caused the Foreign Office to issue for

According to the published story, King
George of England, in private conver-

referred to President Wilson as q,

further quoted as expressing regret that

Germans DenOunce
Silesian Policy of
Allied Officials
Strained Relations Result
From Alleged Arbitrary
Steps i'm Interfering With
the Local Government
By William c. Dreher
Special Gable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1920. New York Tribune Inc
BERLIN, April 18.-Relations be-
tween the Inter Allied commission on
Upper Silesia and German population
there have been strained. The Ger
mans insist the commission has taken
arbitrary steps in handling the ad-
ministration. going to extremes not
warranted by the Treaty Of Versailles,
such as the expulsion Of judges for
administering German law when the
treaty provided that pending cases
should be so administered; for for
bidding members Of the Slesian Ma
tional Assembly to exercise their func-
tions, and for prohibiting the enforce
ment Of the new shop councils law
which had gone into effect.
The situation has been aggravated
by the shooting of a citizen by a
French soldier. The incident was ex-
OF revenge because the soldier had lost
some relatives in the war The shoot
ing brought out great protest from
the populace, who gathered at an open
air meeting which degenerated into g
skirmish between German guard troops
and the French forces.
The expulsion of one of the judges
resulted in strike of all other Judges
and court officials in the district.
Some of the postoffce employees
Joined the walkout.
The prohibition of the enforcement
Of the councils law caused great ex-
citement among the laboring classes,
who regard this step as an abridge-
ment of their rights. They have
started a strong movement for a gen
eral strike in protest. Several excit-
ing meetings have been held, but the
decision was postponed until Monday.
General Lerond, commander of the
French Army of Occupation, has
threatened to call in Polish troops if
the general strike occurs, and to fill
all official positions with Poles if the
officials join the strike.
Great protest meetings were held
to-day. The call for the general strike
speaks of violent, unjust encroach-
ments on the peoples rights Ger
man reports say Polish workingmen
are siding with the Germans in their
protest against the course Of che COM
mission.

Politics Blamed by
Mrs. Shepard ON
Quitting Y. w. A.
Former Helen Gould Also
Gives Change in Wording
of Voting Members Pledge
as Reason for Resignation

The real reason for the resignation
from the national board Of the Y. w.
c. A. in Cleveland on Saturday of Mrs.
Finley j. Shepard, formerly Miss Helen
Gould, was that the organization, in
her judgment, was allowing it's policies
and its activities to be swayed by po-
litical sympathies.
Mrs. Shepard's secretary said yester-
day Of Mrs. Shepard's designations: w.
was because of her disapproval of al
lowing the organizations policies to
drift into political matters, and also
because of the changes in the pro-
visions Of the pledge Of voting n4em-
bers of the Y. W. C. A., which formerly
included the phrase we accept Jesus
Christ as our Saviour 1t has been
altered in such manner that 'as our
Saviour was eliminated, and this al
lowed the declaration to become so
general and 50 broad that there was no
way of determining to what faith or
creed, if any, the voting members be-
longed
Believed Safeguard Needed
"Most every one nowadays accepts
Jesus Christ in one way or another,
and Mrs Shepard's judgment was that
it should be made more definite, and
that as our Saviour should have re-
manned as a safeguard.'
She was asked if in speaking of poll
tics in the Y. w. C. A. she referred
merely to politics Of the organization
itself, such as is found in many organ
izations, or whether she meant national
politics.
National politics." she replied.
Mrs. Shepard, tired after a weeks
strenuous work in the national conven-
tion of the Y. w. c. A., arrived home
yesterday from Cleveland. She made it
known that her position in regard to
her resignation had not been altered
She said no further designations are
contemplated.
CAS- an humble member of the Y. w.
c. A." she said in a statement given
out in Cleveland and repeated at her
home yesterday, 81 must own to a real
grief over some, at least, of the SEN
timents expressed and the measures
adopted by this convention.
II have always believed in the depth
rather than in the breadth of the
tenets Of its construction and I con-
tend that the associations greatest
gifts and accomplishments lie in the
intensification of the religious and in
ner life of the nations young women.
An Entering Wedge
~ dare say, if given an opportunity
to mature their thoughts on this mat
ter, that almost every delegate would
agree with this declaration that as an
association we are allowing a wedge to
separate it from the highest purpose of
it's constitution, and that wedge may
reasonably be expected to bring about
its undoing"
1t was after these remarks in the
convention in Cleveland that Mrs.
Shepard declared that 81 must in low
atty to my Lord and Saviour and in
justice to myself and friends request
the immediate acceptance of my reg
gnation, which ] now tender as "A
member Of the national board of the
Y. w. c. A."

position to the associations plans BY
