The French press and some French
officials profess to believe that George
Harvey, American Ambassador to
Great Britain. will be the arbitrator
in the Upper Silesian dispute when 1t
is taken up at the meeting of the Allied
Supreme Council In Boulogne.
The French are already seeing In
Ambassador Harvey's mere attend
ance on the Supreme Council his po-
tentaility as American arbitrator, and
they hope that II he voices Washing
TONS opinion on that issue 1t will be
in their favor.
But il the BRAND Government has
to climb down at all. it would infinitely
prefer to do so at the urging OF Amer
lea rather than at the insistence OF
Great Britain. Indeed, there were in
dications yesterday in the French
Chamber Of Deputies that any giving
way by the BRAND Government before
Great Britain alone would be followed
by the prompt defeat Of the Govern
rnent in the Chamber.
The French have always desired to
bring the United States back into Euro
pean councils, more as an arbitrator
than anything else. France took TINS
attitude in expectation of difficulties
with her English partner In the Entente.
The Avenir to-day calls Ambassador
Harvey's entrance into the council a
sensational development.
"Perhps Premier Lloyd George. who
spoke the other day with such presump-
tion Of American opinion being with him.
already counts on him Ambassador
Harvey as new partisan" 1t says.
1--WE have not solicited Ambassador
Harvey's favor for Poland. but we have
confidence in his high impartiality and
rejoice to sec America associated with
the Allies in seeking an accord. We call
upon him Ambassador Harvey to arbi-
trate between London and Paris"
The Homme Libre. stressing the re-
strictions President Harding placed on
Ambassador Harvey's role in the coun-
ell, says:
Nevertheless 1t is certain that In
adopting a passive attitude, the United
States Ambassador will playa prepon-
derant role In the discussion. and that
no decision will be reached without his
assent
For such a chauvinist anti-Briand
organ as the Action Frdncdts to see
Ambassador Harvey in this role is more
significant. 1t admits Americas only
interest is to see the worlds equilibrium
restored. 1t says that Americas rep
resentative will be like a man in an or
chestra who takes no part in the play
ing. but whose advice counts enormously
because 1t is the advice OF the public
who pays"

LORD NORTHCLIFFE IN

expressing regret and making retraction
for a statement which Lord Northcliffe
made at the dinner of American dry
goods men assembled here on May last.

oil question was based on the statement
OF second rate financier not Of Eng

Lord Northcyffe states that he now
realizes these remarks were unwise and
unwarranted" and he ''hastens TO ex-
press his sincere regret and offer an
unqualified retraction. Sir Edward re-
piled, accepting "the apology and with
drawal In tho spirit In which they are
offered" He added that TO refer
sightingly to a Canadian born British
subject as not OF English birth could not

she would be pushed over the dam .
At the suggestion of Mrs. Joseph A.
Blake. wife of the noted physician and
the formerly Mrs Clarence Mackay, Mrs
Stillman retained the firm of Stanchfield
& Levy as additional counsel. She pre-
viously had employed Cadwalader. Wick
ersham s. Taft, who had submitted a
fiat denial for her.
Mrs Stillmans lawyers asked permits
sion OF Justice Morschauser in March to
amend her answer to her husband
complaint and to provide for alinony
and counsel fees. 1t was in the amended
answer that the name OF Mrs Leeds and
OF her son, Jay Leeds. were thrust into
the casa Mrs. Stillman put forth the
assertion in the answer that Jay Leeds
was the son of the banker by Mrs
Leeds.
Friends of Mrs. Stillman are inclined
to believe that she now will go TO
France and start an action herself,
naming Mrs. Leeds as correspondent.
It has been said that when Mr.. and
Mrs Stillman separated in the spring
of 1920 1t had been agreed she would
start a suit. and that when she failed
to do so the banker acted. The under
standing was that the banker desired
to marry Mrs. Leeds, and thereby make
1t possible for Jay Leeds to participate
In the trust fund.
There are those, however, who feel
that Mrs. Stillman will not start suit
unless 1t Is stipulation in the settle
ment agreement. because that would
give Mr.. Stillman the opportunity to do
what It has been understood his wire
desired to prevent him from doing
make 1t possible for Jay Leeds to share
in the fund.
When asked about the reported settle
ment, Mr.. Mack said:
Il have nothing to say. As matter
OF fact I am prepared to go ahead Witr

by the newspapers that It has been post
poned until June 1 and q
All of the other lawyers in the case
were out of town, with the exception OF

Mr.. Brennan said he had been out OF

for several days, but hc hoped 1t was
true that an agreement had beer
