Throttled
French Occupation Of Ruhr
Not Success So Far as
Exacting Reparations
Is Concerned.
May Result in Famine
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

London, July 18.-Britain says that
The Ruhr occupation, besides being
illegal, is not success. France says
would join it in forcing Germany
10 cease resistance, and that it will
make 1t a success anyhow * given
time.
AS in most arguments between
present facts and future expectations
present facts have the best o: it. And
the present fact Is that the Ruhr
occupation most certainly is not a
success. so far as exacting reparations
is concerned. and can be regarded as
a success only if by success is meant
bringing about the disruption of Ger
many.
France publishes statistics show
ing an increasing production of goods
in the Ruhr factories, though adj
nlitting that the present production is
only about 25 per cent Of normal. All
statistics on conditions in Germany
are out OF date before they are COM
piled. But you do not need Stats
tics when on weekday forenoon you
look out across iron works as big
as those at Bethlehem and see not
one human being in sight, not one
car or piece of machinery in motion,
nor when you see across the acres of
railroad tracks and switches as big
as those at the Pennsylvania terminal
at Jersey City and not one car in
motion but every track rusty. nod
when you see stalks of wheat three
feet high growing out OF a railroad
car that must have stood at one spot
since early spring. Nor when you see
beds of high woods growing between
tracks.
Fuel and Food Famine Looms.
Railroad operation in the Ruhr by
the French is not anything like 25
per cent OF normal. A British labor
leader who is practical railroad man
and has examined the Ruhr told me
that II would take 100000 skilled
French railroad men working steadily
for one year to restore the Ruhr rail-
road operation TO normal.
-. The Ruhr occupation is most Ger
tainly not a success so far as produc-
ing goods for reparations is con
cerned On the contrary, the real re-
suit of the Ruhr occupation indus
trially Is paralysis in Germany. over
flowing into Belgium, Holland and
England and promising an acute fuel
and food famine before the winter is
over
Neither is the Ruhr occupation a
success in other respects. Tho Brit
ish occupation Of the Rhineland is a
success in the sense that the people
are contented, not resentful. But
the area Of the French occupation is
showing Increased resistance, and the
vicious circle OF violence is bringing
on counter violence.
The French army conducts tho oc-
cupation in a much less skillful spirit

First Lady Game to End
BY Universal Service.

Seward, Alaska, July 1s.-Presi-
dent Harding is back on the sea-
coast today, after long journey into
the interior of Alaska, and has de-
voted himself to getting a much need
ed rest. He spent most of the morn
ing on board the Henderson. going
over mail brought in by steamer and
accumulated during his six-day alb
sence. In the afternoon he took an
auto ride around Seward, and fish
ing trip to nearby stream was also
planned.
Mrs. Harding was content to spend
most of the day on the ship also,
having been greatly fatigued by the
long rail trip from Fairbanks. Delays
on the downward journey caused the
party to reach here at 1880 Tuesday
night. several hours behind schedule.
and the entire party was glad to re
turn to the decks Of the Henderson,
and is looking forward to the cor.
tinuation of the voyage TO Seattle
and California.
Mrs. Harding Game.
Although the trip TO Fairbanks and
back proved the supreme test OF Mrs.
Hardings strength, she was game to
the limit and. except for the relaxa-
ton taken at Fairbanks, went through
the program arranged for the party
at every point along the way. Her
courage and persistence were great
ly admired by the other women in
the party. few of whom could have
stood It as we'll as she.
The folly Of the Wilson administra-
ton in purchasing from the Morgan
and Guggenheim interests the strip
of railway from Seward TO Anchor
age as part OF the government line to
the interior, was eloquently Illus
trated on the return journey Of the
presidents party Tuesday
The road was purchased for
fabulous sum by the government and
had to be entirely rebuilt and
changed to standard gauge. but the
route was so difficult that the govern
ment engineers have not yet been
able TO overcome all the engineering
difficulties.
Many Steep Grades.
Steep grades and numerous tunnels
make the traffic situation difficult
and one of the worst OF these Is

fore getting down To the new level.
When the presidents train arrived at
this point the engine proved unequal
to the task of pulling the six cars in
the train up the grade and through
the tunnel.
Finally 1t was necessary 10 cut the
train in two, leaving. the presidents
car and two others standing in the
middle Of the trestle, 800 feet above
the rushing stream. while the engine
pulled the first three cars up to the
siding, then going back Tor the re-
mainder. The president felt decidedly
uncomfortable when he found himself
stranded on the high trestle with the
cars held only by handbrakes.
1t was nearly an hour before the
first portion Of the train was hauled

London. July 1S,--The development
today in Liverpool of = serious phase
of the lockers strike. interfering with
transatlantic shipping from that port
and stopping other traffic out of the
Mersey. came as a setback to the
hopes OF peace held out Sere az the
result of the executive body of the
transport union having decided to
call a conference in London OF strik.
ers from all the ports involved. This
call followed preliminary negotiations
at Manchester yesterday.
The critical state OF the strike situa-
tion was indicated by the decision Of
the London carriage companies con.
tractors that unless the men returned
TO work Immediately steps must le
taken to safeguard London's food
SUPPLIES. Some prices, particularly
those for fruits and vegetables. al
ready are soaring. Lemons have in
creased 1000 per cent and oranges
100 per cent in prices and stocks Of
bananas are rotting in the holds Of
ships in the harbor. The people how
ever have been warned that there
is no justification for increases In the
retail prices OF other commodities
The dock workers IN Bristol, Avon
mouth aud Portishead have rejected
an appeal from the London strikers
and the union officials there do not
anticipate further trouble. The men
in other ports in the Bristol channel
are at work.
II is estimated that 10000 men are
on strike.
The strike, which began In Hull on
June 2, was not authorized by the
union leaders. 1t was started as a
protest against a reduction in wages
of one shilling per day through a
national agreement.
