TANTUARY- 22, 1993, TRAVEL INTELLIGENTLY, Hate and Sabata e in Ruhr Make “Auslanders’” Lot Hard Prussmn Workers Recogmze Force as TR Only Language and Keep Air Electric With Murderous Inclinations. BY WILBUR FOREST. By Cable to The ‘Star and Néw York Tribune. (Copyright, 1923.) PARIS, January 22.—If the United States were in the position of Germany. and a former enemy, in trying to col- lect war indemnities had invaded the Pennslyvania coal and industrial dis- trict, as France has occupied the Ruhr, undoubtedly the rougher ele- ment of the fndustrial workers would resent the presence of forelgn troops. But they certainly would not have be- haved like the German miners when Gen. Degoutte's forces marched into Essen on January 11. Possibly in no place glse in the world could such profound hatred be shown, not only against the troops. but against all foreigners, as in the Rubr. The Prussian population seems to have an "ls(lnc(l\e ability to “spot” a foreigner or ‘“auslander” as they are called locally, but doubtless many small indications of dress and man- nerisms inform the natives that some species different from them is wander- g in thelr midst. Their matural hatred blinds them to everything, and ey consider all “auslanders” enemies | jand suspect them of being [ of the French variety. If they do not do bodily violengce | | by attacking, a_hundred to one, some lone. foreigner they stand and glare in | dumb protest, 1f look 1d Kill there would be no “auslanders” in the Ruhr today. It is doubtful if any other race | could maintain day after day such malevolent looks of hatred. Mobs stand glumly about with murder in their hearts, while one or two of their | number well protected in the midst of the others mutter “schweinhund.” other insults. Importance of Discretion. 1f the “auslander” is wise he wij 2o on his way remembering that dis- cretion is the better part of valor, But if the forelgner forgets sufficiently | to retaliate. with well-chosen French this is taken as absolute proof by the mob that he should be the object of the revenge which all Germans hope to carry out against France. One American correspondent sin- cerely and materially resented a few German words spluttered in his face, but after a severe beating the police managed to extricate him from under a lazge number of heavy Prussians, | thereby saving his life. Force seems | to be the only language these miners understand, and they ceased mutter- ing when armored cars and gallop- ing cavalry and rumbling cannon passed, but the gloomy looks of ha- tred remained. French civilians in yhe Ruhr strive to hide their nationality. favering prudence in order to ayoid annoy- ance. But it is a question whether by buying and wearing a small green hat with ite little feather sticking up from the back one could escape the eagle eve of these hating Ruhr Prussians. This_ hatred *takes the form of sabotage. since the natives are un- ! able to find other means of protest- ing against the undesired presence of ; the “Auslanders.” The spirit of sabotage covers the entire Ruhr population, from the coal operators to the telegraph emploves. These latter are called on daily to transmit press messages telling of conditions following the occupation. Dispatches Are Delayed. Dispatches to France are regularly delayed as a sign of their dfsapproval and | of France. In the face of the im- posing military forces, the Prussians only found numerous petty ways of showing their hatred. Telegraph op- erators, speaking at least five ‘and six languages, violently protest when addressed in any language but Ger- man. One tore up a lengthy cable, cursing all “Auslanders” before the astonished correspondent. Others, with maliclous smiles, do their ut- most to impose difficulties in the way of sending messages. Those destined for France, Belgium and Italy are subjected to leave after twenty-four- hour delays, while telephonic com- munication with Paris is almost im- possible. On the other hand, Berlin cally are obtained in five or ten min- utes. The morning of January 11, before the troops appeared on the scene, the journalists from all countries were seen speeding in all directions, at- tempting to ascertain the march of events. These gathered in a large Essen cafe in the daylight seeking nourishment, but were forced to leave | before their coffee was swallowed by the angry attitude of several hun- dred Prussian miners, who surround- {ed them, shouting wild threats. Especial hatred was shown toward the film and camera men, whose lives were saved every five minutes from | the mobs by the green police. They jcannot hide their large, bulky ma- {chines and are forced to place them in conspicuous places in order to Itake scenes. Whenever they appear ‘the crowds yell: “You're trylng to commerclalize jGerman sufferings! ~You want to make money from our misfortunes!” {and then they proceed to prevent such commercialization. / Necessity for Arms. | French requisitions would be im- i possible without machine guns and bayonets at hind, which is evidenced |by” the fact that the - allies mean business. Barges and trains are like- }wise rerouted only by the point of | Buns. They are all trying to make the French debt collecting task as difficult as possible. They only have the aid so far of the green police, who are delighted with the oppor- tunity of cracking heads with Prus- sian efficiency. The Wrench milltary | authorities are even forced to ask these local police to show less ardor jin_tgeir work. Whereas originally it was thought {that 5.000 or 6.000 troops would be sufficient to protect the mission of supervision, this attitude of sabotage and hatred has necessitated rein- forcements, which now total about 50,000. The entire absence of any trouble in the face of the resentful spirit of the Ruhr inhabitants may be said to be due solely to the en- ergetic methods of the French mill- tion entirely in hand. —_—_— FIVE HURT IN CRASH.

NEW YORK, Jnnulry 22.—Ameri- can travelers abroad should giard against unfortunate results from “un- intelligent traveling,” President Hard- ing declared in a letter to the Travel Club, made public last night with the announcement of the second annual travel show to be held here the week of April 9. The Pfesident wrote: “*“I hope the Travel Club will keep in mind, as I Know it has done in the past, that ‘he who -would -bring home with him the wealth of the Indies must take the wealth of the Indies with him.’ I presume my quotation is bad, but I am sure the sentiment is good. Travelers who go abroad and find there only justification for the prej- udices and provinclalisms they take with them are not likely greatly to benefit by their travels, “1 cannot but feel in a time like the present we need to guard against unfortunate resuits from this unin- telligent kind of traveling.
