WASHINGTON, May 13- Attacks
on the appropriations in the half bill
lion dollars naval appropriations bill
were renewed today by Senator Borah,
Republican, Idaho, who challenged in
creases made by the senate naval
committee, aggregating s1oo,0oo.0oo
over house provisions of $396,o00,0O0
or almost three times the pre- war
naval budget, he said.
Including the immediate appropria-
tions and future commitments, Sena-
tor Borah said the bill really called
for about $650,000,000.
Asserting that the Japanese navy
had only $4,000 to $4,000 men and the
British about 100000 with more ships
and a larger service to be performed,
Senator Borah said it appeared that
the personnel of 10000 men for the
American navy, proposed by the SEN

to keep naval ships ION parade rather
than to save money for American tax

GERMANS TO BEGIN
OFFENSIVE IN WEEK,
REPORT IN S|LESIk
(By Associated Press)

OPPELN, Silesia. May 13.-German
forces on the left bank of the Oder
river are being gradually augmented
by the arrival of former German sol
diers from Bresslau, and a number, it
is known are coming from Germany.
Several hundred security police from
Hamburg and Kiel, and a few from
other German cities have reached
Brieg, 20 miles northwest of here, and
are authoritively reported to have
placed themselves at the disposal of
the German authorities there.
There are rumors here that the Ger
mans will take the offensive probably
within a week when their prepara-
tions are complete.
The Poles in the meantime, are
known to be strengthe ening their posi-
tions with artillery. although they are
not advancing. French sources de-
clare that Adalbert Korfanty, leader
of the Polish insurrection. has heed

the first time, snd suspended his Of

Deprecate Statements
The French deprecate statements
published by the Poles that the allies
have accepted the present battle lines
as the new frontier between Germany
and Poland. They declare these state

ulation, making re-establishment of
order more difficult
A German counter offensive, it is
believed, cannot be prevented unllss

leaders that if the Poles are permit
