Clouds that had been hanging heavy
over central Europe began to break
away last week. Premier BRAND, ex-
pressing his confidence In the good In
tenti0ns Of the German ministry, re-
fused to let France violate the YER
sailles treaty by taking independent
action In occupying the Ruhr. Prime
Minister Lloyd George quit talking
and dispatched British troops to help
in restoring and maintaining order In
Upper Silesia. Chancellor With az
sured the entente allies Germany
would not send regular troops into
Upper Silesia and would do its best to
stop the movement Of arms and am
munItion and to keep the Germnn-Si.
lesian border closed. KOrfanty's P0-
llsh insurgents and the German resi-.
dents Of Upper Silesla continued their
struggle, but perhaps with less en-
thusiasm.
BRANDS attitude and actions were
openly conciliatory and he successful
~ resisted the attacks Of his political
opponents who sought to force him to
adopt measures which might rupture
the entente and probably would lead
to his downfall. He did not, however,
relax In his firmness toward Germany,
for he sent to Berlin an ultimatum
giving Wirth "a hours to reply salts
factorily to his former note In which
the chancellor was warned that the
sending Of German troops or munitions
into Upper Silesia would be consld-
cred warlike act. Next day BRAND
told the chamber Of deputies the Ger
man ambassador had assured him the
German Upper Slleslan frontier would
I've closed and the reichswehr troops
would be ordered to disarm and dis
band irregulars seeking to enter the
plebiscite zone to fight the Polish In
surgenfs.
The premier promised the chamber
that P0land's interests would be safe
guarded and the result Of the plebis-
cite figures. In which the Poles OBJ
tained majority Of the rich indus
trial regions. would be the base for
tracing the boundary.
Concluding his long address, BRAND
said: .SInee Doctor Wirth Is been
ut the head OF affairs the Gen .pb gov
1ernment has shown frankness h I'D 10y
atty. He has fulfilled all promises,
held to all engagements, and put them
into execution.
"If Mt any time, on question vital
to France the problem Of adopting
another policy should arise, ! would
not hesitate.
Germany Is satisfied with the de- \
mands for reparatioDs. i maintained
the accord between the allies at Lon
don and even with the Upper Silesian
problem disturbing US the accord will
be maintained more completely than
ever owing to the return Of the United
States to the supreme council. In to-
days world crisis no people can live

find herself alone rs In 1915 and 1870.
