They have occupied Glamis Castle for ONLY 12.230 TONS OF COAL SENT TO FRANCE Food Scarcity Threatened While Prices Constantly on Increase. A despatch from Essen says: The total number of coal trucks the French have taker: out of the Ruhr from the occupation to midnight of Feb. 12 ai 1,223, according to reliable sources. Each truck carries ten tons of cool. These do not irrrhide the trucks which were in thi: Rhineland on the way to Franc* vAmn th invasion began nor do they intf'ode a small amount, of coI sent by river aiyi canal. To create the hnpresTJon th-at a con- tinuous supply of coal trucks have been going to France the French hav been sending leaded trucks back to repeat the trip.

So far as can be learned seven men and one little girl have been kil'-ed so far in tie Ruhr "war." German and French counts vary o widely it is im- possible to fix individual responsibility for the incidents.

The results of this absence from school became apparent to pupil, teacher and parents a few years laicr. How fortunate the child was to have a teacher who took the trouble to investigate.
