Paris, Aug. 25. - French political
circles were surprised by the news of
the Anglo Persian treaty, and are now
doubtful concerning Great Britain's
external policy. 1t seems that the
treaty was not laid before the peace
conference. The French are wonder
ing if there may be further secret
treaties of which even Premier Glenn
enceau does not know.
While the newspapers severely GEN.
sure the British policy. they point out
that France is partly to blame for
having permitted England full sway in
the near east. where there are huge
French interests.
While the Persian treaty furnishes a
topic for general discussion just now
there are questions quite as delicate
which hold up other treaties. The
conference seems to be cropping in the
dark for a solution of various prob
lens.
Grave news comes from Silesia and
Poland. Because the conference SEEM
ed too weak to take a definite stand
in regard to Silesia. the Germans,
Poles and Sparticists are today fight
ing the matter out with the result
that coal production is seriously cur
tailed. There is talk of sending al
lied troops into Silesia, in an attempt
to set matters right
Another problem awaiting definite
solution concerns Hungary, Roumania
and the little new states in central
Europe.
1t is acknowledged that all these
matters are calculated to retard the
establishment and the functionlng of
the league of nations. Colonel House
is reported to have been engaged for
some tine with the British conferees
in an effort to have the league in
working order as soon as the treaty
with Germany shall have been ratified
by the allied parliaments.

Washington, Aug. 25. Further

packing industry, l.. d. H. Weld,
manager of the commercial research
department of Swift and company,
testified today before the senate ag-
riculture committee, where the bill

I'VE have to meet these attacks
as we cam he continued, The
other day two members of this COM
mittee, Senators Capper and Ken
drick, induced the department of ag-
riculture to change a statement
which it had prepared on livestock
conditions so that as it appeared, it
reflected on the profits and opera
tions of the packers"
Senators Capper and Kendrlok
challenged the assertion sharply. Mr.,
Weld said it was based on a speech
made in the house by Representative
Tincher of Kansas. Both senator's
entered formal denial, which Mr..
Weld said he accepted as a presenta-
ton of the correct facts.
Profit Statement Questioned.
Mr.. Yields statement as to Swift
and cempanys profits on meat drew
general fire from the comnaittee.

company would glady open its books
to the inspection of any accountants
the committee might have.

Senator Capper read from a letter
from a cattle broker on the Chicago

had forwarded a shipment of calves

Swift and Armour knew just how
many calves there were in each
load" the letter said, "and each man
had instructions not to bid on any
calves until the head man had seen
them. We got thirty-four of yours
sorted In a special pen, and Swifts
calf buyer bought them, but when
the head man found out about 1t he
threatened to fire him. There doesn't
seem to be any way for you to make
money shipping here
doesn't that show blacklist
against these cattle which were for
warded?" he asked.

it," Weld responded.
wouldn't it have been fairer to
tell this shipper that he couldn't
make any money by refusing to ac-

City?"
at would have been cullusion then,
but there's nothing wrong in tele-

MEMBERS Of BIG FOUR" IGNORE ORDER Of CHIEFS TO RETURN TO WORK
AMERICANS IN MEXICO WAIT
ANXIOUSL Y FOR NEXT NOTE
FROM SECRETARY OF STATE

as deems fit to impart.
Hone for Arbitration

Hope for Arbitration.
Should American-MeXican relations
become sufficiently grave it may be
confidently expected that the arbitra-
ton provision contained in article
XXI. of the treaty of Guadalupe will
be invoked by at least one, possibly
by both governments, as final resort
to avert hostilities.
1t seems certain that armed inter-
vention by the United States in Mex
leo will not come suddenly unless un-
toward and, specially irritating circum-
stances precipitate it in advance of the
diplomatic exchanges customary in
the premises, and until after the ex-
haustion 0f all the resources at the
command of the two governments, as
we'll as those of friendly, disinterested
outside nations
This expression of the trend of the
Mexican situation may be taken as
authoritative In the judgment of
competent observers, there is nothing
in the present complexion of affairs
which cannot be adjusted under the
treaty, which offers opportunity for
the submission of the Mexican case
to arbitration through commissioners
mutually appointed or through the
offices of neutral government,
Treaty Obligations.
One portion of the treaty obligates
each government to accede to arbitra-
ton proposals advanced by the other
unless, set forth in the treaty phrase,
"it is deemed altogether incompatible
with national interest, or the circum-
stances of the case forbid It,"
1t may be remembered that it was
under the arbitration clause of the
treaty that General Obregon of the
Mexican army and GeneralScott of the
American army conferred in Ciudad
Juarez in 1916 concerning the with
drawal of the Pershing expedition;
and that, later in the same year, the
points at issue between the two ma

Republicans Put
Through Suffrage

With but seven negative votes, the
Ramsey resolution on woman's suf-
frage. was passed by the Senate last
evening. Under the provisions of
the resolution which was passed by
the House some time ago. the ques-
ton OF suffrage will be submitted to
the voters of the Commonwealth.
To become effective, however. the
measure must pass another Legis-
lature.
The passage of the resolution was
practically cinched after Senator
William 1c. Crow. Fayette, chairman
Of the Republican State Committee
made plea for the measure, saying
that the resolution presented a plan
for the submission of the woman SUI
frage question to the voters of Penn
sylvania. and that this American
principle was ono to which the Re-
publican party Is committed. Il
bespeak Republican aid for this
measure" concluded Senator Crow.
The vote was Al to Z.
The effect of this speech was to
dlspell much oratory prepared for
the occasion, and the measure was
then called to vote by Lieutenant
Governor f. E. Beidleman, presid-
ing.

Salary Raiser Is
Given Sproul AK

Governor Sproul again called a
halt on the salary raising campaign
when he vetoed a bill to increa sc
salaries of registration employees in
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scran-
ton. He said there must be a check
on the tendency to raise salaries" i"
The veto said: "This bill increases
the salaries of certain employees of
the registration commissioners in
cities of the first and second classes,
making the salaries in these cases
II ON one-fourth to one-half higher
thar at present. The salary of the
clerk is increased from $500 to
$4,000, the stenographer from ST.
zoo to $500, and others in like or
appropriate proportion.
II am of the opinion that these
increases are not warranted, and
that the salaries as provided under
existing law are adequate and suf-
ficient to secure competent persons
to serve in these places. The salaries
now paid compare favorably with
the pay of servants of the Common
wealth generally in like proportions.
For example, many stenographers
of long experience and tried abil-
ity in various departments of the
State government receive only ST.
200 per annum. There must be some
halt called on the tendency to raise
salaries.
Furthermore. this bill contains
a provision permitting the employ
nent of as many other clerks rs
may be necessary at a compensation
not exceeding 81 per diem for the
time actually employed This pro
vision might lead to grave abuses"
