Whatever is given freely is

PRESIDENT WITH CABINET
FIRST TIME IN TEN DAYS

President Harding met his cabinet
at the White House today for the first
time since he was attacked with the
grip more than ten days ago. The
President appeared greatly improved
in health and appearance and besides
comforting for more than an hour and
a half with his official family he dis
cussed a number of matters with Brig.
Gen. Lord, head of the budget bureau,
and will late this afternoon see the
Washington newspaper correspond
ents.
1t was learned after the cabinet
meeting that besides a quantity of
departmental routine business the
cabinet meeting was devoted to con-
sideration of several important for
eign and domestic problems.
Attorney General Daugherty was
prevented from attending the meet
ing because of illness, and the only
other members not present were Sec
retary Davis of the Department Of
Labor, who Is in Florida recuperating
from an illness, and Secretary Hoover
Of the Department of Commerce, who
Is confined in his home today because
of cold.

Count de Magerie. the French am

notes to the German government pro-
testing against the mobbing Of French
officers in Munich and their expulsion
from hotels and restaurants there.
Offlcial notice that the French will es-
tablish new customs boundary around
the Ruhr zone occupied by them was
served on the German government to-
day. It is expected here that this new
measure will take effect February /

German people and, If necessary, cut
Off the rest of Germany from coal sup
plies until certain payments are made
and guarantees furnished.
Given Chance for New Offer.
1t is reported here that France has
given Germany until February Is to
make a new reparations offer, but in
circles close to the government it is
definitely asserted that Germany will
continue the present policy Of passive
resistance and encourage general strikes
and counter measures by the people in
the Ruhr territory If the French carry
out their threat.
Thursdays demonstrations in Essen,
Dusseldorf and other Ruhr cities are
accepted here as indications Of the un-
flinching determination on the part Of
the Ruhr population to support the Ber-
lin governments policy despite threats
or tempting offers on the part Of the
invaders. The prevailing opinion is
that the situation in the Ruhr has grown
worse since Thursday when French re-

LAUSANNE. January 26.-The Turk
ish delegates to the near east confer
ence answered the allied project to
adjourn the conference by the end of
next week, whether peace was signed
or not, by announcing today they
were having their passports vised for
their return to Turkey.
AT the same time the Turkish jour-
nalists here forwarded to Constanti-

that If the allies left Lausanne Feb

depart the same day. II he were not
given sufficient time to reply after
the presentation OF the allied draft
he would send his reply later from
Angora or his army headquarters, he
declared.
Cites Causes of Divergence.
Ismet's statement added that un-
happily there was divergence between
the Turks and the allies on many
points. including the disposition Of
the Mosul Oil territory and the ques-
tions Of the capitulations. war dam
ages and the disposition of the town
of Karagatsch, opposite Adrianople.
Both French and Italians rallied
rather reluctantly to the procedure
laid down by the British. and they
were careful to say last night that
there could be no question of a def
mite rupture which would lead to re-
newed war, but all will depend on
the nature Of the answer the Turks
give when the allied treaty is def
nitely presented.
Marquis di Garroni of Italy said
that the door to peace would be left
open, even after the adjournment Of
the conference without definite re-
suits, because the allies stand ready
to return to Lausanne II there seems
any chance of reaching an accord.

RUHR FACES SIEGE.

Copyright. 1928.
ESSEN, January 26.-It Is said that
the French are preparing to declare
a state of siege, for the mob spirit
seems to be growing, and an explo-
sion Is liable to take place IL the dis
content is permitted to express itself
freely.
There is no doubt that the, demon
strations yesterday were organized
as the result Of the high feeling de-
veloped through the arrests of the
industrialists. 1t is expected that the
German resistance will strengthen
and that the French will take severe
measures to keep order. The French
troops are to be reinforced and re-
grouped around the most important
Industrial areas and lines of commu-
