SILESIA CRISIS
Tension Between Great Brit

London Declares Today
[By The Associated Press.]
LONDON, July 3.—The tension
between Great Britain and France
over the procedure to be followed
In settling the Upper Silesian prob
lem has materially lessened, British
officials declare. Convening of the
allied supreme council on Thursday
has not been determined upon, but
In well informed quarters confidence
was expressed the meeting would be
held on that date, either In Taris or
Bologne.
Alleviation is said to have come
by the willingness of France to
waive immediate dispatch of troops
to Silesia,- provided Great Britain
associates herself with France with
a demand on Germany for facilities,
if the supreme council deem such
a movement necessary. The Berlin
government has declared its willing
ness to accede to such a demand by
the supreme council.

STOP CREAMERY
PROM SHIPPING
Drastic Action is Taken by
Board of Health at Spe
cial Meeting
TO RESTRAIN DEALERS
Last to be Received Here To
morrow Morning-No Im
provement Was Found
After Sunday morning the milk 1
coming from the Clinton Creamery
will not longer be distributed in this
city. A special meeting of the Board
Health was held last night and as
the result of the report of Health
Officer Thompson, the board voted
unanimously to refrain local dealers
from handling the product coming
from the creamery of George Clark,
of Clinton, on the ground that sev
eral inspections had shown it to be
unwholesome.
At the last meeting of the board.
Dr. Thompson reported that he had
temporarily restrained Mr. Clark
from shipping his milk here, due to
the fact that inspection had shown
his product to have been shipped in
an unsanitary condition and that
the milk itself was ditry. The bac
teria content was also far above
normal.
Clark appeared at the last meet
ing of the board promising to rem
edy -the condition, and his milk was
readmitted on probation, but recent
inspections have shown no improve
ment in either the cleanliness of the
milk itself or of the cases in which
the milk is shipped.
The latest tests and inspections
have shown the butter fat content
to be low and have given evidence
of water having been added, while
the bacteria count showed the
number to be from three to five
times above the maximum allowed
by the regulations of the Board of
Health. The total amount of
solids has also been below the re
quired standard. Sediment tests re
vealed considerable dirt and foreign
matter in the milk and inspection
of the cases demonstrated a lack of
proper care in cleansing. These re
sults were deemed sufficient to jus
tify the action of the board.

Dorsey Motor Company, which re
cently opened headquarters at the
corner of Smith street and Madi

Everyday Ad-Ventuies
That’s What You Call Service—
When you decide that you «eed a little
car in your business—and your pleasure—
and that you could use it right away—
And then you look around and find that
these little cars have pretty big prices
and you look at two or three used cars
that you’ve heard about—
And in each case, It turns out that
either the car or the price is terrible and
you begin to wonder if you’ll ever own
that little car, after all—
And then some good friend advises you
to look through the list of used cars in
the classified section of The EVENINCJ
NEWS and you do and then you make a
bee-line for the garage of that chap who
advertised that "last year’s roadster, per
fect % condition"—
And you find It’s absolutely as speci
fied and in fine shape and the price is
right—and you get it for less than half
of what a new car would have cost!

sharply when he saw that the crash
was inevitable and ran up on the
sidewalk, and by this action prevent
ed a head-on collision. Investigation
by the police showed Donovan to be

Berlin Expresses Belief That
Negotiations of Last Three
Weeks Will End With Treaty
SUBMIT PROPOSITIONS
Are Based Upon Essential
Principles in the Porter
Knox Peace Resolution
JBy The Asiorlatea rresB.l
BERLIN, July 30.—Tile Gorman
foreign ofllce expresses belief that
negotiations, proceeding for tho last
three weeks between Ellis Eorlng
Dresel, the American commissioner
in Berlin, and Ur. Itosen, the for
;cign minister, have progressed suf
ficiently to warrant conclusion that
a general working basis has been
established for conclusion of a for
mal peace treaty between Germany
and the United States at an early
date.
It is understood the German gov
ernment has assented to proposi
tions submitted by the American
state department in the way of in
formal Inquiry basen upon essen
tial principles denunciated In the
Porter-Knox resolution. None of
them, it is said, nave been opposed
by tho Wirth cabinet, which is de
clared to he urholly in accord with
the American attitude on the pre
rogatives and privileges and various
l ights uiider the Versailles treaty to
which the United States is entitled
by virture of American participation
in the war.
The informal pouparlers here have
not touched upon the economic fea
tures of the proposed treaty but have
dealt with tlie cardinal points upot.
which the United States places em
phasis in connection with its in
terpretation of tho Versailles treaty.
The question as to who shall be the
German envoy in Washington, mean
while remains in abeyance, as the
German government prefers to await
America’s initiative with respect to
her represetative in Berlin. It is a
matter of conjecture In official cir
cles whether accredited ambassa
dors will be appointed, the inclina
tion being to believe the first stage in
resumptions of relations probably
will call for naming of charges equip
ped with far-reaching credentials,
after which regular diplomatic pro
cedure will be followed by selection
of ambassadors.
Mrs. Stone Tells of Experi
ennces in Canadian Rock
ies--Husband Lost Life
SPIIAY FALLS, Alberta. July 30:
—Mrs. W. E. Stone, resting in an

