Briand-Lloyd George Bout ; U Part of Subtle Game. ,ND WILL BE HARMONY Election in Italy Is Regarded More Important to Europe Tlian Polish Rebellion. BY WILLIAM BIRD. (Special cable to Th qregonian. Copy right. 1921.) The Brland-I.loyd George row over up pr Silesia has all the excitement of a d'-ir fight, but must not be taken too seri ously. These arch-politicians are playing their own subtle game, but in the end a compromise will be reached. More im portant to Europe is the result of the Ital ian lections, which show the moderate socialists still have a firm Rrlp on the rovernment and are about to set to work to rebuild Italy's fallen fortunes. The "Ko Klui" of Italy, the Fascisti. who set out to smash the moderate socialists, have Deep Humiliated. PARIS. May 21. The Lloyd George Briand row over upper Stlesia Is dis tinctly the sensation of the week, and with the hoots and howls of the sup porters on both sides has all the Charm and subtlety of a dog fight, but tits importance has been over-empha sized. t: &ome ko so far as to predict the (wreck of the entente upon this rock. Others, like Le Temps, declare that il-rime Minister Lloyd George is play jing a deep frame, seeking to divide h pe ana thus ruIe tn world. 4 . Premiers Arch-Polltlrlnna. Such prophecies are interesting but i eem to leave out of consideration the lact that both Lloyd George and M. Briand are arch-politicians. As suca. f like conjurers, they sometimes try by violent gestures to attract attention ;to the hand that Is doing nothing so -rne. audience will forget, or overlook. -yit the other hand is doing. Doubtless Mr. Lloyd George Just at his moment would rather have Eng land watching- upper Silesia than Ire Jajid, or the coal strike, for Instance. And Briand finds it easier to explain what he is going to do regarding upper Silesia than what he did or failed to do regarding German rep- i -arations. Also the people should re member that when politicians talk, however heatedly, about such little matters as "eternal principles." there ; is. always a chance for compromise ,' later. -. Therefore, while the Silesia ques ,f tpn undoubtedly Is grave, and capable .of making much trouble for Europe, Mt is as yet but a teapot tempest be jtween two very interesting premiers and some' phases of it need not be taken too seriously. Italian Elections More Vital. More important to Europe is the Italian elections. It has taken one week for the returns to be completed. -The first guesses as to the result leaped to safety. At an altitude of 1000 feet the flames reached the hydrogen charged ba and. a terrific explosion followed. The wreckage fell into the bay. Balloon A-5U2 was destroyed by lightning some ' time later. In the heavier-than-air section, which includes the seaplanes, there have been several fatal accidents. The most mysteridus incident oc curred December 2S. 1917, when Ed mund J. Crowe, student aviator, left the station for an hour's solo flight. Nothing ever has been heard of the aviator or the plane. A year later a skeleton- and parts of what was be lieved to have been an airplamj were discovered in a swamp near here. Some believed the skeleton to be that of Crowe, but the identity never was established. , . June 12. 