That France will fail to overcome
Germany's resistance to her Ruhr
plans is a thing the Paris govern
ment isn't afraid of a bit, according
to Gallo spokesman.
It's acknowledged that the French
aren't getting as much coal as be-
fore they entered the Ruhr. 1t isn't
disputed that TIE invasion has been
expensive. It's conceded that the
government has had to overcome
considerable opposition at home.
All that doesn't bother them, the
French leaders say. They declare
Germany has suffered so much more
acutely than France that even now
she's on the verge of yielding. When
she does so, the French expect to get
back all they put into the enter
prise, and more too.
That is to say, that's what they
expect, provided they're left to af-
feet their own settlement with the
Germans. What they fear is that
somebody'll try to but in"
At any rate, so the Paris press
says.
Outside Help Isn't Wanted
The view expressed by the French
newspapers is that the war, won
it, and then other countries that
took part in the peace negotiations
euchred her out of a lot of the ad-
vantages she'd have claimed il she'd
made her w terms with Germany.
The press is fearful now, France
having sh~ouldered all the expense
and trouble and taken all the risks
of the Ruhr occupation, that out
siders will try again to prevent her
from getting the full benefit of that,
too.
This, some OF tho papers say
quite frankly, Is why the French
are so suspicious of mediation They
have an idea the mediators will
think more about their w inter-
ests than they will be about Frances.
They mention this al the main
reason why a settlements delayed.
Burma's Wealth of Oil
Just as he was leaving the cabinet
ex-Secretary of the Interior Fall
charged that a conspiracy, includ-
ing interests in every important coun-
try but this one, EXISTS TO gobble
up the whole worlds oil supply, ex-
haust Americas, and then lay the
United States under tribute for every
gallon she has to have in future.
Now, only a few days later. comes
England's announcement that her
government was mistaken awhile
when it declared everybody but

New York's Park Commissioner Seeks to Give Looks to Metropolis

 In his capacity IS n member Of tho
 municipal art commission, he has
 asked Mayor Hylan to arrange meet ling to discuss the appointment of d
 commission to draft laws giving the city authority to dedicate as public
 buildings. not to be destroyed without sanction, all beautiful or traditional structures in greater New York. | He will ask also that the commis- sion adopt laws compelling architects and builders to make designs for new edifices conform with the architectur- al ideas predominating in any given locality that sentiment, tradition or i beauty has declared to be of aesthe- tic value.

His Proposal. In his proposal, Commissioner Gal latin asserts he is not blind to the citys most conspicuous office and public buildings. He urges, for in stance, that the Woolworth building. whose sky-searching tower dwarfs the surrounding giants of granite and steel, be forever dedicated to civic beauty.
 Other Items.
 Other structures whose aesthetic appeal he would compel their own CTS to share in common Include the Herald Building which, with it's warm Italian personality. contends against ad jacent modern hustle with Latin languor; the Times Building, austerely beautiful in grandeur of line; the quaint Hotel Brevoort in Greenwich Village. where Jenny Lind stayed; the Plaza hotel. with brows scowling over Central Park; Trinity church. tram uuil in Wall streets very face; the Flatiron building. now traduced by it's but nevertheless a worthy | pioneer of the race of giants; stately | St. Patrick's Cathedral, that looks be- | nignantly down upon a.. vivid Fifth | avenue; the Colonial City Hall, brood ing and aristocratically aloof on low CT Manhattan.

Other vessels have been so placed in the harbor that they can be moved up to elevator legs some time during the winter when the movement by rail will have relieved the elevators of part of their bulging stores.
 The movement of grain from boat to elevator and from elevator to box cars never ceases from the time the golden stream starts down the Great Lakes. but the final rush is so great that these facilities meet the demands of only a small portion of the feet Nor could tidewater facilities handle the crop if it were possible to move it there as rapidly as the freighters bring it down the lakes. So the big freighters become storehouses for the winter, and they are as desirable for that purpose as the elevators.
 Winter Cargo.
 The largest winter cargo in float. ing storage this season is in the hold of the Steamer William c. Agnew. Oats in her bins would fill 250 box cars, or a total of 501.S6S bushels one of the largest winter cargoes on record. The Schoonmaker rates next with 445.0O0 bushels of grain.

 Manning's Letter-Trial for Heresy

New York. Jan. 23.--Dr. Percy Stickney Grant will send his formal reply to the letter in which Bishop William T. Manning asked him to re- cant certain of his statements or to resign within a few days, according to letter Dr. Grant wrote the bishop last evening. This letter read: My Dear Bishop Manning:
 T received Friday night your per- sonal letter. which you had also sent to the newspapers. Saturday and Sunday were very busy days. with matters that could not be postponed: : and today, Monday, I have been away from my desk most of the time.
 T shall have to ask you, therefore to suffer few days to pass before my formal reply Is placed in your hands.
 Sincerely yours.
 PERCY S. GRANT"
 When the reply is sent, Dr. Grant said last evening with some emphasis, he will send copies to the newspapers. While nothing is known of what the nature of the reply will be Dr. Grants friends expect he will refuse to resign. By repeating the objectionable utter ances in his sermon on Sunday he has made 1t clear he will not recant. Therefore trial of charges of heresy is fully expected.

of his career when he did the high

Ralph Belikove came in a close sec

Gene Mullen captured first place
