Characterizes French Advance Into Germany as an Act of War. London, Jan. 15.--A strong pro- test on behalf of British Labor against the French occupation of the Ruhr and a demand that Great Bri- tain disassociate itself entirely from the project are contained in a state- ment issued by a joint council of the Trades Union Congress, the execu- tive committee of the Labor party and the parliamentary Labor party. Characterizing the French ~ad- vance as an act of war, the protest makes six demands upon the Bri- tish government, as follows: First--To refrain from all meas- ures of support of co-operation with the French troops, such as allowing the troops to pass through the Bri- tish occupied territory or allowing this territory to bé used by the | French for any military operations. Second--To dissociate itself by formal declaration from all compli- city with the present policy of the French government. Third--To refuse to take advan- tage in any way of the French action by sharing in cash payments, coal or deliveries in kind, which may be ob- tained as the result of possible ac- tion. Fourth--To take all possible steps to secure the withdrawal of all the armies of occupation. Fifth--To support the United States government in securing sub- mission of the present dispute to gn imperial body.

S. Sims, Speak- ing at Grace Methodist Episcopal church, 8ims asserted that America "theoretically" ranked below Bri- tain and Japan because those na- tions have guns of heavier calibre. This, he declared, nullified the 5-5-3- tonnage ratio. Furthermore, ac- cording to Sims, the Wasingtohn agreement is unimportant, because it does not comtrol the building and arming of air fleets, which will fig- ure largely in the' next war. At the outbreak of the war, Sims said, the orders for the American | forces were to "go slow with the army." "If it had not been for the Bri- tish grand flest keeping the German fleet off the high seas, you Ameri- cans would be learning to speak the German language to-day," he said. Sims explained his meaning was 'that America believed the Al- lies would win the war in a short time, and that there was no necessity for putting the full strength of the | United States into the fight. Sims | also mentioned his speech at the | Hyde Park Hotel, London, which | caused him to be called pro-British. | "I spilled the beans," he said, "by {what I said. And when trouble loomed ahead, the American people came to my aid with their support. A court-martial was in sight then."

Discussion Tn the mattter has been revived here by the Cardiff Western Mail editorial of Saturday, *| stating that the Canadian govern- ment intended to demand a more definite understanding megarding the relations of Canada with the mother country and Canada's . re- sponsibility in matters of foreign policy. GERMAN VIEW OF FRANCE'S SEIZURE OF COAL FIELDS Newspaper Thinks It Is to be Able to Defy England and U. 8. Berlin, Jan. 45.--Susepicion that France is laying the malled fist on 'the Ruhr coalfields because she re- quires German coke to drive . her steel industry to the point where she can defy England and the United States is expressed by the Boersen Zeitung. The only oth8r alternative, it says, suggests that the advance into Ruhr must be considered a con- tinental affront by fhe Romanic na- tions to the Anglo-Saxon maritime democracy.

The Swiss | government, it is understood, is un- |dertaking to assist in transporting the settlers, provided the Canadian government can guamntee them em- {ployment for one year, While this {stipulation may prove a stumbling | block, Hon, Oharles Stewart, Minis- {ter of the Interior, {is getting in touch with Swiss farmers already sel tied in Canada, with a view to hav- ling them meet Fritz Beck, Special {Commissioner of Immigration for the {Swiss government, Mr. Beck is now tourihig the Dominion looking into opportunities for his fellow-country- men. It Didn't Pay Him To Be Good Samaritan Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 15.--J. L. Eubanks reported to the police that it cost him his home to play the Good Samaritan to an old friend, Saturday.

Next moves would seem to be, first, a renewed suggestion from the Unit- ed States government that the scheme informally laid before tha French government by Secretary Hughes now be considered us a formal proposition, and, second, that America join the reparations commis- sion so as to bé able to use her vot: for the best Interests of the world. For many days there has been a controversy, mostly in the press, but not without attracting the notice of both Secretary Hughes and Premier Poincare, over the exact character of Mr. Hughes' suggestion that & com- mission of financiers and €xperts be chosen by all the interested powers ta report on Germany's capacity to pay indemnity and a scheme for regular payments plus an international loan. For reasons of his own, Premier Poincate has chosen to call Mr. Hughes' suggestion an informal mat- ter and to deny that it was presented as a formal proposition. He has taken refuge in the hair-splitting de- fritions of official and unofficial for- mulas in diplomacy. At first this was looked upon with disappoint- rent. As it turns out now, M. Poin- care's attitude may be turned to ad- vantage for if the French feel Mr. Hughes' suggestion was not a "pro- posal," and hence has not been de- clined, the American . government would not object to making it again fi official form if, there is any hope of accomplishment. & EXPLOSION CAUSES SERIOUS DAMAGE Property in Hull Is Wrecked and Two Men Are Injured.

