PARIS. July 29. (By the Associ ated Press.) Premier Briand tonight handed to Lord Hardinge, the British ambassador, the reply of France, ap proved by the cabinet this afternoon, to the latest British note dealing- with the sending- of reinforcements to the Upper Silesian rone, which was pre sented to the foreign office this morning. The British note was said to have been vigorously worded. The British note protested against the action of France in seeking to send troops to opper Silesia without acting jointly with her other allies. It reminded France that President Millerand. after the invasion of Frankfort, promised to consult with the allies in the future. The note, which consisted of m dozen pages, asked France for an ex planation of her intentions, consider ing frankness necessary for a con tinuation of allied co-operation. CO.VTROTERSY IS ACUTE OXE "Vigorously Worded" Note Sent to France fcy England. LONDOX. July 29. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The controversy be tween the British and French gov ernments over Silesia has reached an acute stage, the latest British note drafted by Earl Curzon, the foreign minister, indorsed by the imperial cabinet and handed the French gov ernment in Paris this morning, being officially described as a "vigorously worded" document. The note ascribes the present situa tion to the presentation of the French rote to Germany of July 16, calling the attention of the German govern ment to the still menacing attitude of the German defense troops in. tipper Silesia, without previous 6on-- sulfation with Frances allies, the first departure from the policy of co operation hitherto followed. The note refutes the allegation that Great Britain had set herself against the French and was thereby strength ening the German attitude. Officials describe the note as of a friendly character In "marked con trast to the attitude displayed in the French note," to which it is a reply. Officials declared that according to the news being received in London there is no danger threatening the French troops in Silesia which ren ders the sending of reinforcements urgently necessary, as the French have asserted. The note calls attention to what is described as the "extraordinary ac tion on the part of France." in en deavoring to act independently of ine supreme council in insisting upon the immediate dispatch of troops. It points out that this Is an impossible oasis upon wnicn to pursue any fu ture policy together, and that no good purpose would be served by further discussions until there was a clear understanding of France's Intentions. Italy to Withhold Troops. HOME, July 29. (By the Associated Press.) The committee on foreign affairs of the chamber of deputies today discussed the Silesian question and decided to adhere to the British viewpoint of not sending more troops to upper Silesia prior to the meeting vi me nuiHQ supreme council.

Jfaui furaticn, Kick Bobich and Nick IWiostvich, three purse-seine opera tors, were arrested by Deoutv Fish Warden Larson tooay on charges of selling iisn in Oregon without a state license. The men were arraigned in the justice court this afternoon and released on JaOO bonds each. The at torney lor the defendants refused to plead to the charges, saying he would file a demurrer to the complaints. This demurrer was expected to allege the charge against the men is in vio lation of the interstate commerce act. The arrests are the first of a series wnicn, it was. reported, will follow. until every purse seiner and everv troller. operating off the mouth of the Columbia river without an Oregon li cense, has been taken into custody. This action was ordered by the vLme auwioriiies, ana is one of the direct results of the purse seiners' contesting the regulations forbidding them bringing fish into the Columbia river during the Sunday closing period. The attorney-general held that as those classes of gear operate outsiae tne mouth or the river, they do not come within the provisions of the fisheries compact act, are "out laws" as far as the state of Oregon is concerned and when they bring their catches to the Oregon shore of the Columbia river are subject to the Ore gon law. WOOD AGREESJO ACCEPT General Will Govern Philippines for Tear, it Available. THE OREGOXIAX NETS BUREAU, "Washington, r. C-. July 29. (Spe cial.) General Leonard 'Wood has agreed to accept the post of governor- seneral of the Philippines, provided the University of Pennsylvania will give him leave of absence for one year, according to a cable message re ceived today by D. R. Williams from tne American chamber of commerce at Manila, which he represents here. The post was offered by the presi dent to General Wood some time ago, but the latter expressed doubt that he could accept. It appears now that the reason for his hesitation was that be dcubted his ability to make the necessary arrangements with the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, of which he was to become proctor within a few months. Lorace Mann Towner, representa tive from Iowa, present chairman of tho house committee on insular af fairs, it was expected, will be named vice - governor, succeeding General Wood as governor-general at the end of a year. minister today.

(By the Asso ciated Press.) Prime Minister Lloyd George In the house of commons to day read a statement authorized by King George, declaring words at tributed to the king concerning the government's Irish policy in a re ported intervljw In the United States by Lord Northcliffe, who controls the London Times, are "a complete fabri cation." Mr. Lloyd George read a statement which he said the king had authorized him to read on his majesty's behalf: "His majesty, the king, . has had his attention directed to certain state ments reporting an interview with Loffl Northcliffe, appearing in the Daily Mail, and reproduced in the Daily Express and some other news papers. The statements contained in the report are a complete fabrication. No such conversations as those which are alleged took place, nor were any such remarks as those alleged made by his majesty. "His majesty also desires it to be made quite clear, as the contrary is suggested in the interview, that in his speech to the parliament of north ern Ireland he followed the Invariable constitutional practice relating to speeches from the throne in parlia ment." After reading the statement the premier concluded: "I hope this statement may ao something to sterilize the effects of the criminal malignity which for per sonal ends is endeavoring to stir up mischief between the allies, misun derstanding between the British em pire and the United States and to frustrate the hope of peace in Ire land' The interview to which the premier referred quoted King George as say ing to Premier Lloyd George Just before his majesty left for Ireland: "Are you going to shoot all the peo ple in Ireland?" To which the premier was quoted as replying: "No, your majesty." "Well, then, you must come to some agreement with them, said the king, according to the Interview. "This thing can't go on. I can't have my people killed In tnis manners' The reputed conversation between King George and Premier Lloyd George, quoted in the foregoing dis patch as having appeared, according to the British premier "in the form of an interview which Lord Northcliffe seems to have given in the United States," appeared in an interview published in New Tork -City, July 25, attributed to H. Wlckhara Steed, edi tor of the London Times, and com panion of Lord Northcliffe on his American tour. The interview, the context said, was given by Mr. Steed the day after his arrival Irom Hing land with Lord Northcliffe. The in INTERVIEW HELD ERROKEOCS Xew York Times Says XorthclifXe Did Not Make Statement. NEW TORK, July 29. The New Tork Times tonight Issued the follow ing statement, explaining the inter view with Wickham Steed, editor of the London Times, which it published Monday, and which was erroneously attributed to Lord Northcliffe when republished in some newspapers abroad): The interview -with Mr. Wickham Steed, editor of the London Times, published in the New Tork Times last Monday, was written by a trust worthy reporter, who believes that he reported accurately what Mr. Steed said. Mr. Steed has since told the Times that it contains matter which should not have been published. Mr. Steed did not have an opportunity to revise the interview. "As reprinted in England In one of Lord Northcliffe s own papers, ac cording to the cable dispatches it appears that the interview was in correctly attributed to Lord North cliffe himself. Lord Northcliffe has not given to the Times, nor has the Times reported him as giving, any statement, of a purported conversa tion between King George V and Mr. David Lloyd George. In the interview Mr. Steed told how King George had taken a very active part in the Irish settlement negotia tions. He was quoted as having added: "It is not generally known that under the constitutional form of gov ernment the king has still a good deal of power when he chooses to use It. In this case, he has done so with good effect. At the last meeting he had with Lloyd George before leav ing for Ireland, the king asked him: ' 'Are you going to ehoot all the people in Ireland? No, your majesty," the premier replied. 'Well, then. said the king, you must come to some agreement with them. This thing cannot go on. cannot have my people killed in this manner.
