By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 22.—The Anglo-French controversy which has arisen over the demand by France that allled rein- forcements be sent to Upper Silesia is still regarded by the French press in the light of a crisis. While the British reply to Premier Briand’s proposal that the supreme council meet July 28 to discuss the mat- ter has been received, press dispatches from London to the effect that Prime | Minister Liloyd George refuses to alter his position against sending reinforce- ments are prominently displayed in the Paris newspapers this morning. It is understood that Premier Briand, after a_meeting of his ministers today, will reiterate to President Millerand his position, and insist upon the heces- sity of sending additlonal troops. *- Berlin's Reply Expected.

This pewspaper also expresses surprise that the British government places an entirely different interpretation upon the communication from the allied high commission at Oppeln and urges pub- lication of the text as proof that the French reading is correct. This com- mynication, in which the British high commissioner concurs, is reported to stress the need of more troops. Speaking of the treaty of Versallles and the plebiscite which it provides shall determine the.status of Silesia, the Petit Parisien continues: Geeman Triekery Feared. “France does mot expect a fulfill- ment of the treaty except by foree. France will only be contgnted when she knows that Germany cannot re- sist, as she realizes chat if Germany can again absorb Poland and other Danube states, the horrors of last cen- turies will begin again. France has promised to defend states created by the treaty, and she alone can prevent the organization of Europe by techni- cians of Berlin, Munich and Vienna. Pertinax, political writer of the Paris, asserts that behind the divergent views of London and Paris appear two distinctly different policies regarding Germany. “Eng- land,” he declares, “is placing faith in the given word of Germany, and in a series of friendly accords ex- pects only a normal execution of Versailles treaty.” ———— TROOPS FOR FUNCTIONS SHOULD BE ASKED AT AREA Secretary Weeks Says in That Way Requests Will Get Prompt Action.

AWAITS AN DECKSONONPARLEY IAdvisory Counsel Mets ,in Tokio to Settle Part to-Be Taken at Conference. Officials here were awaiting today the deciston®of the advisory council of Japan, meeting at Toklo, regard- ing Japanese participation in the conference on disarmament and far eastern questions. The American government informed that the council is sion, and it is understood to have given reason to belleve that dn agree- ment_may be reached to join in the full d rcussion, both limitation of a: mament and Pacific problems, though possibly with reservation: Why Belgium Is Barred. The reported insistance of Belgium that she be given a seat at the con- ferente has not resuited in any for- mai statement, but it is known that the Uniteq States government is con- been in ses- ecious of no intention to depreciate the importance of that country and limited the number of those invited to the powers designated in the Ver- sallles treat as “principal asso- ciated and allled powers” for rea- sons of pragticability. It was ex- plained today that to open a con- ference to one of the minor powers would perhaps make it necessary to open it to all. It Wwas reasserted that when any nation could show its interest in far eastern matters there was no disposition to bar it 1y a hearing. gr:‘lrdl g participation by Russia there appeared no reason to believe that the invitation would be extend- ed nor a request for participation be considered by the United States, which has no diplomatic re- lations with the soviet government. Those in charge of the preliminary negotiations he e heard with much interest the suggestion that some of the troubles of the confer- ence might be obviated if such ques tions as the disposition of the Pacific 1sland of Yap and the control of Shantung peninsula were settled be- fore the delegates assemble. Al- though official comment is lacking, it is manifest that such a development would be highly pleasing to American officials and that some steps may be taken to speed these questions to- ward solution. It s considered entirely likely that to this end negotiations regarding Yap over which Japan was awarded 4 man- date by the legue of nations, may be actively resumed in the near futur: There already has been some diplo- matic correspondence on the subject, the United States taking the position that this and other former German possessions could not be dispossed of without the acquiescence of this gov- ernment, but thus far the negotiatiois have been inconclusive. The Shantung Issue. In the case of Shantung the indi- cated view of the State Department has been that any dispute over sov- ereignty should be a subject of nego- tiation between Japan and China. * Reports have reached here that Tokio is ready to undertake such a negotiation, and it would occasion no surprise in well informed circles if China were encouraged to take a similar attitude. In a broader sense, however, ft held here that the Shantung question is one affecting the integrity of China and, therefore, 18 of some concern to all of the pow- ers interested in the far-eastern situ- ation.

By the Associated Press. PENSACOLA, Fla, July 22.—Th: arrest by federal officers here this morning of Alfred Ullmann, mate of the burned schooner Viola, is ex- pected by officials to solve the mys- tery of the landing at West Bay, Fla.. yesterday of a score of Chinese and leag to the exposure of an organized attempt to smuggle orientals in the United States from Cuba througn Florida ports. The Viola, a two-masted auxiliar: schooner, went aground about twent: miles west of St. Andrews and burned to the water's edge yesterday morning. Shortly afer the schoone was discovered in_flames Deputy woods an dplaced them under arres: Lives Reported Loat. Reports here last night were that twenty-three lives were lost when the schooner burned, but officials to- day said the Chinese, in attempting to give Bay county authorities informa- tion about the disaster, apparently were misunderstood, as Ullmann sald only twenty-two orientals re aboard the vessel. Two of them, ap- parently, are still at large. The captain of the Vidla, a German named Mentcal, according to Ullmanw fled with other members of the « after the vessel was destroyed, le: ing the Chinese stranded on the beach Jlimann said he believed Mentcal spent last night in Defunlac Springs and his arrest was expected today. According to Ullmann's story, - the Viola left Havana on July 12 bou for Pensacola. There were twenty two Chinese aboard, and the schooner was to be met twenty miles off Pen- sacola light, where the orientals wers o be transferred to a smallervessel to be landed at Pensacola.

Ullmann said he boarded, the Viols for the first time the day the vess:| left Havana and he did not know. th. purpose of the trip and did not knov he was importing the Chinese.

Inasmuch as the interest has al- ready been deferred, the precedent has been established. America has had no other choicé. But it would be bad business policy to let the matter slide and allow the payments of interest and.principal to run along without any definite promise from the allies to pay within fixed periods. ‘Would Set Time to Pay. Secretary Mellon wants power to get the ailies to agree upon a time when the United States can expect payments on the interest and princi- pal. Congress alone can remit the debt.

Country Shaped by Andes. “Much of ‘Peru is occupied by the towering Andes, with few passes less than 15,000 feet high, and with numer- ous peaks exceeding 21,000 feet.
