GERMANS YIELD

Note Agreeing Internationally
b to All Demands Is Sent

REICHSTAG ACCEPTS
BY VOTE OF 221 TO IT'S
Another Allied Crisis Looms Up
} After Killing of Italians
in Upper Silesia
(By United Press)

Berlin, May 11.-(By Carl D..
Groat)-Germany finally yielded to
the allies today. With the cabinet
chosen especially to accept the allied
ultimatum, Chancellor Wirth today
sent to London, Paris and Rome a
note agreeing Internationally to all
demands. The note was handed to
the allied ambassadors here also. (
Events shaped themselves rapidly
as the majority of the socialists, dem
ocrats and centrist leaders decidedAthe
ultimatum must be accepted. DR..
Wirth, former minister of finance,
succeeded in forming a coalition cabi-
net from the three parties. Wirth I'M
mediately went before the reichstag
recommending that the ultimatum be
accepted. The reichstag accepted the
ultimatum by a vote of 221 to ITS,
many of the opposing parties voting
for the action.
Telephone messages to the foreign
office today declared the Polish forces
have launched a heavy attack on West
Oder. The towns Of Ratibor and
Kosel were said to be threatened.
Another allied crisis doomed today,
enflamed by the killing of Italian sol
diers by Polish insurgents in Upper
Silesia. The Roman press voiced a
growing demand that Italy require
immediate satisfaction from; the Po-
lish government. Addressing Pre-
mier.; Giolitti, newspapers demanded
he ignore the ambassadors council
and allied supreme council by going
direct to Warsaw.

Washington, May 1.-THE senate

measure would pass 1t has already

ference as soon as the senate disposes
Of it,. In. spite of virtual certainty
that the hill would get enough votes
to pass, chances of final enactment

many members of Congress. Repre-
sentatives, some Of whom We're to
vote for it today, are ready to wager
it will never become a law.
Washington, May 11.-Republican
leaders, in the senate professed little
interest today in the LaFollette reso-
luton pertaining to participation by
the United States in the allied treaty
councils. They said it would never
come to a, vote in the senate and was
introduced merely as a basis, for a
speech. LaFollette did not have his
resolution referred to- the foreign re-
lations committee. He can call it up
in the senate today or to any leader.
He is preparing speech on it and
that may give rise for some discus
sion on Harding's acceptance OF the
allied invitation in regard to enter
ing the allied councils.

BUILDING OF HOMES IS ....
ONLY SLIGHTLY AFFECTED
Strikes and Lockoutss in Build
ing Trades Not Holding Up
Home Construction

In many of the larger cities, such
as Chicago, interest is conferred in
the. labor situation. While strikes
and lookouts are rather numerous,
they seem to have affected very little
the volume Of home building and as
in homes is found the greatest mar
ket for lumber, the lumber market in
all probability, will not be very, much
affected, says the American Lumber
man of Chicago. In fact, building
of individual homes is being pressed
faster than ever in Chicago and the
Indications are that the demand for
lumber is in for a steady increase.
The people are hungry for homes
and, Furthermore, a large number of
them are able to pay for their homes
at THIS time. For example, at q
recent Gown Your Own Home Show
one salesman secured from one group
Of people $4,000 with which to pay
for homes A real estate firm sold
over $4,000 worth of lots at this
show. The fact Is that wherever the
lumbermen and other business men
are seeking to stimulate. home build
ing they are finding their business
good. That more and more COM
panies are following this policy Dis
demonstrated by the ever-mounting
volume of orders received from retail
lumbermen by the lumber manufac-
turers, even though the volume of
buying is not up to- normal, but Is
much heavier than a month ago.
In the softwood end of the indus
try the leaders are southern piue and
Douglas fir, with the southern pine
market showing the greatest activity
Actually the total volume of sales of
southern pine and Douglas fir are
about the same, but as, retailers are
in a hurry in many cases to replace
badly broken stocks, they are turn
ing to the nearest district, which, in
many cases happens to he the south
ern pine district, and requesting i'm
mediate shipment.
The demand for hardwood lumber
is improving also and the better
grades are becoming quite scarce.
Prices show Il t1rmer tendency and
here and there advances have been
noted. A significant feature of the
situation is the constantly decreas-
ing stocks in retail yards and in large
factory yards, these having been buy
ling only from hand to, mouth for
months while working off stocks on
hand. With stocks everywhere in
this depleted condition, it may read
lily be seen that 1T will not require a
heavy demand to bring about a
scramble for lumber. :s-~..
