In Comment on Lloyd Georges Denun'
ciation of Polish Revolt.

London. May l4-The denunciation
by Prime Minister Lloyd George Of
the Polish revolt in Silesia failed to
receive unanimous support from Lon
don newspapers to-day. Some of the
largest papers did not comment upon
his address, and whilesthere were some
strong expressions Of approval, there
were also some sharp attacks upon Mr..
Llovd George, who was told, among
other things, that he, himself, and his
allied colleagues were largely to blame
for the situation, and that the Polish
government was really powerless, for
material reasons, against the insur-
gents.
The Daily Chronicle, usually q
stauuch supporter of Mr.. Lloyd George,
while admitting that the position was
humilating and alarming for the al
lies. said il "would take the situation
more tragically but for the defiance of
the allies by Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
leader of the Turkish nationalists; Ca
briele D'Annunzio, who occupied Fiume
for more than a year. and General
ZelIgouski. whose Polish irregulars are
still holding Wilma" The newspaper
also held the allies partly blameworthy
owing to their failure to agree upon the
upper Silesian frontier, and urged them
to "cnergize an agreement, since the
Polish problem never will be settled
until that is done"
Mr.. LLOYD George was charged with
"bitter partisanship, intense dislike Of
Poland, pusillanimous fear of Germany
and ignorance OF European politics" by
the Morning Post The newspaper de-
scribed his speech as torrent OF
abuse. invective and hysterical excite
ment"
Berlin dispatches assert there Is go
ing forward an exchange OF views rela-
tive to cancellation OF penalties placed
on Germany after the meeting OF the
supreme allied council in March. These
included the establishment of Gus
toms zone along the Rhine and the oc-
cupation Of Ruhr ports along the Rhine.
II is declared that Great Britain faNors
relaxation OF allied pressure, now
that Germany has accepted the allied
reparation terms and is preparing 20
carry them to fulfilment. The dis
patches do not touch on the French at
titude. but it would appear probable
that any such an allied movement
would be opposed by the French cab
met which has been insistent upon the
application of penalties on Germany.

Under Guise of British Sol
diers the Would-Be Res
: cuers Gained Entrance to
Prison and Were Return
ing to Car When a SEN
try Became Suspicious
and Fired

Dublin, Nav Ia (By the Associated
Press An unsuccessful attempt was
made to-day to rescue Arthur Griffith,
founder of the Sim Fein, from Mount
Joy prison.
An armored car, which had recently
been captured, was used by the repub-
licans in the attempt to rescue him.
A man in an officers uniform alighted
at the prison gates, which opened to
admit the passage of the car, and ne
and his supposed soldier companions in
the motor drove straight to the COVER
nor's Office, where the governor and his
deputy were bound and gagged
The visitors proceeded to release
Griffith and Others of the prisoners
and were returning to their ear when
they encountered a party of auxiliaries,
This necessitated a change of course
on the raiders part Meanwhile a
sentry at an elevated point in the
prison became suspicious and fred a
shot
On hearing this the raiders decamped
without the prisoners, but took the ar
mored car, which later was found aban-
doned.
Griffith was arrested in Dublin on
Nov. 26 last and lodged in Mount JOY
prison because of the desire of the gov
ernment to learn if he was responsible
for the employment of republican
funds on ambuscsdes and other oper-
ations involving the lives OF troops.
The car used in the attempted res
cue was captured by the Sim Feiners
after a surprise attack, in which two
of the soldier occupants of the car
were wounded. The Sim Feiners then
disguised themselves as members OF
the crown forces and proceeded to
Mount Joy prison.
The military followed the car when
II. sped from the prison after the fail
ure of the coup, and fierce fight en-.
sued. The casualties had not been re.
ported up to mid afternoon.

days after the death of Edward l..

AN ATTEMPT TO RESCUE
ARTHUR GRIFFITH FROM

HEIGHT OF FOLLY
TO DIS4RM NOW
Unless Other Great Powers Disarm al
the Same Time, Declares John
Hays Hammond.

Philadelphia, May l4.-John Hays
Hammond, in a paper prepared Tor de-
livery at to-day's session OF the Amer
ican academy of political and social
science. declared that disarmament on
the part of the United States unless
other great powers disarm at the same
time would be the height of folly II
not a criminal blunder." Pointing out
that, despite the fact that many great
nations are on the verge of bankrupt
ev, there is an uninterrupted increase
of naval armaments, which he char
acterized IAN insensate waste OF the
capital so greatly needed to rehabili'
tate industry" He insisted that halt
should be called to such RECKLESS ex-
penditure of the life blood of industry
and commerce" and continued:
Disarmament can be effected by a
straight forward, unequivocal message
"a message not couched in vague DIP
lomatic language from our govern
mcnt TO England and Japan, TO the
effect 3hat the United States has no
ambition to attain the supremacy OF
the seas, but that she is nevertheless
determined not TO accept subordinate
naval position In this our policy is in
flexible.
when these nations fully realize
the futfty of competing with us to
gain naval superiority, they will gladly
and quickly agree to ths limitations Of
naval superiority, they will gladly and
quickly agree TO the limitations of
naval armaments, and not before As
the first step in the naval disarmament
there should be an immediate cessa-
ton in the building Of capital ships,
and all naval expenditures should be
strictly limited to the needs of coast
defense"
Mr.. Hammond commended the Unit
ed States government for its attitude
toward representation in the official de-
liberations Of the allies, saying that,
while affirming that abstention from
entangling alliances will be America s
policy, it nevertheless desires to lend
its moral influence towards effecting a
economic rehabilitation of Europe.

Determined

battle in the mountain of Mingo couh-

Kentucky, along the Tug river which
has ragged for several days, fierce as 1t
has been, is merely a phase of great
or struggle in which this rich coal DIS
trict is locked the industrial strng-
Gle over the question of unionizing or
keeping "open' the mines,
The operators are firm in their de-
termination TO keep the field open at
any cost. The United Mine Workers
are equally determined in their insist
ence that the struggle must 60 on until
their union is recognized The ques
tions of wages and working conditions
also enter into the disagreement, but
these admittedly are minor consldera-
tions.
David Robb, international financial
AGENT of the United Mine Workers,
who is directing union activities in TINS
district, made public to-day the hrst
statement he has issued since the in
dustrial warfare flared up again.
"The lockout strike in this field can
never be settled by thugs and gun
men" he declared, asserting that the
battle which started Thursday had
been brought about by attacks ON un-
ion miners by non union men now en-
ployed in the fields.
"A high percentage Of the men now
out are Americans, natives OF this dls
trict. and they do not propose to be
driven from their homes. Any one who
knows the mountaineer temperament
knows that they won't be iutimidated
and that they will not allow their
women and children 20 be made into
targets. have been beseiged with re-
quests from union men for money with
which to buy arms and ammunition
These requests, ! have, of course, re-
fused and have counselled the men 10
moderation, but / know that many Of
them will go right ahead firing
back when their homes or the tent col
ouies TO which they have been reduced

ators. are fired upon
According TO Mr.. Robb, there are
about 900 men still on lockout
strikeH in the district, most of whose
places have been taken by non union
workers from other parts of the coun-
try.
Officials Of the Williamson Coal OPP
orators association on the other hand
contradicted every assertion Mr.. Robb
made and declared that at the present
time the mine owners have more en-
ployes than can be used and that coal
