REFUSE RESPONSIBILITY
 FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES

London, May 4-Dr. Sthamer, the German ambassador here. tonight pre- scented a note to the foreign office protesting against the Polish coup in Upper Silesia as an apparently con- certed effort to take the province by force and refusing all responsibility for the situation and its copsequences. The note has also been communica ted to the other allied governments,
 It declares that by the action of its irresponsible Polish agents and provo catures. strike has been engineered in Upper Silesia through the whole mining and industrial area, terrorizing the willing workers and preventing them from carrying out their tasks, while Polish sokols and armed bands cover the country as far as Ratibor. The organized destruction of rail- ways and bridges, it is asserted, shows prearranged plan for Polish insur- recton. The interallied commission it is added, has recognized that the German population has given no provo- cation.
 Late in the afternoon Dr. Sthamer presented seconu nose. stating that the situation had become extremely acute and reciting details, according to which the insurgents had seized the entire industrial region. including the districts of Pless, Rybnik and Rati- Dor, and a portion of Lublinitz Cross strehlitz and Oppeln. In fighting at Rynik, two Italian officers and 1S men were killed. Director Cox, of the Preussen mines at Mischowitz and Director Ganse. of the Czuschez mine at Rybnik and others have been mur- dered.
 The note says that all German off cials. employees and directors have been compelled to abantSon the industrial es- tablishments ana that all mines and factories are at & standstill. The ple- biscite police have been disarmed and some of them carried off. The in- surgents are well armed, many of them wearing Polish uniforms; railways, tel ephone lines and telegraph wires have been cut and many railway bridges blown up.
 The fnterallied commission. the note declares admits that the Ger man population is blameless and has promised to intervene with all meas ures at its disposal. but unfortunately, with the exception of the declaration of martial law. no tangible success in the suppression of the revolt can be observed.
 Dr. Sthamer concludes by calling the attention of the British government to the extreme danger, unless speedy steps are taken to suppress the re- volt.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 1.-The after noon session of the convention of the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods associa- tion here today was featured by ad dresses on timely topics by various del egates, the speakers including George R. James of Memphis, Tenn; F. S. Ep- stein, Savannah, Ga, and Robert " Covington of Jacksonville, Fla.
 MT. James. using as his topic, "where Do We Standas" said that If we remove the spectacles with which we look at life one lens having the dollar sign on it and the other the personal pronoun T. we will see that business has grown and that there is an increase over this time last year." He declared that one Of the weak spots in service is that there is not enough attention paid to needs of customers, and "the fellow who works for himself alone is working for a very poor paymaster.'
 Mir. James said that in future more attention should be paid to the women on the farms who wish to trade and look well, and the merchants must compete with large mail order houses who attract trade through catalogues.
 MT. Covington, in discussing imitation end deflation of business, declared that union labor furnished one of the great est problems confronting the country during the readjustment period. They stand for high prices and they did not show patriotism" said the speaker. "we had to have them and they made the most of 1t in our need" He de- clared that last year the cotton men, "expecting to get 35 cents for cotton" bought accordingly, and that it will take the farmers 8 long time to liquidate in debtedness.
