to permit the sale of light wines and

In the discussion of prohibition, Will

"More whiskey glasses are now be-
ing made than in pre-prohibition days,

WILDWOOD REAL ESTATE IN
DEMAND

One of the local real estate dealers
received a letter last week that has
brought laughter to himself and all
who heard of it. This communication
from a Philadelphia man said in brief:
81 have some money which 1 would
be willing to invest in Wildwood prop
erty and would you please send me a
list of all vacant lots which you have
for sale. If 1 like them 1 will buy
maybe all of them" The fact that
there are some $500 vacant lots on
Five Mile Beach which have street,
sidewalk and sewer advantages and
also that the lots listed by this par
ticular salesman would total a cost
price of over a million dollars makes
n believe that the writer of the let
ter is either a multi-millionaire, an
insane person or a man who does not
know the first thing about Wildwood,
but thinks it is merely a new found
resort where lots are selling at five or
ten dollars each. More proof of the
need of a greater advertising program
for Wildwood.

THAT the United States will inter
L fere in the embrOglio in any way is
said in Washington to be quite i'm
probable, at least for the present. I'm
der the situation that has now devel-
oped the administration believes that
if it does anything, it must do some
thing that will be helpful and not
harmful, and up to the present mo-
ment officials hold that there is no OPP
portunity for anything more than has
been done without making the situa-
ton worse.
If the United States should make a
gesture toward France, the French
would claim that the Germans had
thereby been stiffened in their resist
ance and if the Ruhr expedition fails,
they would blame the United States
for its failure. On the other hand, if
the United States Should assume a
course which the French could inter
pref as encouragement, the feeling of
evaporation in Germany would be
heightened. Either way no good would
be done and the United States would
be incapacitated for helpfulness in the
future.

FRANCES operations in the Ruhr
L continue to monopolize most of the
attention of the world. Developments
followed one another fast last week,
but Il is yet too early to predict the
success or failure of the maneuver.
Having occupied the entire Ruhr basin,
the French announced their military
movement would go no further at pres
ent and turned their attention to the
difficult task of persuading or COM
polling the Germans to continue the
mining of coal and other normal activ-
tiles. At first the coal magnates said
they would produce the coal if paid
for 1t by the French, but their W
government ordered them to cease,
and this order they at once obeyed. A
number of them, including Fritz Thys-
sen, son Of the second richest man in
Germany, were arrested and tried by
court-martial. The French prosecutor
admitted there we're extenuatlng cir
cumstances in that the prisoners had
obeyed their own government and
asked only that they be fined. All were
found guilty and fines totaling about
$4,000 were imposed. Appeal was
taken to a higher French court In the
Rhineland.
The immediate effect of this pro-
cedure was a general strike Of all
workers in the Ruhr, which had been
threatened for several days. To this
the French responded with orders for
the complete isolation Of the district
from the rest Of Germany. 1t thus will
become a buffer state economically at
tached to France and Belgium. The
French would have liked to include the
entire Rhineland in this buffer state,
but refrained because that would COM
plicate the situation. In Berlin 1t was
believed they planned to include not
only the Rhlneland but also the Saar
and. the Palatinate. If the Germans
do not weaken, not only the official
duties in the Ruhr but also all of the
work will have to be done by the
French. They were planning to import
a large number of Polish miners, for
above all France must have coal from
the mines there. General Weygand
was made French high commissioner
in the region and established himself
in Essen, being accompanied by Yves
LIE Trocquer, the French minister Of
public works, and experts from that
department who have been put IN
charge Of the exploitation of the mines.
All German rail workers in the kuhr
quit on orders from Berlin, and the tie
IN was almost complete for the time
being. However. several thousand rail-
way men were sent from France 70
the occupied region. A dispatch from
Warsaw said that the Polish war min
istry has ordered men Of the Polish
and former German armies who's
service time has expired and who are
familiar with the operation Of railways.
