The world in the next few years will

it is fairly safe bet that she will

The Germans are quite in sympa thy

Additional credits, running into

These credits are being made to
the Ruhr coal mine and factory own
ers by the German government with
view to keeping the men employed
and thus preventing unrest and dis
content.
Directors Not Satisfied.
The coal syndicate directors and the
industrialists are not altogether salts
fed with the credits, acceptance of
which is obligatory, according to in
formation obtained by the French in
telligence service. The industrialists s
and the mine owners contend that the
German government should furnish
the funds to pay the workers without
charging them to the account of the
Ruhr maGnates. They feel that the
government ought to bear the burden
of the Ruhr resistance policy.

The French declare the strike is in
