Allies Refuse More
Troops for SiLesid
Confined from Pare One

Continued from Pare One
French desire for safety, knowing what
France had suffered in two wars. That
security, however. he declared, ought to
rest upon the moderation with which
the vfctors used their power, and upon
equity in apportioning Silesia. The
British Empire, the Prime Minister de-
clared, would never be dragged into
another war caused by the oppressive
use Of superior force or the abuse OF
justice In time of triumph.
Asperity Disappears
With today's meeting Of the Council
all asperity between the French and
British delegations over the Silesian
boundary apparently had disappeared.
Both sides are agreed. It seems, that
there must be compromise over this
question and that the unity of the AL
lied Powers cannot be wrecked over
matter 80 relatively unimportant.
The council resumed formal hearings
OF the Upper Silesian experts today, but
no one seemed really interested In what
they had to say.
The conference thus far has shown a
marked contrast to the bitter conten-
tions Of the San Reno, Paris. Bou-
logne and London Supreme Council
meetings. In this connection Mr.. Lloyd
George is quoted as having remarked
that the mere presence Of the American
Ambassador has had stabilizing ef-
feet. 1t Is felt that he brought with
him a calm outside view that tended to
soften the sharpness of the controversy.
The presence Of George Harvey, the
United States Ambassador TO Great
Britain. has led to suggestions in un-
official quarters that he may play a
definite role in settling the vexing 81 :
lesian question. Mr.. Harvey has made
no statement. but there is an assumption
that any action he may take will be
directed by the State Department in
Washington.
Brigadier General II. T. Allen, COM
mander in chief Of the American Army
Of Occupation, was called before the
Supreme Council Immediately after II
opened this mornings session. When
General Allen arrived in Paris It was
understood that he had come to consult
with Ambassador Harvey on the sub bject
of the cost Of maintaining American
troops in Germany.

George Walsh. also arrested and re-

"For the love Of Mike get this ma

want to get out of here just as fast
as ! can. Why, they are liable to

"What about you asking rs It all

you?" Maxwell was asked.
Who's Andy? l don't know the

having George and me locked up charged
with being owners of 1928 quarts OF
perfectly good liquor. locking us. up in
the same Jail with it and making us
spend the weekend in company with
the 1928 quarts and never asking us to
have one mcaslv drink? I'll say that's

"You see its in three cells which are

put chains around the cell bars and
put additional locks on them. The

THREE MEN ARRESTED
IN RUM-CRAFT RAID

Atlantic City. Aug. 9.-The Federal
Government fired the opening gun here
yesterday in its campaign to round up
members of the crew yet at large and the
passenger list of the schooner Henry l..
Mar"hall. taken in custody a week ago
by the cutter Seneca off this coast with
her cargo of Nassau liquor. Two shore
fishermen who are charged with being
involved in the escape of the skipper
pied the ''stateroom' aboard the
schooner. just before the Seneca cap
tured the craft, were arrested on war
rant issued by Hiram Steelman. United
States Commissioner, of this city.
The prisoners, Daniel COnover, 40
Arctic avenue. and Harry Truck. 2317
Fairmount avenue. were taken into GUS
today at the instance of Captain John
Holdskom, commandant of the Inlet
Coast Guards. on the technical charge
of landing aliens not properly passed
by immigration inspectors. Bail was
fixed at $1,000 in each case.
Now York. Aug. 0.-Another ship
was added yesterday to the string of
mystery craft sighted recently off the At
lantic Coast and suspected of everything
from piracy to rum running.
The latest, described as 12,000.ton
steamship, was sighted August 8 about
sixty miles southeast of Cape Hatteras
by the steamship West keene. which
arrived from Pacific Coast ports.
The Kcene's officers said the stranger
had remained four miles distant. She
carried three maSts and two tunnels.
Two cargo booms, usually snugged down
while ships are at sea, were riggcd to
the foremast
An effort to exchange radio messages
failed when the ship refused to answer.

rose, Big Tom would take the easiest
way out and join in the framing Of a
harmony ticket with the Wares.
Mayor Moore's tactics at this time
are to force Cunningham to put Pen =
roses thoughts into action. In short,
the Mayor is not only forcing Penrose
he is at the same time trying to force
Cunningham to make good as Penrose
leader in Philadelphia. With Penrose
feeling toward the Wares ~ he says he
feels. the Mayor believes that Cunning
ham is lying down on the job of repre- :
srnting Pcnrose. What the Mayor wants
right now, pending the development of
his own fire, is to have Penrose give
orders to Big Tom. These orders would
be logically that Cunningham and other
Penrose leaders stand by the Mayor.
Otherwise 1t is felt Penrose does not
mean what he says.
