The population, workers and trades men, afe gradually becoming out wardly reconciled to the presence of occupying forces while the re sietence of the functionaries up pears to be faltering. The opposi tion of thn Industrial magnates, however. shows no sign of abat ing. The possibility of a general rising agamst the French seems very remote. Incidents of violence may con tinue, such as the killing of a Ger tnan civilian by French sentry at Brechten last night, but conditions appear to be settling down until one rrT the warring parties ahan djfnt the economic battle. It Is 'jflp'irted the Brechten civilian who v,al killed railed to halt when challenged. Some of the sentries are rather nervous, one of them pointed his bayonet In business like fashion when a correspondent strolled past his outpost last night, although addressed in French and shown a pass. Sixty-seven barges loaded with coal, according: to official figures, have been dispatched to Stras bourg and 63 more, which were confiscated, are lying, along the Rhine awaiting tugs to tow them up the river. Tho barges average about l.OftO tons each. Ten tugs with French crews are now work ing up and down the Rhine. The coal forwarded by rail Into France Is about half the amount floated; thus the total coal the French have got out of tho Ruhr sine the occupation Is a litfle more than 200,000 tons, whereas, under the old system, they would have re ceived 40,000 in the same period. General Payot explains that the services are hampered by the ne cessity of replacing the strikers, insuring food supplies, and for similar reasons, but he expects to move very much larger quantities of coal daily to. France, at the be ginning of -next week.
