© VOL. LXHNI—NO. 194 ment Made to the Supreme Councll—-Ex'uthne to be Drawn on a Basis Giving Equal Value to Votes Cast in Recent Plebiscite, Whether Polish or German—Experts Are at Work on the Boundary Line and May Report Today—Council Has Decided Not to Send Allied Rein- torcements to Upper Silesia—American Ambassador In- terested in Question Involving the Trading Rights of Neu- trals. Paris, Aug. 9 (By the A. P.)—M. Briand, the French premier, announced to the supreme council this afternoon that the British prime minister, Mr. Lloyd George, and he were in an agreement in principle upon the Upper Silesian boun- dary, and that it remained for the experts to draw the exact line which would be on a basis of giving equal value to the votes cast in the recent nlebiscite, whether Polish or German, and whether in mine ing, industrial or rural townships. “If one examines the result of the ple- biscite in a general - way,” said M. Briand, indicating broadly the principle the experts must follow, “there is no doubt that the German mass is in the west and the Polish mass in the east of Upper Silesia. Thus. geographically speaking, the solution is easy to be seen and even obligatory.” The members of all the delegations feel & sense of relicl ton‘ght that the thorny entanglement which has been threatening to wreck the peace of Furope has been solved by @ spirit of mutual conciliation and good will which the French and Brit- jsh premiers displayed in their private meetings on Sunday and Monday nigjts. The belief is held here that Poland and «| arrest. The experts and allied high commis- sioners met before the afternoon session of the council began to lay down the new boundary line under a resolution adopted in the morning. They are still at work upon it tonight, and may not be ready to report until late tomorrow. With rapid progress made on the all- important Silesiafi question, the confer- ence was able to take up other business on the program, beginning with the Turco-Greek situation. Mr. Lloyd George said he would put to the council two ques- tions: First, whether the time had ar- rived for the illies to offer to abfitrate; second, to what extent were the allies bound to be neutral, and where should the line be drawn on the matter of sup- plying the combatants with fighting ma- terials. : These questions are to be taken under advisement at a later session, when the Russian problem also will be discussed. The American ambassador, Mr. Har- vey, showed much inferest in Mr. Lloyd George’s questions, particularly the sec- ond, which imolved the trading rights of neutrals. Major General Henry T. Allen. with the consent of both the state and wa rdepartments, came from Coblenz at jermany will accept the settlement, al- though grumblingly, and that if disorders &hould break out they will be suppressed by the allies In the meantime the courul not to send allied reinforcements to Up- per Silesia. France had desired to des- patch additional troops to that territory, but whem the question came before the council the British and Italian delegates voted against it. General Lerond, head of the inter-allied commission in Upper Silesia, had urged reinforcements as a precautionary measure. decided the request of the ambassador so that he might be on hand to supply him with information when military questions were discussed, including penalties and . the subject of Upper Silesia. General Allen is a member of Rhineland high commission under state department nad commander of American forces of occupation under the war_ department, and is regarded as ex- ceptionally informed about Upper Silesia through American intelligence officers of high rank who were in Upper Silesia at the time of the rising, and who have sub- mitted full reports to him. the the the LETTER TO KENNEDY FROM MRS, MADALYNNE OBENCHAIN Los Angeles, Cal.

He announced that he had the aivan- tage of the besieged man, because he hal taken precautions to eat his lunchein before investing. the capitol' and remark- €dthat he had little®else except the ar- rest of the governor to oceupy his time. The governor finally sent out word a couple of hours after the luncheon that the sheriff might come into his office aad serve the warrants, but the sheriff de- clined, saying he was in no hurry ani Wwould prefer to' make the arrest outs. to aveid .any tedanical chage of int:r- % execytive business: i tactic of the sheriff was in pur- tinte the indlctments July- 20. ¥ Crowds gathered around the state house as the afternoon wore on and there was a holiday appearance with'n the structure as flashlights boomed and the hign rotunda filled with smoke.

It didn't con- cern him, and L for one, never it with him."
