Extra CONGRESSMAN Probable.

The eleventh congressional district
OF North Carolina, to furnish the extra
congressman from the state authoriz

Some OF the democrats and all OF
the republicans want the additional
district and the emergency which calls
the lawmakers here to straighten out
the municipal and school finances will
provide also the opportunity for redis-
tricting the state into eleven congress

Illinois provides sensation Of con-

Verne Curtis, banker, are accused of
fraud, conspiracy and embezzlement of
state funds, the alleged crimes being
committed. according TO the charges,
when Small and Sterling held the po-
sltlon Of state treasurer. Briefly, II Is
charged that Small and Sterling made
loans of millions of dollars Of state
funds to Curtis so-called bank, which
had not functoned as bank since
1908; that Curtis purchased with the
money short-tlme notes of the Chicago
packers which netted him about 8 per
cent interest; that the state received
only per cent on the loans made to
Curtis, and that the accused men
shared the rest of the profits. or

serted, he will abide by. The plan was
first given In detail to the British
cabinet and received Its almost unani-

Thus the prospects for Irish peace

Upper Siesla comes to the front
again, with prospects OF, renewed trou-
BILE which may result In another out
break of hostillties and even IN a
break among the entente allies. Con-
vinced that the situation there was ex-
tremely critical, France asked Great
Britain and Italy to join her in sending
relnfOrcements to the region. The
British foreign office replied belittling
the danger and proposing that meet
ing of the supreme council be held on
July 81. To this Premier BRAND re-
spondcd with n note announcing that
France intended to reinforce the Upper
Silesian contingent and again asking
Great Britain and italy to follow
suit, insisting on the necessity Of a
committee Of experts to hold meet
ing Immediately to investigate Upper
Slesla and TO draft a frontier, and
announcing that France was not pre-
pared for a supreme council meeting
until the experts have reached a de-
cision, and the allies are In position
to enforce the decision as to the Up
per Silesian boundary by adequate
forces in the disputed territory. Dis
patches from Paris said 10000 troops
were to be sent at once to Upper 81
lesla, with artillery, tanks and planes.
There was chance that America
would be called on to mediate. Our
position In rejolnlng the supreme
council was that we would take no
part in questions affecting territorial
and frontier adjustments unless gen.
eral peace were threatened. Some
diplomats believe that point has been
reached. Naturally there Is intense
satisfaction In German official circles
over the prospects Of split among
members of the entente.
The advance Of the Greeks in Asia
Minor has been continuous, the Turk
Nationalist retiring before 1t without
putting up many serious fights. Last

capital of the Kemalists, but the rail-
ways already have been destroyed.

lieve the Turks plan to draw on the

extended and then try to exhaust them

In Albania the MIrdites, Christian

will see the wisdom Of signing such a
treaty without great delay.
Meanwhile movement for the re-
call Of the American troops In Ger
many has started In the senate. Mr..
Borah introduced a resolution calling
on the secretary Of war for all. data
as to the size Of the army Of occupa-
ton, the cost Of maintaining 1t and the
payments Of the German government
for Its expenses. The senate promptly
adopted the resolution without roll
call or dissenting voice.
The tariff bill, having been passed
by the house, Is now before the senate
but II present plans are followed that
body will not act on 1t finally until
legislation to revive taxes has been
enacted. This Is in accord with the
understood wish Of the administration.
The prospect for considerably lower
taxes, however, was dimmed some
what by the rather startling state
ments made by A. D. Lasker, new
chairman Of the shipping board. He
asserted that his Investigations have
revealed the fact that the board
operated last fiscal year at net loss
of 1886, 000, 900, and predicted that dur
Ing the present fiscal year the loss
from operations alone will be $780,
100000. Mr.. Lasker said the records
Of the board were In deplorable con-
dtion and that If 1t had been private
business concern the corporation
would have been In receivers hands
long ago. He indicated that appro'
prlations Of S300,000000 would be
needed for this year, but later he
asked congress for only S125,OOO,OOO
for the next six months. The formal
request for this sum was made through
Director Of Budget Dawes and with
the approval Of President Harding.
Prodded to quick action by pre-
limlnary report Of the special commits
sion on soldiers relief, which scored
the government for neglect Of disabled
veterans, the senate on wednesday
passed the Sweet bill without a dis
senting vote. An amendment was
adopted designed to transfer from the
ex-servce men to the government the
burden of proof in establishing the
origin of disabilities. In some other
respects the bill as passed by the
house, was altered. As passed by the
senate the measure provides: For the
creation of a veterans bureau, respon'
sible directly to the President, consol'
idatlng all soldier relief agencies; for
the decentralization of the compensa'
tlon and insurance machinery now OPP
Grated by the war risk bureau, and
for the liberalization Of compensation
awards so as to relieve any former sol
der suffering from ailments for which
the war service was responsible.