1918,' in making a short turn, a machine skidded and the right wing struck a tree. The tree, .20 inches in diameter, was broken off by the force of the impact 15 feet from the ground, and -the top fell upon the plane after It had crashed pinning the aviators beneath. The plane was wrecked, but neither avia tor was so much as' scratched or bruised. Two days later Lieutenant H. S. Alden skidded and flew directlr into the portal of a hangar. The struts and wings of the plane lodged in tha structural steel leaving Alden and the machine suspended 20 feet from the ground. Alden's only injury was a IsuKni. laceration ox tne iace. Ensign C. A. Roedell and Machin ist Mate E A. Murpba were In a crash on October 1, 1918, which is probably one of the most unique on record. While rising from the water the plana struck the masts of a fishing schooner, sheared off both spars ten feetfrom the deck, stripped every bit of rigging from the vessel and fell into the bay. Neither flier was in jured. The aviators had failed to aee the schooner as it was between them and a brilliant rising sun. 175 STUDENT LOANS MM PRESBYTERIAN PLEA Actual Merger of Various Bodies Proposed.' ASSEMBLY VOICES DESIRE Efforts to Promote Co-operation Hitherto Declared to Have Proved Fruitless. $40,140 OF AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE IT.VD ISSUED. On May 1 Loans Were Held by 192 . Men and 33 Women on Campus at Corrallis. OKEGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, May 21. (Special.) Students have borrowed , $40,140.70 from the student loan fund of the col lege since it was started in 1911, ac cording to a report compiled by Dr. W. M. Atwood. chairman of the fund committee. This year 175 loans have been made averaging 159.80. making an Increase of $17.95 over the previous average. un aiay l loans were held by 192 men and 33 women. The men borrowed an average of J63 each and the women ,52.54. , 'Mai-ch is the hardest month for students financially." said Dr. At wood. "Reports show that for the last three years more petitions for loans have been granted in this month than during any other one month of the year. More than twice as much money was loaned in March of this year than in the a:.me month last year." Losses in the ten years of the rund s existence have amounted to were so wrong that European news-1 ,ess than eight-tenths of 1 per cent. papers have been obliged to revise . thair comments almost from hour to hour as later figures were received. i ,5 To smash socialism was the real j purpose of the elections. It was felt to be an opportune time for this, as t the socialist party recently had split ; Into three parts while. the FasclsU ( had been strongly organized every- where. The Fascisti are a "patriotic" i organization of ex-soldiers, who, like t,.the communists, believe in terror- istic dictatorship of a minority They have been "Ku-Kluxing" up and down Ita,ly with much success lately and ;'. their plan for campaign was to ter . rorize the socialists Into keeping -.away from, the polls and not voting. Despite the early optimistic returns, however, ths failed to happen. The '. socialists have 125 members of the i nw Italian chamber, or only 15 fewer - than before. This shows plainly that ihe socialist hold on Italy is far from weakening, for In reality all parties concentrated their force upon them In the recent election, i . .. - , Fascisti Are Jlomilliited. ; The real result of this election was ; humiliation for the Fascist! who . failed to swamp the socialists! and " U Succeeded in electing only a handful of their own candidates, the number '.being about equal in fact to the iom- niunists. Thus Italy repudiates at - the poils the white and the red terror, . for the present at least. ' Since the election, the various so J cialist groups, the communists alone e-xcepted, have come out with declara tions of the mildest and most re '" strained tone. Evidently there is a strong determination among all the . j- major pSrties in the new parliament ;;, to co-operate in rebuilding Italy's .shattered fortunes. , ACCIDENTS XCMEROCS, WITH ' "' FEW CASUALTIES. in 'Walloon Fatalities Are First ; Lignter-Than-AIr "Section . 1 at Pensacola. , PENSACOLA, Fla May 21.

