Paris. July 28.-The peace con-
ference has decided to send an army
into Silesia to stop the constant light
Ing between Polish and German troops
and to preserve order.
The allied powers are extremely de-
sirous OF having the United States
participation in this action. The sug-
gestion is put out to have part Of the
American army Of occupation on the
Rhine Join the allied expeditionary
force on the Silesia mission.
A high American peace Official as
sured Universal Service tonight, how
ever, that no such action affecting
American troops can be taken until
the United States senate has ratified
h peace treaty.
The entente powers are anxious to
e a typical allied force In Silesia,
and they consider it important to have
America represented. owing to the
high standing that America enjoys
with the Polish government and the
Polish people.
In view Of the continuous German
Polish clashes and the approaching
piebiscite, IL Is regarded as impera-
! Y to send the expeditionary force
into the province at the earliest posi-
BILE date.
1t has been demonstrated to be
impossible for the Poles and
Germans in the area affected by the
peace treaty to get along together
peacefully. Furthermore, the situ-
tion has an important economic as

ton Of England's coai industry, all
Europe is threatened with a great coal
in the coming winter. The
peace conference has found It,
