GERMANS READY TO
CROSS POLE BORDER
Army of 100000 Said to Be
Concentrated on Frontier
for an Attack.

PARIS, Sept. IA despatch received
here from Sosnowice, in the Government
of Plotrlzow, Poland, asserts that a
Germany army, comprising a minimum
OF 100000 men, is concentrated on the
frontier Of Silesia ready to be thrown
against Poland.
All except six Of the sixty-five coal
mines In Upper Silesia are now working
on two shifts of seven and a half hours
each daily, according to Col. c. Good
year of Buffalo, a member of the in
terallied commission which interviewed
between the Poles and the Germans to
quiet the warfare occasioned by alleged
oppression of the miners by the Germans.
Even If all the Central European min
ers were to work on two shifts of nine
hours daily. Col. Goodyear says, a coal
famine in Europe this winter could not
be prevented. as ~ per cent. Of the rail-
road cars are in bad order and the dis
organized transportation makes the
average time between loads eleven days
as against four and a half days for
cars in the United States.
Col. Goodyear says there still are 400
Poles in German prisons. The men Gre
being tried at the rate OF 80 daily. The
political situation in Upper Silesla is
temporarily quiet, according to Col.
Goodyear, but the hatred between the
Poles and the Germans is so intense that
disorders are possible at any time.
With the exception of the German Of
ficials, Mr.. Goodyear says that virtually
all the residents of Silesia are anxious
to have plebiscite and are eager for
the steadying effect the allied troops un-
doubtedly will have. There are 10000
miners, chiefly Poles. in the Silesian
fields Miners in the adjoining fields are
working seven hours daily, and there is
danger that the Silesian miners will
strike for a shorter day.

FRANCE PREPARES
FOR A GREAT ARMY
Apparently Has Little Faith
in League or the Two
Alliances.
Bv a Sfo1 Correspondent OF The suS.
OoDvriohf. 1919. oil ri0hfs reserved


PARIS, Sept. 14.-Far reaching changes
in the French military system are to be
made soon. The French army Of to-
morrow, II is the aim of those charged
with its reorganization and its adapta-
ton to after war conditions, Is to be
mutilated so tragically before the victory
OF the Marine. 1t will be an army con-
forming in sense to the obligations
imposed upon it by the League Of Ma
tons and the new status, but It will be
essentially an army on the alert, always
ready to repulse an onslaught from the
east and prevent the recurrence Of the
tragedy of 1914.
It Is the belief of Marshal Foch, whose
functions as commander in chief of the
troops Of the Allies have reduced them
selves merely to that Of counsellor to
the Supreme Council in military mat
ters, but who still presides over the
destines Of the poilu. that France must
have an army commensurate with her
precarious position on the Continent
The Marshaps view, often expressed
publicly that the position of France now
is less secure than It was in 1914, de-
spite the British and American alliances,
is adding considerable weight to the ar
gument for a large permanent force.
Supporters of Marshal Foch reject the
League of Nations as an excuse for linn
iting the army. His thesis favors q
kind of universal one year service-a
project which even envisages the aboli-
ton Of conscription-and calls for the
creation of a new army cadre composed
of all branches of the service employed
in the present war up to the day OF the
armistice.
The idea of Marshal Foeh is that once
powerful. we'll organized cadre is in
operation the man power of the entire
nation can be Incorporated into 1t with
in month in case Of war. That Is one
reason why he is opposed to the plan
proposed early in the Peace Conference
for the abolition Of CONSUMPTION in Ger
many and the substitution for 1t of a
German standing army OF 100000 men.
In the Marshal's opinion. Germany
should not be allowed the advantage of
having a Nucleus for the creation of
an army such as is provided by the
possession of a cadre of 100000 men,
in which can be incorporated with
lightninglike rapidity almost every able
bodied man in the nation.
The project for a law changing the
present army and conforming it TO the
future world situation. which was pro-
posed last week by a Socialist commit
tee in the Chamber of Deputies, is gen.
orally approved, but the military author
tiles go further in their demand for
reorganization and advocate a large
standing army of short term service men
and the maintenance of an up to date
framework

PEACE CONFERENCE
TO CONTINUE WORK
Plan to End Sessions With
4 in Two Weeks Has Been
Abandoned.
BALKAN MESS THE CAUSE
Polk Probably Will Return to
+ Washington About Middle
Of October.
BY LAURENCE HILLS.

