ALLIED PARLEY DELAYED
BY the Associated Press

London, May 81. - Prime Minister
Lloyd George has gone to Hythe. near
Dover, where he will spend the week
end with Sir Philip Sassoon.
Suggestion was made that he would
meet Premier BRAND, of France, while
at Hythe, but dispatches from Paris
indicated there was no disposition on
the part of the French Premier to dis =
cuss the Silesian situation with Mr..
Lloyd George before Tuesday at the
earliest.
Paris, May 21.-(By A. Pam
other request came from London yes,
terday for a meeting Of the allied
premiers. either at Boulogne or at
Hythe. during the week end for dis
eussion Of the question of Upper Silesia:
1t is understood on the best OF
authority that Aristide BRAND, the
French Premier. let it be known that
he was in no hurry to meet David
Lloyd George, the British Prime Min
lister. It was said last night that NJ.
BRAND reiterated after the adjourn
ment Of the Chamber of Deputies, where
the Government still Is being inter-
pellated on the course it has taken with
regard to Upper Silesia, that he would
not meet Mr.. Lloyd George until the
debate in the Chamber has been con E
cluded and the report from the Upper
Eilesia Commission received.
In authoritative circles in the Cham
Der of Deputies 1t was said today that
NJ. BRAND was desirous Of show
Ing Mr.. Lloyd George the sentiment
which was freely expressed IN the
Hobbies yesterday, that the French Pre-
mier is not at the beck and call of the
British Prime Minister: that he does not
refuse to meet him, but will bide his
own time to do so.
The economic situation in Upper 81 :
lesia has been much aggravated, accord
ing to dispatches to the French Foreign
Once today, as a result of refusal OF
German employees to restore railway
communica tions and the failure Of the
Reichsbank in Berlin to send money tc
pay the miners.
As a result of the distress, extrem
lists are engaging in intense propaganda
and are even contesting leadership OF
the insurrection with Adalbert Kor'

Committee in the area.

When the gasoline engine broke down
at the Pennsylvania Railroad draw
bridge over Cooper's Creek. Camden,
this morning traffic was delayed about
half hour on the Trenton Division.
The bridge was open when the engine
stopped, and had to be pushed shut by

Meanwhile, Trenton locals into Cam

at z "A A. NJ. and it was not until 8 20

to the ferries. The jitney men flocked
to the bridge as soon as they heard OF
the trouble and reaped harvest.
