Many fiave been severely wounded and have excited tbe people with stories of alleged Polish brutalities. The refugees, augmented by residents t>f Oppeln, ^ Jbeld a silent demonstration parading up and down the principal streets and past the administration building. Officials of the allies, frankly tug an outbreak, say they would be able to cope with an insurgent German populace. Prince Haizfeld, German delegate on the allies' plebiscite commission, declared that every effort was being made to hold back the Germans, but that the danger was increasing hourly. "We have asked the allies to Increase their forces here," Prince Hatifeld declared. "From 30,000 to 40,000 Midlers are needed, and needed badly, • If the most serious situation is to be avoided. We fully realize what the consequences of a fight between the Germans and French soldiers would toe, and we will spare no effort to stave off an Incident which might lead to war and would certainly cause widespread fighting among German civilians and Poles." German requests that the frontier between Germany and Upper Silesia be opened and that all political prisoners held by the allies In Upper Silesia Jbe released have been granted by the allies' commission here. Decision whether the use of German government troopgwlll be permitted in Silesia, and whether the Polish frontier will be closed Is expected soon. An armored train was run from Breslau to Kreuzburg, about 30 miles northeast of here, by Germans, and Mas turned over to the allies' authorities there. The allies accepted the train, in view of the reports that the Poles planned to attack Kreuzburg. When Rosenberg was taken fey the Poles a British major, who was acting as control officer there, was arrested by a Polish leader who was formerly a police officer. Under the command of the major. The Polish lead- • er ordered the major be shot, and detailed a squad of five men to execute '• him. As the squad took its place tbe major said: "You do not dare to /shoot." The Poles lowered their rifles and refused to fire. ( . Fighting between the Italians and the Poles continued during the day I with the situation at Rybnik lncreas-1 . ingly menacing to tbe allies' forces, ac- j cording to reports received by the al- j lies' commission. The Italians are known to have lost j 30 men killed an# 70 wounded, and in I French quarters It is estimated that ! the allies' casualties since the upris- i . Ing began have been 70 killed and an unknown number wounded. , The Poles resumed their artillery attack on Gross Strehlitz and twice advanced into the city, bat were thrown - back by the Italians. Elsewhere the Poles are reported to have consolidated their positions. They are being gradually re-enforced by peasants coming t>ver the border. Reports reaching officials here say that the, Italians everywhere in the re- ' gion are expressing dissatisfaction over their failure to receive support, (n British circles the expectation is that there will be a German counteraction shortly. Berlin, May 9.-r-A statement by Chancellor Fehrenbach that the German government was preparing to dispatch reichswehr troops Into the Upper Silesian revolt area, If the allies were unable to cope with the situation . Ihere, brought the communists and Independent socialists to their feet In the relchstag in a desperate endeavor to debate the issue.

PARTY GUSH IS FORECAST Washington Ooaalp Says Administration Plan May Split Senate--Rum* blings of Dissatisfaction Haard --Senator* Not Consulted. Washington, May 10.--On the heels of President Harding's decision to resume limited participation in European councils, it was authoritatively stated that the restoration of peace with Germany would be held up pending the outcome of the reparations controversy. The Knox peace resolution, passed by the senate, has been sidetracked Indefinitely In the house, and It was learned that house leaders are acting in accord with the desire of the administration in deferring action on the resolution which the senate made such baste to adopt. Dissatisfaction among Republican senators, particularly the irreconsllables, over the President's note to the allies Increased to a feeling of Intense but carefully repressed Indignation when they learned that administration influences were at work against the Knox resolution in the house. Notwithstanding rumblit.gs of dissatisfaction the administration went Its way unperturbed by any senatorial criticism that may have found its way to the White House or State department. The State department prepared instructions to Ambassador Wallace at Paris, and Roland W. Boyden to re- , sume their posts as unofficial observers for the American government at the conference of ambassadors and reparations commission respectively. George Harvey, ambassador to Great Britain, .who will sit as the American representative on the allied supreme council, will receive his instructions when he arrives In London next week. There were no Republican senatorial outbursts for publication. Senators felt their 1 lands tied In more ways than one. The Johnson-Borah faction didn't want to set off the explosion because they feared it would be said they were hunting for trouble with the administration. "Old Guardsmen" were restrained