C—Many atrocities by American marines and the native gendarmerie were charged by three Haitien delegates who are here to present a memorial to President Hard- ing, the state department and congress, and whe demanded withdrawal of the United States forces.

Removal of $500,000 of Haitien gov- ernment funds which American ma- rines “took on board the gunboat Machias” and which were deposited in New York to “force the Haitien gov- ernment to accept control of the cus- toms houses by depriving it of finan- cial resources.” Enforced ratification on June 12, 1918, of a new Haitien constitution, with marines presiding at the ballot box, only ballots bearing the word “Yes” being issued. PLAN OF ACTION FOR SILESIA DECIDED ON Warsaw.—In the face of increasing clashes between the insurgents and Germans, Poland has decided on a vigorous plan of action in an attempt to settle the insurrection initiated by Adelbert Korfanty, with the object of joining the industrial section of Upper Silesia to Poland. The Polish cabinet has issued a statement, saying that, while the min- istry understood the patriotic motive which led to the outbreak, the gov- ernment again disapproved of the In- surrection. One problem Poland is compelled to face is the efforts of Poles to aid the insurgents, Dispatches reported 20,000 armed workmen from East Silesia had attempted to cross the frontier to assist the insurgents, but all were turned back by the Polish authori- ties. Pitched encounters between the in- | surgents and the Germans have oc- curred in the Rybnk district, where, according to Polish reports, more than 160 Poles have been killed and many wounded, while German casualties were heavier. Despite efforts of the government | to soothe public opinion, demonstra tions are being held here daily by the | labor parties, urging continuation of the struggle. Repeated demonstra tions have occurred before the British and Italian legations. $40,000,000 FOR FARMERS Loan Board Begins Distribution of Fund Obtained by Bond Issue. Washington, D.

Washington, D. C.—Announcement of President Harding's decision to have American representatives on the supreme council, the conference of ambassadors and the reparations com- mission was followed by intimations from house republican leaders that ac- tion on the Knox peace resolution might be deferred until the larger economic and other problems are settled. House leaders generally said the measure would remain with the for eign affairs committee for a month, perhaps, or certainly until the Euro- pean situation had cleared. President Harding accepted the in- vitation of the allied supreme council that the United States be represented at the meetings of that body as well as those of the conference of ambassa- jors and the reparations commission. George Harvey, newly appointed ambassador to Great Britain, will sit with the supreme council and “take part as the representative of the presi- dent of the United States in the delib- erations” of that body. Represemftation at the conference of ambassadors in Paris and the re Parations commission will be unof- ficial. The ambassador to France will be the observer on the former and Roland W. Boyden will sit in unofficial capacity on the latter. Ambassador Harvey will be em- powered to take part in the supreme council's deliberations and, it is un- derstood, will have authority to in- itiate such discussions as the president may direct. His status thus will be, different from that of Mr. Wallace and Mr. Boyden, who will act as observers. U. S.

Washington, D. C—The war depart ment slacker lists, as issued from time to time. will be published in the Con- gressional Record. Request for such publication was made in the house by Representative Johnson, republican, South Dakota, a former service man, and there was no objection. Mr. Johnson said that in his opinion, publication of the lists in the Con- gressional Record would make of them privileged documents and relieve news- papers of any liability at law in the event that names appeared erroneous. ly. —_—_—_—_—____ Would Protect Press on Slacker List.
