EVENTS oFs A WEEK.
While the silesian situation continues to be watched
with interest and no little anxiety, recent developments
shave tended to strengthen the feeling of confidence that
8 solution would be reached without involving Europe
IN another disastrous war. The situation has been COM
Nplicateds by tn. fact that the disturbances in Upper ST.
lesa have originated. at least ostensibly, with local
groups Of Poles and Germans respectively, ana both
the German and Polish governments have maintained
that as the acts committed were out Of their jurisdiction
and beyond their control. they could not be held re-
ssponsible for them. Recently General Won Hofer, the
somcer In charge OF the German military movements in
! Silesta has assured the Allied council that he would at
! tempt no further advance into the disputed territory.
! and his attitude has done much to relieve the tension.
Z In view of the complications, however, the meeting of
sthe supreme council has been postponed for a time, I'M
til something more definite can be developed out Of the
- slesian situation.
! The Ulster parliament convened according to pro-
!. gram an Tuesday. an ! was organized a. had been fore
!. cast, with Sir James Craig as premier. The Sim Fen
: minority failed TO put in an appearance. this also hav-
ing been anticipated. Within a few days the time viii
: have arrived for the south of Ireland parliament to con-
svene. and, as all the members elected to that body are
q Sim Feiners. there will be no meeting OF that body.

The Irish question comes again before congress in
connection with remarks said to have been made by Adj
Sanlira1 Sims in a recent London address, In that speech
athe admiral is quoted as criticixng severely those re-
Ssponaible for pro- Irish agitation in the United States,
and an investigation has been called for. In still anoth-
er field the Irish question comes to the front. At tho
Forthcoming convention of the American Federation Of
Labor at Denver resolutions are to be presented asking
sPrestdent Harding to urge upon congress the immediate

sdiate payment Of the American war loan to Great Brit
san. The trainers of the resolution appear to have
overlooked the fact that regardless Of any action which
wcongress may take. the acts which constitute real rec.
sogniton of a foreiga~nation are to be performed BY the
president. and by him alone. It is also a fact that Prea-
sSident Harding Is already on record as to the attitude
(which he thinks is proper for the United States in rea-
stion to Ireland.

"a Recosnition of the obreson government OF Mexioo
has been under diEcussion during the week. In thu
case, as in all others, the president is At Nberty to "recog-
..nize' the administration Of a foreign country by receiv-
ting the accredited representative of that administration
In the case of Mexico. however, there has been an OBJ
sstacte in the provisions of the Mexican constitution
which are held in Washington to be inconsistent with
5sthe security Of the rights Of Americans resident in Mex
sico or owning property there. It has been proposed
that this dihfculty be removed through the consumma
..tion Of q treaty in which these rights shall be recognized
sSuch q treaty has been drawn, but thus tar President
sObregon has not signed it, although the latest informa-
stton is that he may sign if some siisht notifications are
made.

.rnade by the railway labor board are to 60 into effect
ssAI1 the information that has come from the headquar-
tiers of the railway managers indicates a purpose on the
tpart of the owners to accept the awards and proceed
ssunder them, although the claim is made that the wage
reductions are Inadequate. No specific declaration OF
tspolicy has been made by the representatives Of the en-.
sployes. but there have been hints at the possibility OF q
strike. These have been given in statements by unior
heads In which 1t is stated that it will be for the ner

The reversal of the prosecution in the federal cas-
against Senator Eewberry has suspended the crinatna
s&aproceedinss against him for lavish and illegal campaign
Expenditures but this has not prevented the inveHisa.

cation 10 now in progress, and thus far there has beer
"a repetition of some of the testimony given in the tria
