a test of the French theories in re-
gard to German capacity to pay is
now in progress. If those theories
prove sound there will be no reason
for further American initiative in
the matter: if not. the Hughes sug-
gestion may we'll serve as the basis
for q new Allied conference to plan
some other course.
An authoritative Interpretation of
French governmental opinion OBJ
tanned here during the day is in line
to some extent with this view. 1t
was stated that there was no doubt.
in the event that occupation of the
RUIN. failed to produce the results
French expert opinion had forecast,
further conferences with Germany
might be expected and probably
would lead to such alterations in
reparations schedules as experience
had demonstrated to be necessary.
The determination of France to pro-
coed with the occupation. it was ex-
planned. had two underlying purposes.
The first was that experts in whose
Judgment the French authoG ties had
confidence had held that the desired
payments would be produced in that
way. The second purpose. it was added.
was to make it very plain to Germany
that she could not escape the role OF
vanquished in the war by trickery or
diplomatic evasions. The French au-
thorities are convinced. it was said.
that the Germans can understand only
lessons backed by force.
The American government will make
no reply to the German protest against
the French movement into the Ruhr, 1t
was said today at the White House.
Europe generally is fully advised Of
the friendly desire of the United States
to help in smoothing out the difficult
situation that has arisen, it was said.
bur the powers concerned most directly
have not indicated as yet any way in
which they wish to see American aid
put forward.
Government officials, it was said. not
only see no necessity for reply to
the German protest. but believe that
the requirement of the situation and
diplomatic courtesy do not make it inn
perative that even an official acknowl-
edgment should be sent to the German
government.

err two methods instead Of one, and
If any reasonable doubt exists such
doubt should be resolved against dis
franchising honest voters.
"Considering therefore these
amendments together, think the
statute authorizes the counting OF
this group for the petitioner, FTeth-
ingham."
Discussing group four. where 10
ballots are in dispute, Chief Justice
Cornish says:
Cross in Republican party square.
Woodside's name stricken out. Froth-
insham'S name written in blank
space beneath Woodside's name and
crossed in the blank space opposite
Frothingham's name 80 written in.
This involves similar situation to
that in Group 3, the difference being
that here the voters employed the
party group instead of the individual
method of voting.
The respondent relies upon the fol-
lowing provision OF Chapter 800, p. l..
1917, as prohibiting the counting of
these ballots: IF the voter shall de-
sire to vote for any person or per-
sons whose name or names are not
printed as candidates in such party
group or ticket he may erase any
name or names which arc printed
therein and place a cross (X) in the
square at the right of the name of
the candidate of his choice in any
other party group or ticket" The
contention is that this is an ex-
elusive method and if in voting by
the group method the voter wishes to
vote for candidate of another party.
he must cross the name Of that
candidate in It's party column.
Granting that q strict interpreta-
ton would lead to that conclusion.
yet here again we bring in Chapter
c96 of the same legislature. approved
on the same day, and for the reasons
given under Group 3, constituting the
acts together, the method used by the
voters here was authorized. Two
methods were allowed and they Sc
lected one of them.
These ballots l count for Frothing-
ham.

