TO HEAR SILESIA CASE.
Council of League of Nations TO Meet
Aug. 90

Paris, Aug. l3 tBy the Associated
Press -Niscount Ishii, president OF
the council of the league of nations
is understood to have decided to sum
mon that body to meet on August 20
for the purpose Of considering a solu.
tion of the upper Slesia problem. Is.
Inmates of how long it may take the
council TO arrive at a decision vary
widely. running from a few DAYS to
several months.
Discussing the situation with the
Echo de Paris last night, Louis Louch
eur, minister for liberated regions in
the French cabinet, remarked that
things 90 quicker than you think.
He added he had absolute confidence
in the ability of the council to arbi-
trate the veXing question His conf
dence, however, was not shared by
Paris newspapers this morning, which
called attention to the previous work
of the council relative to Danzig. Vii
ma and the Aland islands as evidences
of the kind of speed and impartiality
that might be expected.
In agreeing to submit the Silesian
question to the council of the league
Premier BRAND is asserted to have
waived the rule providing that deci-
sions of the council must be unanimous
and the impression is that he will ac.
cept the verdict of majority.
Emphatic sstisgaetion with the deci
sion of the supreme council to call
upon the league of nations to settle
the Silesian question was generally ex-
pressed by the press here to-day.
The city was plastered during the
night with large posters issued by an
association Of students. These post
ers gave a carefully prepared argu-
ment in support of the French posi-
tion as opposed TO that of Great Brit
ain.
Newspapers printed in the English
and French languages based their con
tention that the French attitude was
correct on the ground that il the par
tition of Silesia would cause TO arise
a spirit Of revenge in Germany IT was
too late to apply this theory. They
declared that, since Danzig and 9th
rr places had been taken away from
Germany, the only thing remaining
was 10 render Germany as impotent
As possible.

ARMED STATE
POLICE PATROL
BOARDER WATERS
To Prevent Smuggling of Liquor Into
United States Under Ontario
Temperance Act.

Detroit, Mich, Aug l3.--Armed with
rifles, detachment of state police to-
day started patrolling the waters in
the vicinity of Detroit with motor
boats to guard against liquor SNUG
glers from Canada.
The troopers, rs in number, arrived
here from Lansing last night and re-
ported to Charles p Campau, Detroit
representative of the Michigan public
safety commission, who has declared
open warfare on the liquor smugglers.
The arrival of the state police fol-
lowed reports that efforts were being
made to flood the United States with
intoxicants from Canada as the re-
suit of the court ruling in Windsor
that the Ontario temperance act does
not forbid their export.
Campau declared he would get ''ev
cry bottle of beer and whiskey that
is brought over" from Canada.
A heavy increase in the number of
application for clearance Of beer and
whiskey for the United States during
the last few days was reported from
Windsor to-day.

methods that would raise the needed
revenue within reasonable certainty

progress has been along these lines,
the statement says, adding: There

to insure that no class will he left an
avenue of escape from these. A casual
analysis of the proposals shows that
what may be described as the rich

tributed over the entire community,
rich and poor.
"The reduction is 32 percent of the

tually more revenue from these sources

COMET AGAIN VISIBLE.
But Only In Southern Hemisphere
Say Astronomers.

Heidelberg, Aug. l3.-Bril.iant light
bands which took the form of a wreath
running from west-northwes, to east
southeast were produced by the tail
of comet through which the earth
passed last Monday night astronomers
at the Koenigstuhl observatory an
nounced last night. These light bands
gradually faded from view with the ap-
proach of dawn.
Observations taken at the university
are said to have indicated that the head
of the comet passed between the sun
and the earth and that the light from
the comets tail moved from north to
south. The astronomers predict that
the comet will again be visible TO
points in the southern hemisphere,
where conditions for observations are
favorable at the present time.
