 The French superior delegate of the Rhineland high commission, ac- cording to a report from Trier, has issued a formal order to the old town officials that they must continue to function under the new government, as the separatists have been recog- nized as the de facto administrators of the town, and all attempts to change the present form of govern ment would be suppressed by arms.
 French and Belgian troops continue to guard public buildings in all the towns where separatists are in stalled, and the maintenance of order has devolved largely upon them in some cities, Particularly Coblenz where the green capped separatist police have been withdrawn entirely.

FORBES EXPECTED
 TO DEFEND. SELF
Principles Of Teapot Dome Lease Basis Of Probe By
 Walsh Committee
By THOMAS L. STOKES heased Wire To Age-HeraId,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Impor- tant developments are expected next week in the sensational drama which has occupied the stage here for the last few days, and has stirred the capital to the fever heat surrounding a session of Congress several weeks before the actual scene opens.
 It is being played in two large committee rooms in the Senate office building, one on the main floor where former Secretary of the Interior Fall and his connection with the Sinclair interests is being diligently inquired about; the other on the fourth floor, where a vigorous investigation of the U. s. Veterans Bureau is being con- ducted by major general who dis tinguished himself overseas.
 Both are expected to proceed next week with the committee rooms packed. They went along rather prosaically last week until a thin. mask-faced man told a startling story about graft In the Veterans tana, democrat, began to display an eager curosity about the teapot Dome lease.

 Charles R. Forbes, former director
 
 to be called to deefnd himself next Tuesday or Wednesday against the charges of irregularity in handling government money made last week by EliasH. Mortimer, a former con itracting agent. Forbes is in seclusion here and is in poor health. He has issued a categorical denial of all that Mortimer calmly recited to the com mittee.
 Forbes has intfmated that he also has a story to tell, and standing room is expected to be in demand when he appears. It is also expected that the wife of Mortimer will be placed on the witness stand It was through her that Mortimer met MT Forbes, and she was frequently men toned by her husband in his story last week.
 Experts Uphold Falls Claim.
 The administration forces have had the better of the opening sessions, as 6 result of the special report of eX- pert geologists, who upheld the claim made by Fall when he made the lease that oil was leaking from the naval reserve to adjoining private lands and being lost to the govern ment
 However, Walsh has made his fight on the principle of the transaction, and has been able to bring out much testimony that will be freely used by democrats and progressives in the next Congress. He is understood to have other cards up his sleeve to be played next week.
 Outside of the hearings on Capitol hill, there also has been stir down town the past week, bacSfire from the recent governors conference.
 Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, announced that he is considering placing a prohibition agent in every 1. in leakage of hfgh-powered beer from establishment which now operate un- der license to produce cereal bever- ages of less than one-half of one per cent alcoholic content.
 Governor Pinchot, after the SoVer- nors' conference, placed his finger on this sore spot in vigorous state ment in which he practically dismiss ed President Coolidges conference as being of no effect.

AN ENTERPRISE THAT MERITS
YOUR SUPPORT

Notwithstanding the amount of
shipping that is now lying idle in the
harbors and at tn edoclJs of the
United States, ocean travellers are
still obliged to pay high rates for
trans Atlantic travel, and an unpar-
alleled opportunity to build up the
American Merchant Marine is being
lost. Recognizing this fact, and real
izing that the time was opportune
for an undertaking of this nature,
the organizers of the Great Northern
S. S. Co. formed their Corporation,
which received it's charter from the
State of Massachusetts, October IL,
1922.
They visualized new ocean stem
ship line, plying between Boston and
European ports, controlled by the
people, which would offer to these
same people chance for oceantravel
on comfortable commodious ships, at
a price within the reach of all, but
large enough to allow profit for the
investor and a sufficient margin to
allow for the carrying on and enlarg-
ing of the enterprise.
This was their threefold purpose
to render genuine service to the
people,-to help build up American
shipping, to bring business and
trade to the port of Boston.
In spite of the failure of the Ship
Subsidy Bill, in spite of the opposit-
ion which each new competitor in an
established field encounters, this
Company is bring its plans to ma
turity and expects that very soon it
will be able to offer definite sailing
dates to the public.
This, surely, is an enterprise that
merits your support.
