Germany Tells q. S. She VIII
Hold to Versailles Treaty

bV 0tfCd PTeSS
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Germany
has given her word to the United
States that, as a result Of the French
occupation Of the Ruhr, she will not
meet violence with violence"
This and the fact that Germany
declares she will not renounce the
Versailles treaty were the outstand-
ing points in a note from the Berlin
government which protested against
French invasion of the Ruhr.
While the note is an appeal to the
United States to place her influence
on the side Of Germany, this Govern

Look at that guy gon' excitedly ex-
claimed the mayor, forgetting the girl
OF the loose-wheeled auto as a large
black car whirred by.
Around turned the mayors car and
the race was on. Squirming from one
side of the seat to the other, Shank
watched the speedometer take a trip
around the twenty -hve-miIe mark.
That's guys wise to us, for some
reason" said the mayor.
Finally the other driver slowed
down as the mayors car passed him.
He laughed and pointed to a mirror
placed just where the driver could get
the first view of the speed cop.

when citizens about their duties this
morning they encountered only an
occasional blue-coated sentry pacing
the downtown streets.
Surprised at the absence of warlike
demonstrations. citizens of Essen,
who had acted sullenly when the city
first was seized, were apparently ens
crossed in an effort to master their
resentment. Stiff German smiles were
exchanged as occasional groups OF
French officers appeared.
Uneasiness is expressed regarding
what may transpire tomorrow, which
is pay day, when the miners have
been accustomed to come in from the
coal fields and drink rather heavily.
