BERLIN LOSES
FIGHT IN RUhR

BERLIN. Sept. Soy Tho Assoc
lated Press).-Germany has arrived
at the end of her tether so far as
her further ability to finance passive
resistance is concerned.
This is the current opinion in
banking circles which expect that
Germany in the course of the next
few days will take the initiative in
the direction of proposing that Of
ficiaI discussions be begun with the
French and Belgian governments.
That the Ruhr and the Rhineiand
fight has been lost by the govern
ment and the army of Germany re-
sisters now is also tacitly admitted
in political circles, although the
press has not discussed the situation
with which the government is con-
fronted- 1t is believed. however.
that the German editor had been in
formed by Chancellor Stresemann
that the government would seek to
force a solution OF the Ruhr conflict
soon.
The situation in the occupied areas
also is steadily becoming worse both
in respect to economic conditions
and the temper OF the resisters who
no longer are able to maintain tho
solidarity necessary for a united
front.
