These is a growing feeling that the week will bring a fresh effort to before Magistrate Orue with the un- end the coal deadlock. The miners' leaders appear to be convinced at lastful possession of 660 tales of raw that the country is behind the Government and until their demand for a national pool is dropped a settlement is impossible. The newspapers feature. Mr. Lloyd George's pointed analogy of the pool that it is the losses of the like compelling the Daily Mail to make up Daily Heald. The opinion is expressed that the leaders are veering round to the view that there ought to be a ballot and the week-end demand of Mr. Herbert Smith, president of the Federation, for an honourable settle ment is interpreted as showing that he be is convinced the miners cannot win and must find a way back to work. Mr. Lloyd George's firm stand on Saturday is expected to hasten the renewal of negotiations.
UPPER SILESIA.
ALLEGED INSIDIOUS GERMAN PROPAGANDA.
PARIS, May &
The newspapers state that the Ambassadors Conference considered a British proposal to assign the Upper Silesian districts of Pless and Rybnik to Poland and the districts on the left bank of the Ode to Germany while the disputed industrial area should remain under allied administration. A decision has not yet been reached but the adoption of the proposal is improbable.
The trouble in Upper Silesia is attributed in some quarters in London to German propaganda circulating in Silesia a report that the Allies had awarded nearly all the valuable mining and commercial districts to Germany and practically nothing to Poland, and inciting the Poles to rise against this decision, thus providing Germany with an excuse for delaying disarmament on the plea that she must send troops to Silesia to protect her
interests
