ESSEN, Jan. 1S.-The French
seized loaded German coal barges on
the Rhine and on the Rhineheren
canal near Dussberg today.
The barges We're held up and the
captains papers taken away.
New clearance papers for French
destinations We're furnished and the
barges were directed to proceed to
Strassburg instead of to the German
destinations to which their cargoes
were consigned.
NJ Costa, chairman of the French
engineering commission, announced
the first penalties will consist of con-
fscation Of coal cars on the railroads
and coal barges on the canals. He
said the mines would not be con
fscated.
Forests Of the Rhineland are TO be
worked by the allies, as well as coal
mines, if German miners persist in
their refusal to work under French
bayonets, and no pains are to be
spared. 1t IS stated, to make the oc-
cupation Of the Ruhr a success.
Germans Adamant
In the face of additional penalties,
threats of court-martial for the
Ruhr's most prominent mine owners,
end further seizure of territory, the
Germans remained adamant to stub
born will of the invaders.
The national coal commission re
peated its prohibition against deliver
les of coal to France and Belgium.
Disturbances at Dortmund, linen
and Essen failed to lead to serious
trouble.
Frances punitive measures were
put into effect deliberately here and
there throughout the Ruhr today.
French engineers, who had been
stationed at Essen, scattered mystic
riously to various sections Of the oc-
cupied area early this morning. They
refused information regarding appar-
emily new sanctions.
French headquarters declared the
occupying forces are not going into
the mines themselves, but limited at
confiscation.
French Proceed Slowly
Some Of the mine offices of the fuel
are to be taken over, but
the French prefer to proceed slowly
with their new measures.
The Germans met tn moves with
the same passive resist nee that char
acterized their attitude toward the
invasion, but some big industrialists
Of the Ruhr fear hunger may defeat
plans of both f inch and Germans
