The Supreme Council Meeting.

The allied supreme council meets
today in Paris. having been sum-
moned in session for the purpose OF
considering particularly the question
of Upper Silesia. Upon its action de-
pends in large measure the continuity
of the entente between England and
France. and upon that depends in
turn in some degree the peace of Eu-
rope.
England does not agree with France
as to the treatment of Poland in Upper
Silesia. France feels that Poland has
expressed a plain opinion. but it is
thought that the London government
is inclined 10 favor the German claim
rather than the Polish. Japan. it is
believed. will, through her representa-
tive, sustain the British position
1taly's inclination is not known. In
this situation the presence at the
board of the council of Ambassador
Harvey. representing the United
States. is of moment.
The issue at Paris is between. III
truth. the leaders of France and Eng
land, and their difference turns in
large degree upon their political neces
stiles. Lloyd George wants to mini
miZe the war frictions. BRAND wants
to press the punishment of Germany
as far as possible. Each has in MIND
the sentiment of his constituency. II
is intimated in some of the dispatches
that the British premier goes to Paris
prepared. if need arises. to declare d
dissolution of the partnership between
England and France. But it may ht
doubted if that need will arise or il
that measure step will be taken il
any case.
The Upper Silesian question is
more than a matter of territoria
ALLEGATION. 1t is much more thar
a question of national pride. It ir
wolves the ownership of some ot
the most valuable mining areas ir
Europe. and in turn the economical
stability of Germany or the establish
ment of Poland as an industrial indie
pendent. The plebiScite can be inter
preted as favoring one side or the
other. according as it is analyZed
Hence the uncertainty as to the out
come of the Paris meeting.
Prophecy is not in order in thi:
situa ton, but it may be held as n fair
ly safe belief that there will be no alb
solute break of the entente, and tha
the political differences of the tw'
premiers will be compromised in {
matter to maintain intact the splendit
unity that saved Europe from dis
aster in 1914 and during the following
years of war and adjustment.

Higher Collateral.

Change in the system of taking col
lateral from those arrested for speed
ing in the streets of Washington will
perhaps effect some betterment of
conditions. The minimum amount II
be taken at the station houses is $40
instead of s5. for speeds up to twenty
miles an hour. and $50 for higher
rates of speed. There is no mention in
the new order, just issued, of a pur'
pose to cause the rearrest of those
who forfeit collateral. So the amounts
taken at the station houses will stand
as fines if the defendants elect to for
felt rather than go to court. Unless
the deposit of the higher sums at the
stations causes the speeders to seek
court of their own volition in the hope
of getting their money back upon ac,
squittal there will be no increase in the
number of cases heard by the court,
which during May and June last tried

in that way qualified for the services
at present being requested of him.
Nevertheless. it is taxing to turn
from one such subject to another, and
proof of high capacity to obey the
calls and contribute to the composure
of snarls threatening party injury.

only per cent of all those who were
arrested on this charge.
1t remains now to be seen whether
the eXaction of the higher collaterals
will discourage speeding. A short time
should determine the fact. If there is
no material reduction in the number
of arrests for that offense it may be
assumed that the collateral system is
at fault regardless of the amount
taken. And in any case the collateral
taking, without attempt to compel at
tendance in court relieves the offender
of the possibility of Imprisonment,
which the law contemplates as al
tentative in the Judgment of the courk
The taking of collateral at the sta
tion houses. whatever the scale. is in
effect a shifting of the judicial func-
ton from the court, for the majority
Of those accused forfeit without
further penalty. The collateral should
be viewed and treated as bond to in
sure appearance and not as fine.
Until it is so regarded. and as long as
| forfeitures are permitted without cost
or penalty. the sums taken at the
stations will be viewed by their de-
positorS as fines. The true solution
of this problem is the establishment Of
traffic court. before which offenders
against the safety rules can be taken
| Immediately upon arrest and tried
without delay, with no collateral and
