are necessitated by the developments in the Ruhr situation. Th officials continue to express a hopeful view of the outcome of the French occupation of the Ruhr despite the increasing opposition their measures are meeting. It was indicated they intended to continue their policy of moderation toward the German workmen, believing this course will eventually win over the industrial population and break down the passive resistance of the industrial lenders and the government. According to the latest reports reaching the foreign office the telephone and telegraph system is functioning in the Ruhr, but there was no information available on the strike in that region set for this morning. It was declared that up trt noon no confirmation had been received that there had been such a development.

Officials emphasized the French view that Germany, through her continued opposition in the Ruhr, would bo the only sufferer by her action and that the Germans might scion realize that they were only Injuring themselves and that further opposition would be useless. 3-BILLION MARK LOAN FOR GERMANY, NEW FRENCH PLAN It Is to Be a Domestic One Guaranteed by Reich's Chief Industrialists. Paris, Jan. 22 (By the Associated I 'ress) Presentation of the new Trench plan for a German reparation settlement, which it had been nnouneed would be given to the members of the Reparation Commission today, has again been delayed. If is expected now the plan will not i-e ready until the end of this week.

Discussion of the plan in the. Commission will not. in that event, he-pin until next week. Although the reason given for the delay is that more time Is neces s-nry to transcribe the plan and put the finishing touches to it, the developments in the German situation ara if garded in reparation circles as the main cause. The new plan provides for a German domestic loan of 3,000,000,000 marks guaranteed by the Reich's leading industrialists.

With the exception of 500,000,000 gold marks, which would be used in stabilizing the currency, the proceeds of the proposed loan would be paid on the Allied reparation account. The guarantees demanded by France ure practically tin; same as she now holds. Premier Poincare. Louis Harthou and the other French experts make i heir proposal contingent upon the withdrawal of all resistance to France's Ruhr policy or to Allied action in other ten itorb-s occupied under the Versailles Treaty. In commenting upon the fact that the plan provides for no moratorium, French officials point out that a.

two-year delay will be if Germany agrees to submit to the eorci measures permitted by the treaty. As the case now stands, it is said, there is little use in offering a moratorium it I lie German Government refuses to. recognize the treaty that imposes lie payments. Adopted. tH, hiitn and ffh-'n.

It was marked throughout by an evident deep sincerity and a careful restraint of utterance. There were no flights of eloquence, absolutely no appeal to the emotions.

Dr. Grant carried to the pulpit with him a portfolio in which were many pases of notes and these he con sulted eontinuchisly under the liKi ot the student lanm at the side ot the pulpit, so that many persons received the imIession that he was reading his sermon.

There were practically no gestures so that the sidelong sweep lie made with iiis hands when he said.

"Do you want a clergyman who is not pultetl by strings this way and that," stood out sharply in the memory. It was not an impassioned nor an emotional sermon. It was intended to appeal to the Intellect. Only at the last did tne rector strike off sparks when he asked: "Do you want an American church which believes in freedom rather than in authority? Then have. It.

Do you want an unshackled clergyman so that when he rets up in a place like this lie says so far as he knows the truth, and is not held bv strings pnlliiiK this way and that? If you want an unshackled clergy, have it." it was at the end of the address that there came a spontaneous outburst of handclapping which surprised everybody and which rati led around the sacred edifice for a lull minute while the congregation wondered when there had ever been heard applause In an Fpiscnpal church before. Dr. Grant seemed as much surprised as any one. When it died away he bent toward his notes again but a man in the gallery took un the applause once more and again there was a thunder of handclapping lasting perhaps another minute.
