Flying squadrons of police, still

organized move to stir workers of
Europe to revolt. The action against
French occupation of the Ruhr, voiced
at 4 meeting in the Rhineland, was to

evacuation.
In announcing the decision of this
Government, Hughes stated that 'the
time has COME for the withdrawal of
the American forces from the Rhine.
Reed Is Gratified
'The steps taken by Secretary
Hughes is very gratifying" declared
Senator Reed of Missouri, author of
the resolution passed by the Senate
last Saturday urging withdrawal.
THAT step is the first to take us out
of Europe. Now If we will go after
the unofficial American representa-
tives on the various European com.

The cost of maintaining the army
Of occupation on the Rhine since the
armistice IS now in excess OF $780,

many. but so far only comparatively
small amounts have been received.
The force originally was about 49,

ESSEN HEMMED IN

oB CHttCd PFCSS
ESSEN, Jan. 10.-Hemmed in on the
west by French cavalry, infantry, ar
tlllery, tanks and airplanes, all ready
to move at word of command from
Paris. Essen, first object of Frances s
punitive occupation plans, was a city
of strained nerves today.
The population is tense. but re-
served. The uncertainty as to when
the French troops will enter the city
Is causing the most worry. Hotel
guests were notified they might have
to give up their rooms at any time.
The poilus are at Kettwig, a few
miles from here. Troops trains are
constantly arriving. They are re-
ported to be all white troops with ex-
ception Of a few Animites. Many are
quartered with the inhabitants.
The first act of the local populace to
frustrate the contemplated invasion
occurred overnight. Knowing the
French were about to come in and
start their customs barriers between
the Ruhr valley coal fields and Ger
many proper, the coal syndicate "a
sem-private, a semi-governmental coal
distributing agency dissolved it's
headquarters here and took all its pa
perS and files to Hamburg.
1t is claimed that the French will
have great difficulty with operating
mines here without the syndicates 3
apparatus.
Unions Protest
Unions having headquarters here
published a strong protest against
occupation by the French, declaring
the latter are planning an act OF
force which is a breach OF the treaty.
About $4,000 troops, including eight
regiments of infantry and six Of cav
airy, will take part in the peaceful
capture" of the wealthy Ruhr city
Just about four hours will be oc-
cupied in the advance; in that time
the horizon blue trap will have closed
in from two directions and Essen will
be under French occupation.
Germany Informed
Premier Poincare has taken steps to
inform Germany of the French plans.
Staff officers in the occupied area have
communicated with German burgo-
masters. The French ambassador at
Berlin has talked with representatives
Of the Cuno government. The Ger
mans will be clearly informed as to
each contemplated move, so they may
cooperate and have the occupation go
smoothly.
1t was learned that the French en-
gineers, upon arrival at Essen, will
commence Immediately to partition
Germany's coal production from this
region. The Germans will be per
mitted the amount needed internally
and the surplus will be divided between
France and the allies in accordance
with the Versailles treaty.

White House.
1t will sail for Antwerp. Weeks
said the troops would be back in this
country in about two or three weeks.
A small force, possibly fifty officers
and men. will be left at Coblenz to dis
pose Of the property which belonged
to the American forces of occupation.
This property, which Weeks said is
considerable, cannot be transported,
and will be sold there.
The action of the President and
Hughes follows the passage by the
Senate of Senator Reeds resolution
expressing the view of the upper
house that the Rhine forces should be
Withdrawn.
The troops are under the command
Of Major General Henry T. Allen.
Follows French Decision
The withdrawal of the American
forces follows Immediately on the
heels of information reaching this
Government that France had definite
ly and finally decided to occupy the
Ruhr
As soon as the conference between
President Harding and Hughes was
over, the President asked Secretary Of
War Weeks to come to the White

The whole gar rate case was thrown
up in the air today by n statement
by w. p. Kappes. Federal master in
chancery.
He told attorneys for the Citizens
Gas Company and the public service
commission Of Indiana he did not be-
lieve the order of reference from Fed
eral Court gave him authority to rec
ommend any fixed rate. He said he
believed his power under the order Of
reference was limited to deciding
whether a rate of 90 cents a thousand
cubic feet was confiscatory.
Attorneys for the gas company
strenuously objected to this view Of
the case. Kappes then asked that
briefs be filed by the attorneys for
the company and the commission.
If the view held by Kappes is cor
rect several things may happen.
Federal Court can issue another
order Of reference giving the master
authority to make recommendations
as to rates, the court can decide the
matter itself, or a mere finding that
90-cent rate is conhscatory can be
made. This last would have the eff
feet of passing the buck" back to
the public service commission.
In the tentative report prepared by
Kappes recently he said a rate of
81 25 was the lowest rate not conf1s-
catory. He said today he believed
he was in error and that he should
limit himself to consideration Of the
fairness of @0-Cent rate.
The statement was made following
arguments on the tentative report.
