German Action To Quell Uprising, Suggested
by Lloyd George, Held Breeder of War In
Which Poilu Would Aid Poles; English
Premier Roundly Scored for Proposal

Paris, May 14The entry Of German troops into Upper
Sesia would provoke intervention by regular Polish troops
which would war; and in such France could not
remain neutral according to expressions in official circles
here today.
The utmost amazement expressed in these circles at
the speech yesterday of Mr. Lloyd George the British prime
minister the Upper Slesan situation containing what
regarded here extraordinarily friendly references to Ger
many and judgments hostile toward Poland and unsympa
thetc toward France
Premier BRAND himself took the unusual course of re-
ceving all the foreign newspaper correspondents in group

arrest.
Chief Moffitt this morning re-
ceived telegram from the Home
Savings & Trust company Of Den
yer, on which Sugermon had used
checks signed by e. G. Stevens Of
Denver. The bank stated it has
no man of that name of it's list of
depositors, and added that there
was no address in Denver such as
Sugermon had furnished the po-
lice here. Sugermon had repre-
sented himself as a operative for
Stevens.
Lad Tells Story.
Patterson, who also was well
dressed, was recognized by Moffitt
just as he was putting up $40 bond
for his appearance for corner cut
ting. Searching the youth, Mof-
fit found two checks, signed by
Horace c. Kimball and made pay
able to Wallace Kimball. Both
were made out for $12. Investiga-
tion showed that Patterson al
ready cashed two cnecks here
one at Steusloff's meat market,
and the other at Foster and Ba-
ker's grocery store.
That he was victimized of 5000
by a Portland girl whom he had
befriended, and that he had read
of forger's activities and had re-
sorted to check work in despera-
tion, was the story which Moffitt
says Patterson told him. Moffitt
says Patterson explained, in effect
as follows:
Il read in the newspapers about
forgers. When I met this girl
and she had beaten me out of the

Patterson broke down and wept
during the questioning. Chiei
Moffitt says that the lad forged
five checks in Portland before
coming to Salem. He was travel
ing in an automobile, purchased
! in Seattle, on which he had made
one payment, according to tht
contract which was found in hiI
pocket.

France is unalterably opposed to
any German military operations in
Upper Silesia, Premier BRAND de-
clared.
Never, never, could the French
government consent to German
troops entering Upper Silesia." the
premier exclaimed to half a hum
dred foreign correspondents whom
he received at the foreign office in
consequence OF Premier Lloyd
Georges speech yesterday in the
British house of commons.
False Impression Claimed.
German bands are operating In
Upper Silesia, maltreating and ar
resting Poles,' continued NJ.
BRAND. mot all the disorders in
that province are produced by the
Poles. The French government
could not permit German military
forces to intervene in such a stu
alton.
II protest with all my energy
against the false impressions be-
ing spread throughout the world.
The French government has full
filled to the utmost Of its power
its duty in Upper Silesia. We have
10000 troops there who have had
to deal with 100000 insurgents
and a rising of several hundred
thousand persons.
British Help Lacking.
'"Then French troops could do
no more than hold the cities, the
towns and the strategic points.
'If the British government
would send $4,000 troops there TO
help us, the disorders could be put
down more quickly.
"The news received by the for
eign office from Upper Silesia TO-
day is that the insurgents are 90
ing to their homes and returning
to work.
"The French governments solu-
tlon is that the allies should in the
first place assume a calm attitude
and instruct their commissioners
in Upper Silesia to try to reach a
unanimous agreement.
''Such an agreement would not
be difficult IL ali considerations
except the results Of the plebiscite
were excluded. The French gov
ernment's only instructions to its
commissioner were to determine
according to the majority Of the
ballots in the communes which
should go to Poland and which to
Germany"

the site we'll because of the many times
it had been selected for importan.
structural improvements before Irving
Bush took the property last March.
For time it was planned to make it
the center of all territorial activities
located in London.
Surprised London Folks
Irving Bush and his associates have
taken the property on ninety-nine
years lease and will spend sT000,000 in
improving it, London awakened one
morning to find three large steam
shovels scooping out the island" The
shovels worked down 60 feet to gravel
which many years ago was the bed of
the Thames River, now 800 feet away.
Two Of the largest cranes that Lon
den has ever seen have been used in
swinging the steel skeleton into place
The building has been carried up four
tiers. About 1000 tons of steel are to
be used. Placing of the stone facade
has been started. About 100000 cubic
feet of Portland stone, which is the
same material used in the picturesque
St. Pau's Cathedral, London, has been
contracted for. About $500 cubic
yards of concrete will be used in COM
plotting the structure. Payments to
workers on the project will total
81 100000, when the project has been
finished, according to current wage
scale.
Tower Subject of Discussion
The building is to have tower but
its height and other features are now
before the London County Council,
which asked that the proposals for the
top piece be submitted to it. As
planned by Hcmle & Corbett, archi-
tects, it would reach 200 feet in the
air. The erection of this great struc-
ture may have the effect of revolution
izing building methods in London.
