
was to be concluded with sixty per cent
of the property in the hands OF the
French and only 40 per cent for the
Germans. The negotiations were car
ried on for long time, but the Ger
mans were stubborn in refusing the
proposals. Not only that but the Ger
man industrialist newspapers carried
on a vicious campaign against the
French ore industries.
"The German interests never dreamed
that the French industrialists would
seek to achieve their ends with the aid
of the French government which has
now occupied the Ruhr coal district.
The French will not leave the Ruhr
without having accomplished something
definite. But as the French franc is
dropping as well as the German mark
and as French industries are being
handicapped, it will benefit French in
dustries to reach an understanding with
German interests which will give both
side sequal rights. Such an agreement
would solve the Ruhr question once for
all and both Germany and France
would profit by it."
