German Resistance

The Berlin Government is backing passive resistance with all its resources, and the coal masters are urging the miners to limit the output to the needs of local consumption. German multimillionaires have placed securities at the disposal of the Government for the purpose of fighting the "invader." The scenes of violence have all occurred in Bochum, where the French fired upon a crowd. This action has done much to stiffen the German resistance. The total casualties of the Ruhr occupation to date are: 9 Germans killed and 13 wounded.
