ging marked against its record
Whether state action will follow is

tion made to Gov. ]. c. Walton by To-

Informed of the abduction of Ma
than Hartman the governor imme-
diately telephoned Police Chief Moran

he was seriously considering placing
the country under martial law. but
denied that the police had connived in
the kidnapping.
Rendy to Act mt Once.
Since placing Okmulgee county un-
der martial law several months ago
with the announced intention of
stamping out lawless activities OF

traction, was seized by unmasked men
in Main street within a block of the
police station and taken in an auto

.RUHR DESOLAT|ON
REACHES WORST
Separatist Meetings Gain
Force With Increased
Chaos and Want.
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL.

Copyright. 1923.
BERLIN August 1.-THE Ruhr
now presents a desolate picture as
never before since occupation. What
has not been ruined by the struggle
between nations has been ruined by
the struggle between classes.
detailed report shows that idle
ness is general today in the smelt-
ing and steel industries. Nearly all
blast furnaces now are banked or
cold as well as most coke ovens.
Many of the largest factories are
working only four hours daily or
four days weekly. The larger part
of this work is unproductive.
The gas AMI water supply is
threatened in several localities. The
miners in the Essen district have
taken their ponies to the surface
and in some cases have stopped the
pumps. This idleness is due in part
to the French seizing the coal sup
plies. or to the blockade Of raw
materials by cutting connections be-
tween departments of the factory, and
in part to strikes for higher wages.
Workers Become UnruIy.
Unruly workers no longer pay any
attention to their leaders Trouble
is probable unless prices settle down
and money becomes plentiful.
New rumorS have il that Separatist
meetings and demonstrations are
planned for Sunday in the Rhineland
There is little doubt that these will
show a considerable increase in the
strength Of the movement in the last
fortnight. Careful German observers
concede that the Rhinelanders are
becoming weary Of the struggle and
fearful of the chaos which threatens
Germany. More than ever now would
cept a republic inaugurated by an
aggressive minority under French
protection as a refuge from French
oppression. On the one hand is civil
war, and on the other is starvation
Movement Given Strength.
Hitherto the movement has lacked
men prominent and respected in the
communities. but now numerous per-
sons of standing are becoming SYM
pathetic with this movement. not be-
cause they believe in the principle of
breaking up Germany: Many but, but because be use
the Rhineland at least from the fate
which apparently is overtaking the
fatherland.
These new developments are due to
several distinct causes-hrst. the Gu
mulative effect of the French wear
fng-down process on the inhabitants;
second, conviction from Prime Min
lister Baldwin's latest speech that no
hope can be placed in England; third.
a growing feeling that people in un-
occupied Germany have inadequately
supported the fight against the French
in the Rhineland: fourth, the threat
of social chaos following the catas-
trophic fall of the mark
At the same time the press in Paris
shows an increased interest in the
movement. Publicists. apparently
with official inspiration, are openly
speculating on the financial and po--
litical organization of the expected
republic. 1t would appear that the
chief supporters Of the movement,
both French and German. believe a
proclamation is near at hand.
