Washington Is Silent.

White House officials tonight re-
fused to discuss the statement of the
Paris Temps that President Wilson
in memoranda to the French and Brit
ish foreign Offices had disapproved
the latest proposal f" settlement of
the vcXing Adriatic problem. There
was neither confirmation or denial
that the position of the United States
again had been laid before the allied
governments.
Granting that such memoranda as
reported by the Temps had been dis
patched, other officials interpreted the
step as designed to bring to head
the negotiations over Fiume and Adri-
attic territory, which have been drag
ging along for some time.
Disapproval Of the most recent pro-
posal, which was advanced by Pre-.
micr Lloyd George and contemplated
the making Of Fiume, free city un-
der the league of nations, and the
awarding to Italy as a rccompense a
strip of territory toward the south
from Trieste, it was said, would be
entirely in line with the stand taken
by President Wilson ns Paris that

Slavs by the supreme council on Jan
uary 20. The President examined the
plan, but declares he cannot approve
of its tenor. He particularly opposes
the idea which consists of giving the
Jugo- -Slavs the choice between this
plan and execution pure and simple of
the London pact.
In addition, according to the Temps
the President finds the Lloyd George
plan too divergent from the memoran-
DUN drawn up at London last Decem-
Der by Premcrs Lloyd George and
Clcmcnceau, with the collaboration of
the American representative.
The memorandum was Immediately
examined by the chiefs Of the allied
governments before the French pre-
mier left London for Paris this morn

Paris, Feb. 15.-liugh c.. Wallace,
the American ambassador yesterday
delivered to the foreign Office memo
randum from President Wilson, ac-
cording to the Temps, in which the
President said he could not approve
of Premier Lloyd Georges proposed
settlement Of the Atriatic question
which has been submitted to the Juro
Slavs. The newspaper says that an
identical memorandum was delivered
to the British foreign office in Lon
don.
The Temps says President Wilson
allowed it to be understood that the
United States would find it impossible
to continue in conference if the allies
settle the Adriatic question without
consulting the United States.
The prcmicrs have drafted a reply

S. Joseph, prosperous Syrian, doing
business at 905 Gervais street notified
| Chief Richardson yesterday that two
strangers had worked the confidence

in currency. The strangers loafcd
around the store Friday morning, gain

an easy getaway. They left a tin box
that was supposed to contain $4,000
and when it was opened yesterday it
was filled with copies of The State and
four 81 bills.
Joseph told the chief of police that
the men came into the store and one
claimed he had $4,000. The two
strangers argued about the disposition
of the money and the financier insisted
that his fathers wish was for him 10
give the money to a priest The other
man argued that the cash be distrib-
uted to the poor and among hospitals.
Joseph was consulted as a good bust

PARlS, Aug. 23.-It is understood in
official circles here that Premier Mile
rand has requested Premier Lloyd
George to give urgent instructions to
Sir Reginald 7. Tower, High Commits
sioner in Danzig for the League of Ma
tions, to permit the unloading of mt
nitions from French ships now in the
harbor here, destined for Poland. ..g
The ships now here are the steamer
Accra and the cruiser Gueydon. Moor
ngs for these ships have been refused
by Tower
1t is recalled that the signatories to
Article 104 to assure to Poland the free
use of the docks of the Free City for all
imports needed by Poland.
The harbor workers in Danzig~laree-
ly German-are reported to have pro-
claimed a blockade of Poland and to
have established Soviets. They have
seized the docks, hold the RAILWAYS and
control traffic

Tower took his action because he was
afraid that an open clash would occur
# he permitted the landing of muni-
tiOns.
The French government is convinced
that the German Nationalists, repre-
senting the great industries of the ma
ton, are behind the movement of the
Danzig lockers to prevent the trans
port of supplies to Poland. 1t is felt
that when the interview between Chan
cellor Fehrenbach and Premier Lloyd
George, which, according to Lucerne
dispatches is likely takes place the
British premier will call upon the Ger
man chancellor to put an end to this
state of affairs.
United States warships en- route to
Danzig have been diverted to Reval.
The French press, notably the
Temps. urges the immediate dispatch
of more Allied troops. The Temps
says:
I've do not believe the British gov
ernment would have the slightest OBJ
lection to this"
The present military position is
such that supplies for Poland are nee
essary. The removal of any menace
to the corridor is confirmed by news
received here that the distribution of
supplies from Danzig to Warsaw,
which was interrupted by the Bolshe-
vik advance, is about to be resumed
by a short line via Mlawa and Marien-
werder.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 23.-The
red flag Of Bolshevism was un-
furled in the State of Campeche
to-day by Colonel Augustin Preve,
who declared war on the whole
world, except Russia. Reports to
the Department of War said that
Colonel Preve acted upon the ad-
vice of a Russian whose name is
unknown.
Campeche is sparsely populated
and isolated from other parts of
the republic, except by water, so
it is thought here that the move
ment is not likely to spread. The
Department of War has taken
measures looking to the capture
of Preve and his Russian adviser,
who will be expelled from the
country.
