JUSTBALIAN AND N.Z CABLE ASSOCIATION. THE RUHR COAL. LONDON. Del. 1L The “Daily Chronicle’s” Berlin correspondent says:—“Negotiations between the Ruhr industrialists and the French authorities have been reopened at Dussehlorf. This is done with the full knowledge and consent of the German Cabinet.” The correspondent learns that the German iudnstrialisis will undertake to resume the coal deliveries, though the Berlin authorities have notified their inability to comjicn.sate them. There is only one solution. Industry must hear the burden itself. Tlie German Government will compensate the industrialists ultimately, if the developments are satisfactory.

"It took," he said, “four years to complete the processes, but with the work already done, if I laid a hundred horses, it would be possible to treat three thousand patients a eighteen months, and test the serum in every country of tlie world. 1 would then jiuMisli the formula enabling the serum and vaccines to be produced anywhere. I am anxious that no serums that are hurriedly or ineffectually prepared, should he put on the market. A LOAN BLOCKED. LONDON. October 18.
