Berlin, June THE German rail-
road brotherhoods are determined to
block as far as possible entente as
sistance to the Polish campaign
against Russia and are particularly
opposed to the dispatch to Poland of
colored French troops just with
drawn from the occupied Rhine dis
tricts. On account of the widespread
protests against the alleged conduct
OF the black soldiery. the brother
hoods have ordered their members
to refuse their services in any at
tempt to transport these or any
other entente trops en- route to Po-
land over German railways.
Railroads Embittcrcd.
The railroaders are greatly en-
bittered by the conflicts between
French occupationer troops in the
plebiscite areas of Upper Silesia
and East and West Prussia and the
German inhabitants. Sanguinary
rows with fatal outcome are of daily
occurrence particularly in mining
centers of Gleiwitz and Bauthen
where events are steadily shaping
up toward a race war between Ger
man organized labor and French SOL
diers unless the French either are
replaced by other entente troops or
are so heavily reinforced as to over
awe the exasperated Germans. There
have been serious shooting affairs
in Gleiwitz for the last three nights.
Blame is ascribed to the French SOL
diers off duty using revolvers and
bayonets when encountered by Ger
man workmen. Several Germans
have been killed and others serious
ly wounded. A general riot was al
most precipitated when French Off
GERS dining in a Gleiwitz hotel de-
posted stock of hand grenades on
the table to indicate their readiness
to defend themselves in case of need.
The i'll feeling has been of long
standing but 1t has recently been
augmented by German boycott
measures against German girls as
sociating with French soldiers. The
hostility is directed only against the
French. Italian troops and British
officers on duty in the plebiscite
areas by comparison are almost pop
ular.
a several weeks strike of judges
and attorneys in Upper Silesia as a
protest against ruling of the in
ter-allied plebiscite commission
has ended in a compromise. All the
courts were closed and the admins
tration of justice suspended.

Paris, June THE French for
eign office has not changed Its po-
sition In the slightest degree to-
ward the pourparliers, now In
progress in London between Pre-
mfer Lloyd George and Gregory
krassin. An Interpretation OF the
inner Quai D'Orsay opinion today
sends me a written statement on
the subject which, while 1t indi-
Gates the possibility of another en-
tente crisis at Spa. expresses no
surprise at the methods followed
by Lloyd George to achieve the
present program.
But the Quai D'Orsay has not
forgotten that two months ago
Premier Lloyd Georges honor
did not permit him to entertain
even the thought" Of receiving M.
krassin in England.
Today's statement reads: France
Is resolutely opposed to any politi-
cal arrangement with the Soviet at
any price.
Fears Harm to England.
Between the various entente
points of view there Is great oI-
vergence which, in Paris, we be-
lieye likely to cause great incon-
Venience, but We are not alarmed.
First. we are certain that the Brit
ish government will soon discover
the Bolshevists cannot keep either
political or economic promises; Sec
ond, we hope British public opinion
will soon be asking itself concern
ing the recrudescepce of the Com
munist tendencies of their inde-
pendent labor party, and, finally.
that British public opinion will
again exercise the role IL played
before and after San Reno, namely,
of putting Premier Lloyd George
and his counselors once more in
the straight path.
Italy, too. would now talk politics
with NJ. krassin in London. Premier
Nitti is the apostle of recognizing
the Soviets because he hopes, by
rendering homage to the great rev.
olutionary power, either to disarm
or diminish the Socialist opposition
at home.
Second. internationally Signor
Nitti would like a new pawn in the
chess game. and the Russian pawn
combinations for the ingenious I'M
