A recent cable describes the Ruhr region as a scene of tragic desolation. The world's busiest centre at Dusseldorf is almost without trains. There are miles of rusty rails and vast quantities of goods wagons idle. It is tragic to see thousands of idle loaded trucks, in many cases ten lines deep. The photograph shows a view of the railway goods yard at Dusseldorf, showing goods trains left standing by the striking German railwaymcn, who before ceasing work damaged the signals, etc., in an endeavour to make as difficult as possible the task of the French in taking over. —"Central Tress" photo.
