Only Two Important Bills

NV United Press.)

Washington, March 3.-With
the clatter and bang that has
become habitual with expiring
congresses the 9th congress
was noisily but boredly working
its way today to the finish
There was no reason except the
constitutional limitation why
congress could no have met at IT,
day and adjourned at noon. lis
work was Virtually done,
Nevertheless. tremendous
show of energy was being made
in both houses. For the first
time in Gears, the ending of con-
gress found the decks clear OF
major legislation. Only bills OF
Importance were left today to be
acted on-the conference reports
on farm crdits and the third deflc
iency bill. The log jam was
cleared away wlsen the senates
filibuster against ship subsidy
ended, and since then many bills
have slipped quietly down smooth
water into haven.
But many small bills still bob
bed about today on the surface
of the legislative waters, while
congressional lumkef' jacks die
their best to pole them into posi-
tions wher they would be built
into the craft of legislation
which will make up the record OF
this congress.
IF we cannot have drama with
our adjournment, let us have g
/ few helpful little bills, that will
I be duly appreciated back home,
remarked Senator Pat Harrison
facetiously commenting on the
last minute rush to get private
and local measures through,
"This is the time YOU want tc

fingered and keep out some Of
the importunate ones whose bills
hav not found favor.

afford a great crowd of govern
ment clerks and visitors to Wash
ington an excellent opportunity
to look their last upon some
faces long familiar in the capi
tol, but which will be seen there
no more sitter noon tomorrow
There will be swan songs, al

Berlin, March 3.-The French
today occupied two of the most
important industrial centers of
the Rhine Valley-Mannheim and
Darmstadt. Somewhat later Karl
sruke was taken.
The advance of several COM
panies which seized these cities
puts che French much nearer to
Frankfurt, and the Germans fear
this city may next be taken.
About three hundred troops
were used in the occupation of
Mannheim 100 of these bringing
their baggage and camping out
in the Hills School House, while
others scattered throughout in
dustrial quarters. The Luzenberg
railroad station and the Mann
helm customs Office were oc-
cupied.
At Darmstaft, company OF
white French troops, and, accord
! ing to reports from German
sources, one of colored, marched
into the city and confiscated rail-
road workshops.

of Mannheim, the French con-
troll Rhine shipping and the Gus
toms. Posts to put this control
Immediately into effect were es-
tablished.

French in their midst.
The invaders were active in
the Ruhr as well, rounding up
officials who are to be deported,
arresting and disarming police,
while cavalry and tanks occupied
and controlled the center of Gel
senkirchen. Near Potthausen, last
night, 5000 French troops with
tanks and machine guns surpris-
ed and surrounded a company of
green police" marching 250 of
the Germans away to an un-
known destination.
The French have inaugurated
a system in the occupied areas
similar to that in effect in South
ern Ireland during the days Of
occupation by the BLACK and
Tan" British volunteer troops.
If an act of sabotage against
the invaders occurs and the cul-
prit cannot be found the entire
community is punished.
This new rule was first put
into effect at Bochum and Kett-
wig, 35,000,000 marks being taken
from the former town for an act
of sabotage, and a million marks
from the latter.
At Mayence, the French ar
rested leaders Of the railroad
workers and seized l00,000,000
marks belonging to the unions;
at Becklinghausen, they seized
60,000,000 marks.
The occupation is affecting the
dye industry, the famous Moe
chst works being compelled to
greatly reduce its production.
At Coblenz the French seized
the postoffice, whereupon the en-
ployes quit en- masse and the
telephone and telegraph lines are
not functioning.

Britain viii Play Part
If there's to be a general jubilee in
which all alike participate in order
to give the world a new start. then [
feel sure Britain will play her part
bravely and nObly
But a gerrymandsred jubilee
which frees France, Italy and
Belgium from all their debts whilst
leaving Britain sweating to pay
of debts incurred for her allies on
the strength of their bOnd-THAT
WE CANNOT TOLERATE.
I trust the British government will
insist on an arrangement with our al
lies which, even if It is not a replica
raT af
Government, will at any rate insure
us a contribution that will safeguard
US against loss under that contract.
II is, fear. hopeless to expect that
we should be recouped the shilling
and eightpence in the pound which
interest on allied debts costs our tax
payers, but at any rate we might be
guaranteed against the sixpence in
the pound which the American IN
stallments involve.
/ feel the effort is beseI with
difficulties and that the outlook
is not hopeful.
There have Of late been a few. dis
couraging symptoms. One is the Se-
ception accorded at the recent Pa ris
conference to the British prime min
isEer's liberal offer regarding int r
allied debts. It was a tactical error
to open the conference with such a
scheme, and the effect was singularly
unfortunate.
Completely Isolated
Had I been disposed to press my
criticisms on the conduct of the re-
cent negotiations in Paris it would
have been that they were so managed
that for the first time since the war
Britain has been completely isolated
at a European conference. That is
a misfortune, for it encouraged the
French government to rash action.
Up to the last conference Brit
ain and Italy had remained in sub
stantiaI accord, even when France
and Belgium took a different view,<
and Belgium had never before
quilted any of the gatherings in
complete disagreement. with Great
Britain. so FRANCE, ALWAYS

of our unwonted isolation on the
