There is a city ordinance which
requires that all milk sold within

milk dealer who spends a consid-
cradle amount OF money each year
in pasteurization of milk sold by
him has filed complaint that other
distributors are being allowed 10
sell raw milk, which at present
prices leaves a large margin Of
profit.
The pasteuriZation Of milk sold
in the city has been demanded IN
der the city ordinance as a health
measure. City officials announced
that they had previously believed
that this ordinance was being obey
ed, and were surprised TO hear tie
charges that there are many viola

becoming even more bitter as the cleo

wounded.
At CittadelIa, near Padua, the Fas-
nisti in avenging a Communist assault
attempted TO destroy the labor head
quarters. All the attacking party, how
ever. were arrested and imprisoned.
When this news reached the Fascist
headuuarters in Padua several hundred
members Of the organization went to

which some OF the arrested men had
been placed and overcame the carani-

itiatod by Korfanty, with the object of
joining the Industrial section of Upper
Silesia to Poland.
The Cabinet has issued a statement
to the effect that while the Ministry
thoroughly understood the patriotic mo-
tive which led to the spontaneous out
break throughout the mining districts.
the Government again disapproved or
the insurrection and considered the
movement a vain attempt 10 attain the
desired end under present circumstances.
The Government, according to diplo-
matte circles, is contemplating framing
an appeal to the Silesians to drop their
arms and return to work and permit
the allied authorities to settle the dis
pute, without further interference, in
accordance with the Treaty of Versailles.
One of the problems s,oIand Is COM
PEELED to face is the repeated efforts of
Poles to go to the assistance of the in
surgents. Dispatches received to-day
report that 10000 armed workmen from
the Dombrowa- -Sosnowice mining dis
trict in east Silesia have attempted to
cross the frontier to assist the insur-
gents. but all were turned back by the
Polish authorities.
Despite the efforts of the Government
to soothe public opinion while the fight
ing continues, demonstrations are being
held daily in Warsaw by the Labor par
ties, consisting of street parades and
speechmaking, urging the continuance of
the struggle for deliverance from Ger
man rule of the Polish workmen of Up
per Silesia and pledging to fight until
the end.
Repeated demonstrations have oc-
Cured before the British and Italian
legations. There is noticeable in
crease in the press and public speeches
of the feeling against Italian interfer-
ence between the insurgents and the
Gern1aus

Diplomats Say 1t Removes
Misunderstondings.

Nt@eNNfNN'NN
WASHINGTON, May s.--Acceptance by
the United States of the invitation TO
have representation on the council $
dealing with world economic settlements
is regarded by some diplomatsts here as
strengthening the hand of the Allies in
their dealings with Germany. They also
look upon it as having cleared away
much of any doubt that may have eS-
ist~d as to the attitude of the United
States.
President Harding in his message TO
Premier Lloyd George. these diplomat
lists say, made ii clear that the Admin
istration, while restating its determina-
tion to abstain from participation In
purely European affairs. proposes that
the United States lend it's counsel and
aid In effecting the readjustments grow
ing out OF the common victory over the
former Central Powers.
The presence of American representa-
tives on the Supreme Council. the con-
ference Of Ambassadors and the Repara-
lions Commission, they believe. will IA
cilitate the settlements, and at the same
time. aid in clearing away any misun-
dcrstandings which have arisen between
the United States and the Allies with
regard to some of the settlements, such
as mandates.
AS these diplomatists view il. the sit
uation is clea rer than it has been at any
time since the Senate failed to ratify the
Treaty OF Versailles The allied govern
r,rnts are known to have taken the posi-
ton that an attitude OF extreme aloof-
ness by the United States would give
encouragement to Germany in resisting
the demands made upon her They also
are understood to have held that the
mere refusal of the United States TO
ira nsmit Germany's counter proposals
on X 1arations did not quite meet the
situation that had arisen

1T is not conceivable that We can
in any way interfere with the disputes
Without involving ourselves therein. In
a word. the action taken will inevitably
involved US in participation In matters
OF distinctly European concern This Is
exactly what the President states we
viii not do. and yet unless We do that
very thing we will do nothing. Indeed,
the Invitation of the Allies was in these
words: 4 am authorized. with the con-
currence OF all the Powers here repre-
sented. TO express to the United States
our feeling that the settlement of inter-
national difficulties in which the world
Ia still involved would be materially as
sisted by the cooperation OF the United
States

settlement Of these difficulties We ac-
cept the invitation to rake part in the
settlement OF the international difficult
ties How can we assist in the settle
ment OF international difficulties without
we take part in the settlement? That Is
10 say. we embroil and mix ourselves IN
all Of the European difficulties.
There is but one plain course OF duty
for the United States if the mandate OF
the American people. delivered at the
last election. is obeyed. and that is to
get out of European difficulties and con-
troversies of every kind and to keep out

deba ting the advisability of using food
in their negotiations and with which to
buy the return of German hostages.
DR.. Urbanek, German High Com
missioner, is preparing note to present
TO the Allies i'm which he will try to show
that the French here abetted the up
rising by not keeping more than cam
outage frontier guard and by failing TO
take any steps calculated to discourage
the movement He says that when the
insurgents entered Beuthen they struck
people with the butts OF their guns in
fighting the crowds without interfer-
ence from French troops who We're only
q few yards away The French did not
undertake TO disarm the insurgents ana
even saluted them. French troops. ne
says, were sent out from Beuthen on
punitive expedition TO revenge the mur-
uer OF a German and succeeded in over
taking thirty armed insurgents.
He also charges that truck loads of
arms are driven past French patrols and
on the frontier three truck loads or IN
surgent troops were seen to cross the
frontier, passing French sentries with
out a challenge

nays that he viii produce evidence that
Korfanty organized the uprising and
talked it over with the Warsaw Gov
ernment.
The Poles are now in control of the
main lines of communication, so the
French and British cannot telephone
without speaking over wires in charge
of insurgents. Interallied authority is
weak. Eorfanty regards his military
position as unassalabe. and many Ger
man experts share this opinion.
There was desultory fighting in Beu-
then yesterday, the insurgents pressing
IN from the suburbs and firing through
the streets. They caught pedestrians
by surprise. and the parks where women
and children were enjoying the spring

PARIS. May S.-There was consider
able disorder to-day in Paris and in
other places during the celebration of
the anniversary OF the lifting of the
Siege Of Orleans by Joan of Arc in 1429.
Fourteen policemen and twenty-three
Communists were wounded, and many
arrests were made when Communists
tried TO enter the gates of Paris in pro-
test against the celebration. There was
hand to hand lighting between the DEM
onstrators and mounted guards who
barred the way OF the Communists. The
disorder continued for several hours, dur
ing which time there was considerable
shooting and hurting of missiles from
the walls of the Notifications.
Disturbances also took place at Brest
ST. Etienne and Limoges. In the latter
city Deputy Mayor Betoulle led a red
flag parade of several thousand persons.
The Governments efforts to arrange
celebrations met with opposition every
where. A number of cities refused to
stand the expense. while at other places
