RUHR OCCUPATION.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1923.

Berlin, Feb. 17. Chancellor Cuno in à speech emphasised Germany's determination. to continue passive resistance in the Ruhr, saying that "over that resolva no power in the world could triumph." It is reported that shortage of coal and coke is bringing many industries in occupied and unoccupied Germany to a standstill. The coal importers of Hamburg have decided to form large stocks ef British coal

The Garman Coal Commissioner, interviewed, said that industry in unoccupied Germany would be supplied wtih coal for a considerable period. He categoricaly denied that the country is on the brink of ■ coal catastrophe.

A message from Daweldorf states that the Minister of Poats, Herr Sting, ignoring the Frisch prohibition, entered the Ruhr on the 15th Feb. and inspected the post offices at Dusseldorf, Duisburg, Essen and elsewhere. It is not hown whether the French were aware of his presence.

The Minister of Education. Herr Boelitz, visited Bochum, Essen and Dortmund on the 15th and 16th Feb, and has arrived at Arnsbery en route to Berlin.

Landon, Feb. 17.

It is generally assumed in the morning papers that while the British Cabinet Ministars were quite ucable to reconcile the policy of benevolent neutrality in the Ruhr with granting the French and Belgians' request for fee use of railways in the British zone, they, in yesterday's negotiation, expressed their willingness to facilitate the Allies' operations by conceding the use of a short sector of railway just inside the zone. M. Trocquer, in an interview after departare, said an agreement was more than likely on these lines, but he could not divulge it. The papers emphasise that the British would prefer to withdraw emirely rather than accept the French scheme in its entirety, with the danger of involvement in the present political, economic and military complications. "If we cannot remain nentral and stay there we must remain neutral and go," frankly declares one influential journal. "The Liberal press is inclined to emphasise that withdrawal would mean the end of the Entente. The Lloyd George organ opinly suggests that the French are steadily working towards annexiation. Other quarters urge the necessity of the maintenance of the Entente. The Daily Mail alone condemns the refusal to accede to the French request.

Dublin, Feb. 17.

A proposal for a month's truce in order to enable peace negotia- tions in a favourable atmosphere has been addressed to the hands of the Irish Free State and the leaders of the Irregulars by an associs tion of the neutral members of the old Republican Army claiming to represent 20,000 men, as the outcome of the recent Peace Convention in Dublin.

London, Feb. 17.-The Council of the Lawn Tennis Association will recommend at a meeting on 5th March to relinquish the "World's" title hitherto assumed by Wimbledon, stipulating, however. that the title World's Champion- ships" be entirely abolished.

Durban, Feb. 17.—Fine wealbar prevailed and there were 10,0OO spectators present at the resump tion of the fifth and last Test Match. The wicket was faster than yesterday. England resumed their first innings with 281 for eight

It is suggested that the conditions include the suspension of all military activities and acts of aggression against public and private persons and property by the Republicans, the suspension of all Free State military activities, arrests, trials and executions. The peace- makers request replies by 23 Feb, with immediate cessation of acts of aggression. They offer to nominate a neutral Chairman of the Peace Conference, to whom they would submit proposals as the basis of negotiation. The Association appeals for the active support of the people and public bodies throughout Ireland

President Cosgrave, as his last word in a statement on the Irishwickets, but were all out for 271. peace question, says that the Government is determined to repress the anti-democratic revolt, regardless of rest, and warns the insurgents that in continuing an unnatural war after the expiry of the amnesty offer they must be prepared to pay the full price. He emphasised that there can be no going back on this. He also declares that there can be no mesting for negotiations between Government and De Valera or any of the latter's collaborators in destruction.

London. Feb. 15.

Presiden: Cosgrave's statement is most leagthy. It refers to the approaching expiration of the amnesty offer and charges Dealer with attempting to deceive his followers by falsely stating that tha Government had instituted peace overtures. It indicates that various offers of peace terms from Irregulars have been turned down. Minister O'Higgens, interviewed, said that the amnesty offer had resulled in a considerable crumbling of the rank and file Irregulars.

Surrender of Arme

Irish Irregular prisoners have joined the movement in favour of the surrender of arms. The maximum penality for refusal is 10 years Relative to the London negotiations it is staged in French diplopenal servitude and a fire of £1,000, matic circles that the British Cabinet proposed a compromise solution. which apparently will be accepted. that French military transports use the main railway lines traversing the British zone, but, only in the proportions obtaining before the occupation of the Ruhn

A message from Coblence says the occupation authorities have decided to take over the Customs of the occupied territories, abolishing the present tariff and substituting a flat ten per cent. duty on importa except certain foodstaffs.

Essan, Feb. 16.

Havenstein, Chief Burgomaster of Oberhausen, has been sentenced to three years impresment in connection with the cutting off of electricity and, as supplies at the beginning of the occupation.

A court martial has sentenced Herr Schafer, Bargomaster of Essen, to two years' imprisonment and a fine of ten million marks on a charge of preventing delivery of coal to the French. Her Buessman, Director of the Electricity Works at Oberhausen, has been fed five million marks for refcing electricity supplies.

Essen, Feb. 17)

The sentences on Havenstein and Schaefer were not expected and have consternated the population. A weeping, bare-headed crowd wit- nessed Havenstein's removal from the court, Essen is now without police, while on the contrary the French forces have been strengthened. An altercation naulting from the refusal of the hotel staff ti serve Belgian soldiers with refreshments culminated in firing in which two soldiers were wounded, after which the French dispatched a regiment of infantry amed with machine guns and occupied the police barracks. They arrested the Police Director, disarmed eighty police and seized their books and records.

German police will henceforth carry out their duties in plain clothes and unarmed.

Paris. Feb, 17.

The heavy sentences imposed on German officials mark the begin» ning of the French policy of drastic repression in the Ruhr already forecasted. Other measures to be taken include the disbandment of the security police at Essen and the arrest of its military and civilian head. These are described as only a foretaste of wha; la awaiting German official obstructionism. Some Fresch quarters assert that the Germans are abet to inaugurate guerilla warfare on the Irish pattern. It is reported that information thereanent is reaching the French authorities and possiblly will necessitats the rushing up of re- inforcements. It has been decided by the French Government to seek an immediate settlement of the problem of railway traffic in the British The outstanding sentiment in Paris to-day is that the conference in London has left the Entente unimpaired.

The outer coffin bore the re- representation of a sacred serpent with decorative design in brilliant blue glaze at the base. A feature of the chamber was a magnificenz and richly-painted status of a cat as though guarding the dead Pharoah throughout the centuries. A canopie jar probably containing the heart and entrails of the mummy was found in the canopy chamber.

Luxor. Feb. 18.

A most marvellous find of old Egyptian jewellery has been made inside the outer shrine of Tutankhamen's tomb, including a large number of scarabs, one of which, of red cornelian or jasper, is ther largest ever discovered. All are of most superh workmanship. The casket wherein it is now practically certain that the body of Tutank- hamen will be found is exclosed in three others. Ezopologists ard convinced that a most amazing-collection of jewels will be discovered when the third casket is opened.
