Said to Direct Effort to End Ruhr
Resistance. -
(By Cable to The Star and PhiIadslphia Public
Ledger. Copyright. 1923.
BERLIN. September 16s--EEiso sttf4
mes is leading the campaign started
yesterday by a part of the press for
SUFFICIENT concessions TO induce France
to negotiate. Reference to the un-
conditional abandonment of passive
resistance Is made in a way which a
fortnight ago no one would have
dared to publish.
Get to work harder than ever; re-
move all resistence-or starve," is
the substance Of an article express
ing the SHINES urge in his news
paper.
1t can now be definitely stated. that
feelers have been put out in Paris
and Brussels. 1t appears that the Ger
man government south to learn
whether France would negotiate IL
Germany would make definite offer.
IT has been suggested that in the
event of negotiations Belgium might
serve as an intermediary.
Chancellor Stresemann's hope is to
arrange 3 capitulation which will
smell sweeter by another name If
he can capitulate in the Ruhr with
out the German people feeling they
have been beaten by the French it
will be done promptly.
Parallels 1918 Situation.
If France is willing to accept an
accomplished fact without a nominal
proclamation of 1t, 1t will be much
easier for Stresemann. If the cessa-
rion OF resistance can be arranged
q simple matter, otherwise not.
The situation. it was pointed out o.
day, parallels that OF September. 1918,
when the government found 1t neces-
sary to end fighting and accept de-
feat Tho sentiment against such
action was just as violent as 1t Is now
about the Ruhr, but little by little
the public was made to realize the
necessity. AT the same. time 1t OBJ
fained few disagreeable impressions
of defeat. Opinion was nodded to be-
iieve that Germany stopped the war
for her own best interests. 1t will be
the same over the Ruhr conflict un-
less Premier Poincare makes capitu-
latiou so pointed that it will be gem
orally felt.
Progress has been made toward the
establishment of a new currency in
dependent of the Reichs Bank. Two
plans have been combined by COM
nroniise' between industry and agri-
culture. For internal currency 1t is
now proposed to have one bank oper-
ated by agricultural interests on a
I've basis. For foreign business
there would be an industrial bank
issuing gold banknotes partly covered
Nv the Reichs Bank. That bank also
would aid the agricultural bank

Two Men Held Here on
Suspicion May Be
Implicated
Companion, Taken to
Banning Hospital,
Disappears
By United Press Leased Wire

Ur1cshtriff Bert Underwood and
Derlt Sheriff Oswalt left this
morning for Indio with men giving
the names Of james Bennett and p.
F. West, to meet with Sheriff Ryan
Of Riverside county in an effort to
clear up the identity of a man
known as Sine who was removed
from the Banning hospital in an un-
conscious condition last Monday,
following the arrest of Bennett and
West here by. Sheriff Charles l..
Gillett.
While going to Calexico Monday
afternoon, Gillett picked up the
two men for speeding. and brought
them to the Calexico jail. They
stated they had an important en-
gagement at a MeXicali bar and for
that reason had driven faster than
they should. When asked who own.
ed the car, the men gave conflict
ing answers which aroused the
sheriff's suspicion. A third man,
said to be james Casey. was with
Bennett and West, but was not held
following an investigation by the
sheriff.
Says Sine Was Injured
The men said they left Los An
gelcs last Friday night and on the
way down, Sine had fallen from the
car and had been so badly injured
that they took him to the Banning
hospital. The sheriff telepboned to
Banning and learned that the man
was in the hospital there, and I'M
mediately released Casey. 1t is pre-
sumed the latter went at once TO
Banning with another man and re-
moved Sine from the hospital,
leaving no address with the hospital
authorities.
This information was forwarded
to Sheriff Gillett, who notified the
Los Angeles police. and investiga-
ton revealed the fact that none of
the men lived at the addresses they
gave in Los Angeles. Gillett there
upon decided to hold West and Ben
nett for further investigation. "a
Men Refuse to Talk ,..
When notified that Sine had been
taken from the hospital under mys-
terious circumstances, the sheriff
again questioned Bennett and West,
who refused to discuss the matter.
The hospital authorities said Sine
appeared to have been badly beat
Ell. Gillett then decided to clear up
the matter by having the two men
brought to Indio. where they will
be met by Sheriff Ryan and taken
to Banning. Inquiry at the Mexi-
cali bar mentioned by the men
brought forth the information that
so far as known, the men had no
engagement there.
Up to the time of going to press,
no word had been received from
Underwood or Oswalt, who are not
expected to return before tonight.
