Foreign Minister Skrayisky of Po- land, in a long talk with the premier jyesterday afternoon, said Poland (would not consent to a revision of ithe treaty of Versailles. In addi- |tion, Foreign Secretary Chamberlain lof Great Britain, who arrived here | yesterday afternoon on his way to Geneva, and with whom M. Herriot ed last evening at the British em- bassy, presents another problem. It lis assumed from his remarks in the ‘house of commons, that Mr. Cham- iberlain will advocate a favorable con- {sideration of the German plan for a guarantee pact which will expressly ‘exelude the latter’s frontier swith |Poland from the security it is sup- posed to provide.

Tt. was believed possible that Mrs. Gilehrist’s death might have been due indirectly to the first operation as well as to the operation under which she died. Chemical analysis of the woman’s brain showed traces of phenol poisoning, and the theory was that the operation last June may have left her particularly, sen- sitive to the phenol solution com- monly used in the face healing op- erations.
