BERLIN, October 5.-The French
have given up their support Of the
Rhineland separatist movement under
the leadership Of Dorten and Matthes
and have established policy Of direct
control Of the country for an indefi-
mite period. according to reports re-
ceived from the correspondent of The
Star and the Chicago Daily News at
Dusseldorf.
His analysis indicates that the
Rhineland and the Ruhr already are
separated in fact from Germany. and
that the formal permission Of re-
public is no longer necessary to the
aims which the French are supposed
to cherish. In financial. police and
| commercial matters the French al
| ready are exercising the functions OF
government. Important elements Of
| the situation ares. t~
1.-The Ruhr and the Rhinelarfd al
| ready are separated from Germany by
sharp border control. Persons en-
tering and leaving those areas must

2. French currency already is the off,

road fares. postal fees and customs
duties must be paid In francs. Hence.
it will be necessary for Rhineland-
ers to buy francs with marks. Incl

first effect OF this will be a currency
shortage requiring the issue Of more
French currency. Rhenish business
men are only too anxious to go on

,, the franc will become the sole cur
rency in the Rhineland and the Ruhr,
gradually displacing the mark alto

ILLNESS
BASE OF BEAR RAID

NEW YORK, July 31.-The Monday
overnight turn for the worse in Pres
ident Harding's condition was gener-
ally regarded as one of the principal
factors in bringing about the sharp
reaction in Tuesdays stock market,
which resulted in the average of 20
leading industrial stocks singing to
newlow ground for the year. Scores
of active stocks, including United
States Steel common, Baldwin, Atchi-
son, st. Paul common preferred, and
Missouri Pacific common and prefer
red also sold at their l0wesU prices of
the year, the net losses ranging from
to points. ~ 49, +
President Harding, personally, is
very popular in the fiancial district,
and. news of his illness was read with
widespread interest and sympathy,
While Wall Street was not inclined to
become alarmed over his condition
! the serious nature of his illness natu-
rally caused considerable concern and
created a feeling Of uneasiness which
was not overlooked by professional
spectators or the decline.
One banker pointed out that if the
president should be ihcapacitated fol
any length of time and was forced tC
delegate some of his duties to others
it would probably receive increased
radical activity because of the absence
Of centralized authority. 1t was ap-
/ parently the fear of the consequences
of such a situation that prompted ex
tension liquidation of stock by fright
ened investors during the day.

London Letter
By EVELYN SHARP
Federated Press Staff Writer)

LONDON.-"War with France is
nearer today than war against Ger
many in 1911" says Robert Willioms,
secretary Of the Transport Workers
Federation. Ramsay Macdonald,
leader Parliamentary Labor party,
warns labor everywhere that the stu
alton is becoming similar to that in
July, 1914; that Europe is being
plowed and narrowed for another
world war" and the danger is that
through the public's ignorance "rihes
may be put in their hands while they
sleep and they will be awakened by
bugles."
In France, Jean Longuet, Socialist
leader, advocates the reassembling of
the Conference of Inter-Allied Social
list parliamentary groups. M. Pain
leve, radical Socialist party, suggests
a conference between the peace-loving
elements in France and Britain.

The strike of the lockers continues
in spite of the exhortations of their
leaders to honor the agreement by
which a shilling (22c) a day comes off
their wages in consequence of a drop
of 10 points in the cost of living. In
one or two districts, the men have re-
turned to work, but in the larger ports
Hull, Bristol, Manchester, and London
trade is at a standstill. The sponten.
iety of the strike testifies to the uni
versal feeling that the official method
of arriving at an estimate of the cos
of living does not tally with the prac
tical experience of the housewife whC
goes shopping. -,
The Miners Federation of Grea
Britain, in annual session at Folke
stone. have to consider the matter o.
terminating the existing agreement
bv which miners cannot live on thei
wages. This agreement was foreeC
from them, two years ago, at the enC
of a long strike; and like all agree
ments resulting from starvation it ha
proved unavoidable. Parliament, b.
throwing out the miners bill to es
tablish a decent minimum wage, ha
failed to help the situation. Throw
back upon themselves, they are face
with two alternativesS to continue t
press the coal owners. for a revision
lof the existing agreement, which thei
nreeident Herbert Smith, advocates
or TO rive notice that they mean t
terminate the agreement, for whic
burmese a ballot would have to be tax
on IN the coal districts. Nothing wi

miners hut a decent living wage
whatever the price of coal; and a
economic wage Is Impossible so Ion
as the mines are not nationalized.

POLITICIANS
BREAK CITY STRIKE

ST. LOUIS.-The city's striking
garbage wagon drivers have returned
to work on the promise Of the Repub-
lican city central committee that it
would present and work for bill be-
fore the board of aldermen granting
the men at wage increase of $25 a
month, for which they struck.
The politicians pledge amounts to
nothing, since any bill having to do
with the spending of city money must
first receive the aprtN'al of the board
of estimates, of which Mayor Kiel is
chairman That board, and especially
the mayor, is fatty against any pay
increases for city employees this year
The men, voted to return to work
after the politicians appeared before
their meeting and made the pledges
referred to. The Republican city
committee controls the political ma
chine city administration.
Employees of the city street cleaning
department who struck in sympathy
with the garbage men and later fran.
ed a similar demand for a raise of $2s
a month are back at work on the same
terms as the garbage drivers.
