ALLIES NOT TO
SEND FORCE TO
UPPER SILESIA
France and England
Agree Upon Par
tition.


ated Press. THE Allied supreme
council decided today NOT to send
reinforcements for the Allied troops
in Upper Silesia.
When the question came up as
to the sending of additional French
troops as reinforcements, the Brit
ish delegation voted against such
action.
Premier BRAND of France and
Mr.. Lloyd George, prime minister
of England, have decided at a pri-
vate meeting upon a compromise
partition of Upper Silesia, it was
declared here today on good auth
ority
The compromise boundary line Is
understood TO have been drawn ap-
proximately as follows:
Beginning west of Pless on the
Vistula river, and running west of
Gleiwitz, west of Tost, and Gross
Strehlitz north to between Roseu-
berg and Kreuzberg, and thence 10
the frontier of northern Upper Sill
esia-
LerOnd Explains.
General Lerond, head of the il
ter-allied commission for Upper Sill
esia, appeared before the supreme
Allied council here today to ex-
plain events leading up to the Koc-
fantry insurrection there last
spring. He was bitterly attacked
by Germany for his alleged fail
ure to foresee the attempt by the
Poles to take over a large part OF
the Upper Silesian plebiscite area
and there were hints that he did
not take proper measures to meet
the situation when it developed
The presence of George Harvey
| tthe United States ambassador to
Great Britain, has led to sugges-
tions in unofficial quarters that he
might play a definite role in set
Ting the vexing Silesian question.
Brigadier General H. T. Allen
commander-in-ch of the Amer;-
can army of occupation, was called
| before the supreme council immedI-
ately after it opened this morning
session. When General Allen arriv-
| ed in Paris, it was understood thai
he had come to consult with Am
bassador Harvey on the subject ot
the cost of maintaining American
| troops in Germany.
Represents Vote.
The new line approved by the
premiers is accepted in principle as
more nearly representing the real
meaning of the plebiscite vote thar
anything previously proposed. The
division also splits the disputed
Austrian district
At the opening of the session
Lloyd George took occasion to de-
clare the position of the British
government on what he called the
menacing problem to the peace Of
Europe. Silesia, he said. had be
longed to the German race for 70(
years a part of that period to Aus
tria, but for 1T years to Prussia
and the British government con
sent to any division not basec
equitably on the votes of the Pole:
and the Germans in the disputed
region.
Discussing the future security o
France, the British prime ministeI
in substance said the British gov
ernment keenly sympathized will
the French desire for safety, know
ing what France had suffered il
two wars. That security, however
he declared, ought to rest on thu
moderation with which the yictor
used their power, and on equity il
apportioning Silesia. The British
empire, the prime minister declar
ed, would never be dragged int
another war caused by the oppres
sive use of superior force or tn
abuse of justice in time of tri
umph.
