WHOLE RUHR BASIN
is NOW OCCUPIED

PARIS, Jan. 15.-French and Bel
gian troops now occupy the whole
Ruhr basin, and have reached the
limits of that neutral zone, 80 miles
in depth. in which the Germans are
barred from having reichswehr or
regular garrisons. The troops are
at the gates of Dortmund, where they
were ordered to stop for the present.
In view of the progressive OBJ
stinancy of the German attitude, how
ever. it has been decided to extend
the advance Tuesday, occupying
Dortmund and establish troops in the
northeast, east and southwest, com
pletely commanding the important
railroad functions.
The promptItude with which the
French are countering obstruction
appears to be having It's effect, at
least on the Industrial magnates, and
there are indications that they will
not persist in their refusal to deliver
the Preparations coal.
