BRITAIN'S DEBT DECISION.

Washington, Feb. 1. President Harding is highly pleased, with the news of the British most Government's debt decision. Mr. Hughes termed the news gratifying. Mr. Smoot, of the Debt Funding Commission, opined that Congress would pass the necessary legislation and not delay the Bill, which will probably be introduced on Monday.

New York, Feb. 1. The immediate effect of Britain's acceptance of the debt funding proposal was the appreciation of foreign exchange and foreign bonds. The heads of the leading Banks regard the decision as the most im« portant and constrictive step since the war. Prominent business men are predicting that sterling well soon return to normal.

THE RUHR OCCUPATION.

Essen, Feb. 1.

Complete stagnation reigns, The Post Office has closed and telegraph and telephone communication has been severed. The rail- ways are running only a skeleton service. As regards customs a cordon of French troops has up to the present taken up positions at a number of stations, but the Eastern end of the Ruhr remains open, permitting unrestricted communication with Cermany. The French have occupied the Customs offices at Duesseldorf, collected the German customs tax and expelled the officials.

The shortage of railway trucks is keenly felt. For example, yesterday, although 13,000 were ordered for coal and foodstuffs there was a shortage of 5,000, while to-day 7,000 are available compared

with 17,000 ordered.

FRENCH NOTE TO TURKEY.

London, Feb. 1.

Pending publication of the actual text of M. Poincare's note to Angora, the papers in London have generally reserved comments on the occurence, which was sensationally headlined yesterday; but while not wishing to attach too much importance to the incident regret the indirect fashion the news of the French Government's eleventh hour view reached London, as calculated to lead to further Anglo-French estrangement, with consequent reaction on the situation in Europe.
