Pole* and German Civilian* Fighting In Upper Silesia—Senate Pasoea Emergency Tariff Bill—Houae ■ mitt* on Small Army— Slacker Liats Given

Out

By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Germany has surrendered again. Unconditionally and completely, she has accepted tlie demands of tlie allies, supreme council, and has premised to carry out the terms of the uitlmatum

without delay.

There had been little doubt of this result but the trouble was to flud a cabinet that would assume the responsibility and perhaps odium of yielding to the Inevitable. After several lenders had declined the Job. Dr. Wirth. minister of finance In the Fehr?nhuch cabinet andb-ader of the Geotrist party, agreed to become dnnccllur and foreign minister, selected the rest of the cabinet and hud It acquiesce tr the demands of the allies. 3 hen he went before the reichstag and said, among other things: “There Is no possibility for us other than acceptance or rejection. The vie* tors have decided. Acceptance means that we declare our readiness to hear in voluntary labor the heavy financial burdens demand •d year by .-year. Refusal would, however, mean surrendering the basis of our entire industrial activities, and. as a consequen e. dismemberment of our economic body, already so greatly weakened, and ihe I shackling of our entire Industrial life." Thereupon the reichstag, by the ra' tier small majority of 221 to 173. voted to accept the ultimatum. The German government's reply to the ul'iinauuu was telegraphed nt once to Premier Lloyd George, who wired It to alt the governments concerned. He then announced it to the house of comm ,::-;, which received the news with ch-. rs. In France satisfaction over the surrender of Germany was lessened by

guards, offering to place these under the control of French authorities. As tor the reparations. Germany cn» pay. and she wl" pay If she Is compellcd to pay. But If there Is any way of wriggling out of paying, Germany may he depended on to try It. Only III Informed sentimentalists now take any stock In tlie German walls of poverty and threatened bankruptcy: ami mighty few people have any remaining confidence In German good

faith.

Before the end of May. It Is believed. the allied supreme council will meet again, either In Belgium or Italy, to discuss the modalities for securing the reparations payments and to take up the problems of Upper Silesia. At that session of the council tlie United Stali-s will he represented, probably by Ambassador Harvey, who has ar ived In England with promises of the close co-operation of this country In the task of readjusting the affairs of Europe so far as they affect America, a: least. This. Is In accord with the policy adopted by President Harding, n polity which probably will not be changed by the attacks on It already being made by certain elements In the senate. The fight In that hotly was opened by La Follette of Wisconsin, who Introduced a resolution declaring It to tie the sense of the senate that the United States should take no part In Eurojiean affairs under the Versnltlt treaty, dt-miunrlng the pact and pointing out that It has been repudiated by the senate nnd the American [Tuple. Ambassador Wallace la Paris last wwk resumed his place In the ambassadors' council, which Is trying to .... tie the Upper Silesia embrogllo; and Rolnmi Hoyden ngnln took his old place on the reparations commission, under instructions fron Washington. At tills writing the situation in Upper Silesia appears more serious than ever, despite reports of an imnistlce and statements by Kor.nnty. leader of tlie Polish Insurgents, that an agreement with the allies hud been reached. The Germans In the region nnd near by. forbidden by the French to make ,'iir on the Poles, are making of their armed olvIHan force*

By a vote of ffl to 28 the senate lost week passed the emergency tariff bill. Only one Republican—Moses of New Hamiishln:—stood fas. with the opposition, and seven Democrats were found with the majority. The senate nnd house conferees nt once began their efforts to reach agreement, the only radical difference being over the cmi-dutnpInK and currency revaluation sections, which were rewritten by the senate committee, which also made provision for continuing the war time restrictions on ImiMirts of dyestuffs. The iiousc passed the many appro prlatlon bill, hut It refused to recede from Its determination to make the army small. The measure provides for an army of only 100.000 men. and an amendment was adopted which authorizes the secretary of war to discharge enlisted men upon their application until that limit has been reached. It Is likely there will he a nroiongrsl contest with the senate over the size of the army, mid possibly n veto by O..President if the house win*. President Harding has fixed things so the administration can to a certa'n extent use Its judgment In appointing postmasters. He ha* Issued an order affecting about 13.000 pnatofilres of the first, second nnd third classes, authorizing the selection of any one of the first three applicants on the eligible list as determined by open competitive examinations. Under an ardor '>f President Wilson tha one at the head of the list had to be appointed. President Harding said the new arrange ment was made to permit business training and experience to be considered. and so that the choice would not he based merely on “n cloistered. | scholastic examination yvhlrh might n suit in a high grade In theory, but n> U guaranty of efficiency fact."
