receptions by distinguished societies,

made by President Harding, in Wash
ington at 4 o clock Friday afternoon.
The three days Mme. Curie has
passed visiting the college girls at
Smith, Mount Holyoke and Vassar
have noticeably rested her. She has
traveled by automobile and passing
much time in the open air and every
where she has been greeted by hun
dreds of girls who sang to her and
pressed flowers upon her. A great
bunch of lilies of the valley, the rift
of Vassar students, she carried with
her in a basket all the way. from
Korthampton to Poughkeepsie.
Sweet Peaa Are Presented.
At Mount Holyoke a bunch of sweet
peas presented by Mary Manson.
president of the students league, was
placed carefully beside the lilies, and
to those in turn were added wild
violets, commqi mustard and dog'
wood blossoms which Madame her
elf Picked by the roadside. -
What other things Madame has
noticed beside the beauty of the
country and the wholesome fresh
ness of the girls ehe has not said.
But no one who has seen her can
doubt that her keen eyes have ob
served everything from the construe
tion of the roads to the ventilation
vstcms of the assembly halls.
An amusing story is told by Mrs.
William B. Meloney, chairman of the
ra'dium fund committee, who escorted
the great scientist and her daughters
from France.
HeatJas System Studied
Mme. Curie had not been In her
uite on the Olympic longer than a
few minutes, Mrs. Maloney said, when
she began to examine the heating sys
tem, the method by which the furni
ture was fastened in place and all the
technical details. - Some time after the
boat had started it was observed that
madame was sitting at her desk ap
parently deep in mathematical compu
tation. One of the party asked what
she was doing and the discoverer of
radium pointed out a blind string
which was swinging back and forth
with the ship's motion. ,
"I was just trying to figure out
from that," she said, "the direction in
which we are traveling and the speed
of the boat."
West Point Is Visited.
Madame Curie visited West Point
this afternoon and on her return
passed a quiet evening with Dr. Eliz
abeth Thelberg, president of the New
York State Women's Medical associa
tion and resident physician at Vassar.
Dr. Thelberg and the scientist are old
friends.
On Wednesday at 4:30 the official

GERMANY IS . WARNED
Cont1nuM From first Pae. '
It. is a startling fact that Germany
snouia oe regarded as the best in
ctrument for securing respect for its
provisions. But such is the case of
the upper Silesian situation
The time seems to be coming when
pro-German will cease to be a taunt
and become a commendation. The
danger now is felt to be that Ger
many may be provoked by the Poles
to make a plunge into war-like meas
tires without authorziation. in which
event it is fully believed that France
would immediately seize the Ruhr,
Then Premier Lloyd George's fear
of the new war would be realized.
The situation, therefore, is highly
critical unless the Poles retire within
their proper boundary, which France
alone can persuade them to do.
Premier Lloyd George in his speech
in the commons yesterday on Poland
was careful not to hint that France
liad any hand in the Polish coup, but
the Parisian press outcry against the
measures being taken to compel Po
land to respect the decrees of the su
' preme council showed pretty plainly
where French sympathy was.
The Folish action is, in effect, a
repetition of Germany's "scrap of pa
per", policy. Poland is bound by the
treaty to respect the result of the
plebiscite as interpreted by the su
preme council.
She has deliberately violated it and
France resents the suggestion that
she must be forced, if necessary, to
abide by her engagements.
But the problem is who Is to apply
the force? Britain certainly is not
sending an army to Poland or any
where else outside of her own
dominions. Field Marshal Sir Henry
Wilson, the British army chief, shows
what the military policy of this gov
ernment is in a speech which has not
attracted the attention that it de
serves. "My advice is," he said "that we
should come out of those theaters of
operation which do not belong to us
and hang on to those that do. Those
that do belong to us are only four:
England, Ireland. Egypt and India."
Then came the most significant
passage of all, read in the light of the
outbreaks of naval and military In-

BERLX, May 24. (Special cable.)
An open break between the French
nd British in upper Silesia occurred
in the course of the fighting around
Gogolin last night. So open has the
partisanship become that the German
forces which repulsed an attack made
by a Polish armored train that bad
crossed the Oder were led by a Brit

In the fizhtin- which had been
brought to the west bank of the river
bv tne Poles the insurgents were ,
driven back and blew up the bridge
behind them. The Polish losses are
set at 38 killed and 87 prisoners. The
German losses at 18 killed and 35
wounded. The ammunition, which the
German irregulars were using, it is
learned, was obtained by devious
