WARSAW, Ind, June 9-Hundreds
of Warsaw citizens and residents of
neighbor1ng towns who attempted to
jam into the courtroom today to hear
the trial of Virgil Decker, charged with
numbering his chum, Leroy Lovett,
were informed by Judge Royce, that
this trial is not a movie or a vaude-
vile show. Judge Royce said he had
heard complaints of some persons that
they were taxpayers and thus entitled
to crowd into the courtroom.
mo one in this county pays taxes
to come here and hear a trial. said
the judge, "and don't think that your
right to crowd in here is more sacred
than the right of the court to proceed
with this trial"

Sheriff Moon, which was similar to

Albert d. Losker We'll Adapted
To New Shipping Board Policy
New Theory Is To Provide Market Abroad for Surplus o
Goods Produced in the United States-New
Chairman Merchandising Genius.
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, June o.-The Sc
lection of Albert D. Lasker of Chi
cago, for head of the shipping board,
implies what the shipping board has
never had before. namely, a definite
policy. a continuous policy and new
policy far beyond the management of
ships.
To this new policy Mr.. Lasker Is
as we'll adapted as any man who could
possibly have been chosen. The new
theory of the shipping board is that
its function shall be in a broad sense
a merchandising one. its business
will be to dispose abroad of the sur
plus of American production above
what is consumed at home.
Few men have either the genius for
merchandising that Mr.. Lasker has,
or the experience in it. Superficially,
Mr.. LaSker is known as the head of
great advertising firm. In fact, how
ever, this is minor to several other
of his experiences. He is the chief
owner of several products which for
years have had a large prosperity,
based on national distribution.
Understands Distribution.
1t is distribution on a wide scale
that Mr.. Lasker understands and out
of which he has made a very large
fortune, although he is not yet 4
middle aged man.
The distribution and marketing of
commodities is a special art, and Mr..
Lasker has a marked adaptation for
it and marked experiences in it, His

GERMAN PLEA
SAYS FRENCH
ATTACK ERROR
Ambassador Calls at Foreign
Office To Present Excuse
British Drive Poles Out of
Rosenberg.
OCCUPATION EXTENDS

PARIS, June 9-Dr. Mayer. the Ger
man ambassador here, called at the
foreign office this morning and pre-
sented the excuses of the German
government for an attack upon the
French troops in Silesia yesterday by
the forces of General Won Hoefer,
head of the German defense forces in
the district. DR.. Mayer said the at
tack was an error, the French having
been mistaken for Polish insurgents.
OPPELN, June 9-Five thousand
Polish insurgents have been driven
out of the city of Rosenberg. north
east of this city, by British forces, and
last night the Poles were reported to
be retreating in a southeasterly direc
ton. At that time many had passed
the city of Lublinitz. about 10 miles
from Rosenberg. The Poles made a
show of resistance but the British did
not fire shot in taking possession of
Rosenberg.
When the British soldiers entered
the city. the Poles dropped few poor
ly aimed shells behind them and there
was a scattering patter of rifle shots
from the Polish positions.
The poles then picked up their ma
chine guns which had been set up in
a road and fled.
Depart on Time
When the British marched further
into the city they found a Polish com
mander with 800 men. The COM
mander was directed to leave the city
within an hour and to evacuate the
district before Wednesday night The
Pole said this was impossible and he
was warned that every insurgent found
in Rosenberg at the expiration of an
hour would be held for examination.
A search of the city late in the even
ing showed that all the insurgents
had departed on time.
The people of Rosenberg gave the
British an ovation, girls trying to kiss
the soldiers and old women weeping
as the British marched through the
! streets. There was no attempt on the
part of the British to disarm the Poles

trying to avoid civil war and are
attempting TO re-esta blish allied au-

Occupation Extends
Belief is expressed here that the
British will promptly proceed south
ward and occupy Lublinitz II is eX-
pected that they will Immediately take
charge of cities in the industrial DIS
tricts of Upper Silesia.
The British advance into Rosenberg
was made so rapidly that the Pole :
made virtually no attempt TO carry
out their threat to burn and plunder
THE city One jewelry store. one focd
shop and one clothing establishment
were broken into. but two wagons
loaded with plunder taken from them
were deserted in the suburbs by the
Poles, who could not get their loot
away in safety.
Shortly after the British occupied
the town small detachments of French
soldiers appeared and some OF these
stood guard last night with the Brit
ish. The Poles were said to be sew
eral miles distant and still fleeing,
not disturbing the inha bitants Of the
districts through which they were re-
treating.
