After avacuating the guests of the Kaiserhof and Handelshof hotels pesterday the French dispersed a crowd outside, soldiem advancing with fixed bayonets and officers naing riding whips. A machine gun had to be fatched to complate clearance. Small labels are appearing on walls and abop windows everywhere in the Rahr ex horting the population to obey only the German Govern neut.

RUHK AND TEK, TURKA.

LONDON, February 18. The King's speech at the opening of Parliament, ferring to the Ruhr, says that the Goramment, while foding unable to concur or participate in the operation, is acting in such a way so will not add to the difficulties of the Allies.

It greatly regrate that despite the conciliatorineus of the Allies they immense concessions they were pre- pared to make to the Turkish delegation atLausanne were declined when the Treaty was on the verge of signature. It hopes that the Turkish Government, when it had received a full report of the proceedings, may still be dia posed to accept the Treaty and that the opportunity es earnestly and laboriously prepared of rebuilding the pesse of the Fast and the stability of the future Turkish state may tot beszorificed.

It welcomes the prospective settlement of the British war debt to the United States, reflecting the determination of the British to meet their obligations.

Ministers must continuously give attention to the serious unemployment. The recent increase of oversea trade gives ground for confidence and future hopes that the improvement will be continued. It particularly anticipates a greater development of inter-Imperial trade in co-operation with the Government of the Empire...
