GEORGE INSISTS
 POLES RESPECT TREATY OR GIVE BERLIN RELEASE
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel


 LONDON, May 13.-Great Britain will not accept as a fact accomplish ed the seizure and holding by insur gent Poles under the leadership of Adalbert Korfanty of portions of Up per Silesia.
 This was made plain in the house of commons today by Premier Lloyd George, who emphatically declared the invasion was in defiance of the treaty of Versailles. Either the all lies should insist on the treaty being respected, the premier said, or they ought to allow Germany to do so.
 Not merely to disarm Germany, but to say that such troops as she has are not. to be permitted to take part in restoring order-that is not fair" he added
 It would be discreditable and not worthy of the honor of any land, and he asserted, T am perfectly certain that it will not be the attitude the allies will take.'
 Mir. Lloyd George said it was of supreme interest that the allies should see that the treaty was re- spected. For the moment overwhelm ing force was on the side of the al lies and Germany must submit to them, but the future was dark and uncertain. He predicted that force would count less and less with the treaty of Versailles and the honor of Germany to her bond would count more.
 Poland. he said. was the last coun- try in Europe which should complain about the treaty. She did not wir her liberty. It was given her by Italy, Great Britain and France. He charged that the Poles during the war had been diVided-half of then fighting with the Germans.
 They fell in German uniforms. the premier dramatically exclaimed and shot down Frenchmen, British and Italians, who were fighting fot , their freedom"

Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON. May 13.-Deficits in present railroad operations and the increase in claims against the treasury arising from war time gov ernment control, threaten the per manency of private ownership" in transportation, Chairman Cummins of the senate interstate commerce committee. said today during cross examination of Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of the South ern Pacific, in the lnVeStig auon of the railroad situation.
 From railroad accounts Senator Cummins said. he concluded that the government placed the total liabil- itieS to the railroad corporations at Sl. 200. 900 0OO. while the roads them selves claimed a total of S2.500, 000. 900. The final sum to be taken from the government in settlement. he ad- ded. very probably would be around slSOO. GOO 0O0.
 Continuation Of deficits from op- eratioas, Chairman Cummins said. would also have to be met from the treasury" unless the railroads in creased revenues or reduced eXpen- ditures
 Nr. Kruttschnitt said the growing claims under the guarantee arose out of under maintenance of railroad equipment and road beds during the period of government control.
 One reason for delay in getting the expenses down. Kruttschnitt said was tardiness of the railroad board in deciding the roads application for lower wage scales.
 Railroads are losing between $500, ,OO0 and S600O0O day while waiting for the boards decision on wages for common labor he de clared.
 The hearing adjourned until Mon day with the chairman of the south cru Pacific still under examination

COURTS TOO SLOW
Attorney General Declares
Dockets of Nation Crowded.
Wants Congress to Provide for
More Judges.

washington, Oct. 5.-Deplorable
conditions in the courts of the United

dockets all over the country are loaded
with cases awaiting trial and that in
MANY of them the government cases

pearance of material witnesses or the
removal of others.

both civil and criminal, are pending
in the federal courts IN the United

Der about $4,000, a large percentage
of them being cases growing out OF

recorded as awaiting trial. Other
large groups of cases on the dockets
still pending include violations Of war
time laws. and the tax, revenue and
bankruptcy laws.

as points where the accumulated hti-
CATION is most serious. In New York
there are more than 10000 cases pend
ing and about one-fourth of them are
drv law violations.
