Ruhr Resistance and Paris Talk Over Ruhr Reparations
Berlin reports say protests over the Ruhr reparations commission persist as Premier Poincare with his cabinet avoids talks with Chancellor Cuno until the Ruhr movement advances enough to ensure German payment. A Paris interview predicts resuming coal exports to France from the Ruhr within five or six days. Elsewhere, German authorities report a small amount of smuggling through the French blockade as engineers ram the barrier to move coal to unoccupied areas. Coblenz also notes the arrest of Rhine Province president Fuchs after visiting the French high commissioner. In American news, Kathleen receives praise from The American Legion for the Kathleen musical, with a party at Armory hall and dances by local performers.
