Early in Jan-- " cary the allied premiers held a futile conference in Paris, and Trance pre-.- .. pared for separate action to collect from Germany. About the same time Secretary Hughes announced the United States would npt consider Berlins European proposal for' a peace pact and also informally advised France not to occupy the Ruhr. France, however, was determined, and the reparations commission gave her the opening by declaring Germany In willful default in coal deliveries. Germany formally protesting and Great Britain not approving, the French on January 11 began the occupation of the Ruhr, seizing its most Important cities one after another. President Harding expressed his disapproval by recalling the ' American troops from Germany. Chancellor Cuno, with the of the reichstag, declared a support " moral war of passive resistance and ordered all state employees not to obey the Frefich. The mine owners and ater the industrial magnates fell 'n with this program and for months the French were balked in their effiMs to get any considerable revenue from German four-pow- the region. They seized customs, bank funds and railways, and arrested many Industrial leaders ahd officials,' bat the passive resistance was not- - broken until late in September. The occupation was assisted actively by Belgium and passively by Italy. Great Britain, though site did Dot actually hamper the French, gave them no help.

Washington treaties on reduction of armament and concerning the Pacific were ratified by Italy in February and by France in July. Through the efforts of an American commission sent to Mexico, the government of our neighbor was finally brought to amireccable terms and the ognition was accorded by Washington on August 31. DOMESTIC AFFAIRS Overshadowing all other events in the United States was the death of President Warren G. Harding. He had long planned a trip through the Middle and Far West and to Alaska In order to talk with the people and Though tired out get their reactions. and far from well, he started on June 20, accompanied by Mrs. Harding and several members of his cabinet. After delivering several important addresses, notably one advocating American membership In the World court, he sailed to Alaska. Returning thence to San Francisco, he fell ill there on July 28. Four days later, on August 2, he passed away. The taking of his body the services back to Washington, there, the trip to Marion, Ohio, and the interment there of the little towns distinguished citizen on August 10 gave the people of the country ample opportunity to show In what high esteem and affection they' held Mr. Harding. Literally the entire nation mourned sincerely, and all the other nations gave expression to thel- - grief. Vice President Calvin Coolidge took the oath of office as President at his fathers home In Plymouth, Vt., and assumed his new duties at once, retaining the entire Harding cabinet and announcing that he would carry out the Harding policies where possible. It had been taken for granted that the Republican party would nominate Mr. Harding in 1924, and Mr. Cool-ldg- reparations . offer of $7,500,000,000. with 'many conditions, and it was immediately rejected by Franca England also declared the offer insufficient.

Chicago DISASTERS Unequaled in modern times was the disaster that befell Japan on September 1 when violent earthquake shocks and resultant fires destroyed Yokohama entirely and about of Tokyo and ruined many smaller towns. The number of killed was estimated at". 225,000, and the injured at more than half that number. Though many of the houses were flimsy, tlie propTlie hunerty loss was enormous. dreds of thousands of refugees suffered severely, hut the American government and the American Red Cross were swift with relief measures, and other nations joined in the work. Shiploads of food and millions of dollars were rushed to the stricken land, and the Japanese government was materially aided in its task of rebuilding the runed cities.