A conducted Jiarty of approximatel ' 250 English girls arrived here on the Minnedosa to take up domestic service in Ontario and western Canada. On the same vessel were more than 200 children bound for homes in every part of Canada. WINONA LAKE, Ind.. May 21. De termination to insist on nothing less than actual union with other branches of the Presbyterian church was ex pressed at the 133d general assembly of the Presbyterian church today. Speakers declared that proposals for closer co-operation with the other branches were useless and that ef forts should be made for an organic union. Resolutions adopted declare the "assembly, while willing to approve any measures which will promote closer relations with Presbyterian and reformed churches, is united and ear nest in the desire for an actual union of the churches of the reformed faith and order." . The resolutions also instructed the moderator to send a message to the assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America (Southern) at St. Louis with the desire of the assembly here for the reunion of Presbyterian and reformed churches and also expressing the hope that the assembly of the south ern branch may take such action as will not only promote closer rela tions but also secure reunion of the two bodies. Bflfy Sunday Commended. Resolutions commending the evan gelistic work of the Rev. William A. Sunday were adopted today following representations made to the commis sioners that Mr. Sunday considered that his evangelistic activities had been impugned in a committee report. The , resolution was offered by the Rev. Chalfont of Boise, Idaho. The assembly received a message from Mr. Sunday from Bluefleld, W. Va, expressing his regret at being- un able to attend the meeting in his home town. Former President Woodrow Wil son's name was cheered for several minutes when Rev. J. H. Krenck, a delegate of the Central West Bohe- mirn Presbytery of the Protestant churches of Czecho-Slovakla de dared: "We of Czecho-Slovakla shall never forget the liberating word of the for mer president of the United States, a Presbyterian elder, a leader in world affairs, Woodrow Wilson." The golden rule in daily life was advocated by James J. Davis, secre tary of labor, in a message read to the assembly. Secretary Davis had been asked for an address bearing on the possibility of the church's aiding in practical solution of the problems o( the nation. Problem Outlined by President. 'No better exposition of the prob lem that today faces the American people can be found than that out lined in President Harding's speech of acceptance, delivered in Marlon July 22," the message said. - Many ways in which tne church can help solve industrial problems will present themselves to our en lightened ministry with thoughtful study of the president's presentation. For instance, the church might well consider the organization of a na tional employment bureau and through its membership ascertain where there is demand for labor and where the unemployed may be found. Let the church preach economic and social justice, economy and thrift." Wide Open Sunday Feared. Plans of the church for carrying on its efforts against Sabbath desecra tion and against violation of prohibi tion laws, were outlined. Dr. H. L. Bowlby, general secre tary of the committee on Sabbath observance, declared that there is a nation-wide propaganda for a wide open Sunday. This movement was in augurated at Washington November 22 last by powerful amusement and sporting organizations and he added that it has had "the generous help of the daily press." Abolition of Sunday baseball, Sun day movies, Sunday theaters-and un necessary Sunday business .was ad vocated by the committee's report presented, by Dr. Bowlby, which was adopted. In addition to the report of the committee of Sabbath observance the standing . committee of temperance and moral welfare was presented to the assembly. Prohibition enforce ment problems were dealt with in the report. MISSIONARIES ELECT OFFICERS North Pacific Conference Divided Into Six Districts. ABERDEEN, Wash., May 21. (Spe cial.)

SEATTLE IS UP IN REMOVAL OF IiAXD OFFICE TO TACOMA OPPOSED. Report That Washington Plans to Make Change Prompts Com merce Body to Act. SEATTLE, Wash., May 21. (Spe cial.) After being informed that an order had been made by. the depart ment of the interior for the removal of the United States land office for the Puget sound district from Seattle to Tacoma, the Seattle chamber of commerce today telegraphed its rep resentatives in Washington, D. C, asking confirmation of the report and declaring the chamber's intention to oppose the removal, if it had been ordered. G. A. C. Rochester, register of the land office, was asked by Christy Thomas, executive secretary of the chamber, this morning whether he had heard of the proposed removal. "I have received certain instruc tions from the department, but I have no instructions to make them public," was Mr. Rochester's answer. Mr. Thomas at once telegraphed Arthur R. Priest, who is in Washing ton, representing the chamber on other business, that while the cham ber had recently gone on record as not opposing a plan the government was said to have under consideration of consolidating the office with the land office at Vancouver, Wash., at the latter city, to effect a saving of about $6000 a year in rent and other expenses, the chamber vigorously would oppose any change tht did not effect a consolidation of the two offices and that would remove the office from Seattle. Mr. Priest was asked to get figures on rentals so that Seattle could offer cheaper rent, if that was the object of the depart ment's alleged order. A special committee of the cham ber that made an investigation of the proposed consolidation of the Seattle and Vancouver land offices recom mended that it be not opposed for the reason that there was little pub lic land left open for entry in tha Puget sound district and that there fore the maintenance of the two of fices in western Washington was not strictly necessary.
