Madrid, julio de 1921.-Cuando

arte de vestirse sin telas. Habfamos
presenciado un bailable que ejecuta-
ban cuarenta cincuenta inglesas,
todas elias con la cabellera de ORC,
todas igualmente proporcionadas, de
identica estatura, de las mismas car
mes rosadas y los mismos ojos azules
de mirar ingenuo, tan iguales, tan
iguales las cdarenta o cincuenta, que
parecian una sola reproducida cua-
renta cincuenta veces por una COM

German Populace Armed

RAT1BOR, Upper Silesia, May (By
The Associated Press s).-Forner Ger
man army officers have taken charge
of the district on the west bank of
the Oder, in this section of Upper
Silesia, and are issuing rifles, furnish
ing machine guns, drilling the popula-
tion and garrisoning the town. The
French and Italian troops are being
ignored and are remaining neutral
on guard duty, while the entire east
bank of the Oder, as far north as
krappitz, is in possession of the Poles.
The Germans have communicated
automobiles and established courier
services. The headquarters staff has
requisitioned barracks and is accent
ing volunteers, who have been so
numerous that guns were issued to
only three men in every fifteen.
AT Krappitz huge flag of the Ger
man Empire is flying above the market
place. over the heads of the small
French force there.
The French and Italians in Ratibor
nave been on constant guard duty for
three days without sleep, although they
have taken no active part in the fight
ing, which has been going on steadily
since 6 p. m. Sunday, when the Poles
began, heavy machine gun and rife
fire, the bullets raking the street lead
ing from the bridge over the Oder to
the railroad station.
A group of Italians crouched behind
brick barricade on the bridge, bull

mander of the Italians, with his troops

France Warns Germany
Says Sending of Troops FIJI Be
Treaty Breach; Allies Ask Po.
Jayad to NsaUo1p Agifasoys


PARIS, May (By The Associated
Press).-A Berlin dispatch to the Matin
says that the French Ambassador in
that city has informed the German
Foreign Office that all incursions of
German government troops into Upper
Silesia would be considered by France
as violation of the Versailles Treaty.
The Council of Ambassadors, with
Mr.. Wallace, present, decided to-day,
in an effort to quiet the unrest in
Upper Silesia, to ask the Inter-Allied
commission in the district to inform
the population of the exact state Of
affairs, explaining that no decision had
been taken as to division of the
territory.
The council also decided to request
the Polish government to disavow the
Polish agitators and to remind the
German government that the inter-Al-
lied Commission in Upper Silesia, pro-
vided for under the Versailles treaty,
possesses full authority over the re-
nounced its decision with regard to the
plebiscite, and to request the German
government that it consequently alb
stain from all intervention there.
France to-day replied to the note
which Germany last week addressed to
the Allies, in which attention was
called to the Polish insurgent move
ment in Upper Silesia. The reply as
sures Germany that the Allied forces
in the district have no need of outside
help. 1t points out that the troubles
were due, at least in part, to false ru-
mors that the mining district had been
awarded to Germany, and it says that
the Allies are doing their full duty
under the circumstances and already
are reastablishing order.

New Policy Has Critics
Anti.Leagt1e Republicans i'm
Congress Blame Hughes
and Hoover For Action
BY Carter Field

WASHINGTON, May 9.-This gov
ernment is vigorously behind the AL
lies in the demand that Germany ac-
cept the terms just proposed, high
spokesman Of the Administration made
clear to-day. Only by such acceptance,
he declared, can serious consequences
be avoided and the processes OF eco
nomic reconstruction of the world be
set in motion.
No inkling had been received here
late tonight as to whether Germany
had accepted the terms, as reported
from Berlin, though the profound hope
of every official connected with the
Administration is that Germany will
take this action speedily. Every days
delay, 1t Is felt, holds back the return
to productive activity" just that much
longer. and Incidentally retards the
return of prosperity in this country.
Republican Leader Mondell Of the
House Of Representatives had 8 long
conference with President Harding to-
day, and, after emerging from She
Presidents Office, admitted that the
Knox peace resolution would be held
up in the House indefinitely.
Announcement q Day Late
This was learned Saturday after
noon, and printed in The Tribune Sun
day morning, but no announcement
was made of it, until to-day. In fact,
at the State Department it was denied
that any request had been made for
such delay by the department. This
was technically true. since it is under
stood that the request was made
through the White House to the Lead
ers of the House.
Republican leaders in the Senate to-
day were sure that the Knox resolution
would eventually be passed, and that
this part of the original program had
not been discarded. AS to the delay,
they expressed no strong opposition to
it If such action would result in re-
moving any element of embarrassment
from the President in his handling OF
foreign affairs.
There is considerable resentment
under cover at both ends of the Capitol
with regard to the foreign policies, md
as has been frequently stated in The
Tribune the resentment is not for some
reason directed at President Harding,
but at two members Of his Cabinet
Secretary of State Hughes and Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover. 1t is be-
lieved that they have Influenced the
President to take the steps he has in
renewing this country's participation

