Allied Supreme
Council to Meet
In Paris Aug.
Meeting Compromises Differ
ences Existing Between
France and Britain Over
Procedure in Silesia.

London, July 26-The allied su.
preme council viii meet in Paris
August 4, according to an official an,
nouncemcnt this morning. 1t is I'M
derstood the session will be brief
dealing only with the Silesian ques-
ton.
Marquis Curzon, secretary Of state
for foreign affairs, and A. J. Balfour,
lord president of the council, will
represent Great Britain, as it is inn
probable Premier Lloyd George will
be able to leave London.
The British experts who will ex-
anime the Silesan question before
the council meeting already have left
for Paris.
1t is understood that Ambassador
Harvey will attend the supreme
council sessions in an advisory and
unofficial capacity.
The call for this meeting of the
supreme council compromises, to a
degree, the differences between Great
Britain and France over the pro-
cedurc to be adopted in connection
with upper Silesia, where the situa-
ton owing to the continued German
and Polish rivalries in the disputed
area is said to be increasingly threat
ening.
A dispatch from Paris Monday
night indicated that Great Britain
Rad agreed to a meeting of the su-
preme council August and a pre-
liminary examination into the upper
Silesian question by committee of
experts as France has desired.

Harding Urges Probe
OF Pellagra Epidemic
In Southern States

Washington, July 2 Alarmed at
reports of a semi-famine, coupled
with an epidemic of pellagra in a
large section of the southern cotton
belt, President Harding today re.
quested both the pubic health serv-
ice and the American Red Cross to
make immediate investigation and
report what could be done by the
federal government.
The fullest cooperation of all
federal agencies in the relief meas
ures was promised by the president,
who declared, if found necessary,
congress would be asked to pass spc-
cial legislation. He urged that no
time be lost in ascertaining condi-
tions and applying to them an effec-
tive remedy.
"The threat of famine and plague" "
the president wrote, seemed to arise
from the fact that depressed markets
had made it impossible for the people
of a large section to sell their stocks
of cotton. "The resulting shortage of
money, he said, apparently had de-
prived many thousands of the variety
of food necessary to ward off pei
lagra."

grim Tercentenary

Washington, July 26-A vacation
Of several days in the White noun
tains of New Hampshire is planned
by President and Mrs. Harding to
follow their attendance next Mon
day at the Pilgrim tercentenary cele'
bration at Plymouth, Mass. During
their outing they are to be guests OF
Secretary Weeks of the War depart
ment at his country place, near Lam
caster, n. II.
Under present plans, they will go
directly there from Plymouth, arriv-
ing week from today and probably
remaining until the following Satur-
day or Sunday. During the stay, the
president expects to accept no invi-
tations but to devote his whole time
to rest and recreation.
Make Trip on Yacht.
1t is hoped to make the trip to
New England and back on the presi-
dental yacht Mayhower.
The president is to make but one
address at Plymouth as part of the
program. Early in the day he will
review military and civic parade
and during the evening will attend
the pageant depicting the landing OF
the Pilgrims.
Lancaster, N. H., July 26.-Presi-
dent Harding will be far from the
madding crowd when he comes to
the summer home Of Secretary
Weeks here next week. The Weeks
lodge is at the top of Mount Pros
pect, 1000 feet above sea level, and
l,240 feet higher than this busting
little border town. 1t commands
view of all the principal peaks of the
White mountains, and also of the
Connecticut river, with its right bank
in New Hampshire and Vermont on
its left. The view from the observa-
tion tower which Secretary Weeks
has set uD near his lodge, has been
declared to be the most satisfactory
in all the mountain country.
1t will be no new scene to the
president, however, for as fellow
senator with Mr.. Weeks he was a
member of a party that came here
from Washington several years ago
and enjoyed a stay at the Mount
Prospect lodge. In 1918 he came
here again as chautauqua lecturer
and renewed his acquaintance with
the peaks, notches and intervales.
Building his summer home in the
town where he was born a farmers
boy. Mr.. Weeks at much expense
set up two-story structure atop the
mountain with seven chambers, din
ing room and kitchen on the first
floor, and on the second one large
room with two freplaces and four
balconies.

Allies Do Not Consider

Constantinople, July 26.--(By the
Associated Press.-The Turks have
halted 40 miles east of Eski- Shehr
at the Pass of Altikeuk, and also at
Seid- l-Ghazi, where counter of
fcnsive stopped the Greeks advance,
There seems to be no doubt that
the Greeks obtained an important
initial success in the taking of Ku-
taia and Eski-Shehr. due to their
great superiority in artillery. Allied
military observers, however. do no,
\ consider that a decision has been
\geached in the fighting.
t,ski- Shehr, Asia Minor, July 90
(By the Associated Press 1.-The
Greeks entered Eski-Shehr headed
by Prince Andrew, but did not stop
here. They continued their pursuit
Of the retreating Turks into the open
plains beyond the city.
Was Rapid Advance.
The Greek advance was made with
the utmost rapidity. By night, its
path was lighted by scores of inn
mense blazes all along the road and
up the mountain side, consisting of
burning villages, which had been
fired by the retiring nationalists.
From Ainegul on, In radius OF 50
miles around Eski-Shehr, few vii
lagos are left. Turkish prisoners say
it is the purpose of Mustapha kemal
Pasha, if he must withdraw III this
district, to leave the Greeks nothing
but homeless refugees to feed.
The roads are choked with flee
ing Turkish refugees from burning
villages, making their W." toward
Brussa on buffalo carts, on asses
and afoot, with nothing but hastily
gathered intimate belongings. They
said their villages were taken and
. looted by the nationalist soldiers be-
fore being fired.
Thus, whole communities are
migrating as units in groups of 1000
and 5000 each, greatly impeding the
supply service of the Greek army
and rendering the countryside un-
safe.
The crops in the fields along the
path Of the Hellenic army's advance
have been left unharvested by the
dispersed and terrified villagers.
This presages famine during the
coming winter, as the utmost efforts
are required on the part of the
Greeks to supply its army alone
from its base at the Piraeus.
Every Greek soldier is being used
in the military operations, the police
work at Brussa, and Mudana being
done by sailors Of the Greek fleet.
AS the soldiers are required in the
front line service. none is available
to harvest the ungarnered grain.

