OH Silcsian and Frontier
Questions.
BELA KUN QUITS FIGHTING
All American Troops on the Arch

Withdrawn to Coast and Will
Start Home Sunday.

Again come reports from Paris that
all is not going smoothly in the council
OF four as regards the definite settle
ment of points under argument relat-
ing to the German peace treaty.
While it has been asserted that the
final answer of the allied and asso-
ciated powers to the counter proposals
of the Germans probably would be
ready for delivery TO the Germans al
Versailles not later than Friday of
this week. late dispatches declare that
some of the larger questions at issue
have not been solved. and that con-
siderable pessimism prevails as a re-
suit of this situation.
Notable among the points upon
which no agreement has been reached.
according to reports is the Silesian
question and the matter OF the Polish
western frontier. Added TO this is the
mier. NJ. Clemenceau. against any
notifications in the peace terms. con-
trary to the attitude of President Will
son and Premier Lloyd George, of
Great Britain, who are declared to
have recognized the necessity of less.n-
ing somewhat the demands in certain
clauses Of the treaty. which would not
fundamentally affect the severity Of
the document as "a whole.
Although cable dispatches have in
timated that the French We're leaning
lO"dEu the new hnenlSn re-
public. and that they even had issued
instructions to their officers TO notify
the people of the district that the or
ders of DR.. Dorten. the President. were
to be obeyed, a high French authority
is credited with the statement that
the attitude of France is Il passive
one; that the French forces have been
instructed simply to maintain order
and prevent violence by either side
along the Rhine.
The ultimatum OF Premier Clehien-
ceau TO the Hungarians that allied
troops would be used against them un-
less they ceased their operations
against the Czecho- Slovaks, has borne
fruit. Bella Kun, the Hungarian For
eign Minister. has agreed Ia cessa-
tion OF hostilties. although ne claims
that the Czecho -Slovaks have been to
blame for the fighting.
All American troops on the Arch
angel lighting front have been with
drawn to the coast. and will start next
Sunday on their voyage homeward.
The Constitutional Democratic party.
