DOG CAUGHT HIS OWN FISH
Sportsman Given Authority for Re- markabIe Story That Appears in
 London Periodical.

The London "zoo" fishing cat which so steadfastly refuses to show itself except at meal times-has rival In the fishing dog, says London Answers
 A sportsman was on the west coast of Madagascar, when he observed dog come out of the thick bush In front of him and trot briskly down 10 the edge of the sea. When it had got little way into the water it stopped and remained perfectly still, as a heron might when fishing at home. Its glance was never once taken of the water.
 Suddenly, 1t thrust its head into an oncoming wave, and reappeared with a large fish in it's mouth. Quickly tnk- ing its capture ashore it squatted down and made a hearty meal. After a while the fishing operation was re- peated. and it was evident to the wit Eess of the incident that the dog made regular practice of it.

THREW FLOWERS AND GEMS
London Crowd Benefited by Woman's Enthusiasm Over the Ending
 of the Great War.

During the peace rejoicings one night in London several guests stand ing at the upper windows of West End restaurant began to throw roses down to the crowds packed in the street below. A woman in evening dress, after throwing out numbers of roses, took a bracelet from her arm and tossed it to the people, following this with a ring from her finger. Then, after throwing more roses, she took the ornaments from her hair and threw these also into the strug- gling mass of people below.
 An elderly man at an adjoining win dow threw out several spoons and forks, and then, finding nothing else at hand, threw an apple which was delft ly caught and promptly returned, striking the window close by, but, for tunately, without breaking the glass.
 The women then began to throw out treasury notes, wadding them into small balls and flinging them one by one to the excited crowd. After get rlrg rid of seven or e!gtt notes. she expressively spread out her hands to indicate that she had nothing more and was loudly cheered.

France is still standing ready to oc- cupy the Ruhr and will not ask for much excuse to carry out that move ment.

Upper SiIeSia Row Threatens Break Between France and
 the Other Allies.
LLOYD GEORGE VS. BRIAND
United States VIII Take No Hand in the Dispute-Admlnistra Drops Fight on Borah's Naval Reduc- ton Plan-RaiIway Wage
 Cut Coming.
By EDWARD ". PIckARp.

Upper Silesia threatens to become wedge to split the entente alliance. The Poles, slowing up in their insur- gent movement, are relying on France and have asked at least the moral SUD- port of America. The British, as rep resented by their government, are thoroughly disgusted with the Poles and resent the attitude and actions of the French France practically unan- imously stands back of the Poles and promises to Ego it alone" if necessary. Italy and Japan are said to side with the British, and America will not, for the present, mix in the imbroglio at all.
 Premier Lloyd George probably has been talking too much-a fault of his which has been in evidence before. First he told the house of commons that Poland was in the wrong, that it was up to the allied plebiscite forces, which are mighty weak, to restore or der in Upper Silesia and put the Poles back where he thinks they belong, and that if they could not do it, fairness demanded that the Germans be per mitted to do it. He also sent to Paris Ia note severely criticising the action of the French troops in Upper Silesia and declaring the French government was supporting Korfanty in his rebel 1ion.
 Premier Briand and the press of Paris responded with bitter attacks on the course being pursued by Great Britain, and 1t was declared France never would recognize the alleged promise mades by the British to Ger many, that she should have Upper Si- lesia in return for acceptance of the separations ultimatum. Though the total plebiscite vote in the zone was in favor of Germany, certain of the districts voted for union with Poland, and the French claim these should go Ito Poland in accordance with the treaty of Versailles. In fact both sides to the controversy assert that that treaty must be carried out, but apparently they interpret 1t different ly. The French say order could have been maintained easily if Great Brit ain had not withdrawn her part of the occupational force, and that her ex- Cu6S IlldI tue LIOOpS were HSCuSQ db home is insufficient. The opposition press in England admits the truth of this.
 MT. Lloyd George reinforced his statements by further assertion that he would not accept the French con- itentions, and he spoke with biting sarcasm of the attitude of the French press. The editors of Paris, indeed, are saying some very unpleasant things about the British prime minis ter and his government. One of them prints an account of alleged intrigues with Berlin concerning the ultimatum, designed to give the British complete control of the economic situation in Europe, and another accuses Lloyd George of thinking he can continue to dictate laws for the continent. "He forgets," says this editor, that the French army is available for backing Frances word, whereas England is represented in Europe only by Mir. Lloyd Georges speeches"

