PARIS, January 24
Everything indicates that the French have decided to cut off the Rubr from Germany in a few days. The French admit the limitation of Franco-Belgian activities to the diversion of coal trains and the seizure of Btste mines which have not produced the desired effect and have not resulted in the despatch of more coal to France. On the contrary coal is uninterruptedly moving to Germany.
