BERLIN. May "a (By The Associated
Press "A new governm ent order, oper-
ative to-day, imposes a maximum fiae
of 100000 marks for illegal recruiting
or for organizing military bodies
Other orders issued completely close
the Upper silesian frontier and forbid
the formation of armed corps for ac-
tion in Upper Silesia.
The miners in the lower Silesian coal
fields have struck and all mines are
idle. The trouble is due to a dispute
over wages.
PARIS, May "A by The Associated
Press).-Germany replied to-day to
the French communication of yesterday
on the Silesian situation, the reply
declaring in effect that Germany had
taken the most rigorous measures
toward closing its frontier with Upper
Silesia.
Reply to Brands Inquiry
The French communication vas made
by Premier BRAND last night to the
German Ambassador, DR.. Mayer, who
was iSQueoICo 10 dSh MS government.
it was understood, to end definitely all
attempts at aggression in Silesia if
Germany did not wish to expose her
self to reprisals by the Allies.
The German answer was brought TO
the French Foreign Office by Ambas-
sador Mayer at II o'clock this morn
ing.
Dr.. Mayer informed Premier BRAND
that the German government had de-
cided to close the Silesian frontier
and compel the volunteer corps to dis
band. After his call French official
circles were optimistic. regarding the
Upper Silesian situation.
Dir. Mayors communication, while
not officially so stated. was assumed to
De reply to the note Premier BRAND
handed him last evening. and the
promptness of the reply was consid-
cred good augury of the disposition
OF the Berlin government to avoid
trouble.
Rosen Appointment Unpopular
The appointment Of DR.. Friedrich
Rosen. German Minister to Holland as
Foreign Minister in the German Cabi-
net, on the contrary produced a most
un1avorable impression. The French
Foreign Office regards DR.. Rosen as
an Inveterate enemy of France. owing
to ms attitude both before and since
the !angier incident. in which he
piaFed an important role. Fears were
expressed in official circles that the
presence IN the Wilhelmstrasse Of
diplomat 90 closely connected with the
old regime would prove an obstacle to
fhe batter relations between France
and Germany which had nromised we'll
from the attitude of the Government
OF Chancellor Wirth.

twenty years old, who was brought
from Reading, Pa, last Saturday with

Saturday by Jacob Raisces, hotel pro-
prietor of SO Greenpoint Avenue, Long

bond a year ago, after she had been
charged with theft Of jewelry and
household goods while employed as
domestic at the home of Henry Cold

was returned on April 13 and a week

LONDON, May 24.-The Supreme Al
lied Council, which probably will meet
Saturday at Boulogne, will in all like
lihood find considerably less tension
prevailing between Great Britain and
France than has existed during the
last few days. This will be the result,
chiefly, of Germany's action to-day in
complying with Frances ultimatum to
keep hands off in the Silesian crisis.
British officials explain the fact that
Great Britain did not send similar
note to Berlin demanding that the
Germans forbid the dispatch of troops
to Silesia by pointing out that Ger
many already had given her promise to
close the Silesian frontier, and there
was no need Of further note. That
Germany has now given q separate
promise to France is regarded as high
ly satisfactory, as it will forestall any
new move by France in the Ruhr dis
trict.
Developments of the next fortnight
are bound to depend largely on the re-
suit of the discussion of the sanctions

when g Sim Fener raised a flag right