4 PANS, Sept. 1.-THE plan to wind up
the Peace Conference within the next
two weeks has been abandoned Fur
Their consideration at a conference with
Premier Lloyd George Friday evening,
showed even the British Prime Minis
ter. who had favored the idea, that It
was not practicable, with Hungary and
the Balkans in the present state.
It seems that Premier Lloyd George
was not acquainted with all the facts
and had come to Paris believing that
the Peace Conference had outlived its
usefulness, but he changed his views
after discussing the situation with Pre-
mier Clemenceau and Under Secretary
Polk, the latter strongly disappearing
any dissolution until peace has been
made with Hugnary, even though the
Council may have to wait some weeks
watching developments there. In that
case probably the Council will take a
weeks vacation after the Bulgarians
get their treaty, which they viii have
twenty-five days to consider.
II was decided also at the Friday
night conference, which resembled in
some ways the old meetings of the
Council OF Four, that with tho Turks
NoPhuly d6SahlhB GIL altiluuo VI OpCn
defiance the Turkish question must be
settled as quickly as possible. Pre-
mier Lloyd George was anxious, Il
seems, to get the opinion of Secretary
Folk as to the earliest date when the
American Congress was likely to de-
eide upon its Armenian and mandate
policy, but Mr.. Polk was constrained
to tell him that he Is in no better po-
sition to judge than the Premier HIM
self.
There is reason to believe that Presi-
dent Wilson already has approved a
plan by which Mr.. Polk win return to
America about the middle Of October
and a new two headed commission will
be named to participate in the Turkish
settlement, with new staff expert Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Premier Clemen-
eeau expressed the hope that the future
Of Turkey would be settled before Christ
mas, the French Premier taking the
view, it is understood, that Syria can
not be discussed independently of the
whole Turkish problem.
The conferences with Premier Lloyd
George will be continued here until Tues
day, covering many points. THE SUN
learns that already there has been in
formal discussion by Premier Clemen-
ceau and other foreign statesmen of the
situation which will be presented II the
Senate committees reservations are
adopted, which neutral observers in the
United States, like the correspondent Of
the London Times, now predict
Apparently no agreement has been
reached yet as to the procedure to be
followed in this event, as the best ex-
perts still disagree as to whether II
would be a matter for action by the
peace conference or for the governments

SAYS WILSON DOESN'T

PARIS. Sept. 1l.-Despatche from i'm
partial foreign correspondents in the
United States to the effect that the trip
Of President Wilson Is not meeting with
the results expected and that the peace
treaty is almost certain to be adopted
with reservations have creaed pro-
found sensation here.
One effect is growing criticism Of the
President for mislnterpreting while In
Paris the views of the American public.
Up to the time he left here he insisted
to Premiers Lloyd George ana Clemen-
ceau that the American public would be
overwhelmingly for the covenant as
adopted.
The reformer Of Europe and Of the
world did not know even his own coun-
try" says FACTION Frdncdtse, which rep
resents the viewpoint Of the Foch party
and sees in the committees reservations
a considerable degree of reasonableness.
Article x. obliges the members OF the
League of Nations to take part In all
the league not having any military force,
its decisions would be as futile as the
Councils present orders regarding
Oriental Europe. unless a Power having
q permanent army shall be charged to
intervene in advance of the others This
would be Frances deplorable privilege.
THE American Senate declines this
burden for the United States. We should
not desire 1t for France. In suppreos'ns
or emasculating Article x. the Senate
perhaps will have rendered a service to
the world in Kidding it of one illusion.
at il evident that President Wilson
committed a tremendous fault in COM
ing to Paris to impose in the name Of
America a treaty which failed to serve
the interests of Europe and which the
American Senate is going to strip Of
| ell its errors"
The contention of the opposition in
the Chamber of Deputies Is based on the
fact, as this newspaper points out that
the fifty articles of the treaty with which
President Wilson insisted the League Of
Nations should be inextricably inter-
woven, "rest upon hypothesis which
undoubtedly the American Senate will
not admit. Hence. II contends, the
| Chamber Of Deputies should not take
hasty action In advance OF the Ameri-
can Senate.

Government, admits that President Will

concern. getting business going, Develop
Ing trade and reduction OF living costs.
Underneath this domestic concern is the
feeling that It would be wiser to loosen
the ties that bind us to Europe rather
than tighten them.
Mr.. Wilson's visit to Seattle has been
waste Of time so far as the league
cause Is concerned. Few ruphed to hear
him talk about the league. but thousands
sursed to hear what he might say about
labor and capital. trus
At the New Washington Hotel the
President received this afternoon del
egation OF radical labor men
and heard some pretty tall talk
from them, especially from one
named Duncan, who has been well adj
vertised. These persons told the Presi-
dent Of the United States that they
would not stand for" Samuel Gompers
representing labor in the big conference
soon to meet in Washington; that Com
pers no longer represents labor.
Radical Representation Demanded
They demanded that radical labor re-
ceive full representation. and this de-
mand meant of course, that every I. w.
w. and Bolshevik element be officially
United States. They coupled this de-
mand with another. that all political
prisoners be released from the prisons
where the United States Government
had put them. They made a special de-
mand for the release of four men con-
victed here and imprisoned for seditious
conspiracy. Sam Sadler. Hulet NJ Wells
and Morris and Joe Pass. They listed
| a number of grievances. The President,
one is told, made no promises. He said
| that 1t was all right to speak OF griev-
! ances, but where did the remedy lie?
He did not. It is understood. make any
definite reply to their demand for the
! downfall of Gompers.
When these radicals, L. w. Buck, act

Labor; c. r. Cottrell, secretary of the
triple alliance" a confederation Of rail-
way, labor and farmers unions, and

detained officers was the commander OF
