Phe vole was 2838 to 12. The chancellor chatgel that France's real object in sending troops into thr Rhineland was to gain possession of German {orri- tory. RQME, Jan. 13.-Italy today refused Fritrce's reguiest to send guards to lhe Rubt district in Ger many to assist French authorities. PARIS, Jan. 1%.-The inter-AMed reparations commission today gave Germany a forinight's grace to pay the 500,000,000 gold marks indemuity in- slallment due Monday. In the mean- time France will draw up new condi tions upon which she will consent to ___ en indemnity moraterium for Ger- yummy. \__ France's conciliatory move towards Germany was believed to have result- ed from the policy of passive resist- ance adopted by the Germans in the newly occupied zones in the Ruhr val- loy. The attitude of the Germans made it evident that France would have a difficult time increasing reparations payments from Germany even with productive guarantees imposed with military strength. Think Germany Can Find Gold Members of the cabinet are hope- ful that in the next two weeks Ger- mauy will in some way find the 500. W.,. 100.000 gold marks that are due. This is the first of the quarterly payments to fall due since the expiration of the partial moratorium granted under the so-called Brussels plan. Sir. John Bradbury, British repre- sentative on the reparations commis- sion, who is the only member to main- tain a moderate policy toward Ger- many. attended today's meeting. According to the Petit Parisien the delay is necessary to learn Ger- many's intentions. The Petit Journal revealed that there had been a disagreement be- tween French and Italian experts up- on the subject of guaraniees. The Ttalians were invited to meet the French at the foreign office this at ternoon when, it was expected, the ' difficulties would be ironed out. ' The Journal expressed belie® that | Germany might be induced to \dig { up\ hidden resources to pay the Mon- day installment of 500,000,000 gold marks if given a fortnight's grace. France may be balked in her plan . to carry out the so-called Dariac pro- | gram for creating a separate state in j, the German Rhineland if the British g continue to hold their Bridgehead po- \W.-sition on the Rhine. This position controls the principal railroads run- ning through the Rhineland which the ! would have to hold to be free to put their separationist plans into effect, |___ Difficulty is to Get Out DBuring the delay France will sound out the British in an effort to get the | British consent for French Rhineland plans. The French will request full liberty of action in the zone ocgupied by the British army of occupation so ap to preclude friction when the French set in motion their plans for creating an independent state. , The French cabinet is procéeding. «slowly and does not wish to take any neasures which would make mobili- zation necessary.

APPLEBY That 27 Booze Ships Lay Off New Jersey NEW YORK, Jan. 13-The rum running traffic, whitch was (formerly the greatest national menace against the Voistead prohibition law, has been broken up by the United States government, it was declared here to- day by Federal Prohibition Director John D. Appleby, of this district, Director Appleby's vigorous and en phatic declaration was called forth by a report that twenty-seven rum ships wore off the New Jersey coast and that 35,000 cases of contraband whis- 'key had been landed in a single day by motor boats and other smaller craft operating between the whiskey fleet and the shore. _ \Maybe ten or ffteen cases were landed,\ admitted Chief Appleby, \but no more than that. Why, all the fish- Ing 'boats off the- entire New Jersey {coast could not fand 35,000 cases 'of whiskey in a week It is ridiculous, absurd to say that much was landed: in a day.\ Director Appleby said the prohibli- tion enforcement navy which patrols the New York and New Jersey coasis raiding and driving off rum runners has been brought up fo the highost possible point of eflciency and that It has now succeeded in driving the rum fleet from the New York an? Jer- sey shores, Rum running was made so hazardous and costly that the dealers In 'dllegal whiskey were conient to turn to lawful activities, the federal official declared. that there are a few ships about twen- ty miles off the coast suspected nt having whiskey on board, but it can- not be landed,\ continued Director Appleby. \It is a fact that virtually no whiskey whatsocver is being land: ed from rum | running | vessels any more. This {Megal traffic has beor broken up by the vigilance and effi- {ciency of the government agents. It 14s untrue and absurd to say that large quantities of whiskey are being smug gled into New York and New Jersey from a whiskey fleet off the coast. ._ \Swift alert vessels of the United States prohibition fleet and coast guard cutters are on duty all the time. down the coasts watching for suspicl ous looking vessels. They have brok en the back of rum running and that {is all there is to it The- motor boats that used to carry the stuff to shore cannot break through the line. | \I think the reporter who wrote key had 'been smuggled in from the rum fleet must have been to gee a certain moving picture. He got all 'his ideas and thrills from this movie, I have seen it dnd I was able to iden- tify quite a lot of the story as parts lof the movie thrilles, - \He certainly did not have any tual faets to go on.\ !