Wholesale Decline
In Prices Slows Up

Washington, July 26.-Wholesale
prices in the United States, according
to figures compiled by the federal re-
serve board for the purpose of inter-
national comparisons. showed a de-
cline of prices during June of 2 per
cent, against per cent during May.
On the basis of prices in 1918 equal
to the index number 100, commodi-
ties imported shifted from an index
rumber of los during May to l02
during June. Prices of exports also
declined from l25 in May to l22 in
June. The accommodates index
stands at l39, as compared with 142
in May.
This index number is compiled
from 90 wholesale price quotations
for representative commodities taken
in leading United States markets. In
most cases weekly quotations are
averaged to obtain the monthly
figures, and these in turn are weight
ed according to the Importance of
the commodity, then the next num-
Der is constructed.

Herman Regains
Bantam Honors
Trounces Former Champion,
Joe Lynch, in l5-Round
Wrangle at Brooklyn.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

| Chicago Tribune-Om Bee Leased Wire
Brooklyn, July 26.-Pete Herman
regained the bantamweight cham
pionship by soundly trouncing Joe
Lynch in IS rounds at Ebbetts field
last night. Herman led right from the
opening bell and except for few
flashes here and there, when Lynch
managed to rock the little Italian
with rights to the jaw. Lynch slowly
but surely was passing back the title
to Herman.
The weight of both boys was an
rounced at ll6 pounds.
In the very first round Herman
stepped right out and raped Joseph
with series of left and right
smashes to the face During one of
the warm scrimmages in the openang
frame Lynch went to the floor.
During the rest OF the journey
Joseph had the utmost respect for the
sharp shots being sent through by
Herman. sIn the second round
Lynch managed to grab Peter with a
hard straight punch TO the jaw. Her
n an reelcd back and fell against the
ropes.
It was noticeable from the fourth
round Lynch did very little execution
with his right hand, depending al
most exclusively on MS south paw in
tying to offset the vicious attacks
o! his smaller opponent. 1t was re-
ported at the end of the fight that
Lynch had fractured a small bone in
his right hand during the third
round and he was compelled to favor
that member considerably afterward.
From the seventh round it was all
Herman. He rocked and staggered
Lynch with ripping uppercuts, &C
companied by hard right smashes to
the head.
Joe leaped at Herman, throwing all
caution to the winds, and tried with
his both hands to bring down Peter,
but the latter was too strong tor
him. Again in the last two rounds
Lynch tried hard in face of the odds
against him to turn the tide, but
Herman had too much in his favor
and Joe made his try in the last two
jumps from home. Pete had enough
left to turn him back and at the fii.al
bell the judges were unanimous in
voting for Herman and restoring to
him once more the coveted bantam
weight championship of the world.

Holland is prototype of 5-year-old
Davey McCluskey of Harlem.
Davey's arm got stuck in a fire hy-

Davey and some chums found the
cap of the hydrant loose and un-

he tried to withdraw it he couldn't

Japanese to Act
On Harding Plan
Definite Action Regarding
Disarmament Acceptance
Is Anticipated.

Toxic, July 26.-(By The AS
sociated Press. .)-Official circles last
night were disposed to forecast def
mite action by the Japanese cabinet
today in acceptance of President
Harding's suggestion for far east
ern conference. Apparently the
talks between Ambassador Shide-
hara and Secretary of State Hughes
in Washington have gone far toward
clarifying the situation.
According to Japan's understand
ing of the American viewpoint as
given out here, Americas idea is to
make the basis of the conference a
broad discussion of policies and
principles, although each participant
would have the right to introduce
specific subjects if they were ger
name to the principle under discus
sion, and if the powers generally in
the PACIFIC were affected. The idea
is said to prevail that questions al
fecting two powers should be left,
wherever possible, to the powers
concerned.

Sugar Dividend Action

Not little interest is being shown
in the dividend meetings scheduled for
to-day Of directors of the Cuban-Amer-
lean Sugar Company and the National
Refining Company. Although observers
believe that the former will omit the
disbursement on the common stock and
that the latter will reduce the 10 per cent
rate usually paid. they are by no means
certain what the directors actually will
decide to do. 1t is believed, however.
tnat the preferred payments on Cuban
American stock are safe for the time
being. The directors Of this company
reduced the rate on the common from
81 to SO cents quarterly three months
ago and it was generally believed yes
tf"rday that the payments would now
be discontinued. Since the American
Sugar Refining Company omitted pay
ment oe the dividend on the common
stock for the first time since the com
pany was organized. thirty years ago,
it is difficult to see how other sugar
companies are any better off at pres
emit.
