FINE OPPORTUNITY.
Delaware Democrats May be
Relieved of an AGcient Fac
tionaI Trouble.
Philadelphia Record.

Democratic circles also are deeply
stirred over tn. situation as the rami-
fications of the deal for the Senator
ship affect the official organization OF
that party. Chancellor wolcott has not
yet announced his resignation of his
place as DeIaware's member of the
Dempcratic National Committee, but 1t
is expected he will do SO, and IL Will
be incumbent upon the Democratic
State Committee to select his success
or. Ii is expected a special meeting of
the committee will be called. probably
next week, and already number of
names have been suggested.
Hopeful Democrats look upon this
feature of the situation as opening a
promising opportunity for eliminating
the last vestige of the ancient Sauls-
bury w olcott factional fight that has
annoyed the party organization for
many years. Ii was not allaved by
Willard Saulsbury's leadership of t.
party, nor did il entirely suhside after
he was dethroned by Senator Wolcott
i'm last years Democratic State pri-
maries. The rancor Of the hoary old
grudge was apparent right along.
Now, however. IL is believed the State
Committee may, by its selection of a
member Of the National Committee
who would. by virtue Of this office, he
at least the titular leader, an6 possi-
bly, become the actual leader, bodily
declare "a plague on both your houses
and make a selection that would
throughly unite the party and place
it in fine position to inaugurate an
enthusiastic and inspiring campaign
for control of the State next year.

FRANCE EAGER TO JOIN
As SOON As IT'S SAFE

Paris, July H.. Sheldon White
house. counsel Of the American EN-
bassy. called at the French Foreign
Office just before noon today and talk
ed with NJ. de Peretti de Ia Rocca-
Director Of Political Affairs. on the
possibility OF holding A conference on
disarmament.
Official comment on President Hard
ing's initiative for q conference on the
limitation Of armaments is withheld
pending receipt Of the official invi-
tation, but unofficial opinions, gather
ed in official circles are to the effect
that France certainly viii accept the
invitation. II one is received
The attitude u the French gov
ernment, however. is said 70 be un-
changed since it was set forth iu the
assembly OF the League Of Nations
last December BY Leon Bourgeois.
France, it is. explained. is ready and
xould be glad 70 reduce her arrna-
rnents and save the heavy expense
involved as soon as she can safely
do 50. but any decision on this aues-
ton must depend upon absolute Sc
curity from the east.
Inquiries in official circles disclose
rhe impression that such security
has not yet been obtained. The Upper
SiIesian troubles and the Nationalist
reaction in certain parts Of Germany
are cited as indications that the time
has not ye. come when France can
safely weaken herself in the face Of
Germany.
French opinion is particularly ex-
ercised over the continued agitation
by the German manifestants who re-
NAMED in Upper Silesia after the
evacuation by the German forces
under General Won Hoefner.
In this connection il is declared that
since the assassination of Major Mon
talieres at Beuthen last week TWO
French officers there have been be-
sieeed in their quarters by menacing
crowds being saved only BY the IN
teryention OF the police, while French
official dispatches declare that of the
forty thousand troops who were under
General Won Hoefner in Upper ST.
lesia. only 10000 were withdrawn OF
the % 600 said to be remaining, half
are non residents of Upper Siiesla
and these are understood 10 be the
elements which are continuing the an
u-PoIish agitation and menacing the
French troops and their officers.
The French government afhrms that
the version OF the ASA ssination of
Major Montalieres given By certain
German newspapers is Inaccurate IN
essential particulars, both the French
and British reports demonstrating
that some one in the crowd of dem
onstrators was responsible for the
shooting.
