With this he rode on slightly ahead,
and presently put his horse at a gen

as they neared the place where the
black men ambushed. Every man Of
the group behaved well. None showed
nervousness, even when one of the
horses, conscious OF hidden Maroons
in the wood, gave a snort and made a
sharp movement out of the track In
an attempt to get greater speed.

AGAIN DENY
PARIS S|LES|A PLEA
French lnsistence on Sending
Re-enforcements Causes
Surprise and Anxiety
BERLIN TO ACCEPT RULING
BY the Associated Press

London, July 2S.-The latest French
communication insisting that more
troops be sent into Upper Silesia i'm
mediately, which came as a surprise to
official circles in London. Ia understood
to have been the subject OF an important
conference in Downing street this
morning, at which Prime Minister
Lloyd George, the Dominion Premiers
and several members of the Cabinet
were present.
It was stated in political quarters
that the insistence of France had caused
some anxiety in Downing street. After
the meeting 1t was announced that Lord
Curzon. Foreign Minister, would see
NJ. de st. Aulaire, the French Ambas-
sador, this afternoon. and that the
meeting Of the Allied Supreme Council
might be delayed again.
As result Of Lord Curzon's meet
ing with NJ. de st. Aulaire, 1t Is under
stood Lord Curzon will send reply to
Premier BRAND, reafhrming the view
that the situation In Upper Silesia does
not justify the sending Of more troops
at the moment and urging the desir-
ability Of meeting of the Supreme
Council Mt an early date to deal with
the report of the allied commissioners.
The French Government. in the COM
munication handed Lord Curzon by NJ.
de st. Aulairc last night, snid 1t deemed
ii impossible to decide on meeting Of
the council until the question Of send
ing re- endorsements had been decided.
Germany will abide by the decision Of
the Supreme Council relative to the
question of the transportation of
French division across Germany to re-
enforce the troops in Sicsia, according
TO information available here today.
The German Foreign Minister, DR..
Rosen. informed the French Ambas-
sador In Berlin last night to this effect,
Gcrmany's position being stated in
note handed to the Ambassador.
Paris, July 2s.-(By A. P.)-Rela-
tions OF Myroh T. Herrick, the Amer
ican Ambassador, with the other diplo-
mats in Paris thus far have been almost
entirely social, and as yet he has had
nothing to do with either the Silesian
question or the Forthcoming conference
on disarmament in the absence of in
structions one way or the other. Mr..
Herrick met Premier BRAND yesterday
just as the Premier was leaving the
council of ambassadors, but the con-
versation consisted of only few words
of greeting.
A Paris dispatch last night quoted
the Journal as saying Mr.. Herrick had
an interview with Premier BRAND.
largely taken up with the question Of
Upper Silesia.
