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.

This County as Safeguard to Spread
Department of Xgrieulturc Prohibits Importation of Speci
mens E\en for the Purpose of Study and Experiment
to Effect Cures—AH Destroyed at Once by Officials.
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.

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.
