nearer and nearer to the sinking
freighter.

Ruhr multiplied today until
many districts were in Q state
scarcely distinguished from that
of war.
Conditions were worse at Es-
sen, where two infantry compan-
les were sent out to occupy the
town hail and French soldiers
with fixed bayonets joyfully help
ed themselves in shops and res
taurants.
The tension increased through
out the day. German nationalists
were reported preparing a dem
onstration against the invaders,
and the Fr4nch took eXtraordi-
nary precautions, fearing a coup.

break the shopkeepars boycott

tied upon Essen will probably be
imposed upon Dortmund by to-
morrow, in view + increased re-
sistance of the population there
after French troops were partly
withdrawn from the city. 1t was
stated the chief burgomaster
probably would be arrested as a
result Of his refusal to obey or
ders of General De Goutte.
Hunger is beginning to make
itself felt in several localities and
French soup kitchens are ap-
pearing hre and there. Germans
are patronizing these in some in
stancs.
Tn Wolff Agency has a report
that a German railworker was
shot and killed by q French sold

nwly occupied territory.
Th French made numerous ar
rests throughout the Ruhr and at
Duisberg threw three Jail officials
themselves into cells for six
months sentences and fined them
each $4,000 marks for refusing
to accept prisoners brought in by
troops.
Paris, Feb. 16.-Feadquarters
of the Upitary Federation of
Miners announced today that 100
600 miners have answered the
general strike call and walked
cut. Employees declare that but a
small percentage Of French
mine workers are out. and that
these are mainly communists.
The general strike order was
confirmed at a meeting of the
Unitary Federation, which repre-
sents extremists, last night, af-
ter some men already had quit
work. and delegates left early to-
