The Postmaster at Essen and head of the telegraph construction works were arrested in consequence of the refusal to obey French orders.

There were several mine strikes when the French soldiers appear- ed, but the majority were shortlived.

Telegrams from the Rhineland show that the seizure of branches of the Reichsbank has been general throughout the occupied territory. These measures are ascribed to the German backers' efforts to remove their funds to the interior.

In consequence of the continued French occupation of the branch of the Reichsbank, private baths have cleted, announcing tha they will not open while the Reichsbank is "blockaded."

Berlin, Jan. 20.

It is officially declared that the Imperial Prussian and Bavarian Govemment regard the decrees confiscating customs and other re vennes in the Rhineland as illegal and not binding. They expect all officials to stubbornly resist, and they will be vigorously protected in the event of the employment of unlawful force.

The Formcerts states that a conference of the principal Socialist! and Labour bodies has unanimously decided that it is the duty of Labour to give all appropriate support to the resistance that is being offered to the Franco-Belgian Invasion, though the fight against re- action will be simultaneously and energetically pursued.

The Governor of Duesseldorf has written to 31. Denvignes, stating that the confiscation of the funds of the Reichsbank branches will result in the wages of officials and workmen being completely stopped, thus endangering public order.

GRAVE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

London, Jan. 20.

The prolongation of the Lausanne Conference, which has alread had a two months' session, the end of which is not yet in sight, is th subject of editorials in London declaring that the British public i becoming restive at the delays and disquieted by the absence of Viscoun Curzon from Lendon at a time of acute crisis in foreign policy.

The Morning Post points out that no solution has yet been reache on the three vital questions of Mosul, capitulations and finance, whil the intentions of the Turks as regards Thrace and Anatolia ar surrounded in mystery.

The Times demands immediate completion of the draft, of th Trea of Peace and its presentation to the Turks and Greeks fo signature or rejection.

The Daily Telegraph says it is essential to set a time limit to thes discussions. The editorial writers direct attention to the reports o Mustapha Kemal recently making speeches, while inspecting troops i the vicinity of Constantinople, of a menacing nature; and to his atter зnces, namely, demanding the surrender of Mosul and declaring the Turkey's armies, sirvager than ever, are able to realise th national aspirations if Europe forces Turkey into war.

As regards the criticalness of the situation in Europe the Max chester Guardian says the French exploitation of State forests an attachment of the Rhineland customs brings the French into the Britis occupied area, where the British are responsible for order and canno stand aside in the event of disorders. The Guardian urges the Govern ment to consider steps to prevent a situation arising, in which neutrality would no longer be tenable.

The Daily Telegraph says a neutrals and members of the Leaguj are fully supporting the proposal of M. Branting to submit the Franco German crisis to the forthcoming Council of the League of Nations.

Rome, Jan. 20.

The Giornale d'Italia hopes that Britain will support any possibl attempt as conciliation or mediation by Italy in connection with the Ruhr.
