Premier Urinnii, In response, said he favored such n meet ing, but would reserve a definite reply until the conclusion of the Chamber of Deputies discussion of the foreign situation. " Declurntlons made regarding Poland and .Silesia bv Prime Minister Llovei George, of Great Hritain, jesterdaj caused considerable irritation to French newspopers. There was little comment on the Prime Minister's words this morning, but what there was seemed severe. "Pertinax." political editor of Echo de Paris, said regarding the state ment of Mr. I.loyd George : "Plcneo give us even less. If possible, than you did In the last speech before mo jioufo ot common. The nlTnir is tOO grave henceforth tn he frunteil no u.r.. ti r.. .:..: "". ...,.. . iinc mi geiiing away ironi uiir tui-i ine i-.nience conlinie is at stake." The view taken by "Pertinnx" wns somewhat severe and was not shared In the majority of commentators, who tended, rather, to distinguish Mr. I.lovd George from Great Hritain. Thus the Figaro declared: ''The truth Is that Mr. I.loyd George has. like all great democrats, tendencies townrd despotism. He feels that re sistance mny come from the lde of France nt the next meeting of the Su preme Council, nnd even before the dis cussion Is opened he raises his voice to establish the fact that he must a'as be right. 'The mists on the horizon nre thicker than usual.' he says, and he adds that unity between the Allies Is more neoessnry than ever. This j undoubtedly true, but there is nothing to prove thnt France should again stain! the expense of thnt unity." Urinnd Refuses to Hudge France insistrt upon the execution nf the Versailles Treaty in drawing the frontier line between Germany nnd Poland In Upper Silesia, Premier Uri nnd declnred last night upon receiving newspaper correspondents. He reiterated statements he made to the newspaper men last Saturday when, answering the address of Prime Minister Lloyd George before the House of Commons on Friday, he declnred that invasion of Silesia by German troops would not be tolerated by France. The Premier said : "I have nothing to say except tn maintain strictly my viewpoint thnt France in all this controversy places nerseu on ine soie ground ot the Ver sullies Treaty. There Is no other basis of discussion possible. On the other band, France nnd England ran converse only ns equals, and Mr. Lloyd George, himself, will agree to this when the misunderstanding Is dispelled." SvtcinI Cable Dtajiatri ('T'lriwil.

Prominent men In nil branches of business and Industry yesterdnj expressed themselves as favor- said he preferred a universal observance instead of one in spots. "It menns," snld Mr. Vnuolain, "that we will all hove to brush up on our mental arithmetic. Put when you come to consider large cities like Phila delphia nnd New York, there Is no ques tion that both should have the same kind of time. There is too much busi ness between the two nnd too much traveling back nnd forth to have It any other way. The railroad time should be exactly the same, as it is confusing not only to those used to traveling, but to the' stranger who visits one or both of the cities. "Personally 1 use all the daylight that there Is. I get up at sunrise nnd stay nn as long as I can. If even body did thnt we would live longer nnd die happier.

"I think there is no doubt thnt everybody wants it." snid Colonel Lit. "While day light saving would be of some benefit to us, it would be of Immeasurably more to our workers, whose spare time is valuable to them. A little extra time to be in the sunshine would do them a lot of good. "Also the railroad systems would be helped by It. Philadelphia, New York and Pittsburgh should nil have the same time. If they all had it there is no doubt that the other towns and cities would follow filit until it became n universal proposition." Howell Ciiiumings, president o'f the John M. Stetson Co.. said there is little room for argument on the question. "Our folks," said Mr. Stetson, "nre very much in favor of daylight saving. With the extra hour that the ordinance would provide they would have much more time to w at home in the day light. I can't think of any possible objection to the chnnge. It is the con sensus everywhere, and from every point of view It is most desirable." Moon to Workers William Steele, of the firm of William Steele it Sons, builders, stated that the extra hour of da light would prove a hi on to the worker in t ii- building trades. "Wo favor daylight saving, said Mr. Steele. "It gives the men more daylight after working hours and more time tor recreation. "It means a great deal in hot weather, because the men would then hae more of their working hours in the cool part of the day. The proposi tion worked well the last time it wns tried here and I don't bee why it shouldn't again." "I think dii light saving very desir able to nil concerned," said William .1. Eldridge, of Ilnrdnick & Mngec. "This especially holds good for busi ness houses and their employes, and more especially for those w ho are able to get to the country and seashore. The extra hour in the evening Is a great advantage. Our house favors the new ordinance, as does the Market Street Merchants' Association, of which I am a member." .1. Hnrr Mull, president of the Cramp Shipbuilding Co.. stated the concern would he ginil to comply wim a dn. light -saving ordinance if passed b Council. "We shall nt once put out a' notice to the men emplo ed here, urging the Importance of coinpling with it. if passed," said Mr. Mull. We did it in P.llH and will be glud to do it again."

It is a nice question, however, whether this attitude Is neccsnrj . and whether the Philadelphia ordinance does any thing that the State law forbids.

One vacancy In this State's repre sentation exists bee'ause of the death of Alfred K. Piirk. It is believed Gov ernor Sproul Is inclined to name Iliohnrd Wcgleln, President of Council, to fill the vacancy. Tho two additional places were pro vided for in a bill passed by the Inst Legislature and sponsored by Repre sentative James A. Walker, of this city. Its purpose, was to assure Pennsylvania of odre'iiate representntlon at meetings. in the event present members could not attend through press of other duties. The nppointinent of two additional iiiemberH, however, would give Pennsyl vania a preponderance em the Joint Hritlge Commission which is preparing plans for the proposed span Unking this city with Camden. Governor Sproul is reported to hnve had an intimation that New Jersey would oppose an Increase in this State's commission membership. At the special meeting this nfternoon in the Widener Untliling n report will be received from the bridge engineers, showing the progress of the plans. It is also understood that other im portant matters relating to the bridge work will be discussed. Whether tho subject of the proposed location of the hrielge would come before the commis sion could not be learned, nlthough the general belief was that no recommenda tions would be ncted upon until nfter the enclneers have entirely completed their report nnd hnve submitted it to the commission.