French Mission
Establishing Contact
With Mine Operators

Dusseldorf, Jan. 12.-(By A. P)-
The first day Of the occupation OF Es-
sen was taken up practically in OBJ
tanning contact between the French eco
nomic mission and representatives OF
the German coal mine operators and
steel mill owners with a view to find
ing q basis Of cooperation in the work.
ing of the Ruhr industries.
Both sides to conferences were nom
committal regarding the results
achieved, but the feeling was expressed
tonight by the Germans, and not denied
by the French, that the entire success
Of the French occupation from the eco
nomic viewpoint depends upon the Co
operation of the existing German Or
ganisms. and if they decide to refrain
from cooperating the entire structure
Of Ruhr industries will break down.
The French apparently were Ioath
to admit 1t. but seemingly they real
ize that they failed to grasp the nagni-
tude Of the economic operation and
that their technical, financial and eco
nomic electives are not sufficient to
carry out their share of the work a.
effectively as the military accomplish
ed theirs.
ISfom French sources it is announced
that the coal operators and other in
dustrialists attending the Essen con-
ference are prepared to disregard the
Berlin governments ruling that they
must discontinue making deliveries In
kind to France, Belgium and Italy on
account of reparations. Notwithstand-
ing this good will, however. the Ger
mans desire to know whence payment
for deliveries will be Forthcoming,
since the Berlin government no longer
is prepared to peet then. They will
continue deliveries, it was said, but
they must be guaranteed payment by
France.
Paul Tirard, of France, president
of the lnter-Allied Rhineland Com
! mission. in accord with Baron JAG
| quemain, Belgian member OF the
commission, has sent out a circular
| to all German functionaries in the
occupied territory of the Ruhr in
forming them that they are liable TO
| the penalties prescribed by the rules
| of the commission il they carry out
| the instructions from Berlin ana
! fail to make deliveries in kind.
These penalties prescribe dismis-
| sal or expulsion, ortrial. with con-
sequent fines, or Jail terms. M. Tir-
ards decision was based on the Ger
| man governments failure to sub
| nit its rulings for the discOntinuance
| of deliveries for the approval of the
| inter-Allied Commission before the
ruling was promulgated. Berlin is
compelled to do this before any new
| edict or ruling can be enforced in
| the occupied zone.
The French officially deny that
| there is any intention to occupy Bo-
chum, which is the center of the
| great SHINES industries, but the
| SHINES managers there say they ex-
| pect occupation to be a matter OF
| only days. Documents and account
| books are being removed.
No untoward incident has been
reported from the newly occupied
| districts. The French soldiers are
strictly obeying the order to avoid
moving about on the streets. The
German population is orderly and
quiet, if somewhat sullen.

the amendment to the regulations
was submitted several weeks ago to
Deputy Commissioner A. C. Holden in
charge of Sales Tax. It was supple
mented by a brief which emphasized
the points brought out in the oral ar
gument as to why the emblem was
improperly classified.
These arguments were fully sus-
tanned as evidenced by an official
communication received from Deputy
Commissioner Holden in which he
says:
"You are advised that after con-
sideration of the matter this office
now holds that emblems. designed to
be attached to automobiles to show
membership in automobile clubs. as
sociations. etc, are not considered

may take.
There are many reports of the pos

ing meeting with the Germans, to
Which would be invited Great Britain.
Belgium and Italy, and perhaps the
United States.
The purpose of such a meeting
would be to try and arrange a settle

has seized guarantees which she re-
CARDS as necessary to the fulfillment
Of any terms which might be pres
ented to Germany. NJ. Poincare left
the way open when he declined the
proposal Of Hugo SHINES, the great
German industrialist, to come to Paris
after the breakdown of the recent
premiers' conference in an effort to
reach direct understanding between
Fance and the German industrialists.
If no snch meeting develops, the
reparations commission is expected to
grant Germany q moratorium by
majority vote some time before the
newly granted delay expires. A gen.
eral outline of the new French plan
for q moratorium was circulated pri-
vately today. It provides for two
years. moratoium, with the follow

Regulating Laws To

There is no doubt in the minds Of
any of the major truck manufacturers
of the country but that with the de-
velopment of the motor truck and bus
will come the passage of laws, reg
ulating truck and bus traffic.
The motor truck has reached such
a stage that it is playing most i'm
portant part in the freight business
of the nation. and laws are becoming
more and more necessary to govern
this class Of traffic.
Contrary to the belief of many
persons the motor truck manufac-
turers are not fighting regulatory
lows but are actually welcoming
them. The manufacturers realize
that the motor truck is q common
carrier" Of freight and passengers,
and with this in mind it seems no
more than fair that the truck should
be governed in the same manner as
the railroad when engaged in this
class of traffic.
Truck men favor the passage Of
