ny AssOclAteu Nfc"H
 DUSSELDORF, Jan. 14.-Boch- um, the great center of the Stinnes industries, will be occupied a few days hence, the French have decided, unless the German government un- dergoes a change of heart and aban- dons it's policy of interference and opposition. While the French authori- ties do not announce the date of the advance, bu tmake no secret of the fact that they have decided to extend the occupation farther eastward to coerce Germany into paying the Ruhr industrials for the coal repara- tions deliveries and as penalties for what they term willful failure of Berlin to fulfill it's undertakings.
 Concerning coal deliveries, which the Ruhr industrials have agreed to resume, France undertakes to pay the cost of labor and the salaries of the employees and miners; only the owners must look to Berlin for overhead expenses and the other items which make up the price of the coal delivred f. o. b. at the French frontier.
 Assist Owners
 The French are prepared to assist the owners in collecting from Berlin to the extent of occupation of the Bochum region and also further ter rtory eastward later. should Ger many fail to come to terms. They Nill pay the miners salaries from the proceeds of the tax on coal, for merly assessed by the Reich govern ment, which the French have de- cided to collect for themselves. They will levy a tax on every ton of coal shipped from the Ruhr into Ger many. Bavaria and neutral countries. The percentage representing the tax has not yet been fixed No tax will be assessed on coal shipped to the allied countries.
 Intended As Penalty
 The occupation of Bochum also is intended as a penalty for what the French consider the willful depletion by the Germans of food stores, espe- cially cereals, always kept in the Ruhr for feeding the industrial popu- lation, which the French assert they have found at such low ebb that arrangements must be made imme- diately to import wheat and other foodstuffs into this area.
 Above all the French are desirous of warding off unemployment and famine: if such conditions arose they would be certain to cause much trou- ble. but they can be kept away if la bor has work and food.
 The problem of currency is giving the French much concern, as Berlin is no longer sending paper marks into the Ruhr occupied area, and the present supply will become made uuate very soon. s Experts are study ing a plan whereby special Ruhr pa per notes. guaranteed by the mines, plants and other real estate security in the Ruhr valley. would be issued and would be accepted as currency in the Ruhr alone. The Krupp and Thyssen works yesterday withdrew from the Essen banks 2,000,000.000 marks for their pay rolls; they were informed that the banks would be unable to supply them similarly next

There has been some n1iSunder-

charge of the campaign. Some of
those who might be interested are
of the opinion that members of the
staff of the society are not gradu-

not that of registered nurse. To
correct this impression officials of
the society today told of the re-
quirements set forth before admis-
sion to the staff is granted.
Each member must be a graduate
nurse from an accredited hospital,
and must be registered as having
passed the required examination of
the State boards. Each nurse is
carefully examined before being ac-
