SEVENTY-FiVE LEAGUE OF MA TONS TROOPS ARE KILLED
 AND 15O INJURED.

Misunderstanding to the latest fig. ares 75 League of Nations troops have been killed and 15O wounded during clashes with Poles in the Up. per Silesian uprising. The heaviest fighting occurred near Ratibor where the Italians were forced to ask an armistice in order to withdraw into tempted sortie across the river, leaving with their artillery, but they were attacked by an overwhelming force and were forced to retire. The Poles captured the Italian artillery and advanced nearer Ratibor The Italians, having received reinforce ments, took a stand and drove the Poles off.
 The Italian casualties in the Pless, Rybnik, and Ratibor districts totals two officers and 35 men killed and 4s men wounded
 General Martino, acting command. CT in chief, has urged the Italian em. bassy for relief. Germany offered to send police which Italy refused to accept.
 Colonel Cockerel. British chief at Beuthen, has demanded reinforce. ments and said if they were not forth coming he would give up the city.
 German official circles hear that M Korfantry, the Polish plebseite commissioner, after declaring him. self dictator, has established head quarters at Ejchenau Kattawitz and has sent the Inter-allied Plebscste Commission an ultimatum demanding that martial law be suspended, that the inter-allied troops remain neutral and that the German press be sup pressed.

Warsaw.-In the face of increasing clashes between the insurgents and Germans, the Polish government has decided upon a vigorous plan of ac. ton in an attempt to settle the insur. rection instigated by Delbert Korfan. ty, the former plebiscite commission. CT in Upper Silesia, with the object of joining the industrial section of Up. per Silesia to Poland.
 The Polish cabinet has issued 8 statement to the effect that while the ministry thoroughly understands the patriotic motive" which led to the spontaneous outbreak throughout the mining districts, the government disapproves of the insurrection and considers the movement vain at. tempt to attain the desired end under ] present circumstances.
 The government, according to dip. lomatic circles, is contemplating framing an appeal to the Silesians to drop their arms and return to work and permit the allied authorities to settle the dispute without further in. reference. in accordance with the treaty of Versailles.
 One of the problems Poland is compelled to face is the repeated eff forts of Poles to go to the assistance of the insurgents. Dispatches receiv. ed report that 10000 armed workmen from the Dombrowa- -Sosnowice min, ing district in east Silesa have at. temped to cross the frontier to assist the insurgents, but all were turned back by the Polish authorities.
 Pitched encounters between the in. surgents and the Germans have oc- cured at various points in the Ryb. nix district, where, according to Pc. fish reports, more than 150 Poles have been killed and many wounded, while heavier

FOREIGN GOODS ARE
 FLOODING AMERICA
AMERICAN MANUFACTURER ARE BEING UNDERSOLD AND BE.
 COMING ALARMED.

Washington.-That the anti-dump. ing provision of the emergency tariff bill will not halt the present under selling of American products by foreign products in American markets was admitted by Senator McCumber of North Dakota, ranking Republican member of the Finance Committed, in opening the debate on the measure in the Senate.
 This underselling will continue in increasing volume until American prices fall and American wages are lowered or until the tariff on the com. peting foreign products Is raised. Such protection will be afforded agri. cultural products by the emergency tariff bill and other products. it is con- templated, by the permanent tariff law to be enacted several months hence.
 The anti-dumping section provides an additional duty to be assessed on foreign goods dumped on American markets at prices below the home market value. It will be ineffective because no foreign goods are being dumped in America and will not be until conditions radically change.
 Foreign goods are not being dump ed here because it is not necessary to do so.
 American prices are so much high. CT than foreign prices that the for. eign goods can be sold Tn the United States for more than they would have brought at home and still undersell American competitors. With the foreign goods sold here at prices no les sthan the home market value the provision of the anti-dumping section will not apply to such imports.
 German products are reaching American markets in volume, rapidly approaching the pre-war figure, and American industries are alarmed by fears of the effort of German compe, tition. but the protection sought can be afforded only by the permanent tariff legislation.
 thihh SNeiy man III the oShale realizes the condition of the indus tries throughout the United States al the present time," said Senator Nc Cumber. While we have recognized that industries in every line were sui. fering from the reaction after the war, it was we'll known that the agrf cultural industry was suffering more than any other While the farmers products had gone down from one third to one-half in price. everything the farmer had to purchase remained at the old price.

Wilhelm Mayer, German Ambassador To France Is in Favor of Paying Political Circle Also
 Favor Terms.

Berlin.-The Majority Socialists and Clericals in party conference have voted in favor af accepting the ultima tum of the allies. The German Peo- ple's Party by vote of 59 to 5 re- jected the proposition. The Demo crats were in session at midnight
 AS the Independent Socialists al- ready have favored yielding to the al- lies, it is believed there will be-a suf- ficient majority in the Reichstag for acceptance of the ultimatum.
 Paul Loebe of the Majority Social ists, president of the Reichstag, will be commissioned by-President Ebert with the task of forming a new cabi- net.
 Sentiment in German political cir cles shows a drift in favor of agreeing to the allied reparation terms. It now is believed a parliamentary coalition which will accept the allied ultima. tum will be constituted within tho next "A hours.
 Germany has until midnight May 12 to consider the allied terms. By the expiration of this time she is required to give categorical answer-yes or no whether she will accept these terms. Failure to accept, will be followed by allied occupation of the Ruhr valley, for which allied military preparations are in progress.
 The terms the Germans are asked to accept include as the main feat. ure the payment of 135,000, 900 .OO0 gold marks in separations to the al. lies, or approximately $33, 750 .000, 900.
 Meanwhile. the cabinet of Chancel- Tor Fehrenbach, with Dr. Walter s. mons as foreign minister. has resign. ed. and political leaders are being kept in almost constant consultation over the problem of just what attitude Germany shall adopt.
