now in the process of elimination,
and that the crisis is over.
Incidentally, it is learned that
should their presence be required,
additional British troops will be sent
to Silesia, under the policy that
their mere presence would consti-
tute a moral force. 1t is pointed
out that British Intervention. even
without the threat of troops, has al
ready been successful in ending the
fighting at several points in Upper
SilesIa. and that the Poles have re-
treated in many places solely upon
representations made by British
agents.
Faith in BriandH
It is believed as well that BRAND
has been successful in conciliating
French opinion, at the same time
removing every cause for Anglo
French friction.
Tension between France and Great
Britain has relaxed under the pacific
influence of Premier Brands speech
of conciliation Monday. and a new
cordiality toward France is now
manifest in official circles. British
officials are still quite confident that
Germany will live up to her under
takings in Upper Silesia, prevent
German reinforcements from filter
ing through the border, and in other
ways promote the peace OF the
country.
As reported in official dispatches,
the Germans continue to. send food
trains into Upper Silesia. allaying
the danger of famine. and the Ger
man military command is gradually
regaining control of the German in
surgents.
The British foreign office is pre-
pairing for a supreme council meet
ing next week, assuming that Pre-
mier BRAND will receive vote of
confidence.

Hot Tilt Takes Place
Among French Deputies

PARIS, May 25.-Today's session
of the chamber of deputies was thor
oughly enlivened by a hot tilt be-
tween Deputy Lacottes, Speaker
Peret and Premier BRAND. in which
the choice of England or America
as Frances ally came in for dis
cussion.
Lacottes, who is called by his
associates, "the Meistersinger of
Nuremburg," attacked England de-
claring that Frances safety lies
in recovering Americas friendship
And that will be recovered only by
freeing ourselves of England's vas
salage." ".e
Previously Speaker Peret had
called the deputy to order twice. but
BRAND here interposed"
Gives Sarcastic Reply.
"our allies are intelligent enough
to place proper proportions on the
words of certain deputies"
He was roundly applauded at this
interposition.
Lacottes cited Ambassador Gerard's
book as declaring that the kaiser
never would have let war loose IL
he had known that England would
intervene, and continued.
Lloyd Georges refusal to prose-
cute the kaiser leaves the supposi-
tion that the emperor had proof
that not he alone was responsible"
Such words as these" said
Speaker Peret, cannot be pro-
nounced from this tribune in the

HOUSE COMMITTEE
URGES PASSAGE
OF SWEET BILL
M e a sure Provides for
Union of Soldier Re
J lief Agencies.

The house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce. voted
yesterday to urge prompt passage
of the Sweet bill designed to carry
sut the recommendations Of the
Dawes commission for the CONSOLE
dation of the various governmental
agencies having to do with soldiers
relief.
The bill probably will be brought
up in the house at an early date
and its passage is regarded as q
foresone conclusion. Meanwhile the
senate is going ahead with the
Kenyon bill. indorsed by the admin
istration, creating department
of public welfare under which all
the various agencies dealing with
world war veterans would be con-
solidated.
Bills Are Similar.
That part of the Kenyon bill
which deals with soldier relief Is
much the anne as the provisions of
the, Sweet bill so that there is little
SndnCe OF ITlCllOn between the TWO
houses over the measure.
Neither the house nor the senate
bills contemplates the creation of a
a director responsible directly to
the the President This was one
of the recommendations most en-
phasized by the Dawes commission
The house bill would place the vet
eran bureau under the treasury de-
partment, while the senate bill
would place it under the proposed
new department of public welfare
Provides for Director.
The bill as repbrted to the house
by Sweet. of Iowa. establishes in
the treasury department, a veterans
bureau, to be in charge of a direc-
tor at an annual salary of $4,000
who shall be an assistant secretary
of the treasury. in addition to those
assistant secretaries already pro-
vided for by law.
1t transfers all of the activities
of the bureau of war risk insurance
to The new veterans bureau and
also establishes the office of direc-
tor of the bureau of war risk in
sursnce.
Under the next section of the
measure those activities of the fed
eral board for vocational training
that have to do with vocational re-
habilitation of the former service
men and women, are also trans
ferred to the veterans bureau.
