after having conferred with NJ. BRAND
in Paris. a semi Official denial has been
issued of the rumors current in the
French press that Lord d'Abernon, the
British Ambassador at Berlin, had
promised Upper Silesia to Germany on
condition of her fulfillment Of the
terms OF the Allied ultimatum. What
IN the opinion of the ambassador, held
out hope TO Germany was that fulfill
ment would mean withdrawal of the
Allied troops from Ruhrot and Dassei-
dorf and the resembling Of the other
penalties.
The excitement caused in Paris
seems to have been due 70 the idea
that Mr.. Lloyd George had advocated
the sending of troops by Germany TO
Cpner Silesia, whereas the Prime Min
iSter only contended that if the Allies
themselves we're unable to restore order
they should not prevent Germany from
intervening.
The Times in an editorial, under the
caption "The Return of Good Will"
alludes to this misunderstanding, and
says: "The marked subsidence of the
excitement of the French press will be
noted here with relief and grstifca-
tion. II seems to have been attributa-
BILE partly TO defective reports of Mr.,
Lloyd Georges speech, hastily circu-
lated in London and telegraphed
abroad
Paris Comment Deprecated
Indignant comments of the French
press regarding Premier Lloyd Georges
speech before the House of Commons
Friday attracted attention from London
newspapers day. Fer the most part
they were regretted and deprecated,
although in quarters where lloyd
Georges attitude relative to Poland is
condemned blame was placed upon him.
The Daily Telegraph, which declared
'the British nation is solid behind the
Premier in this matter" commended M.
BRAND, pointing out that Lloyd

urging authorization of the occupation
Of Upper Silesia by German troops.
"The lack of restraint displayed only

The Daily News contended that when
the Supreme Council meets, "as it must
promptly meet to discuss Silesia," the
problem would be made much simpler

the views of the British Cabinet"
The Daily Express said: "The at

King Albert Declares Senti-

LILLE, France, May 16.-With Ger
many still dlsclaiming responsibility
for the war which brought so much
suffering to France and Belgium, there
is no other course than to deal with
her as one who must be compelled %
make good her misdeeds, declared Pres
ident Millerand in an address delivered
to-day In the presence of Albert, King
of the Belgians, at banquet rendered
the King and the French President by
the Chamber of Commerce of Lille,
After recalling the tragic incidents Of
the suffering endured by the popula-
ton of Lille during the four years of
the German occupation, President
Millerand said:
"If the citizens Of Lille and of north
ern France and Belgium are too gem
erous to claim revenge, they neverthe-
less, In accord with the remainder of
the people of France and the Allies, de-
mand justice against the government
and the nation which brought on the
war, and which, throughout the hostili-
ties, and without military necessities,
pursued o systematic course Of ruin
and devastation toward the mines and
industries, employing pillage and arson
as a means Of insuring their own in
dustrial and economic ascendanGy upon
the coming of peace.
German Denials Condemned
"As long as Germany, against all the
evidence, continues through her public
mon to deny her responsibility. which
her plenipotentiaries acknowledged at
Versailles, and which only the other

bition other than to assure to future
generations liberty, fraternity and
peace, In which individual happiness
shall be the fruit of disinterested de-
votion to the right and the ideal"
Replying to President Millerand,
King Albert dwelt upon the sympathies
between the two nations.
King Echoes Sentiment
"Your words will find among my
eompatriots in Belgium a sympathetic
echo" he said "They know the senti-
ments OF France toward them, and they
see in France an allied, friendly nation,
as faithful to her friendships as to her
traditions Of genius and herosm."
During his meeting with King Albert
President Millerand opened an exhihi-
tion of social welfare work. He inspected
the American Red Gross and compli-
mented Lieutenant Colonel Robert L.
Olds, Of St. Paul, Mimi, Red Cross
Commissioner for Europe, and also the
American nurses. He thanked them for
what they were doing for the benefit
of maternity and childhood in the dew
astated industrial districts of North
ern France.

Prosecutor Acquitted in
Saratoga Gambling Case
Jury Finds No Grounds for
Neglect of Duty Charges
Against Andrus

BALLsToN SPA, N. Y, May 1s.-
District Attorney Charles D. Andrus
of Saratoga County was acquitted by a
jury here tonight of charge of neg
lect of duty, which was preferred be-
cause of his alleged failure to stop
gambling in Saratoga Springs.
The jury deliberated less than ten
minutes. There was a demonstration
in the court room when the verdict was
announced, and one spectator was
brought before the bar and reprimand-
ed by Justice Borst.
District Attorney Andrus was indict-
ed as result Of the State ATTORNEY
Generals Investigation into vice condi-
tions in Saratoga County. Three other
indictments, charging bribery, conspir-
acy and grand larceny, are still pending
against him.