ESSN FORCES INCREASED | Germans Agree to Deliver Coal Under a Franco-Ger- man Commission. % OCUUPATION ZONE FURTHER EXTENDED Duesseldorf, Jan. France's answer to the German mine owners' refus:l to deliver coal on any terms was to ex- tend the zone of occupation, or- iginally intended to cover only the Bochum region. The new line established by General Degoutte's forces is from fif- teen to twenty kilometers fur- ther eastward, coming to the edge of the great industrial city of Dortmund. 15.-- CrP edt PE IPE IT IOS PIF EPI IP IPP B ISO Ere A AE EE EE EER EEN RY Berlin, Jan.! 15.--French troops {in the Ruhr moved on Bochum to- | day. Reports from the newly ocu- { pled zone said the French artillery |and infantry advanced from the | little city of Kettwig upon the im- portant industrial capital of the | interests of Hugo Stimmes. | The occupation of Bochum, even more than the seizure of Essen, will give the invaders a grip on one of | the main arteries of German indus- { try.

Last night troops pushed northward to Kupperdreh and Niederwenigern. ** To Deliver Coal. Jan, 15.---At Saturday's erence between the French con~ trol commission and a sub-commit- tee of the coal syndicate, the Ger- mans agreed to resume deliveries of coal under tentative arrangements to be controlled by a Franco-German commission. M. Coste, head of the commission, demanded that deliveries on the reparations account must be resum- ed Monday. The German directors ointly replied that they would de- liver coal to France on advance cash payments of eighty per cent. every ten days, with the balance on the completion of delivery. M. Coste intimated that seizure of the properties and arrests might 'be made after Monday in the event of non-compliance. The meeting closed without fur- ther result, thus apparently leav- ing direct negotiations with the in- dividual mine owners , the only {course to the commission. Pestroyed French Flag, Berlin, Jan. 15.--An incident which may result in unpleasant con- sequences has occurred at Steale, two miles outside of Essen, where the French flag hoisted by the oc- cupying troops was torn down and destroyed, says a despatch to 'Vor- waents.

When, however, the patient was lifted from the operating table, it was seen that she was terribly burn- ed about the legs and back, and, de- spite the efforts to save her, she died a few days later from the effeots of the burns. An investigation showed that de- fective wiring of electric installation had been the cause of the patient's suffering and death. The surgeon, who himself reported the exact de- tails to the victim's family, has been held by the police, charged with ip- voluntary manslaughter.

A Amecameca, Mexico, Jan. 15.-- Venerable Mt. Popocatepet] has again thrown off its snow mighteap and fs putting on a smoke epéctacle that may hg seen for 100 miles around. For the past year the volcano has been showing increasing signs of ac- tivity. At intervals it has sent forth a high column of smoke, accompanied by slight earth tremors. These mani. festations would be followed, by a quieting of tHe internal fires and it would seem the old mountain was again started on another long nap. The recent activity is more violent than for several years, scientists as- sert. Inhabitants of Amecameea and other villages at the base of the mountain. are apprehensive of an eruption of gas and ashes and are prepared to flee. Although occas- fonal sightsedrs have mounted to the crest of the volcano during the last year, none has ventured into the crater, due to the fumes of sulphur which now fill that cavity. it is regarded as unsafe to ascend within several hundred feet of the summit. The smoke column recently shot straight upwards to a height of about 2,600 feet and then spread out in the form of a fan until it was dis- sipated by the air. The awesome spectacle was witnessed by many peo- ple in Mexico City, including Presi- dent Alvarb Obregon ,who stood upon the terrace of Chapultepec. Its last eruption was in 1664. ------ Must Change Name.