by. their traditional adherence to party unity. Furthermore, they realized that the senate, at the present moment, was entirely powerless, and that nothing could be said or done to change the situation. It was predicted, however, that the policy mapped out by Harding's note must inevitably lead to a clash between the senate, or at least a portion of it, and the administration. One of the most prominent of the Republican leaders of the conservative wing declared that the participation outlined by the President would entangle the United States in the broils of Europe as certainly as If the Versailles treaty, with the league covenant Included, had been ratified. In this connection they recalled President Harding's own vigorous support, while a member of the foreign relations committee, of the Fall amendment to keep the United States out of the reparations commission. Sooner or later, they thought, the American participation in the reparations controversy must produce a development that would require the United States to take an affirmative stand and bring the whole issue of International policy again before the senate. 8ome resentment was felt that President Harding bad not consulted the senate before accepting the allied invitation to reswie participation In their councils, although all admitted that the President was acting entirely within his authority. So far as could be learned, no senator knew anything of the President's Intentions until the note was given to the press for publication. The belief was widespread among senators that the President had been Influenced largely by Secretary of Stn'e Hughes and Secretary of Commerce Hoover, both of whom have been contending for months that the United States must take part In the world-wide economic readjustipents growing out of the war. * ' AHEAD INDIANAPOLIS NEWS. -- VWlLlAM#-. BUDGET BILL PASSED Measurr Is Approved toy the House. 8enate Haa Already Approved 8lmilar Legislation--Representative Good Hits Spoils System. Washington, May 7.--By a vote of 344 to 9, the house passed the budget bill. The senate already had passed similar legislation. The. difference between the two bouses will be adjusted In conference.

FLY HIPERUL GERKUN FUG Appear* to *e Repetition ofthe experiences of D'Annunzio and Zei£r; goweM at Flume and Vitna on - '* Larger Seals. Batibor, May 11.--Former tinman army officers have taken charge of the district on the west bank of the Oder, in this section of Upper Silesia, and are issuing rifles, furnishing machine guns, drilling the population and garrisoning the town. The French and Italian troops are being Ignored, and are remaining neutral on guard duty, while the entire east bank of the Oder, as far north as Krappitz, is in possession of the Poles. The Germans have commandeered automobiles and established courier service. The Headquarters staff has requisitioned barracks and is accepting volunteers, who have been so numerous that guns were issued to only three men In every fifteen. At Krappitz, a huge flag of the German empire is flying above tbe market place, over the heads of * the small French force there. % The French and Italians in Ratlbor have been on constant guard duty for three days without sleep, although they have taken no active part In the fighting, which has been going on steadily since 6 p. m. Sunday, when the Poles began a heavy machine gun add rifle fire, the bullets raking the street leading from the bridge over the Oder to the railway station. A group of Italians crouched behind a brick barricade on the bridge, bullets striking about them. The commander of the Italians, with his troops, said: '/ , "We are not fighting now, we are being fought. You can see that, bat heaven help the Poles, if they come over this bridge." The Italians have 500 men here. The French have 150 men, who the Germans claim, are not co-operating, giving contradictory orders. Froyi all accounts, civil war now is spreading throughout Upper Silesia, the Germans having organized locally to repulse the Invaders. So far, the German government has refused to send government troops-to assist the Silesian Germans, but it is feared here thut its resistance (cannot last long If the supreme council of the allies does not afford relief from the situation the Poles have created In vain of the council's orders. It Is considered here that French and Polish official circles can hardly continue to sustain the claim that German propagandists have greatly exaggerated the situation, which is regarded in Berlin as a repetition of the experiments of D'Annunzio and Zellgouskl at Flume and Vllna, respectively, but upon a much larger scale. Comment in entente circles indicates that Germany's refusal so far to send government troops into the district is creating sympathy for the German government In those circles, the French excepted, and the feeling appears to be growing that the supreme council will treat Germany generously In deciding upon the division of Upper SUesla. Paris,; May 11.--A Berlin dispatch says that ^the French ambassador in that, city has Informed the German foreign office that all Incursions of German government troops Into Upper Silesia would be considered by France as a violation of the Versailles treaty.
