Premier Lloyd George's proposal for an Immediate meeting with Premier Briand to discuss the Silesian issue was rejected by the latter today and it now appears that a fortnight will elapse before formal Interallied discussions are opened. In the meantime experts will meet In Silesia Instead of Paris so that they can gather first-hand Information on the ground of the Polish German dispute. Premier Lloyd George had suggested that he meet Premier Briand at Boulogne tomorrow or Thursday to take up the Silesian matter. The French premier did not look with favor upon a conference at this time, believing that the experts should have an opportunity to study the situation and make a detailed report upon which the premiers and the supreme council could work. The French Cabinet met today to discuss the Bavarian disarmament question. No formal decision was taken owing to lack of sufficient detailed information. Germany has been given one month in which to disband the forces that have been fighting the Polish insurgents in Silesia. Great Britain has dispatched a note, couched in emphatic terms, notifying the Berlin Government that the irregular forces must be demobilized by June 30.

DISARMAMENT IN BAVARIA IS NEAR LONDON, May 31.—The troublesome question of disarmament in Bavaria has at last been successfully settled, said a Central News dispatch from Berlin today. A list of the Bavarian organizations which will be disbanded at once under the terms of the allied ultimatum of May 6 will be handed to General Nollet at once, the dispatch added. General Nollet is head of the disarmament commission in Berlin. w HEAVY TAXES TO AID GERMANS ‘COME BACK• BERLIN, May 31.—Germany has paid her first billion gold marks to the allies and today the cabinet gave final consideration to the new financial and Indus- 1 trial program which Chancellor Wirth will announce in the Reichstag tomorrow. Taxes of unprecedented size will be imposed upon the Germans, and especially upon the landholders. The “junkers,” the big Prussian agriculturists who ! were of the militarist party before the war, will be especially hard hit. The chief obstacle in the way of a complete German financial program is Upper Silesia. German officials expressed hopes today that the allies would settle this troublesome issue at the earliest possible moment so that Germany would know how much she will benefit in the future from the coal mines, industries and agriculture of Silesia. BERLIN, May 31.—Polish Insurgents attempted to cross the Oder River near Rybnik in Silesia, but were defeated by German volunteers, said an Oppeln dispatch to the Neue Berliner Zeitung today. The Poles have evacuated the following towns, all of which were subsequently occupied by Germans: Walzen, Wacho, Leschna, Zemboivitz, Borowian, Slawa and Kallnowitz. A great ovation was given by the residents of Glelwitz to the Italian and British troops who entered the city. Officers were carried on the shoulders of enthusiastic townsmen and garlands of flowers were hung about the necks of the soldiers. A similar demonstration of friendliness was given to the British soldiers of the black watch regiment who entered Oppeln. Women and children pelted the Britishers with flowers and men waved their hats and cheered.

BALKAN WAR LOOMS AGAIN; BANDS GATHER Irregular Soldiers Sweep Down From Highlands Bent on Pillage. OLD TROUBLE INVOLVED ROME. May 31. —Sweeping down from the highlands of Macedonia and Albania great bands of irregular soldiers are threatening to start another Balkan war which may involve all Europe. The fighters—almost bandits In their mode of warfare, but driven by strong nationalist feeling—entered foreign countries. Pillage and arson marked their trail. The governments thus taunted Immediately planned to raise forces to combat them. The old Balkan troubles were Involved in the fighting. Greece wishes more land to the north; Bulgaria wishes to reclaim some of the territory lost in the war, and Serbia wishes to retain her newly won 1 lands. PROBLEMS OF TWO STATES NOT SOLVED BY TREATY. Latest advices received here showed the situation is especially critical in Macedonia and Albania, whose problems were not solved by the treaties of St. Germain and Sevres. Reports showed that large bands of comitajls (irregulars) have been recruited throughout the Balkans, almost every portion of the war-torn region having contributed its share of fighting men. The governments back of them are either arming to protect their legitimate interests or are preparing to back the comitajis from their own country in an effort to extend their boundaries, officials here feared that before the allied supreme council or the league of Nations can intervene, the comitajis will clash with regular military forces and start the conflict which may embroil not only the Balkans, but spread through Europe. GREEKS OCCUPY STRATEGIC POINTS. The danger in Albania is due to the fact that the Greeks have occupied strategic points commanding the two most important Albanian cities, Koritsa and Argirocastro. while the Serbians are holding the river Drin in northeastern Albania. The Albanians, although Intending no offense themselves, are mobilizing to prevent further occupation. The most serious phase of the situation is believed to be that resulting from the Greek initiative. They claim Koritra and Argirocastro, because of alleged allied promises to former Premier Venizeios for Greece's services to the entente. Because of the reverses they have suffered in their offensive against the Turks in Asia Minor, the Greeks are extremely anxious to annex the two cities and thus reestablish King Constantine's prestige. The Albanians are determined to resist this effort. In northeastern Albania the Serbian comitajis continue to raid toward longeovuted Scutari. There is a similarly serious situation in Serbian Macedonia, where Bulgarian comitajis have been encroaching on both Serbian and Greek ter-

Mrs. Nott Collapses; Recess Murder Trial BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 31.—It was necessary to recess today because of the collapse of Mrs. George Nott, on trial for complicity in the murder of her husband. Mrs. Nott fainted while Daniel O. Ferguson, a friend of her gambler husband, was describing the condition of the latter's body as it lay in a morgue after it was recovered from a swamp, where it had ben sunk in a trunk. After she was revived Mrs. Nott was hysterical and the recess was ordered to permit her to recover.

