not by fluke but by hte own merit.
The analysis I made of him for

tifically demonstrates this. He
belongs to the border-line genius
class with mental development
four years in advance of his age,
eight.
With 100 as normal, Coogan’s

reaches his level.
There is big difference between

FAMINE PREDICTED
IN RUHR VALLEY
Praise Greets German
Note Saying French Are
Incapable of Running
Mines. Marks Run Low. 1
ESSEN — (By the AsociateA
Press) — The announcement at
French general headquarters. that
the customs,and torest control to
be inaugurated immediately in
the Rhineland, would be promul
gated shortly in the Ruhr, brought
forth the comment in German cir
cles that the French military au
thorities pre reluctant apparent
ly of such penalties in the newly
accupied area.
Delaying enforcement of the
measures here is regarded by the
Germans as a plgn of weakness.
They declare that the Rhineland
ers. having submitted without a
murmur to tour years' of occupa
tion. are now the first to be thus
punished.
As the French, Italian and Bel
gian customs experts completed
their plans for controlling fhe. ex
port business of the Rhineland,
which includes 70 per* cent of
Germany’s dye trade as well as
the products of the Krupp' plant
at Alx-Le-Ch&ppelle. the Ruhr
Valley offered neither resistance
nor opposition to the reques*ion-
ing of coal shipments*. ' The
amount thus taken over so far is
small. *L
There was great rejoicing Fri
day over the letter written to Gen
er»l Benvigne by Dr. Gruetzner,
president of Rhennish Prussia, in
which he declared that the
French have been responsible for
the increased living costs in the
Ruhr and that they are incapa
ble, by reason of their inexperi
ence, of administering the Ruhr
valley industries,
i FAMINE 8EEN

The communication also warn
ed the French that famine appear
ed unavoidable. In reply to the
French retort that this was an at
tempt at blackijall. Dr. Gruetz
ner asserted that export houses in
Canada and Holland which have
been supplying the Ruhr with
cereals and other food, have giv
en notice that shipments could
not be continued.
The Ffianco-Balgian order for
bidding the singing ,of “Duechland
'Uber Alles” or the “Di© Wacht
Am Rhien” under pealty of a fine
of 200,000 marks or six months im
prisonment, is received with dis
gust.
The Germans, as the occupation
begins its second week, continued,
to concentrate their resistance to
economic and financial lines. To
a neutral observer this appears
to have put the French on the de
fensive. The commission, how
ever, adopts an optimistic atti
tude asserting that the German
civilian and the Ruhr working
man will be the first tosuffer from
sufch tactics. The French assert,
that they are doing everything in
their power' to provide food for
the workers. - .
