 With what we like to consider the
 true American spirit, the people of
 Pueblo already are at work restoring
 their city after the devastating flood
 that swept through that part of Colo
 rado. The National Guard is policing
 the area of destruction, which en-
 braces about 296 square miles, and all
 week supplies of food and clothing
 were being rushed in by all possible means of conveyance. It is not likely
 the number of dead ever will be known
 accurately, but it prODably reached
 800. In addition to the immense prop erty damage in Pueblo and other towns, much of the crops and the live stock in the flood area was destroyed. Fears of an epidemic due to the utter ly disorganized sanitation of the re- zion were allayed by the prompt work of the medical corps. The American Red Cross has undertaken the com plete rehabilitation of the food stricken sections, and 1t has issued national appeal for funds that is meeting with the generous response always given in such instances. The railways, of course, are carrying the relief supplies free.
 The British troops in Upper Silesia are making quick work of pushing the insurgent Poles back out of the dis puted region and, according to re- ports, they are doing it without any fighting, for Korfanty's men know re- sistance would be worse than useless. The French are looking on, hoping that the interests of the Poles, with whom they sympathize, will not suf- fer. Meanwhile the German defense forces, which are under the command of General von Hoefer, have ceased their advance in one sector, but have kept going forward in another, taking Slaventitz, Kandrzin and Ujest after bloody fights with the Poles and ap- preaching close to Gleiwitz, which is called the key to industrial Upper Si- lesia. Gross Strehlitz, which Is held by a French garrison. was surrounded by the Germans on three sides.
 After the German high court had convicted two minor defendants of cruelty to British prisoners during the war and given them jail sentences, 1t took up the case of Submarine Com mander Neumann, accused of sinking the British hospital ship Dover Cas- tie. On his plea that he was merely obeying the order of his superiors he was acquitted, and consequently, 1t Is now reported, the court intends to bring to trial the admiralty chief or chiefs who gave the orders to Neu- mann and the other submarine con- manders whose cases are pending.
 The allied council of ambassadors has sent to Berlin letter taking cog nizance of the "good will of the Ger man government in its efforts to full | fill it's undertakings under the peace treaty, and granting delay until September 30 for the transformation | of the Diesel submarine motors to civilian industry. From Munich came | the word that the Bavarian citizens | guard has decided to disarm voluntar- fly by June 30, in compliance with the | ultimatum of the allies. This relieves | Berlin of one great worry,
 The new parliament of northern Ire l land-or Ulster-met in Belfast on Tuesday and was formally organized. | Mai, Hugh O'Neill, descendant of the | famous O'Neills of Irish history, was | elected speaker and six of Ireland's l thirty-two counties were put on a self | governing basis. Viscount F1tzalan, | the British viceroy and a Catholic. | opened the proceedings. Of the 52 | members elected 40 were present. The | others are nationalists and Sim Fein- | CTS. who refuse to recognize the par tition of Ireland and who will sit on | Dali Eireann, the revolutionary par liament which claims to represent all of the Emerald Isle. The experiment | of the British government in thus di- viding Ireland will be watched with intense interest by the world.
 Bands of men supposed to be Sim Feiners made bold and ingenious at tempt Wednesday night to isolate London by cutting all the telegraph and telephone wires running out of the city. They succeeded to a consid- erable extent similar attempt was made in Liverpool.
