he declared that Germany mad shown

Tho scene in the chamber vas one
of the stornieat in It's history. The
Premier, his voice drowned m wave
after wave of jeering shouts. stood
his ground and declared France will;
go no further except under imperi-
Gus necessity" He informed the
Chamber that Germany had a new
note promising to close her Silcsian
frontier and to declare a state of
siege if necessary to enforce the or.
der.
AS he proceeded and II became Ap-
parent that he vas satisfied with
the German action, the impaticnce

'Chancollor Wirth has shown good

There was a chorus OF boots and
cat-cails. Many members rose ges-
ticulatlng. There was confusion in
the ai5!es.
France will go no further except
under imperious necessity" BRAND
shouted when he could make himself
heard. With fists clenched and hair
dishevelcd, he continued speaking.
although for the most part his words
were obliterated by the babel coming
from the floor. Amid the jeers and
shouts could be heard such phrases
as; when do we occupy the Ruhr?"
when will you put your hand to
Germany's throat?"
As the noise subSided, BRAND, his
voice hoarse from the strain, declared
that Premier Lloyd Georges speech
on the Silesian situation -- which
caused such bitter comment in France
had been mlsnterpreted IN this
country.
There was another outburs, Of de-
rision.