Early last week 1t became apparent that the administration had virtually abandoned its fight against Senator Borah's amendment to the pending naval appropriation bill, which requests the President to enter into negotia- lions with Great Britain and Japan for an agreement to curtail naval building. Maybe MT. Harding's change of attitude was forced, for test votes in the senate on Wednesday showed the opponents of the naval affairs committees program were nu- merous enough to do about as they pleased. The opposition included sev- eral insurgent Republican senators and all the Democrats. Senator Poin- dexter, chairman, already had written to the President informing him of the situation, stating that many of the administrations strongest supporters would be embarrassed if called on to vote against the Borah amendment, which they had advocated in the last hours of the Wilson administration. He did not tell what the President replied, but said: q have received nothing indicating any need for mak- ing a point of order against or oppos- ing the Borah amendment, which is the same as the one adopted in the last congress. I am heartily in favor of an international limitation of arm- aments upon a basis doing justice to the United States and not imperiling our national safety"
 The bill as adopted by the naval committee calls for the outlay of $500.- 100000 for the navy next year. The insurgents and Democrats succeeded in amending it in several particulars,

Continuing its hearings on the Vol stead bill to make the prohibition en- forcement law more drastic, the house judiciary committee did not find any friends of beer or the medical boot legger. Manufacturers of favoring extracts, patent medicines and per fumes, in protesting against added re- strictions, were outspoken in opposi- tion to medical beer and the sale of connections, masQuerading as medi- cine. Chemists appeared before the committee and protested vigorously against legislation which, they be- lieved, would tend to restrict the legiti- mate use of alcohol in industry.
 Representative Ryan of New York has introduced in the house a bill which would permit the sale of 5 per states where referendum showed the voters wished 1t. This. of course, won't get anywhere except into a pigeonhole, but there was some real solace for the vets in last weeks news. On Friday more than two-thirds of the federal prohibition forces were discharged on orders from Commis- sioner Kramer, because of lack of funds with which to pay their salaries. This condition will last, 1t was assert ed, for 40 days, and the bootleggers all over the country got busy at once Mir. Kramer hoped the police would supply the deficiency in enforcing the dry law, but in the cases of many cities his hope was baseless.

 It was predicted the insurgents would not go further in the disarm- ament plan than to force adoption of the BOrah amendment, though they might favor nne offered by Senator Pomerene authorizing the President to suspend the present building program pending the outcome of the proposed negotiations.
 The administration also let the house know that it had no objection to its proceeding with the peace with Germany resolution, and the house committee on foreign affairs has be- gun work on the measure. The house leaders do not agree with certain phases of the Knox resolution adopted by the senate, but the differences prob- ably can easily be reconciled.

The supreme council is expected to convene very soon, especially to take up the Silesian problem, and Amer1- can Ambassador Harvey will sit with it. But, as was said above, he will take no part in the discussions concerning that question, nor will he even express an opinion on It. This was made clear by Secretary of State Hughes in his reply to an appeal from Poland for American support. MT. Hughes explained to Prince Lubom- risky, Polish minister, that this is in accord with the traditional policy of the United States" not to become in- volved In matters of purely European concern. The Polish note accuses the allies, except France, of dealing with the whole question mot by principles of justice, but by the material inter- ests of those powers" and 1t con- cludes: 'This Is not a purely Euro pean matter. On the just solution of the matter of Upper Silesia depends the pacification of this province and the stimulation of its productivity, which has a great importance in the establishment of the economic sta bility of the whole world"
 So the Silesian question has created a most serious situation, and Germany is sitting back hopeful of a real breach, in the unity of the allies. But prob ably wiser councils will prevail, the anger of the chief actors will subside, and some peaceful way out of the muddle will be discovered.
 The allies last week sent to Berlin a note reiterating the demand that Germany be disarmed by June 30, and the German government began looking for means of compliance, especially as regards the orgesch of Bavaria which has refused to disband. Berlin informed the reparations commission that it was ready to pay 15O,OOO,OOO gold marks of the billion due May 31. The sum, partly in gold and partly in foreign securities, will be paid through an American bank, probably Morgan's. The gold will be deposited in the Reichsbank subject to call and a check sent to New York and from there to Paris. Thus the transfer of 50 tons of gold from Berlin to Paris Is obviated. The United States government Is not concerned in the transaction.
