BERLIN, September 26.-Through-
out the whole Ruhr today leaders are
personally telling the population of
the decision to end passive resistance
and are urging upon them the neces-
sity of returning as quickly as pos
sible to hard work and full produc-
tivity. Only the communists are op-
posing the surrender. They are doing
so only to further their own political
schemes.
The formal government proclama-

will be issued today, represents the
unanimous decision of all the Ruhr

UNITED TEXTILE IS
 NOT GOING TO QUIT
Leader Will Hold Of Calling
 Strike in Fall River

Fall River Mass. March 20.-There will be no immediate strike of the cotton textile operatives of this city controlled by the United Textile Workers of America who have de- manded a wage increase of 29H per cent from the cotton manufacturers association.
 Pending decision of the manufac- turers on the demand of the Fall River textile council. rival union organization. for a wage increase of 16 per cent, President Thomas F. Me- Mahon of the U. T. W. announced strike call and play the game" with the manufacturers and the textile council, seeking meantime to gain control of the union forces in the city.
 Conference Today
 Today interest centered in the ne- gotiations between the textile council and the manufacturers, The council will meet tonight to consider Q pro- posal made yesterday by the manu- lecturers that outside representatives be admitted to a conference Friday between the council and the manu- lecturers association to consider the wage demand. This proposal said to be an innovation in textile wage con- ferences here, was made by c. F.. Smith, secretary of the executive com- mittee of the association in letter to the secretary of the textile council the latter's invitation to a meeting.
 Makes Charges
 In a statement made after mass of the United Textile workers last night, President McMahon ac- cused the textile council of working in collision with the manufacturers to bring about a small wage increase sufficient merely to avert a strike and pointed to the possible presence of citizens" at Fridays conference as proof of his charges.

 Miss Mary Ann Williams as Nina, tho daughter of Con O'Conneil and whose fair heart Willie Live was en- deavoring to secure, was perfectly at ease in the role of the unassuming daughter. Miss Williams was called for many encores after rendering sev- eral song numbers. Her Persian song hit was most effective with the stage light subdued and the chorus dressed in oriental clothes. Meath the South Sea Moon' was no doubt tho best number sung by Miss Williams.
 Miss Mildred Hellberg was good in the role of the Irish maiden seeking a lover and others who did well in their respective parts were Edward Ogren as E. 2. Mark, Jean Blair as Dottie, Harriet Chamberlain as Mollie. Robert Loomis as Jack, Anna Petus- kis as the servant, Henry Pfeiffer as the walter. George Davis as Van As- tor and Raymond Walker as Flash.
 The oriental dance by Miss Minnie Huber was one of the bright spots in the show. Miss Huber has an excel- lent stage appearance and her dance was gracefully executed. Miss Robina Blair also scored in her Scottish sword dance in the second act.
 The chorus numbers especially in the second act, were well sdone and are worthy of only the highest of praise. The March of the Allies" by the Landers, Frary & Clark group de- serves special mention. The girls in Just Like Doll" chorus worked in unison and their dancing was ap- preciated. Robert Loomis and his chorus also made hit in their sing ing and dancing of Listening on Some Radio" novelty number. Miss Chamberlain and her girls presented an effective number in My 1 Little Almond Eyes, an oriental | fantasy.
 A quartet consisting of Messrs. Yin. cent Kiernan. William Doyle, George | Lynch and Tedder Kilduf appeared | in a speciality number of their own. The work of George V. C., Lord. di- rector. was evident throughout. Miss | White was pianist.

AMATEURS MAKE HIT
 IN DON'T ASK ME
AppreclatiYe Audience Present at Am. Legion Revue at Lyceum
tBy The Herald Reviewer,.

{ Catchy music, clever speaking lines and we'll executed dance numbers all go to make Don't Ask Me" the Am erican Legion revue which opened at the Lyceum theater last evening, one or the best amateur shows seen here m recent years. The production is elaborately staged; the costumes of which there are many changes, ap- pear new and the scenery is artisti- cally designed.
 The show Is a typical musical re- vhe with not much of plot but much music and dancing. The story In brief is built around Willie Live, who has been away for long time but returns in an effort to gain the hand of Nina O'Connell, whose father is not friend of his. He disguises himself as negro porter and in this manner is able to learn from the fath- CT many of his secrets about his daughter and his wealth. Winning a horse race placed Live in the good graces of the father and he is thus able to wed his daughter.
 There were many musical numbers all of which were well done. The choruses appearing in the second act of the show were full of pep and con- fributed greatly to the success of the production.
 Raymond Watkins as Willie Live carried off the comic honors. His ec- centricities, his queer mannerisms and comical facial expressions evoked laughter from even the most stern of those in the audience.
 Following a close second for com- edy honors was Lambert Lord as the 'Dutchman" seeking the hand of Miss Murphy, an Irish maiden in quest of a lover. MT. Lords Bucket of Studs For Mine" number assisted by chor-
