Germans Refuse ResponsibiIi-
 ty For the Situation and Its Consequences.

London, May (By the A. P1.-Dr. Stahmer. the German ambassador here. tonight presented a note to the foreign office protesting against the Polish coup In Upper Silesia as an apparently con- certed effort to take the province by force and refusing all responsibility for the sit uatlon and it's consequences
 The note has also been communicated to the other allied governments. It de- clares that by the action of irresnonsihie PoIlsh agents and provocateurs a strike has been engineered in Upper Silesia through the whole mining and industrial areas, terrorizing the willing workers and preventing them from carrying out their tasks, While Polish sokols and armed bands cover the country as far as Kati- bor.
 The organized destruction of railways and bridges, it is asserted. shows a pre- arranged plan for Polish instructions The inter-allied commission, it is added mas recognized that the German popula- tlon has given no provocation.
 Late in the afternoon Dr. Sthamer pre-. sented a second note stating that the sit. nation had become extremely acute ant recltlng details, according to which inc insurgents had seized the entire industria region. including the districts of Presz Rybnik and Ratibor and a portion o Lublinitz, Gross-Strehlitz and OppeIn. II fighting at Rybnik two Italian officers an, | thirteen men were killed Director Co, ot the Preussen mine at Mischowitz an, Director Ganse of the Czuschez mine a Rybnik and others have been murdered The note says that all German officials employees and directors have been com pelied to abandon the industrial estab lishments and that all mines and factorie are at standstill. The plebiscite polio have been disarmed and some of ther carried off. The insurgents are well armed, many of them wearing Polish uni forms. Railways, telephone lines an 1 telegraph wires have been cut and man railway bridges blown up.
 The inter-alLied Commission, the moi declares, admits that the German popula
 ton is biameless and has promised to ir
 tervene with all measures at it's disposs
 but unfortunately, with the exception ( the declaration of martial law, no tang
 ble success in the suppression of the rs | volt can be observed.
 pr. Sthamer concludes by calling ii attention of the British government to if
 extreme danger, unless speedy steps al
 taken to suppress the revolt.

 MT. Sthamer had conference of an hour tonight with Count Sforza, the Italian foreign minister while the SUI preme council was still sitting. Baron Abernon, the British ambassador to Ger many was present
 The endeavor of the supreme coun- cil has been to reach deflniteness in fixing Germanys obligations within the terms of the treaty, which left them in definite aud subject to change at any time by the reparations commission. In this work it had the assistance of H. nanciaI authorities and members of the inter-aliied reparations commission.
 The members of the supreme council believe they have been able to keep with in the limitations of the treaty n the documents now in the process of final drafting.
 The treaty provided for variable pay ments, to be fixed by the commission ac- cording to their judgment of Germany'S varying capacity to pay The allies by having the amounts recoverable in ;hat vague position. could not capitalize theH credits, nor balance their budgets. i The supreme council considered it also i Tn the interest of Germany to know how much she must pay. so that she can make | her own financial calculations in the l future.
 Germanys separations debts are pay able abroad hence it is the volume O. her foreign transactions that will enabl her to pay much or little. The yaria tions in the exports ought justly to ofse the sums due abroad in any one year therefore. by taking a percentage of tn | export values the allies will take thu true measure of Germany's power to pa. outside the country. She is considered t be country rich in interior resources but owing to the exchange, poor in ca pacity to pay other countries.

 Capital never goes cold and hungry" Mir Eastty said. Capital is never out Of job unless it wants to be.
 We are here pleading the cause of human beings who need food, clothing

 All that his organization asked. Mir Esstty said, was a steady job, under faiI conditions at a decent living wage. Closing the unions argument, F. r Grable of the maintenance of way em. ployes, declared that the members of hi. organization were the lowest paid grouI of the railway workers, and asked tha l the labor board establish a minimum subsistence schedule of s1,S0o a year foi family Of five At the same time h, read a telegram that the Mississipp Central had announced a cut in sectiol mems wages to 15 cents an hour for ten-hour day.
