TURK CAPITAL MENACED
BY BANDS OF ROBBERS
Allied Officials at ConstantinopIe Wor-
ried-The American Embassy Is
Guarded by Sailors.

Constantinople, May 10. - Alarm
over the safety Of Constantinople ap-
parently Is felt by allied officials here.
Operations by bandits are assuming
serious proportions, particularly in
Thrace. Large numbers of BOlsheviki
are arriving and the American en-
bassy is under guard of armed sailors.
Brigadier General Harrington, COM
mander Of the allied forces here, has
gone to London to lay the military sit
uatiOn before British authorities.
Turkish nationalists declare that
banditry is being encouraged by the
Greeks, who, they allege, are seeking
an excuse for Selling Constantinople.
The Greeks, on the other hand, state
that uprisings are being stimulated by
Bulgarian Chiefs
At any rate, life and property are
not considered safe In the region about
this city. The country is threatened
with famine, as the fields are untitled,
the people being terrorized and afraid
to leave their villages. 1t is said that
thousands OF Russians, who formerly
were soldiers under command Of Cen
eral Wrangel, have turned outlaws.
Deserters from the Greek and Turkish
armies are included in the bands OPP
Grating outside the city.

Upper SiIesia Row Threatens
Break Between France and
the Other Allies.
LLOYD GEORGE VS.. BRAND
United States Will Take No Hand In
the Observation-Disclosures Drops
Fight on Borah's Naval Reduc-
tlon Plan-RalWay Wage
Cut Coming.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Upper Silesia threatens to become
wedge to split the entente alliance.
The Poles, slowing up In their insur-
gent movement, are relying on France
and have asked at least the moral sup
port Of America. The British, as rep
resented by their government, are
thoroughly disguised with the Poles
and resent the attitude and actions of
the French. France practically unan-
imously stands back Of the Poles and
promises to "go 1t alone" If necessary.
Italy and Japan are said to side with
the British, and America will not, for
the present, mix in the imbroglio at
all.
Premier Lloyd George probably has
been talking too much-a fault of his
which has been in evidence before.
First he told the house Of commons
that Poland was In the wrong, that it
was up to the allied plebiscite forces,
whichSare mighty weak, to restore or
der in-Upper Silesia and put the Poles
back where he thinks they belong, and
that If they could not do it, fairness
demanded that the Germans be per-
mitted to do it. He also sent to Paris
a note severely criticising the action
of the French troops in Upper Silesia
and declaring the French government
was supporting Korfanty In his rebel
lion.
Premier BRAND and the press Of
the course being pursued by Great
Britain, and 1t was declared France
never would recognize the alleged
promise made by the British to Ger
many, that she should have Upper ST.
Tesla In return for acceptance of the
PREPARATIONS ultimatum. Though the
total plebiscite vote In the zone was
In favor Of Germany, certain of the
districts voted for union with Poland,
and the French claim these should go
to Poland In accordance with the
treaty Of Versailles. In fact both
sides to the controversy assert that
that treaty must be carried out, but
apparently they interpret 1t different
ly. The French say order could have
been maintained easily If Great Brit
ain had not withdrawn her part Of the
occupational force, and that her ex-
cuse that the troops were needed at
home IL insufficient The opposition
press In England admits the truth OF
this.
Mr.. Lloyd George reinforced his
statements by further assertion that
he would not accept the French con-
tentions, and he spoke with biting
sarcasm Of the attitude of the French
press. The editors of Paris, indeed,
are saying some very unpleasant
things about the British prime minis
ter and his government. One of them
prints an account Of alleged intrfgues
with Berlin concerning the ultimatum,
designed to give the British complete
control Of the economic situation In
Europe, and another accuses Lloyd
George Of thinking he can continue to
dictate laws for the continent. He
forgets," says this editor. "thae the
French army is available for backing
Frances word, whereas England is
represented in Europe only by Mr..
Lloyd Georges speeches"

STILL ABOVE 1874
Report of Industrial Conference
Board Is Made Public.
INCREASE SHOWN IN RENT
Expense of Shelter, Fuel and Light
Greater Than East Year, While
Food and Clothing Cost Indi-
Gates Material Decline.