SAYS DRY BILL WEAK, UNCERTAIN Wisconsin Governor Vetoes Liquor Legislation. MADISON, Wis., May 31—Because the Matheson dry bill is "weak, Indefinite and uncertain,” because It conflicts with the Volstead act and violates the Constitution and law of the United States, Governor John J. Blaine Monday night vetoed the bill and asked the Legislature to pass a new measure that will be reasonable and certain in its terms. Incidentally, Governor Blaine points out that a “pernicious" lobby at the Capital Is to be blamed for the Incongruous Matheson amendment, and says tho. -> Is plenty of time to enact a good, strong enforcement measure if the Legislature can free “itself from the sinister influences of the pernicious lobby.” “The bill Is unnecessarily long and involved, and for Its enforcement 'red tape’ Is given more consideration than there is means afforded for effective enforcement,” says Governor Blaine. “The Matheson bill makes no penalty for drunkenness. It loaves btalls, booths and curtains in permit places—a conditidn conducive to illicit sale and consumption of liquor and other immoral practices.” Governor Blaine said that a proper bill should suppress the Illicit sale of "moonshine" and indicates that the Matheson bill Is weak In this particular. Neither is there anything in this bill to prevent the illicit sale of flavoring extracts, for beverage purposes. Governor Blaine calls upon the Legislature to pass a “plain, definite and easily understood enforcement law." “In some essential features this bill conflicts with the Volstead act,” declares Governor Blaine. He says the Federal government has one law and the State another. There should bo uniformity in the Federal and State acts, he says. POOL SELLER FIND. John W. Ross, who gave his address as “city," was fined 310 and costs on a charge of pool selling by Judge Walter Pritchard iu city court today. Boss was arrested Saturday by Patrolman F.

PROBLEMS OF The By-Product Coking Business s.—How Domestic Coke Business Is Related to Industrial Coke Business Total Coke Production We have explained that the production of 60-cent gas was made possible only by adoption of a process which Involved a large production of coke. For every 1,000 cubic feet of gas, about 300 lbs. of coke had to be sold. For the present gas requirements of Indianapolis, complete dependence upon by-product coke-ovens would mean an output of over 500,000 tons of commercial coke a year. The actual coke sales in 1920 amounted to 487,201 tons, and a great deal of gas was produced by another and more expensive process. Even at the inception of the business we had to market 100,000 tons a year. Coke Revenue There are those in Indianapolis who think that this whole vast tonnage should be sold here as domestic fuel at a price comparable with the price of Indiana bituminous coal. THIS IS A DREAM WHICH CAN NEVER EE TRANSLATED INTO REALITY. To attempt to do so would mean that the City would be deprived of both its by-product coke industry and its cheap gas. In other words the entire coke plants would soon disappear and all gas would have to be produced by more expensive processes under which gas consumers would have to pay the entire cost of production. NO INDUSTRY CAN EXIST LONG UNLESS IT IS A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS. As previously explained, we embarked on a highly competitive industry only after we had convinced ourselves that a large tonnage of coke could be sold at remunerative prices. This Involved the manufacture of coke of a grade that could be sold at remunerative prices. This Involved the sale of a larger tonnage than Indianapolis domestic fuel buyers would probably take at any price, and it involved getting a higher average price for the total output than they would pay for any considerable! tonnage. The average prices which we have always obtained for our total output in any year have been much above the prices at which we have sold our coke as domestic fuel In Indianapolis In the same year. Yet our profits have never been excessive. Indeed they have never been large enough to leave us an adequate reserve for the present period of depression. PEOPLE WHO THINK WE SHOULD HAVE SOLD DOMESTIC COKE IN INDIANAPOLIS AT A LOWER PRICE SHOULD NOTE THAT IF WE HAD SOLD MUCH LARGER QUANTITIES AT THE SAME PRICE, WE SHOULD NOW BE OUT OF BUSINESS. Proportion of Domestic to Industrial Coke Both the necessity of finding a wide market for the large eok# output of our ovens and the necessity of getting a revenue to keep us in existence forced us to manufacture a considerable proportion of our coke for industrial purposes—chiefly to supply metallurgical Industries. The proportion of our output sold to metallurgical Industries—foundries, blast-furnaces and brass foundries—has ranged from 60% to of our total commercial coke. Even at the present time of industrial depression, when most of our customer* are nearly prostrate, a little over 60% of tl e shipments we are able to make goes to metallurgical Industries. In addition to this class of business we also supply coke to water-|ias plants and numerous other industries —the proportion of total output going to such purposes usually being 10% or more. This means that the proportion of our total output of coke selling as domestic fuel has averaged around 25%. Desirability of Domestic Trade The fact that our domestic coke business has absorbed a comparatively small part of our output and has yielded comparatively a still smaller revenue, does not mean that we do not consider It Important. We believe that a diversification of our coke business is highly desirable, and that the domestic branch of it Is Important and worthy of consistent development. How It has developed; how It has been Interrupted; the special difficulties In the way of Its local growth; and the methods necessarily employed In Indianapolis—will be the subject of further statements. fITIZENS GAS COMPANY
