RUHR INVASION
HURTSSW|SS !.
HOTELS
Many Trains Cancelled Since
German Territory Was oc-
cupied by French.
BY HARRY r.. FLORY,
international News 6ervice.

BASEL, Switzerland, May a.
Occupation of the Ruhr by the
French has ruined Switzerland's
tourist traffic.
That's the plant of the poor
Swiss hotel managers who stand in
the deserted Hobbies of their estab-
liShments and relate their tales OF
woe to anyone and everyone who
is willing to listen,
Next to differing a detachment
of Switzerland's superb universal
army, managing a hotel full OF
tourists is the profession dearest to
the heart of every native Of this
mountainous country. And when
that business goes ION the bum"
the whole country suffers.
Many Trains Cancelled.
The Ruhr occupation resulted in
the cancellation of dozens or
through express trains which used
to bring tourists to Switzerland
from Denmark, Norway, Sweden
and Holland. On account of this
disruption of traffic these people
now either stay at home or leave
Switzerland out of their itinerary.
Basel has always been known as
the. northern gateway of SWltzer-
land. Before the Ruhr occupation
it was one OF the biggest railroad
centers in Europe. Cancellation of
trains from Brussels,
Ostend, Berlin and Frankfort has
taken away much of it's prestige.
Service is still being maintained
to these points, but it is very un-
certain, slow and irregular. A train
leaving Basel at 10 o'clock in the
morning formerly arrived in Frank
fort, Germany, at $50 in the eve
ming. The same train, rerouted by
the Germans, now arrives in Frank
fort at 10 o'clock in the evening.
StOpoVer Point.
Basel is not one of Switzerland's
favorite resorts, but the city's few
first-class hotels used to do a thriv-
ing business with tourists who
stopped over at least one night on
their way in or out of the country.
The Scandinavians and the Hol-
landers formed large part of this
class, the Americans and English
running on through on half-hour
train connections. Now, with the
Scandinavians and the Hollanders
hotel managers have to be
satisfied if they fill thirty or forty
of their 800 to 400 rooms nightly.

SEEKING To BAR.
LEVIATHAN
At NY.
British interests Would Compel
Big American Ship to Dock
in Hoboken.

NEW YORK. May British
shipping interests, it Is learned, are
waging a fight to prevent the Lee
viathan from obtaining docking
space on the Manhattan water
front when that big liner is put
in commission this summer under
the American flag.
They are also seeking to drive
from the New York shore the
United American Lines, operating
under the American and Pananan
flags, and to force these vessels
as we'll as the great Leviathan to
take refuge on the. Hoboken shores,
where they will be at serious dis
advantage in competing with the
big European lines.
Fight for Supremacy.
The fight to preserve undisputed
British supremacy on the Manhat-
tan water front has thus far taken
the form of objection by the Cunard
Line and the international Mercan.
tile Marine, which controls the
White Star Line, to an application
made to the city by the United
American Lines, with a clause pro-
viding for joint usage by that COM
pany and the United States Lines,
which will operate the Leviathan
for the Shipping Board.
In support of that objection, 1T
is learned the Cunard and Interna'
tional Mercantile Marine interests
contend, that before Pier" So was
completed by the city there was
an implied understanding between
their lines and the city officials that
they were to be permitted 20 use 1t.
They claim similar implied
understanding in connection with
Pier 49, North River. which is near.
ing completion, and is the only
other pier on the New York water
front available for the Leviathan.
Sought by Lasker.
The length Of each of these piers
is 1000 feet, which makes them
superior to the Chelsea Piers, now
being used by the Cunard and l.
M. M. interests, who assert they
want the new piers for the Ma
jestic, Olympic, Aquitania and
Berengaria.
Chairman Lasker, of the United
States Shipping Board, declared
some time ago in a letter to the
city dock department that If the
Leviathan is to have a fair chance
to compete with the foreign liners.
she must have a pier on the New
York side.
The situation rests with the sink
ing fund commission, to which
Dock Commissioner John H. De-
laney has addressed a letter urging
granting of the United American
Lines request. A court fight may
follow.

The Washington times., 1923-05-02

Poison Starts to Leave the Sys-
tenn Within Twenty-fOur Hours.
Every druggist in this country is
authorized to say to every rheu-
matte sufferer that il a full pint
bottle Of Allenrhu, the sure con-
queror Of rheumatism, does not
show the way to stop the agony,
reduce swollen joints and do away
with even the slightest twinge of
rheumatic pain, he will gladly re-
turn your money without comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re.
suits have been accomplished in
the most severe cases where the
suffering and agony were intense
and piteous and where the patient
was helpless.
Mr.. James H. Allen, of Rochester,
N Y, the discoverer OF Allenrhu
who for many years suffered the
torments of acute rheumatism, de-
gires all sufferers to know that he
does not want a cent OF anyone's
money unless Allenrhu decisively
conquers this worst of all diseases,
and he has instructed druggists to
guarantee it as above in every in
stance.

Called Disaster for West.


Called Disaster for West.
81 do not think there is any
considerable difference of opinion
among students of the situation that
the removal of the transportation
capitals half thousand miles
from their present location would
be a disaster to the Western re-
gions. / think this is particularly
SO to the southwestern region. We
have built up great markets for
the products of these regions.
ITO weaken these markets would
be to weaken development of the
Southwest. This is not to say that
the transportation situation is ideal
as it stands. All of us know better
than that. I have had part in the
discussion of differences in opinion
as between interior distributing
centers and the cities on the two
rivers. Wichita and Oklahoma
City. Topeka and Joplin and other
important cities of the West and
Southwest may fairly complain of
some phases of the present situa-
ton, but / would much rather deal
with the present conditions in an
effort to remedy such complaints as
the interior cities have than to
throw the seat of adjustment far
beyond the natural limits of our
own territory.
For these reasons / am un-
qualifiedly opposed to the further
Capitalization of the transportation
interests of the country which
would more than ever favor in
dustrial development in regions
more remote from u.s."

 FISHING TREATY

WASHINGTON, Feb, 2S-Aided by the Washington State delegation, Dele gate from Alaska, Dan Sutherland is making valiant fight to obtain the ratification of the fishing treaty be- tween the United States and Canada which calls for a closed season on the Alaska halibut banks during the sea- son the fish are spawning The entire north Pacific ocean is included in the scope of the treaty.

Sims, majority leader, and Representative Adam Beeler, Of Seattle.
 A bombshell dropped among the members could not have caused great CT consternation or created a more startling feeling than when the allega- tion was made; the house becoming an uproar of protest in an instant. Re criminations; declarations of spite work and other disrupting statements were made by various members, who aligned themselves either in favor of Clifford or Sims
 Both belligerents showed signs oi battle before quiet was restored, with the chair announcing that an investi- gation would be held before an ad- iournment was taken, the charges be- ing too broad to be passed over with an apology, if one was due.
