and this order they al once obeyed. A
number OF them, including Fritz Thys-
sen. son Of the second richest man In
Germany. were arrested and tried by
court-martial. The French prosecutor
admitted there were extenuatng cir
cumstances in that the prisoners had
obeyed their own government and
asked only that they be fined. All were
found guilty and fines totallng about
$4,000 were imposed. Appeal was
taken to higher French court In the
Rhineland.
The immediate effect Of this pro-
cedure was general strike of all
workers In the Ruhr. which had been
threatened for several days. To this
the French responded with orders for
the complete isolation of the district

work will have to be done by the
French. They were planning to import
a large number Of Polish miners. for
above all France must have coal from
the mines there. General Weygand
was made French high commissioner
In the region and established himself
In Essen, being accompanied by Yves

department who have been put in
charge Of the exploitation of the mines.
All German rail workers In the Ruhr
quit on orders from Berlin. and the tie
up was almost complete for the time
being. However. several thousand rail-
way men were sent from France to
the occupied region. A dispatch from
Warsaw said that the Polish war min.
istry has ordered men of the Polish
and former German armies whose
service time has expired and who are
familiar with the operation of railways.

thing that will be helpful and not

portunity for anything more than has
been done without making the sltua-

II the United States should make a
gesture toward France, the French
would claim that the Germans had
thereby been stiffened In their resist
ance and II the Ruhr expedition fails,
they would blame the United States
for Its failure. On the other hand, If
the United States should assume a
course which tie French could inter-
pref as encouragement. the feeling of
evaporation in Germany would be
heightened. Either way no good would
be done and the United States would
be lncapacitated for helpfulness In the
future.
