BLAME IS DENIED IN REPLY OF TEUTONS French Note Attributes Clash To Negligence of Ger man Leaders BERLIN. May 23 (By the Associated Press). Reports from Oppeln say that the Germans and poles are engaged in heavy artil VY and raachine gun firing along the Oder, especially near Krap piu. Both sides are entrenching and the people in several towns are panic stricken. While reports from Upper Sil esia indicate a considerable rein forcement of both insurgent and Oerman sides, a menacing food shortage in the rebellous area and an extension and intensifying of the conflicts, Germany in a note made public today, denies all re sponsibility for the distrubance and declines to comply with the French request to forward money to pay ht miners. Germany Accused The French note, to which the the German memorandum is a reply, charged Germany with or dering too late the suppression of voluhteer forces against the upper Bllesian Poles to prevent the organisation of armed forces at Kreucburg.Oppeln .Krappltt and Ratibor, approximating some 20,000 men. It declared Germany made no effort to close the frontier al though the olish border had been closed and insisted that Germany direct shipment of foodstuffs into the rebel area and instruct the reichsbank to forward funds for payment of the miners. Authority Limited In reply Germany says that the allied forces in Upper Silesia can not supply a guarantee, although there have been many promises that foodstuffs would not fall In to insurgents' hands and that the self-defense organizations have been largely recruited in Upper Silesia as a natural result of Gen eral Lerond's failure to protect the Germans in that area. It as serts Lerond's authority extends only a few kilometres beyond Op peln. It declares that the polish bor der has been wide open, in evid ence of which a band of 300 Poles crossed near Rosenberg on May 20 and attacked the Germans at Kostau. RewponibilH Denied In conclusion the German nm points out that Germany cannot be responsible for a situation over K I Which the allies have aaxnmoH complete control and that If the Germans have armed themselves with rifles, mach?ne guns and artillery as the French note as serts, that is a question which the forces of occupation must deal with. Germany, however, nromlaeo in exercise great vigilance to prevent volunteers from crossing the Ger man frontier and say the police force on the German Sileslan bor der will be materially increased. Xote KnuineratCN Troop The French notes asserts that the German forces at Kreusebjrg number oo and are under the command of a former army offic er; that the Ratibor force, also commanded by a former army of iicer. approximates 9000 and. in addition, the Germans near Op peln and Krappitz have organ ized and armed under (he com mand of former officers.

The cooperation of every factor of American business and indus try to put the nation's hoifse in. order after the dislocation of war was bespoken by Pres ident Harding: tonight at a dinner here celebrating: the 125th anniversary of the New York Commercial. Agriculture, labor and bus iness management, he de clared, must stand together in the confident purpose, of reconstruction- He asserted that although the United States did not want to live In isola tion and selfishness, its duties to the world could best be per formed by giving its attention first to the rehabilitation of its own resources; ( Business Not, Dishonest. -Mr. Harding promued"tnat gov ernment Interference with busi ness would be reduced to a mini mnm while government co-operation with all properly conducted businesses would be expanded, fie declared bis purpose to reverse the tendency in some quarters "to regard business as dlf honest un til it should prove itself honest and t regard bigness la business a a. crime." .'- ... ..'. -.- Emphasising - the fundamental Importance of agriculture, he as serted that tbe farmer was en titled to "all the help the govern ment can give him without Injus tice to others."
