However, it is Uignificanlt in View of known Belgian lack of enthusiasm for the enterprise that the Germans on Friday paid on time the 48,000,000 gold! marks due Belgium. Belgium military difficulties acre emphasizal by the decision to keep the present Glass with the colors an- other three months. This wil'l enable the cpmplete seventh divisdon of 7,000 men to remain in the Ruhr. Despatches from Dusseldorf show 1,200,000 tons of coal are now stocked at Ruhr pitheads ready for transpor- tation to France and Belgium on the “Foch plan" By the end of the week, it is said, 3,000 tons \Vi‘l'i ‘be transport- ed daily to the two countries.

For instance, many farmers have taken advantage of present conditions to seize other people’s land, and in frequent cases use other people’s grazing ranches on which to pasture their cattfle without costs.

Cbblenz, March 18.-The Inter- Allied Rhineland Commission has promulgated two ordinances with a view to assuring resumption of rep- arations in kind from Germany. One prescribes the seizure in the occupied territory of machinery and other objects, also animals belonging to the German Government and ear- marked for restitution in Conformity with the treaty of Versailles. The other authorizes seizure of goods and property beionglng to the Allied Governments or their nationals in these territories, but not in their possession. Declaration of possession of such articles must be made to the Interâ€"Allied Commission, the ordina- ncce provides. The latter ordinance aims at counâ€"I teracting the orders issued by the German Government that its nationf als refuse to deliver to the Francoâ€"i Belgians goods contracted for on the reparations account. The penalty prescribed by the ordinance for such refusal is a fine of 50,000,000 marks or imprisonment for not more than five years. 1 NE‘N S ITEMS CARRIED ACROSS NORTH POLE Canadian Liner on Pacific Re- ceives Tidings from Station in England.
