Germans Aroused In Tale That ^ ife » of Polish Diplomat Vamped Delegate Italian Minister <!barged With Accepting Smiles and fa* \ors of Beuuliful Woman in Heturn for Efforts in Obtaining l pper Silesia for Poland. Hy KVKPII.'VON WIFUAND, I niifnml vr> ire Mnff C orree port dent. Berlin. March 15.—The charges made b\ Popola !>' Italia of Home, Premier Mussolini’s personal or gan. that German I'pper Silesia was sold to Poland at the price of smiles and favors which the wife of a Polish diplomat, as a matter • if patriotic duty with the knowl edge and aid of her husband, granted to Count Sforza, former Italian foreign minister, have cre ated the greatest sensation in Ger many. Coming at a time when Germany is raising the question of readjust ment of her eastern frontiers in connection with the proposal for a security pact, this story of nuance in high diplomacy beating anything that Boccaccio ever wrote, is likely to have grave diplomatic conse q uence?. Demand Fresh Settlement. In nationalist circles the demand is becoming articulate that on tlie basis of this new evidence Ger many should demand that the de cree partitioning Silesia should be set aside and the whole question „ settled anew. In the plebiscite taken at the time under the auspices of the league of nations, Sllevia voted overwhelmingly in favor ef re maining with Germany. Never theless. largely through the switch of Italy to the side of France in support of Poland’s claims, the rich industrial area of Fpper Si vJesia, which is now going to wreck and ruin, was awarded to Poland. The explanation of this switch of Italy, through the fascination m which the beauty of Poland, famous for its beautiful and vivacious women, exerted upon the director of Italy's foreign policy, is there fore fully credited here. Polities and Romance. This is especially true in view of stories current in the diplomatic world that more than one of the men who decided f tie fate of the world ^it Versailles and later eon ferences mixed politics and romance in the division of the spoils of tlie war, and that the smiles of women played almost ns great n. part as the cunning of diplomats. According to dispatches In the German newspaper* from Home, the lady in question was the wife of the secretary of the Polish lega tion in Home, living at the Hotel IJassler. Here C mint SforziT is charged to have visited her almost daily, while her husband walked the streets until the count departed. After the departure of the count from the lady’s apartment, the story says, the Polish diplomats would assemble to hear what prog ress had been made in getting Silesia for Poland. All Returns on Income Tax Due Treasury Offeials Will An alyze Results of New Re duced Revenue Rates. Washington. Match 15.—With ail income tax returns for 1924 due to be filed by tomorrow midnight, treas ury officials are making plans to un dertake an immediate analysis of the re^uityS of tlie new revenue law' with its reduced tax rates. They expect to be able to calculate tlie funds the law will produce by the end bf this week. Officials contended while the law was under consideration that reduc tion of rates in the higher tax brackets would encourage business. The 2 per cent rate on small in comes. together with the added cut uf one^uarUtr of the r.et tax as s credit for earned income, obviously will result in a. heavy decrease in total taxes paid by the majority of tax payers, who are in the income classes of .<10,0(K» and below. Whether thi-* reduction will be offset, or nearly so, by .hi increase from the other brack ets is the ‘‘ineation officials hope to he able to answer by their analysis. Officials will be able, they believe, to use experience tables compiled from other years* returns in calculat ing the percentage of taxpayers re mitting their taxes in full with their returns. So. when the collectors re port their total receipts, and the num ber of returns the treasury will start its analysis. Taxpayers this year have an added day in which to complete the making out and filing of their returns. While the law specifies March 45 as the last date, the solicitor of internal revenue has held that the government could not compel the filing of returns on a holiday or .Sunday. Announcement was made today, however, that strict application of penalties provided b> law will be applied from the stroke of 12 tomorrow night. REINDEER MEAT TO BE SHIPPED TO U. S. Seattle-.

Washington, March 15.- The stor\ of. an (Cast African scientist who journeyed 9,000 miles to give the Department of Agriculture a sample of hog blood containing the virus of a dread disease, only to have it tossed into an incinerator, was related today by department officials. A similar fate awaited the specimen of a virus of the fee* ami mouth disease, brought by a Swiss watchmaker who desired to experi ment with it in the hope of discov ering a cure. Success of the bureau of animal industry in combatting hog cholera in this country prompted the Afri Tan scientist to ask the bureau to experiment with the virus be brought, lie explained to Dr. John It. Mohler. chief of the bureau, that the disease had caused enormous fatalities among African bogs and gave him a bottle filled with tlie in fected blood. Dr. Mohler took the Is»ttle. stepped to an incinerator and threw’ it into the flames. 0 The scientist was told that the place to study Ilia disease is Fast Africa, not in this country, where escape of tlie virus might cause damage to the hog industry. .The same explanation was given to the Swiss. FxpertaAof the bureau. Dr. Mohler said, soon will visit foreign countries where the foot and mouth disease Is prevalent to study it, $75,000 having been made available by congress recently for the work Recently. Dr. Mohler said, an in vestigator <-f diseases wrote from China asking permission to send our for study some rat-like ani mals called hamsters. The ham sters had been artificially infected with Uala a7.ar, a disease Injurious to malt. Permission to import the animals was denied. The recent outbreak In this coun tn of the Furopean fowl pest has b< n attributed by Dr. Mohler to escape ,,f some of the virus known to have been brought from France by an American Investigator.

IS nven ... Rejection of Warren Predicted Leaders \grec Coolitlge a Threat of Recess Appoint ment Has Not Strengthen ed Chances in Senate. Debate Will Be Resumed Washington, March K> Accepting President Boolidge’s challenge of a recess appointment fop Charles B. Warren as attorney general, leaders of the opposition in th*» senate lined up their forces tonight In a plan t<» bring about a second rejection of C o nomination tomorrow and* then at tempt to hold the st-nat* in session long enough to give the executive opportunity to submit another name. leaders on both sides were agreed today that the president's latest move in his fight with the new senate had not nerved to increase strength for the Warren nomination, and Its rejection by front three to six Ant** on the ballot to l>e taken at 2 -.0 p. m. tomorrow was forecast. Those directing the opposition forces take the position that, the president's Announcement 1 a’* yes terday regarding a recess appoint ment in the event of a second ad verse action by the senate raises a question of constitutional authority which transcends in importance the original issue. Future Effect Feared. Senator Tlobinsori of Arkansas, the democratic leader, was said to have voiced tlie sentiment of the opposi tion with his declaration that, while senators could not tell the exe- utive whom to nominate, the executive likewise could not tell senators whose nomination they must approve under the constitutional authority reposed in, the senate to advise and consent with respect to presidential appoint ments. There ’was no further statement to day from tlie White House, nor was there any information s* to whether " arren would 3<x‘©pt a rece«-« ri!» pointment In the ever.t } :< r..min. - tion should be r<»j#*cted again. Breei* den* t'oolfclge remained in Washing ton over the week end with wrfren, who is his guest. The present situation, without a parallel since the administration of President Tyler, was viewed • y s« at the capital as one that might have far-reaching effect in the future re lations between the executive and the present senate. • 'light I axe Salarj. Should Warren accept a recess ap pointment he could serve r»nly until the senate again assembled. Hi* nomination then would have to be acted upon by the »enat». *nd unlee* it were confirmed he could draw no sahiry for the period during which he had served. Four hi*Ui> have been set aside to morrow for debate in the senate be fore the vote is taken, with the tune equally divided between supporters and opponents. President Coolidf*. In resubmitting the nomination, made It clear to republican leaders that he desired Warren s qualification* to be fully spread upon the senate record.
