| KATTOWlTZ. Silesia. May 21-After
two days spent here the opportunity
mas been given to observe the strength
OF the movement against the giving of
Upper Silesia &c Poland by the peace
conference. Huge mass meetings to
protest against the transfer are being
held in all of the larger towns. On Sun
day The Tribune correspondent saw
between $4,000 and 100, 900 persons
stand for hours in the cold drizzle to
listen to speeches of protest, and to
watch the procession, which required
two hours to pass a given point.
The meeting was addressed by Herr
Loeffler, secretary of the Socialist La
Dor Unions and member of the Ma
tional Assembly. The crowd shouted
time and time again that they never
would accept Polish rule.
The correspondent attended a con-
ference yesterday where he heard rep
sesentatives of all the existing classes
of the population, even including Polish
workmen, oppose the proposed change
in nationality. Several Polish miners
expressed deep feeling. One man wept
copiously while telling of the disap-
pointment of the Polish population
when they read the peace terms.
One Polish miner said:
Tell Wilson we have been BETRAYED
We workmen demand the Justice he
promised us. We don't want war, but
Silesian workmen will stand together,
come what may. We would rather die
than become POLISH
Director Stenbisss of the Upper ST.
lesian Railways said $4,000 laborers
under him, mostly Polish, opposed at
tachment to Poland. Many railway
workmen did construction work in Pol
and during the war, he said, which gave
them very unfavorable opinion Con-
dltions there checked any wish to
change their nationality, he said.
Other speakers told of the great
transformation in feeling among the
Polish population since publication of
the peace terms. 1t was insisted that
the Polish movement in Silesia was
only an expression Of discomfort with
conditions which now do not exist.
Mayor Pohlmann, of Kattowitz, said
We agreed to peace on Wilson's prin-
clples and the curse of the German
people will follow him if he lets this
injustice go through"
State Commissioner Hoessing, chief
government functionary here, said he
sent wireless message to Wilson
protesting on behalf of the majority
Of the people against becoming Pol
anized. He said the government will
make no attack upon the Poles, but
would resist any attempt by the Poles
TO seize Silesia before the matter had
been actually decided. He said the
government had ample military forces
here, but that they had been kept in
reserve. back from the frontier.

House Committee to
Curb Vast Navy Plan


WASHINGTON, May 21-The House
Naval Affairs Committee will complete
ly rewrite the naval appropriation bill
which failed at the last session. and in
doing so will give no consideration to
the recommendation by President
Wilson and Secretary Daniels for an
immense expansion of the building pro-
gramme, Chairman Thomas S. Butler
announced to-day.
The new bill, Mr.. Butler said, will
carry authorizations and appropriations
for continuing the 1915 naval building
programme, which provided for the au-
thorization annually of three battle
ships of the major class, with the
smaller warships necessary to keep the
navy we'll balanced.

Hundreds of thousands of Jews in
the United States left their work at
noon yesterday to devote the rest Of
the day to meetings and services for
their mntilated dead, their burned
synagogues and sacred scrolls and the
starving survivors in Eastern Europe.
The protest of New York's Jewry
reached climax in a great mass meet
ing at Madison Square Garden in the
evening, where more than $4,000 men
and women from every section of the
metropolitan district struggled to gain
foothod in the structure within
sound of the voices of the speakers.
Before the police finally closed the
doors it was estimated that the seats.
aisles and lobby held at least $4,000
persons. Many of the fortunate ones
who found themselves within the
Garden had huddIed in the rain about
the entrance to the building since
o'clock, yesterday morning. Through
an almost steady downpour of rain and
penetrating wind they stood to gain
an opportunity to show their respect
for their dead and voice protest
against those they held responsible for
the atrocities in Poland.
A Volley of Cheers
Speakers at the meeting were forced
to wait for many minutes when, in re-
sponse to their demands for world
justice and equality for Jews, the
crowds arose and cheered until their
enthusiasm wore itself out.
Charles Z. Hughes demanded that
America make her voice heard in q
demand for instant action in Poland
against those guilty of responsibility
for the present atrocities. Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise outlined plan by
which the new power should be ex-
cluded from association with civilized
nations until it had purged itself of
guilt and responsibility for the she'd
ding of innocent Jewish blood. Jacob
Schiff and Nathan Straus predicted an

WASHINGTON, May 21.-A resolu-

Of Congress, would be defeated bv
slightly more than a two thirds ma
jority in the Senate, and by nearly a
three-fourths majority in the House.
This was revealed to-day in a cam

sured that neither the "wet" element
nor the Anti-Saloon League would be

Both New York Senator'S and a fair
proportion of the New York deleqa-

Mal,olnetans Insist Sultan
Be Left il" Constantinople
and Doubt Exists u. S.
Can Accept Mandate

PARIS, May 81 (By The Associated
Press ).-The Turkish problem has be-
come most acute in the peace confer
ence. Various delegations are striving
to find some solution for the dismem-
berment of the empire which will not
provoke religious war.
The United States is being looked to
by the other powers as the only nation
which can become the mandatory for
Constantinople without the danger of
recipitating another European war,
but the American delegates express
doubt of the willingness of the United
States to accept the mandate, especial
ly under the conditions which the pow
ers have outlined.
With the Sultan removed from Con-
stantinople, the American delegates ex-
pressed the belief that it might be
possible for the American public to
become reconcled to the mandate.
However, the Indian delegation which
has appeared before the council Of four
to plead for special consideration for
the feelings of the Mahometan world,
as we'll as other Mahometans who
have made statements, assert that the
Sultan must not be forced out of Con-
stantinople, declaring that such action
would greatly affect his standing in
the church. Consequently Great Brit
tain is seeking to have the Sultan re-
main in Constantinople as head of the
Moslem faith, but with purely spirit
ual powers.
1t is now suggested that instead of
transferring the Sultan to a strip Of
territory somewhere in Asia Minor
that he remain in Constantinople and
be allowed to exercise a degree of
temporal power over some territory in
Asia Minor to be selected, thus pre-
serving the form of the Ottoman En,-
pire. Such plan, it is asserted, would
prevent the obliteration of Turkish
pre-war debts and necessitate the
framing of a peace treaty with the
empire.
The American commission discussed
this plan yesterday, but apparently
there was considerable difference of
opinion among the delegates. Some
feel that the United States probably
would be unwilling to accept the Con-
stantinople mandate under any con-
ditons in the event it accepts the
mandate for Armenia, which would re-
q,Nre a large number of American
troops until such time as native forces
could be organized and the unsettlee
conditions controlled.
Military experts declare that Con-
stantinople could be controlled entirely
by the navy and poiced under direc-
ton of the Marines. The probable mill
tary force necessary to restore order in
Armenia and protect the Armenians
from their aggressive neighbors has
been variously estimated at from $4,000
to 100000
