Upper Slesia comes to the front
again, with prospects of renewed trou-
BILE which may result in another out
break of hostilities and even IN q
break among the entente allies. Con-
vinced that the situation there was ex-
tremely critical, France asked Great
Britain and Italy to join her In sending
reinforcements to the region. The
British. foreign Office replied belittling
the danger and proposing that meet
Ing Of the supreme council be held on
July q. To this Premier BRAND re-
spondcd with note announcing that
France intended to reinforce the Upper
Silesian contingent and again asking
Great Britain and Italy to follow
suit, insisting on the necessity Of a
committee of experts to hold meet
Ing Immediately to investigate Upper
SileSia and to draft frontier, and
announcing that France was not pre-
pared for a supreme council meeting
until the experts have reached de-
cision, and the allies are In position
to enforce the decision as to the Up
per Silesian boundary by adequate
forces in the disputed territory. Dis
patches from Paris said 10000 troops
were to be sent at once to Upper ST.
lesia, with artillery. tanks and planes.
There was a chance that America
10 hAI fn
position In rejolning the supreme
council was that we would take no
part in questions affecting territorial
and frontier adjustments unless gen.
eral peace were threatened. Some
diplomats believe that point has been
reached. Naturally there Is intense
satisfaction In German official circles
over the prospects Of split among
members Of the entente.
The advance Of the Greeks In Asia
Minor has been continuous, the Turk
Natlonallsts retiring before 1t without
putting up many serious fights. Last
week King Constantine's forces
reached and occupied the important
railway junction Of Eski-Shehr. This
cuts the rail route to AngOra, the
capital Of the Kemallsts. but the rail-
ways already have been destroyed.
Military experts in Constantinople be-
leve the Turks plan to draw on the
Greeks until their lines are unduly
extended and then try to exhaust them
by series of irregular attacks.
In Albania the Mirdites, Christian
tribe, have proclaimed an independent
republic and elected a president. The
Albanian government has ordered a
general mobilization to repress the re-

This he will submit to the Irish ire
publicans" whose decision, Nhe has as
serted, he will abide by. The plan was
first given In detail to the British
cabinet and received It's almost unani"
nous approval. Premier Smuts OF
South Africa again had taken hand
In the settlement and had suggested
fiscal alterations which were adopted.
Thus the prospects for Irish peace
are fairly good, despite the fact that
Ulster and the extreme Unionists re-
main to be satisfied, Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier, after meeting
Lloyd George In London, returned to
Belfast to consult his government. He
declared Ulster would not yield Its
right of self-determlnation, that Its
separation from southern Ireland was
an accomplished fact, and that ut
now only remains for Mr.. de Valera
and the British people to come to
terms regarding the area outside OF
that Of which / am prime minister"
He emphatically repudiated the Sim
Fein argument that Ulster Is In the
minority and must bow to the ma
jorlty in Ireland, admitting the unity
of the island and accepting self gov
ernment. II 1t gets it, from Ireland as
a whole. Up to date De Valera and his
colleagues have not abandoned this
Sim Fein position. 1t remains to be
seen which side will yield. For the mo-
ment, at least, the attitude Of the peo-
pie Of southern Ireland is more peace
full and concillatory than that of the
northern Irish.

Meanwhile movement for the re-
call Of the American troops in Ger
many has started in the senate. Mr..
BOrah introduced a resolution calling
on the secretary Of war for all data
as to the size Of the army Of occupa-
tlon, the cost Of maintaining 1t and the
payments Of the German government
for Its expenses. The senate promptly
adopted the resolution without roll
call or a dissenting voice.
The tariff bill. having been passed
by the house, Is now before the senate
but If present plans are followed that
body will not act on It finally until
legislation to revive taxes has been
enacted. This is in accord with the
understood wish Of the administration.
The prospect for considerably lower
taxes, however, was dimmed some
what by the rather startling state
ments made by A. D. Lasker, new
chairman of the shipping board. He
asserted that his Investigations have
revealed the fact that the board
operated last fiscal year at net loss
Of $3.50, ,0O0, 900, and predicted that dur
ing the present fiscal year the loss
from operations alone will be $780,
100000. Mr.. Lasker said the records
of the board were In .deplorable con-
dition and that II It had been private
business concern the corporation
would have been in receivers hands
long ago. He indicated that appro-
priations Of $30OOOO,0O0 would be
needed for this year, but later he
asked congress for only S125,00G0OO
for the next six months. The formal
request for this sum was made through
Director Of Budget Dawes and with
the approval of President Harding.
Prodded to quick action by pre-
liminary report of the special commits
sion on soldiers relief, which scored
the government for neglect Of disabled
veterans, the senate on Wednesday
passed the Sweet bill without a dis
senting vote. An amendment was
adopted designed to transfer from the
ex-service men to the government the
burden of proof In establishing the
origin of disabilities. In some other
respects the bill as passed by the
house was altered. AS passed by the
senate the measure provides: For the
creation of a veterans bureau, respon-
sible directly to the President, consol-
idating all soldier relief agencies; for
the decentralization Of the compensa-
ton and insurance machinery now OPP
Grated by the war risk bureau, and
for the liberalization Of compensation
awards so as to relieve any former SOL
der suffering from ailments for which
the war service was responsible.

Rio Tinto Dividend.

Rio Tinto. one OF the biggest Euro
pean copper properties, situated in
Spain, has passed the dividend on its
ordinary shares for 1920. The practice
in the past has been to declare an an

preceding year. In 1920 the dividend
was f2 per share on it's 1919 business.
The surplus carried forward for the
1920 business was f375.000. The COM

and has paid them continuously ever

Talks
To Investors
e

SUCCESSFUL INVESTING involves not
only intelligent selection Of Sc
curities, but occasional change
from one type of issue To another
type. Security values are affected
by many influences.
In THE SPRING OF 1915 Chicago
and North Western common and
General Electric were both sell
ing at about the same prices
l25. We advised certain of our
clients to buy General Electric
and sell Chicago and North
Western at that time.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE RESULT Since
that time, General Electric has
greatly increased its dividend,
and i'm 1919 sold as high as IT'S.
On the other hand, Chicago x
North Western has reduced its
dividend from 7% to SIS and in
1920 sold far below $50 per share
Inns Is ONLY ONE INSTANCE in
hundreds where our clients have
profitcd greatly by wise invest
mcnt supervision of their invest

fcring losses in both principal
and income, these clients have
not only fully maintained their

both principal and income with
