Prisoners Cross Border.

RevaI Aug. 1.-The six Amerl- cans released. from Moscow prisons, who arrived here yesterday morn ing, passed a happy day shopping and outfitting themselves after she'd ding their prison clothes and under going the cleansing necessary to comply with the health regulations
 The men who have received their freedom are Capt. Emmett Kil- patrick of Uniontown, Ala: William Flick. H. J. Lamare and Dr. w. E.. Estes of New York; X. B. Calma- tiano of Racine, Wis, and Russell Rattinger of San Francisco. All decided to remain in Reyal for sev- eral days before going to Riga, and sent cables to relatives in the United States asking for replies in care of the Red Cross at Reval
 Relieved of their shaggy boards, fur caps and bedraggled Russian uniforms, the Americans assumed a different appearance. They were all greatly reduced in flesh and raven ously hungry. and were unable to pass a food shop without stopping in apparent engagement.
 The Russian Bolshevist sent the Americans by special car from Mos COW to Narva where the barbed wire gates dividing the Soviet republic from Esthonia swung open and per fmitted the car to be transferred to Esthonia territory. When the dis heveled and ragged Americans look ed from the car windows and saw the half-starved Bolshevik guarding the east side of the line while the well-fed and well-uniformed EsthOn- ians controlled the west side, they chaffed the Bolsheviki, telling them 1 that is what communism does fol people.
 By courtesy of the Esthonain gov ernment the Americans were not stopped at the border but were brought to Reval for cleansing by the American Red Cross, which vii care for them until they are rested and ready to travel home.

Another Crisis Is Averted When France and Eng land Agree On Silesian Question.

Paris, Aug. 1Q,-M Briand French premier, announced to the Supreme Council yesterday that the British premier, Mr Lloyd George and he were in an agreement in principle upon the Upper Silesian boundary, and that it remains fol the experts to draw the exact line, which will be on basis of giving equal value to the votes cast in the recent plebiscite, whether Polish O1 German and whether in mining, in dustrial or rural townships.
 "If one examines the result of the plebiscite in general way. said M. Briand, there is no doubt that the German mass is in the West and the Polish mass in the East of Upper Silesia. Thus, geo graphically speaking, the Nsolutior is easy to be seen; and even obliga. tory"
 The members of all the delega. tions feel relieved today that the thorny entanglement which has beer threatening to wreck the peace oi Europe has been solved. The belie1 is held here that Poland and Ger many will accept the settlement Nalthough grumblingly, and that il disorders break out they will b' suppressed by the allies.
 The council decided not to sen( allied endorsements to Upper Si lesia, as France desired.
 The experts and allied high com missioners here met and begun t' lay down the new boundary line and may be ready to report soon. The conference next takes up tn | ITurco-Greek situation with two ques tions First. whether the time ha arrived for the allies to offer to ar bitrate; second, to what extent tn allies are bound to he neutral ant where should the line be drawn ol supplying fighting materials. | These questions are to be takel 1 unucr auflStDltnt at ldteI ScSSiol when the Russian problem also vii be discussed.
