Ruhr Basin Isolated,
With State Of Seige in
Areas Held by French
Tnternationnl News Service.

ESSEN, Jan. 29.-The Ruhr basin,
with its coal fields and industries,
was completely isolated today.
General De Goutte, French com.
mander-in-chief, has issued a procla-
Tightening the state Of siege
into virtual martial law In all areas
held by French and Belgian troops.
German officials regard General
De Goutte's action. as a move to
break down completely German re-
sistance.
Serious property destruction was
reported from various quarters.
Traffic Paralyzed.
Railway traffic Is paralyZed. A
few passenger and military trains
were moved, but freight transporta-
ton Is at a. standstill.
Telephone and telegraph communi.
cation Is crippled by the strike OF
German employees.
Berlin sent word that appeals for
assistance were being sent out Tor
the German strikers in the Rhine
land. It Is questioned, however,
whether the French military authori-
ties will allow food trains to enter
the Ruhr so long as the German
workers defy the occupational forces
with strikes.
French officers claim that German
civilian officials are encouraging dis.
orders.
Violence Spreading.
Violence has spread from the West
phalian coal and industrial zones
southwark to other areas taken over
by the French long ago.
Representatives Of the German
mine owners declare that no coal Is
being moved into Belgium or France
owing to strikes Of miners and rail-
way men. French railway workers
who have been sent into the Ruhr
are practically helpless. Railway
tracks have been torn up and tele-
graph wires cut, preventing traffic.

Cal Coolidge is probably the eoun-

positive talent for 1t. 1t is the COM
plement OF his greatest handicap
his inability to talk fluently. 1t is
question whether If his talent and his
handicap had been reversed he could
have achieved the same success. Cal
fairly listened his way into all the
offices that Northampton could give
him.
Cal has always been known as a
''door-to- door" candidate. Where an
other man would have spent his time

down into the poor section to the

On the strength of these two quail

democrats, at his shop on almost any

One thing Is certain, however. Un-

of radio. There can hardly be a time
when any place will + out OF com

in case of a disaster. when ordinary
communication is cut OF, messages
can still be sent out by radio.
Expeditions in distant lands, in
places where wires have never been
stretched, can keep in constant com
munication with tho world through
the radio. Commu1'cation at sea. Of
course, holds great possibilities, too.
II is not likely that the radio will
ever replace the ordinary telephone.
Radio messages cannot he directed so
