PARIS. July 23.-Premier BRAND.
following a meeting Of the council Of
ministers at Rambouillet yesterday.
has dispatched a telegram to Berlin
reaue sting that the German govern
ment take all necessary steps to in
sure safe conduct through Germany
of a new division of French troops.
which, it is said in official circles. will
be ordered to Silesia within a few
hours.
This mornings newspapers give
considerable prominence to the coun-
Gil meeting, which was the second to
be held at Rambouillet since the elec-
ton Of President Millerand. 1t is
understood that the Silesian question
was the chief subject under discus
sion, and although the official COM
muniQue fails to say SO, the news
papers declare unqualified approval
was given the ppemier's position after
he had explained 1t in great detail.
that France should not retreat an
inch from the determination to send
reinforcements to Upper Silesia, de-
spite opposition to such a move by
DaVlu LlOyu Ncol6C, lAC 4SAaSASAi ~ AiAS
minister.
Word Sent to British.
Instructions were sent late last
night to the French ambassador in
London requesting him to tell the
British Eovernment that France con-
siders 1t. useless for the allies to es-
tablish Silesian boundary without
providing sufficient troops to enforce
the provisions. and adding that
France intends to dispatch another
division without waiting for action
by the other allies.
Several newspapers are inclined to
take a more hopeful view of the dead
lock Of this morning, and to believe
that England will recede from her po-
sition.
The Petit Parisien says. however.
that the French decision to send re-
Inducements is .irrevocable" and that
the troops will go forward, no matter
what happens. 49,.
Premier BRAND is said in some
quarters to hold the view that Eng
land will consent to a postponement
Of the supreme council meeting until
the middle of August, when the
French reinforcements will have ar
rived and the experts have completed
a detailed report Of conditions In the
Silesian industrial area, thus allow
ing the council to reach a satisfactory
compromise, probably based on sug-
gestions by Count -Sforza, former
Italian minister q 1e.oiSn affairs.
