SLESWA FACTIONS | ‘WARNED BY ALLES Poles and Germans Informed Force Will Be Used to Suppress Disorders. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 15.—The inter- allied commission fa Oppeln, Upper Stlesis, has again warned both the Polish and German factions in Silesia that foroe will promptly be used to suppress disorders. A state of siege has been declared in the Beuthen district, where the Germans have been currying on demonstrations. Renewed agitation has been start- ed in Upper Silesia for a general atrike in protest against the decision of the cquncil of the league of na- tions regarding the region, which is increasing the excitement of the Ge: man population in the district r ported to have been given Poland, ac- cording to late dispatches. i Clash Feared. Great crowds of Germans carrying household goods and other holonfinxa are 1 from Koenigshutte, Mys- Jowitz and Kattowitz. Hundreds are &athering in Beuthen, fearing a clash when the decision of the league coun- cil is announced officially. The communists of Silesia, who have united with the radical socialists, are asserted to be taking advantage of the confusion. They are polling the laborers on the question of a strike, and have issued an appeal, which | 1 says: | “We will not be sold like a herd v 1o the entente, ‘hands off Upper of cattle, and we sa us well as to Poland Silesia." " Indignation Prevails. Johannes Lukaschek, the German plebiscite commissioner in Kattowitz, according to advices received here to- “The greatest excitement and in- dignation prevails among the Ger- man population, bit we are hoping that reason will prevail and that quiet and order will be maintained. However, should the reported deci- sion be substantiated, the Germans, and particularly, the German of- ficials, believe that a serious situation will be caused. The latter expect to be thrown out of office and probably chased from the district.” CRAIG AWAITS CALL T0 PEAGE PARLEY By the Associated Press. BELFAST, October 15.—Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, in an ad- dress here today dealing with the Irish conference in progress in London and with TUlster's position regarding it, made remarks which were regarded as a strong intimation that he expects to participate In the peace negotiations. During 8ir James' address he said he mignt .ot have an opportunity of making another public speech for some time, “as I may be engaged in most delicate operations regarding the future of our beloved coyntry.” Lips May Be Sealed for Time. “If 1 am asked to go into conr ference with the prime minister and his cabinet,” Sir James continued ed while the conference is proceeding. Remember this: Don't be over elated that dlster is up and n js down.” Sir James-said some people thought the only way to-obtain peace was for Ulster to give way in some direction. “They seem to think,” he said, “that nibbling at Ulster is like a mouse nibbling at cheese, not making much impression at first, but if the mouse goes on for a month or two the cheese disappears. That is the effect of nibbling. “Some people, too, think the only way to knock down a wall is with a battering ram. But if they take away the wall piece by piece and say it is only a little bit of brick and mortar they are taking in time the wall will go. Calls Ulster “Granite.” : “What I want to say is that Ulster fa not cheese. to be nibbled at. Ulster s rock—granite—that will break the teeth of those who try to nibble it.” Sir James said that much of the disturbance, trouble and bitter anx- ity shaking the Ulster people at pres- ent was fear that if nothing happened at the peace conference, and if it broke down, Ulster's opponents, mean- +me, would have made some plans for attacking the peaceful population of TUlster. - “I want to say regarding that—I ¢an give my word for it and can do o more—if the peace negotiations break down and if trouble be antici- pated from that event, I and my ad- visers, at all events, have taken every, precaution' that could be taken to provide against that eventuality.” MARYLAND TAKES OVER - ROAD TO KENSINGTON i Through the instrumentality of Dr. B. C. Perry, member of the board of €ommissioners of Montgomery coun- ty, Maryland, the road extending from Chevy Chase to Kensington is soon to become a houlevard highway and Washingtonians will have a new outlet to the wonderful road system of the state. roads are later called out Mr!

The state’s assumption of control also guaran tees systematic and thorough upkeep. Montgomery county officials will be be relieved of all expense of main- tenance. In connection with the tak- ing over of the Chevy Chase-Kensing- ton highway, it is announced that an entire new highway policy insuring better roads throughout Montgomery eounty has been ushered in. State | officials, in answer to the many re- quests made by Dr. Perry, have agreed to a plan whereby all ‘county roads which are arteries of traffic will be taken over by the state for fimprovement and future maintenance | as fast as the county places these highways in such shape as to con- form to state regulations, which re- quire a certain degree of macadami- gation. It is expected that eventually fully $25,000 to $50,000 a year main- tenance costs on the various high- ways of the county will be saved, Montgomery county commissioners being either able to divert such sav- fngs to various public improvement projects in the county or materially reduce the tax levies now existing.

SHORTAGE OF F00D THREATENEDIND.C. Three Railroads Would Be Immediateiy Affected by Big Strike. ‘Washington, along with the rest of the country, would feel the effects of a tie-up in shipments of food supplies and other necessities if the employes of all the big roads should be called out, local railroad men said last night. i The latest information last night was that the first strike order will call out only three roads operating through Washington—the Pennsyl- vania, Southern and the Seaboard Air Line—on October 30. Might Losxe 450 Men. W. W. Bowie, local superintendent! of freight for the Pennsylvania, esti-; mated at an early\hour this morning ! that approximately 450 employes of| his road In and around Washington | {might be lost through a strike order. | He pointed to the possibility, how- | ever, that all of them would not quit work. Mr. Bowie estimated that the Wash- i ington Terminal Company has about 1,600 men who might be affected by a strike order. The superintendent said the District probably would not suffer from a shortage of necessities if only the three roads mentioned above are in- | volved in the strike. The Baltimore tand Ohio and other roads running Illnu Washington could take care of | | the city, he pointed uot. Food Little Ahend of Needs. Just what conditions would be in ‘Washington if the workmen of all sities are not much ahead of the de- mand here. Asked if he has taken any steps yet to recruit workers to fill the places of the 450 Pennsylvania trainmen in the event they quit on October 30, Mr. Bowie said he had received no word from his company regarding the strike and has not taken action. —_— ASKS AID FOR CLEAN-UP. | Committee Appeals to Fifty-Six ' Civic Bodies to Assist.
