CERMANY'S PROTEST IS NOT CONSISTENT,
 SAYS P0INCARE

PARIS, March 12.-In statement given to the Associated Press yester- day Premier Poincare declared that Germany's recent complaint against the French occupation of the Ruhr as illegal and a violation of the rights of man, seemed ill-taken in view of what Germany had been ready to do to France in 1871, if France had not paid her indemnity to Germany. Official documents, said Premier Poincare, disclose the fact that Germany was ready to reinforce her army of occupation in France to a degree necessary to guarantee her rights, and was even ready to resume the war by mobilizing half a million men.

PEACE LOOMS IN CONFLICT IN
 RUHR REGION
Both Sides Are Weary of Struggle, Say
 Observers ALL FEELING PRESSURE
Industry Is Crippled in Both Countries by
 Tie-Up

LONDON, March 12.-That there is a strong tendency toward the estab- lishment of peace in the Ruhr district is the assertion made by British cor respondents reporting the progress of the French occupation tactaics along the Rhine. Observers report that both parties to the struggle are be- coming tired of it. Both the German industrial leaders and workers are finding themselves hard-pressed, the former feeling increasingly the pinch of lost trade, while the latter see no hope of winning. At the same time their sufferings are being augmented daily. The French are also represent cd as suffering hardly less from the tie-up. In spite of their efforts at con- fiscation the French have not got what they sought to obtain. French industries are being seriously ham, pered by the curtailment in their sup plies of coal. It is indicated by the dispatches from the occupied area that the present conditions cannot continue much longer.

Steadyinq Ships

In certain steamships there has been
installed an invention to counterfeit
the rolling of the vessel at sea. 1t con-
sists of U-shaped tank. placed cross
wise inside the hull, with one arm ris-
ing on each side of the vessel. This
tank, which is partly filed with water,
is so proportional that the period Of
oscillation of the water, which rushes
from one side to the other as the ship
rolls, is exactly half the period of os-
cillation impaired to the vessel by the
impulsion of the waves. The result Is
that as the ship tips enc way the
water in the tank rises on the oppo-
site side, and, by its weight, counter
acts the effect Of the waves. The
arms Of the tank are about 16 feet
broad, and it occupies but little space
compared with the size of the vessel.
Similar tanks have been placed on YES
sells smaller than the liners.-Washing-

M0SlEMS CHERISH THE PALM
Evince Proper Gratitude for Tree That
Is Almost the Staff of Their
Lives

Save where European influence has
introduced foreign trees, it is the palm
grove alone that breaks the horizontal
green Of Egypt with vertical lines.
Moslem peoples cherish a quaint and
attractive tradition which bespeaks
their gratitude for the tree that is so
nearly the staff of their life.
When God created Adam, they say,
from the dust of the earth, there re-
manned over little handful of earth
from the raw material of His handi-
work, and with it He created the palm
tree to be mans own brother in the
vegetable world and the supplier of
his greatest needs. And the sign Of
this kinship is preserved in a char
acteristic which separates the palm
from all other trees AS man can live
though MANNED of his limbs, so can
the palm tree survive though it may
shed its bark and its branches. But
cut off their heads and man and palm
alike must die.

THE DINNER
~WAARY GRAHAM BONNtR

George Green Frog was dining with
the Sbons who lived at Gums Landing
and if you spell those words around
you will see what they really mean
George had been putting on airs OF
late and had thought his home pond
was not good enough for him and so
the Pond Fairy had taken him to see
these creatures.
He was very happy when first he ar
rived for he thought that here he
would be appreciated. In the pond
they hadn't noticed him any more than
had arrived he was asked to a dinner.
George was right on time at the party
and soon after he had arrived the din
ner began. Everyone was talking.
did you know that once we went to
a dinner where they served the soup in
cups which weren't cups at all?" asked
one of George.
Horrors, goog-a-room, no." said
George, who was already beginning to
feel out Of place now and very home
sick.
"Of course they did not know what
was what" said another who had over
heard.
But as the dinner went along the
people, to Georges mind. seemed to
grow shorter and shorter and smaller
and smaller and even their voices
seemed to die away. Then one little
person spoke up and said: 1T was

Carol knitting placidly beside the cap
tain's mother Then, as she saw him,
she laughed and blushed and looked
as II she wanted to run away.

say good-by. Worse, oh, much worse !
I'm going along, too. That is, George,
DEAR" she lowered her eyes, then lift
ed them bravely, IF you'll let me"
A rising moon that evening found
them leaning above the stern rail
watching the glimmering, foam-crested
wake. For the tenth time George was
dellghtedly listening to Carolinda's
confession. How she had met Captain
calder at the yacht club the very af-
ternoon George first mentioned him,
and SO had known she had no reason
Tor Jealousy. How Georges going
away had taught her she loved him
too much to let him go. And finally,
how she had evolved the daring, de-
licious scheme of going along, too, and
being married en- route so that the voy-
age might be their wedding trip. To
that end she had confded all to the
captains mother, who. bless her, had
approved the whole project forthwith.
But, why. darling" George wanted
to know, did you send me the bag
with directions not to open?"
