NEWS REVIEW OF

Upper Silesia Row Threatens
Break Between France and
the Other Allies.
LLOYD GEORGE VS.. BRAND
United States VIII Take No Hand In
the Dispute-AdminIstr Drops
Fight on Borah's Naval Reduc-
ton Plan-RaiIway Wage
Cut Coming.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Upper Silesia threatens to become
a wedge to split the entente alliance.
The Poles, slowing up in their insur-
and have asked at least the moral sup
port Of America. The British, as rep
resented by their government, are
thoroughly disgusted with the Poles
and resent the attitude and actions of
the French. France practically unan-
imously stands back of the Poles and
promises to ''go it alone" if necessary.
Italy and Japan are said to side with
the British, and America will not, for
the present, mix in the imbroglio at
all.
Premier Lloyd George probably has
been talking too much-a fault of his
which has been in evidence before.
First he told the house of commons
that Poland was in the wrong, that it
was up to the allied plebiscite forces,
which are mighty weak, to restore or
der In Upper Silesia and put the Poles
back where he. thinks they belong, and
that If they could not do it, fairness
demanded that the Germans be per-
mitted to do it. He also sent to Paris
note severely criticising the action
Of the French troops in Upper Silesia
and declaring the French government
was supporting Korfanty in his rebel
lion.
Premier BRAND and the press Of
Paris responded with bitter attacks on
the course being pursued by Great
Britain, and it was declared France
never would recognize the alleged
promise made by the British to Ger
many, that she should have Upper ST.
lesia in ret1rS for acceptance of the
reparatiOns ultimatum. Though the
SSsaf plebiscite vote in the zone was
IN favor Of Germany, certain Of the
districts voted for union with Poland.
and the French claim these should go
to Poland in accordance with the
treaty of Versailles. In fact both
sides to the controversy assert that
that treaty must be carried out, but
apparently they interpret it different
ly. The French say order could have
been maintained easily if Great Brit
ain had not withdrawn her part Of the
occupational force, and that her ex-
cuse that the troops were needed at
home is insufficient. The opposition
press in England admits the truth Of
this.
Mr.. Lloyd George reinforced his
statements by further assertion that
he would not accept the French con-
tentions, and he spoke with biting
sarcasm Of the attitude of the French
press. The editors of Paris, indeed,
are saying some very unpleasant
things about the British prime minis
ter and his government. One of them
prints an account of alleged intrigues
with Berlin concerning the ultimatum,
designed to give the British complete
control Of the economic situation in
Europe, and another accuses Lloyd
George of thinking he can continue to
dictate laws for the continent. HE
forgets," says this editor, "that the
French army is available for backing
Frances word. whereas England is
represented in Europe only by Mr..
Lloyd Georges speeches"

Early last week it became apparent
that the administration had virtually
abandoned its fight against Senator
Borah's amendment to the pending
naval appropriation bill, which requests
the President to enter into negotia-
tions with Great Britain and Japan
for an agreement to curtail naval
building. Maybe Mr.. Harding's
change of attitude was forced, for test
votes In the senate on Wednesday
showed the opponents Of the naval
affairs committees program were nu-
merous enough to do about as they
pleased. The opposition included sew
eral insurgent Republican senators
and all the Democrats. Senator Poin-
dexter, chairman, already had written
to the President informing him of the
situation, stating that many of the
Administrators strongest supporters
would be embarrassed If called on to
vote against the Borah amendment,
which they had advocated in the last
hours of the Wilson administration.
He did not tell what the President
replied, but said: 81 have received
nothing indicating any need for max
ing a point of order against or oppos-
ing the Borah amendment, which is
the same as the one adopted in the
last congress. 1 am heartily in favor
of an international limitation of arm
aments upon a basis doing justice to
the United States and not imperiling
our national safety"
The bill as adopted by the naval
committee calls for the outlay Of $780,
100000 for the navy next year. The
insurgents and Democrats succeeded

Continuing its hearings on the Vol
stead bill to make the prohibition en-
forcement law more drastic, the house
judiciary committee did not find any
friends Of beer or the medical boot
logger. Manufacturers Of favoring
extracts, patent medicines and per-
fumes, in protesting against added re-
strictions, were outspoken in opposi-
ton TO medical beer and the sale of
concoctions, masquerading as medi.
cine. Chemists appeared before the
committee and protested vigorously
against legislation which, they be-
lieved. would tend to restrict the legiti-
mate use Of alcohol In industry.
Representative Ryan of New York
has introduced In the house a bill
which would permit the sale Of per

disputes filed prior to April Is, and
this will set the standard for all fu-

President Cleveland appointed him to
the Supreme court bench, and Presi'
