UNBEARABLE.

Life in Ruhr. OMINOUS POLITICAL POSITION. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSN.—COPYRIGHT (Received midnight, July 10.) LONDON, July 9. Tho Berlin correspondent says the segregation of the Ruhr makes existence increasingly unbearable for the workers. Therefore, from their representatives, there goes out a continual pressure ou the Governmeut to keep the policy moderate so that no chauco of coming to terms with France may be lost. At the same time France’s Ruhr policy is driving nationalists of tho Right to more violent opposition. The results of the provincial elections suggest that the Centre Party is going to the wall and tho Cuno Government is becoming more susceptible to the Right. As a matter of fact the heads of any Government giving signs of readiness to parley would be in danger of assassination by the murder bands of the Right. Conditions are becoming like those of 1918, but this time the Right does not mean to be stabbed from behind by a revolution of the masses without a struggle. It is getting ready to fight and means to get its blow in first.
