Special Dispatch 10 The Tribune

OSSINING, N. Y, May 28.--Charles
Ortner left to-day the only place of
employment where he ever has been
perfectly satisfied. He was fired.
He came to Sing Sing May 20, 1917
under a sentence of from two to four
years imposed in Queens County for
an assault committed on a fellow
workman.
ortner was model of department.
Prison life just suited him and his
somewhat solitary nature delighted in
the protection afforded by prison rules
from the talkativeness and quarrel
someness of his fellow workers.
The record made by the prisoner
from Queens County was a perfect one
and made him eligible for parole No
vember 28, 1918. Warden Meyer shook
hands with him when he brought him
the application for parole to sign. Ort-
ner scowled.
"The judge said two to four years."
said he. "He said nothing about sign
ing anything and you can't make me
sign that"

ment of Is Months for
CrueIties 10 British

LEIPZIG, May % (By The Associated
Press).-A sentence of fifteen months
ordinary Imprisonment was demanded
by the state prosecutor to-day for
Captain Miller, the second German Of
fcer to be tried on criminal charges
arising from the conduct of the war.
He is charged with cruelties to
prisoners at the Flavy-le-Martel prison
camp in the department of the Aisne,
France.
The prosecutor told the high court,
which is conducting the trials, that the
case of Captain Muller was not as bad
as that against Sergeant Heyne, Who
was sentenced to ten months imprison-
ment for having ill-treated British SOL
diers at the camp at Herne, West
phalia. Nevertheless, he said, Muller
was to blame for the striking and
kicking of prisoners. the binding Of
one of them to a stake and for COM
pelling sick prisoners to work. He held
the case was not one for imprisonment
in a fortress, on the ground that the
charges against the captain were
''moral, rather than legal"
Muller's counsel pleaded that six
months confinement in fortress
would be ample punishment. Sentence
will be pronounced Monday.

Office pointing out that the Germans
are continuing their operations in
Upper Silesia and suggesting that the
plebiscite question await the restora-

The French Premier is further of
the opinion that, since the reports of

unanimous, it is desirable that the
question be submitted to a special COM
mission, including lawyers and diplo-
mats, who would communicate their
findings to the Supreme Council.

PARIS, May 28.-(By the Associated

sadors has virtually approved a plan
to establish neutral zone between the
German and the Polish forces in Upper
Silesia. 1t decided at its meeting this
forenoon, however, to obtain further
information before taking definite ac-
ton.
The concentration of German troops
at Brieg, near the Silesian frontier, is
declared, in dispatches reaching the
Foreign Office, to be continuing.
Division of Silesia into three zones,
one under Polish authority, another
under the jurisdiction of Germany and
the third to be governed Temporarily
by the Allies, was the program be-
fore the Council of Ambassadors. This
proposition has been urged by Italian
and British representatives on the ST.
lesian plebiscite commission, who as
sert that it would afford a means of
bringing about peaceful conditions in
that district.
1t was understood that France would
make representations in opposition to
the plan, Premier Brands govern
