Russo Polish Crisis
Coercion in Rhine
Area Is Threatened
French Convinced That
Germany Plots to Null
lily Polish Boundaries

PARIS, Aug. 7.-France, acting
alone if necessary, is on the verge
of sending stern note to the Ger
man government informing it that
France will act instantly and force
fully to enforce the Treaty of Ver-
sailles in its provisions for eastern
Europe, as we'll as for the West, and
that France can properly take CO.
ercive action along the Rhine, ac-
cording to reports in the highest
French official circles.
The French government is de-
tlared to be convinced that Germany
Is plotting with the Soviets to null
lify the Polish boundaries created by
the Allies last year, and hampering
all-Allied efforts to aid the new re-
public during a critical period. The
feeling is also ascribed to the French
ir official quarters that efforts by
certain factions in Germany to pro-
woke an open quarrel between the
two countries are approaching
crisis.
Within the last several days all sup
plies en- route for French troops in the
pebiscite area of Upper Silesia have
been held up by German railway men
and other workers. All of the Saar
Basin is tied up by strike. and ship

that France must show that the Treaty

visitors.
The agents went from saloon to sa
loon, with their big van rumblng be-
hind. They found most of the pro-
prietors standing at the front of the
saloons ready to receive them In most
instances the saloonkeepers were sml-
ing blandly and were inclined to be
cordial
The agents did their work thorough
ly. They went through every saloon
from roof to cellar, but liquor was
hard to find. They rummaged behind
the bars, overturned barrels and boxes
and searched for secret. panels, with
cut avail. Behind them crept the mov-
ing van, conspcuously empty.
Before the days work was done the
Pennsylvania agents did succeed in
getting a few bottles in some out-of-
the-way places. In one saloon they
seized whisky valued at $500 Among
the places where it was said whisky
was seized were the saloons of Charles
Serventi, 38 Newark Street; Carl
Warncke, 81 Hudson Street, and Adolph

At dusk the agents quit and called
it day. They started back for Pitts

Allies Plan Warsaw Defense

PARIS. Aug. 7.-Premier Millerand

Hythe, England, where he will confer
with Premier Lloyd George regarding
the Polish situation. He was accom-
panied by Marshal Foch and Philippe

Foreign Office.
Military aid for Poland, consisting of
one or two divisions each from France,
Great Britain, Hungary, Rumania, Lat
via and possibly other nations, is one
OF the emergency measures to be dis
cussed by the two Premiers.
This plan, as we'll as other measures,
has been recommended by the French
and British missions at Warsaw. 1t
has been pointed out that Hungary
particularly can send good cavalry into
the field. All these divisions, it is
understood, would be fully equipped,
and it has been proposed that these le-
inforcements take the field before War
saw to defend the capital of Poland. =.
French official circles, according to
the Foreign Office, consider the front
line now shifted from Poland to Ber-
lin, in view of the speech of DR..

in the Reichsrat Thursday. 1t is be-
lieved in French quarters, it was said
that Germany is undertaking f'> re-
construction of Russian industries
such as the railroads under an agree

. LONDON, March 12-Earl Curzon' s speech on the Turkish problem, made in the house of lords yesterday, and other official and unofficial state ments on the subject are generally re Sarded as showing that the Near East tangle is quite serious and is causing the authorities some anxiety-an anx- iety increased by complications threat ened in connection with Syria and Mesopotamia.
