Secretary Hughes Faite f© Stop French Ruhr Move. Washington Administration F**l*v Paris Deliberately Ignored Amerw ica's Good Offices. Washington, Jan. 12.--It was made dear by a high official of the government that the action of the French government In seizing the Ruhr was taken net only over the protest, but against the earnest advice of the United States. It was strongly indicated that the French deliberately Ignored the offers of the United States, spurned the advice given and determined even in advance at the Paris conference to go ahead with the seizure of the Ruhr. The American action in withdrawing the troops from the Rhine, therefore, Is distinctly In the nature of an emphatic protest by the United States against the French action and cannot be construed In j*ny other way. While the spokesman for. the administration regarded as "water once over the dam," the efforts which were made by the United States to cause some other policy to be adopted than of the Ruhr seizure, it was made plain that the United States government went almost to the uttermost limits permitted by diplomatic usage to mediate in the situation and in effect said to the French: "We are willing to do anything we «?an. If you do not ndopt our suggestion, tell us how we can be of use." - . FRENCH TO PAY THEIR WAY! Army Officers at Essen Announce France Will Make Gooo All Requisition Payments.

America Win Refuse to Sell Arm* to the tarope^W^ ll&tions, ;^v BBS SALE OF SURPLUS STOCK Decision of President Is Based an Belief That American Feeling la • Tfcet Day for Armed CenftteT:, . . . . ' | S p a s s e d . Washington, Jan. 18.--The United States government has adopted a policy of refusing to sell arms either to government or to individuals when It seems likely the weapons will be used in conflict, it was announced at the White House. Coincidentally with this .announcement, It was stated officially that this government had received Information from "a diplomat of a business mind" that a certain European government was in the market for half a million rifles if the United States had a surplus stock it cared to dispose of. President Harding, it was stated, informed the State department that the proposal was not to be considered and that It should not even be brought to the at* tentlon of the War department. The White House spokesman declined to Identify the nation wishing to purchase arms beyond stating that It was none of the powers now engaged In the controversy over reparations In Europe. The decision of President Harding, It was stated, was based on the belief that American feeling generally is that the day for armed conflict Is passed. The White House spokesman recalled that more than a year ago when troops were sent Into West Virginia It was discovered that many of the arms being used by the combatants there had been purchased from the government. Upon learning of this fact, It was stated the President Immediately ordered the sale of surplus arms by the War department to be stopped. While this Is the attitude of the government toward the strie of artifk it was made clear that there is no law in the United States prohibiting the sale of arms by private firms. Though the name of the country referred to by the White House spokesman was not disclosed, it is know that some weeks ago official representatives of France took up with the War department reports that half a million rifles were about to be shipped from New York destined for soviet Russia. The report stated the rifles were to be trans-shipped by Russia Into Turkey, which was believed at that time to be receiving considerable quantities of supplies from the soviet government. - .'{v.1* ;,"?** *'• 4 One ftrson Killed and Several Wounded in Clash With S < Fwwh.

Veteran members of the legislature agree that a comparatively small amount of legislation will be passed at this session. The opinion Is based chiefly upon the small number of bills already Introduced, as compared with bills Introduced thus early in previous sessions.

Igoe, Democrat, to impeach Governor Small. , There Is a strong movement on foot to get down to business immediately and dispose of the bulk of the proposed legislation In the first part of the session, so that the legislature litay adjourn a month earlier than has been Its custom.
