Separate RhineIand Is Aim.
There is little likelihood that
France will withdraw from the ,Ruhr
and the Rhineland Industrial belt
now that they have been occupied.
Many British officials believe that
France will settle down, making
occupation as mild as possible, but
meanwhile working hard for a sepa-
ration of the Rhineland from the
balance of Germany.
Germany would then take on the
rank of Balkan agricultural state

than Poland or little Belgium.

LICENSES NOW
DUPLICATED BY CITY

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IA new
system of making duplicate copies
of marriage licenses was started
January / at the office of County
Clerk l.. E. hampton. When the
duplicate copy is filled out by the
officiating pastor or justice of the
peace, the persons married will
have documentary proof they have
been married while the original Is
being filed at the courthouse.
Tie purpose of the new system
is to eliminate the embarra. .sment
that frequently arises before. the
original certificate has beer re-
turned to the couple. 1t also has
been suggested that the duplicate
copy could be kept by one o. the
couple. while the other takes the
original, thereby giving each of
them an official certificate.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-The black
shadow of Bolshevism hangs over
Germany today as a result of the
French invasion, according to warn
ings st mt out by Chancellor Will
helm Cuno. from Berlin.
1t is learned from an authorita-
tive source that Chancellor Cuno's
message was. sent to all German
diplomats in foreign countries and
informed them that Germany will
collect all the moral power left in
an effort to make moral opposition
to French invasion of the Ruhr eff
tective." The message continued:
This policy is taken in the
final hope that before moral power
disappears entirely the governments
of the world will recognize Ger
many's real plight and come to her
assistance. The only alternative
is Bolshevism."
Finds People Weakening.
Chancellor Cuno said he opposes
radical measures, but that the PEG.
pie are weakening, and if pressed
much harder Bolshevism will be a
real danger"
1t is understood that Herr Stamer,
German ambassador to England,
has presented a note to the British
foreign office saying:
$50 long as conditions contrary
to the Versailles treaty remain in
existence Germany will not be able
to make any reparations deliveries
of any kind to those powers that
brought about these conditions"
Germany's next gold indemnity
payment is due to the allies Mon
day. A dispatch from Paris, how
ever, reported that the allied repara-
tions commission would meet tomor-
row to consider Germany's request
for an indemnity moratorium. The
partial moratorium granted last au-
tumn has now expired.
Cannot Offer Resistance.
France has between 10000 and
$4,000 troops massed in the eastern
part of the Ruhr coal fields and TO
the, north and south of the Ruhr
basin. The intimation given by
Chancellor Cuno and all German Of
ficials is that Germany cannot I'M
dertake any resistance except Of a
peaceful. passive nature. Germany
is without war supplies of any kind,
and could not undertake q military
campaign no matter how great her
anger against the French. = +.
Belief is growing I'm some of the
allied capitals that another peace
conference" will be necessary to
revise the treaty of Versailles.
France is the only nation. that pro,
fesses belief that another parley
will not be held. The French are
adamant in opposing another con-
ference, and is insisting that the
Versailles pact be applied to the
letter.

/" ONE scientists claim that

A robber may kick a door
down, but he isn't going to take
his shoes off while he does it.
He doesn't care anything about
your door, but he's got lots Of
respect for his toes.
A safe blower can find the

The wife of the average thug

For a while the police started
Identifying crooks by their foot

every time he met a policeman

Pretty soon he got wise and
saved himself a lot of trouble by

A. policeman would see him
without any shoes or stockings
on, and would stop and question
him, but the crook would ten the

Can you imagine how awkward