echoing saved her life after her hus
band, a former president of Purdue
University of Lafayette, Ind., had
perished in climbing the mountain
j and after she had lain eight days on
j a perilous rock.
A searching party had figured out
the possible course they would take
iu ascending Mt. Eanon. From a
point of advantage the searchers had
l scoured every side, and then as they
decided to go on one member
thought ho heard the cries of a
woman.
Listening intently the searchers
heard it again. A more minute in
flection with glasses revealed far be
low the form of a woman.
One hour later Mrs. Stone was
rescued. At different periods she
iiad raised her voice with all the
vigor she had, expecting at some
time it might be heard. Dr. Stone
I was within five minutes climb of
' the top of the hitherto unsealed
mountain, the goal which he and
his wife had set. when his death oc
curred. The accident happened July
16. Dr. and Mrs. Stone expected to
make the climb, rest and then get
back to the food cache that night.

BRINGS BRIDE HOME FROM
SIDNEY, AUSTRALIA
Frank J. Ballantino, foreign repre
sentative ol the Barber Asphalt j
Paving Company in Maurer, and
Mrs. Ballantino, his bride of June,
arrived in this city Thursday from
Australia and New Zealand, where
Mr. Ballantino has been for the past
eight months. The wedding an
nouncement is one of surprise and
great interest to many people in the
city as Mr. Ballantino has spent
much of his time here and lived for
sometime at the local Y. M. C. A.
Mrs. Ballantino was formerly Miss
Ruby Ball, daughter of Mrs. George
Charles Ball, of Summer Hill, Sid
ney, Australia, and the wedding took
place in St. John’s Episcopal church

of the church officiating, two days
before they sailed for America. The
romance was the culmination of a
friendship started while Mr. Hallan
tine was in Australia after several
months in New Zealand where he
had been since last October. In nil
of the eight months not one of his
friends had received a hint as to the
wedding and hence there were many
surprised when Mr. and Mrs. Ballan

Incident of British Ruler Re
pudiating Statement is Un
precedented in History
[I'.y The Associated Press.]
LONDON, July 30:—The sensa
tional and unprecedented incident of
a British sovereign repudiating to
parliament, through the prime min
ister, statements attributed to him
in a newspaper interview is given
greatest prominence in the British
press today.
Political circles have been able to
talk of little else since Lloyd George
appeared in the house of commons
and read a statement authorized by
King George hi which he declared
words attributed to him concerning
the government’s Irish policy in a
reported interview in the United
States by Lord Northcliffe, owner
of the London Times, were a com
plete fabrication.
The alleged interview quoted
King George as saying to Premier
Lloyd George just before his majes
ty left England to open the Ulster
parliament:
“Are you going to shoot all the
people in Ireland?”
The premier is said to have replied
“No, Your Majesty.”
‘‘Well, then, you must come to
some agreement with them,” the
king was quoted as saying. "This
thing cannot go on. I cannot have
my people killed in this manner.”
The foregoing conversation ap
peared in an interview published in
July in New York city attributed to
H. Wickham Steed, editor of the
London Times, who is traveling in
America with Lord Northcliffe. It
appeared in English newspapers at
tributed to Lord Northcliffe. The
latter sent a cablegram to Lord
Stanfordham, private secretary to
King George, denying the reported
interview.
British newspapers displayed the
entire affair at great length and un
der large headlines this morning. The
papers controlled by Lord North
eliffo contained editorials calling at
tention to the denials of King George
and Lord Northcliffe.

ceived from Moscow that Russia had
agreed to release the Americana . ^ ^
‘Tlr. had not ‘decided at all thrfr

Russia,” he declared. Ho would not
have anything further to say in this

negotiations in order to realize as
sistance, according to a dispatch
from the Rosta news agency of Mos
cow received here today.
The text of the reply made in the
name of Leo Kamaneff, head of the ;
non-partisan, non-political famine
relief committee, is as follows:
“The Russian government upon
learning of the proposals made by
Mr. Hoover in the name of the
American Relief Association, finds
them quite acceptable including the
question of release of the American
prisoners
“The Russian government consid
ers it necessary to fix as soon as
possible the exact conditions on
which relations are to begin.

Maxim Gorky to the soviet mission
in London for delivery there
through the American relief organ
