RHINE RESORTS APPEAL
 FOR SUPPORT FROM HOME
Germans Would Not Patroni1e aj Watering Places In Area
 Occupied by French

Nieshaden, Oct. 31. Since the Dawes plan has been adopted and the French have released their con- trol of important railway functions outside of the area occupied under the Versailles Treaty this impor- tant resort hopes to regain much of the tourist business it enjoyed in pre-war days.
 Tn 1913 Wiesbaden had 200,000 visitors; last year It had only TO- coo. It not only lost its foreign patrons because of the upset condi- tions of the through train service and the many difficulties caIA,d by the extension of the French occupa- ton. but Germans also refused to avail themselves of the local min eral springs because of their dis like of the French occupation forces and their unwiningness to patronize railways operated by the French.
 All the German watering places in the French occupied area have joined in an appeal to the German public to patronize them, and not let them Sall into bankruptcy. The Rhine steamer traffic has again be- come normal. The entire Rhine area is hopeful that Germans will no longer avoid their most celebrated river, merely because French, Bell gian and English forces are occupy ing it's shores.

Richmond. Va. Nov. i. - Henry Ford has been asked to buy Will liamsburg. ancient capital of vir- ginia, and restore to 1t the quaint and picturesque beauty of the Revo- lutionsry period. It then would be preserved as a living lesson in American history for future genera tions.
 Tho suggestion. which MT. Ford k said to be considering. was ad- vanced by pr. W. A. R. Goodwin, of William and Mary College. through William Ford. brother of the auto mobile manufacturer.
 Under the plan MT. Ford would purchase a large part of the present city of Williamsburg. at an aGti- mated cost of between s4,00o,s00 and $5,oo0, 900. 4 Colonial Holding corporation then would be formed, according to Dr. Goodwin's sugges- lion, to which the city would be turned over to for all time. The task of re-creating the colonial seat of government would go forward under the direction of the holding corporation. All evidences of mod ern days would be removed.