ENGLEWOOD, N. J., May e.-Eliza.
beth Muhlenporth, sixteen years old, OF
612 East Seventeenth Street, New York
City, one Of two girls who fell off the
edge of the Palisades north Of here
yesterday, died tonight in the Engle-
wood Hospital. An operation was per-
formed in the afternoon in vain hope
of saving her life. She had suffered
fractured skull.
Irene S. Fredericks. fifteen years
old, Of 2o9 Avenue C, New York City,
the other girl. who suffered concus-
sion of the brain. regained conscious
ness late this afternoon and gave the
first account Of the attempt she made
to save Miss Muhlenporth from falling
from the top of the Palisades to rocks
sixty feet below.
The two girls were members of q
school picnic. The children were in
charge of q teacher in a continuation
school in this city. The teacher had
wood for a camp fire. 1t was while in
search Of kindling that the two girls
fell over the precipice.
Il warned. her" said Miss Fredericks
that she was taking her life in her
hands to try to reach that bough, be-
cause it was hanging fully three feet
out from the edge Of the cliff, and there
we're sharp rocks at the bottom of the
Palisades, far below. She was q brave
girl, though, and she merely laughed
and ran toward the cliff. When she
was just on the edge she stumbled and
caught her right foot under root of
the tree.
"She screamed and then toppled over
the cliff. / was within a few feet of
her and saw that the root of the tree
was holding her foot, SO I seized it and
held on.
when she felt my hands on her
ankle she cried out: Save me, Irene;
pull me backl' ! was so excited that |
forgot to scream. I knew it would do
little good any way, because we had
drifted off good distance from the
teacher and the rest of the girls. There
was nothing for me to do but to try to
pull her back over the cliff, and began
to tug and tug until I finally got her
free Of the root, but instantly I real
lied had made mistake, for I was
not strong enough TO sustain the
weight of her body. Then I began to
scream for help.
each second I could feel myself
being dragged nearer and nearer the
edge of the cliff. Then, it seemed the
ground fell from under me. remember
falling through the air, still clutching
Elizabeth's ankle, but that was all j
knew about the accident until / awoke
here late last night with my head and
body swathed in bandages. I didn't
know until the nurses told me that
Elizabeth was dying in that cot over
there, and that both of us had been
picked up unconscious on the rocks at
the foot of the Palisades and. carried
here in an automobile"

Special Cable to The Tr;5uns

Copyright. 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, May 9.-The United States
resumed her place beside the Allies to-
day. Ambassador Hugh Wallace assisted
at meeting of the Council of Ambassa-
doris at the Quai d'Orsay this morning
and he will be present at meetings
hereafter until Myron T. Rerrick, his
successor as Ambassador to France,
arrives.
After this mornings session Mr..
Wallace said he was greatly impressed
by the cordiality of the greeting ac-
corded him by his colleagues.
Although Mr.. Wallace resumes his
seat simply as official observer, with
out vote, his return was viewed as
most timely indication Of the COPPER
alton of the United States government
in solving the difficulties of establish
ing peace in Europe. Ambassador Wal
lace will continue to be q more or less
silent listener, as before; he will ex-
press an opinion only when 1t is asked
and after an opportunity to communi-
cate with Washington.
Roland w. Boyden, who is Americas
official observer on the Reparations
Commission, was not present at the
meeting of the commission this after
noon, although he has received con-
firmation OF his appointment from
Washington. Mr.. Boyden returned to
Paris two days ago from trip as the
guest of Walker D. Hines, of the Inter
Allied Rivers Commission, through
Central Europe as far as CONSTANT
nople. Mr. Boyden said ne found eco
nomic conditions improving in Central
Europe, although finances still were in
o bad tangle.
Mr.. Boyden intends to sit in the next
meeting Of the commission, which is
expected to take up much difficult
work. Although Mr.. Boyden is only an
official observer, he has won reputa-
tion here for having strong opinions
and vigorous speech, and it is believed
he will not long remain passive fac
tor in the commission.
