view to changing their efficiency rat

REPORT BONN OCCUPIED.
Separatists' Hold on City Uncer-
tain, as Police Resist.

By the Associated Press.
COBLENZ, October 23.-The Rhine
land separatists are reported here to
have occupied Bonn at l o'clock this
morning. It is uncertain whether they
retained possession Of the town. as
the latest information around noon
today was that the republicans had
clashed with the police and that the
city authorities had finally called upon
the French troops to restore order.
The German police were said to be
still patrolling the town. but whether
under separatist or loyal direction
was not clear.
Coblenz awoke in the expec-
tation that IL would be occupied by
the republicans today and that JOS
the father of the republic" would
arrive with a provisional cabinet to
make this city the seat of the new
Rhineland government.
People Are Puzzled.
The population seemed puzzled and
undecided whether to welcome the
honor of having Coblenz proclaimed
the capital, and 1t was expected that
the impression the people got from
today's events would determine their
attitude.
between Matthes and Leo Deckers at
AK la Chapelle yesterday resulted In
an agreement by Deckers to take
second place in the new government
IL he were allowed to have the gov
ernorship of the AK district. 1t Is
also believed that DR.. Guthardt, who.
with Deckers, led the coup at AK. is
willing to take back seat PROVIDED
he can control his native city, Duis-
bure If and when that place Is taken
over by the separatists. It's occupa-
fpou "a MANNED for today.
The separatists, IL they got posses
sion of the public buildings In Cob
lenz today-a move which they ex-
pected would be unopposed-planned
to present a letter from the new gov
ernment to the Rhineland high COM
mission This letter, 1t is understood,
would announce the policy OF the re-
public as being friendly to all coun-
tries and express the republics Will
ingness to assume the Rhinelands
share of reparation obligations.
Resent Ruhr Cost.
One of the chief arguments of the
separatists for a break with Berlin
is that the passive resistance In the
Ruhr cost the Rhineland twenty-five
billion gold marks, while its share OF
the total reparations would only have
been twenty-six billions, according TO
their figuring.
The separatists also assert that the
Rhineland has always paid four-ffths
of Prussia's taxes and that since the
armistice this money has been squan-
dered by Berlin. Inasmuch as they
have to pay a big proportion of the
renarations any way they feel they
might as we'll get the credit for 1t.

post Office was temporarily forced

So low has the mark dropped in
Germany that 1t has been found