Early this month n conference &C

Of their respective sections Of opinion
in ireland talked over the situation.
The meeting was said to have been
without tangible results, but the fact
that it was held was com mmented upon
in Dublin Castle and other circles as
hopeful sign. Expressions Of will
ineness on the part of British govern
ment leaders to meet Irish Repub-
lican Representatives have hitherto
usually been coupled with conditions,
notably as TO the cessation Of hostiE-
tics in ireland ard with regard TO the
personality of the delegates, persons
under the British government ban
being barred.
BELFAST, May IS (By The Associat-
ed Press) Lord Hugh Cecil, member
of the Privy Council Of England, who
g. the guest of Lord Londonderry s
family in Mount Stewart, County Down,
has suggested scheme by which Ire
land would be made an Independent
kingdom, its king to be member Of
the Windsor family, probably the
Prince Of Wales, to be appointed by the
King of England
Under the proposal there would be
two small parlam ents, one to be To-
Gated in Belfast and the other in Dub
lin, and, in addition, a "House of Es-
tates" Of one hundred members. Com
plete fiscal autonomy would be given
Ireland, but there would be levy i'm
posed for imperial defense in proper
ton 10 the sum contributed by England
for that purpose.
ireland, under the plan, would be al
lowed to have an army, but no navy,
snd in the event of war the King of
England could suspend the Irish CON
stitution. Irishmen in the colonies
would have the right to choose whether
they should be subjects of tie Irish or
English king. IF favorably received by
the Irish leaders the suggestion would
be submitted TO constituent assembly.
Some of the southern Irish leaders,
including John Dillon, to whom tho
scheme was outlined described it as
"preposterous." Lord Hugh Cecil III
discussing it said h. still favored
union, but as that no longer was prac-
teal politics and federalism did not
tinct nationality, England must go as
far in the direction they wanted as
possible. Whatever plan was proposed,
he declared, must be one framed and
approved by the Irish, but also ac-
ceptable to the British. Lord Hugh
then outlined his plan, adding: II
write this in no spirit of optimism"
The significance of Lord Hugh's pro-
posal comes from the fact that he is
the guest of the Londonderry family,
the greatest member of which was
Lord Castlereagh, to whom more than
to anybody else the breaking up Of
Henry Grattan's Irish Parliament and
the passing of the act of union in 1905
were due.

effect that there are grave neglect and
ill treatment or sick and wounded SOL
diars in hospitals in massachusetts, and
elsewhere, and grave shortcomings in
respect to disqualification for the sol
diets by the Federal government. He
pointed out that tho charges of Sena-
tor Walsh had not been rafuted on the
floor OF the Senate or elsewhere. He
denounced the passage Of $500,000.000
naval bill under such circumstances.
He declared other things are now being
put ahead of legislation tor the relief
Of the soldiers.
"Men are housed in places unfit for
ailing animals he declared.
He criticized the policy of passing
this large naval bill ain the face of
partment that the taxable resources of
the country are practically exhausted"
He declared the Finance Committee
was paving the way to repeal the ex-
cess profits tax and surtaXes on large
incomes, and strong effort was being
made under the leadership OF Senator
Smoot foi y turnover tax.
All of this, lie said, was to the end
that the tax burdens of the country
might be imposed as far as possible
on "the hewers Of wood and tae car
riers of water"
Would Aid Veterans First
Senator La Toilette served notice he
would offer an amendment to the naval
bill to take care Of the wounded and
sick soldiers before providing for bat
tleships.
He said he purposed to see that the
facts got to the country with regard
to the pending bill and the eXpendi-
lures involved in the naval program.
He quoted Senator King, of Utah, as
saying in a minority report from the
Naval Affairs Committee that it would
cost a billion and a half dollars to
complete the 1915 program, additional
to the $538,000,000 already appropri-
ated.
Senator La Toilette analyzed the ma
val building program and sought to
impress on Senators that the actual
construction was only small part of
the expense. He told Senators they
were to be drawn in" to still bigger
expenditures.
He asserted that in all the parlia
ments of the world it could be shown
there was direct connection between
men who uphold the outlay Of vast
sums for armament and the armament
makers. He thought the people of this
country would draw their conclusion
from this fact.
The Wisconsin Senator favored SEN
ator Kings plan Of hating construc-
tion on half a dozen of the capital
ships and the construction instead of
more aircraft and more submarines.
