OCCUPATION OF ESSEN PLANNED (Continued from First Page) was disposed to rely on force alone to reach a satisfactory agreement with Germany. No Military Mobflization. \ Premier Poincare does not intend to mobilize a single soldier in addi- tion to the regular forces under arms, nor call out a single additional rail- road man to effect the operation, it was declared. It seemed certain this afternoon that the reparations commission would vote Germany in voluntary de- fault on coal deliveries for last year, after the final hearing of the Ger- man experts which was set for 3 o'clock this afternoon. The appearance of the Germans was considered a mere formality, as their arguments are well known to the commission. ‘The question will be decided, it is forecast, by the affirmative votes of France, Belgium and Italy with Sir John Bradbury, the British member, probably abstaining from voting. It was uncertain whether the vote would be taken late this evening or tomorrow morning, this depending upon the length of the hearing given " the Germans. America May Speak. The French plans for independent action are bound up in the comsls- sion’s decision. It is considered prob- able that Roland Boyden, the Amer- fcan representative with the repara- tions commission, will have some- thing to say on the question . before the final vote is taken. It is customary to call upon the American unofficial delegates when important decisions are to be made. Mr. Boyden, it is helleved, will point out that while the default of GWS| many is clear, the circumstances un- der which it occurred were such as should cause the commission to ac- compapy its decislon with a state- ment of facts. Mr. Boyden, It is also thought, holds the opinfon that the facts of the case show that Germany is un- able to complete the remaining 20 per cent of her deliveries because of such shortage at home and that her punishment, , therefore, should be tempered to fi! the clrcurnntn.ncel. FRANCE HAS NOT REJECTED POLICY (Continued from First Page) an unqualified the scheme. Officials would not indicate wheth- er they had any reason to expect a further communication from Paris prior to the actual occupation of the tuhr by French forces. It evidently as desired in Washington, however, that the American public should un- derstand that the Washington govern- ment had lost no opportunity to pre- sent its conclusions and suggestions in such fashion that the French at the conference that had been post- poned included the direct intimation that adoption of the American plan night well lead the way to economic help for Europe from the United States. Official Diecussion Conversations between President Harding, Secretary Hughes and Am- bassador Harvey with reiation to the Luropean situation are continuing but | at no time has any light been thrown by officlals on the specific nature of these talks. There is no question that the American government is planning to keep the way a!ways opén for Am- | erican ald direct or indirect, through | the plan suggested, or in any other manner which may appear practic- able.

EMBASSIES T0 BE PROBED Complaint Will be Made to Foreign .Governments if Dry Law In Wash- ington is Being Violated. ‘Washington, Jan. 8.—A close_check has been inaugurated by federal pro- hibition authoritles on liquor ship- ments consigned to foreign embassies and légations here with a view to de- termining whether disproportionate supplies are being brought through the American customs to thase fa- vored destinations. If the investigation discloses that an embassy or legation is recelving supplies out of proportion to the needs of its staff for personal use and official entertaining the state department will be asked to call the situation Yo the attention of the for- elgn government involved. The watch on liquor supplies of foreign legations was an outgrowth of charges that some legations in ‘Washington are being used as the medium of supplying the. local boot- leg trade, it was said officially to- day. Federal authorities declared, however, they had not received an official report on the recent police raids which are said by police officers to have developed evidence indicating some definite basis for these charges.

'ALEX SCHAUFFEL'S CLATH IS DISALLOWED BY FARRELL Brasscos’ Backstop Will Not Get Two Weeks’ Pay He Sought From the Toledo A. A, Club ‘ Waterbury, Jan. 8.—Secretary John | Farrell has handed down a decision |in which he disallows the claim of | Catcher Alex Schauifel of the Water- bury club against the Toledo club. Schauffel was let out by Toledo to Wa- terbury last year and the catcher claimed the Eastern League season was two wecks ghorter than the! American A#sociation schedule and he thereby lost two weeks' pay which amounted to about $200. Schauffel claimed he lost out on the deal because the Toledo club failed to recall him. It apgars the national agreement does not force a club to re- call a player if he has been let out to another club, so Schauffel lost his claim. “Cabinet Baby” The only child born to a Cabinet Member during the Harding admin- istration is little Jean Aliys Davis.

Heydler, presi- dent of the National league, said last Fans Yearl night in declaring that the series last| year had brought about a practical |y cessation of crime throughout the country. “So many minds were centered up- on the battle between the two elubs,” Mr. Heydler said, “that no time could be found fof mischief. I noted a de- crease in crime but was not aware of the extent of the decrease until in- formed of it by a noted Washington criminologist.” “As to Sunday baseball in general,” Mr. Heydler added, “ministers have told me that Sunday baseball, rather than being a detriment to church at- tendance, has been a help for the rea- son that when a person knows he can find amusement in the afternoon, he will go to church in the morning.” KEEPS UP (00D WORK Joe Moore Skates His Way to An- other Championship Title in Tour- ney at Yonkers, N.

We meet to sei- tle the largest single financial transac- tion, I believe, between two friendly nations, in the history of the world. ‘We are here to arrange the terms of the payment of the British debt to the United States. That debt was con- tracted in a common cause. “It was the first contribution made by the United States to save civiliza- tion from being engulfed and free people being brought under the de- structive rule of a military autocracy; it was” followed by the contributitn of the manpower of the United States whose soldiers fought so gallantly with our allies for the same purpose. “The payment of our debt to you involves more than the transfer of huge sums from London to Washing- ton. It must affect the future well teing of both countries and on their prosperity depends to a large extent that of the entire world. The settie- ment we make here will determine the condition and material welfare of the great mass of wage earners in Gréat Britain and the United States, their wives and children. “The payment of our debt to you will impose upon us the necessity of levying heavy taxes to meet these payments. From the beginning of the [war we were the heaviest taxed na- tior? in the world. The total annual per capita taxation in Great Britain |is today stiil greater than that of any cther people. It amounts to more | than $100 per head of the population “I invite you to consider my views |as to what this means and how I fear it will affect your own wage earners (1o less than ours.