New York. My pa report made
public here by the national industrial
conference board shows that the total
cost OF living has fallen 175 per cent
since July. 1920, but in March, 1921,
was 6S.7 per cent higher than in July,
1914. Costs of food and clothing are
shown to have decreased, and rent and
cost of fuel and light to have in
creased since last year.
This analysis of changes in the cost
of living in the United States is based
upon material gathered from a large
number of representative retail deal
ers, from persons representing inter-
ests in many sections of the country
In connection with rents and car fares.
Rise in Seven years.
The total increase in the cost of
living since the beginning of the war,
the investigation shows, was 68.7 per
cent in March. The rise in the cost
of the major items of the budget of
wage-earners between July, 1914, and
March, 1921, is estimated to have
been as follows:
Food 90 per cent
Shelter ..................71 per cent
Clotnlng ................. l4 per cent
Fuel and light. ..........S7 per cent
Sundries .S5 per cent
The report shows that the peak was
reached In July, 1920. Since then the
total cost of living has decreased IT'S
per cent.
Food Shows a Drop.
Food has decreased % per cent,
clothing, 80 per cent, while shelter has
increased per cent and fuel and
light 13 per cent, no change having
taken place in the cost of sundries.
Since the beginning of November
last the total cost of living has de-
creased 1875 per cent. food showing a
10 per cent decrease, clothing a %
per cent decrease, fuel and light a
So per cent decrease, and sundries a
A per cent decrease. The only item
which has shown a tendency to in
crease is rent, the average having gone
up per cent since November.

the Charleston navy yard.
1t was predicted the insurgents
would not go further In the disarnl-
ament plan than to force adoption OF
the Borah amendment, though they
might favor one offered by Senator
Pomerene authorizing the President to
suspend the present building program
pending the outcome Of the proposed
negotiations.
The administration also let the
house know that 1t had no objection
to its proceeding with the peace with
Germany resolution, and the house
committee on foreign affairs has be-
gun work on the measure. The house
leaders do not agree with certain
phases of the Knox resolution adopted
by the senate, but the differences prob
ably can easily be reconciled.
Continuing its hearings on the Vol
stead bill to make the prohibition en-
forcement law more drastic, the house
judiciary committee did not find any
friends Of beer or the medical boot
logger. Manufacturers of favoring
extracts, patent medicines and per-
fumes, in protesting against added re-
strictions, were outspoken In opposi-
ton to medical beer and the sale OF
concoctions, masquerading as medi-
cine. Chemists appeared before the
committee and protested vigorously
against legislation which, they be-
lieved, would tend to restrict the legiti-
mate use of alcohol In industry.
Representative Ryan of New York
has introduced In the house a bill
which would permit the sale Of per
cent beer and IA per cent wine In
states where a referendum showed the
voters wished 1t. Thiss Of course,
won't get anywhere except into a
pigeonhOle, but there was some real
solace for the vets In last weeks
news. On Friday more than two-thirds
of the federal prohibition forces were
discharged on orders from Commits
sioner Kramer, because of lack Of
funds with which to pay their salaries.
This condition will last, 1t was assert
ed, for 40 days, and the bootleggers
all over the country got busy at once.
Mr.. Kramer hoped the police would
supply the deficiency in enforcing the
dry law, but In the cases Of many
cities his hope was baseless.

After one days consideration of
the railway wage case, the federal
railway labor board made a prelim-
mary announcement forecasting gen.
eral reduction Of wages on every rail-
road, effective July /. On June / the
board will make its decision on wage
disputes filed prior to April IL, and
this will set the standard for all fu-
ture decisions affecting the two million
employees who were granted $780,
OOOOO0 annual wage increase one year
ago. The reduction may be as much
as II per cent. An immediate result
of the announcement was the re-
employment of 1900 men by the Chica-
go & Alton, and there were predic-
lions that practically all Of the $780,
600 railway men now out of work
would be employed by the time the
wage reductions go into effect.
