I PREPARE N FRENCTOLESIA German Government Asked to Give Safe-Conduct to Troops on Way LLOYD GEORGE IS DEFIED By Ihp Associated Press Paris, July 2.'?. Premier Briand, fol lowing n meeting of the council of i:iinisters at Itamboulllct yesterday, has dispatched n telegram to Berlin request ing that the German Government take all necessary steps to Insure safe-conduct through Germany of a new division of French troops, which it Is said in official circles, will be ordered to Sllosfa withlu n few hours. This morning's newspapers give con siderable prominence to the council meeting, which was the second to be held at Ilatnboulllet since the election of President Mlllernnd. It is tinder stood that the Slleslan question was the chief subject under discussion, nnd although the olliciat communique falls to say so, the newspapers declare un qualified approval was given tne Premier's stand after he had explained it In great detail. Ignoro Lloyd George The ministers are reported to feel that France should not retreat nn inch Instructions were sent late last night to the French Ambassador in London requesting him to tell tlie British Gov ernment that France considers it useless for the Allies to establish a Slleslan boundary without providing sufficient troops to enfoicc the provisions, and adding that France intends to dispatch another division without waiting for action by tlie other Allies, Several newspapers arc Inclined to take a more hopeful view of the dead lock of this morning nnd to believe that England will recede from her position. Decision Irrevocable The Petit Parisian says, however, that tlie French decision to send re-enforcements Is "irrevocable" and that tlie troops will go forward no matter what happens. Premier Briand is snid in some quar ters to hold the view that Kugland will consent to n postponement of the Su premo Council meeting until the middle of August, when the French re-enforce-ments will have arrived and the experts have completed a detailed report of con ditions in the Sileslan industrial area, thus allowing the council to reach n satisfactory compromise, probably based on suggestions by Count Sforza, former Italian Minister of Foreign Af fairs.'

He de clared thnt be had sold none of the stuff nnd that it had been left ot the rrtaurant about n month ago by n ninn who was there. The hotel is run by MeCullongli .S. MeCullough. The agents ninde it plain that they did not hold them responsi ble for the presence of the whiskey. Say Isabels Are Counterfeit A find considered only lesj important than the contraband wns that of a quantity of revenue stamps and whisky labels which the njents dcclure are counterfeit. Lord and McNnmarn made the posi tive statement today thnt -1000 cases of whisky had been brought from the Ba hamns by the Pocomoke. and that IIOOO of these cases are in Atlantic City, al lowing for whnt has been consumed b the thirsty populace. "IVu have lonitcl n part of the cargo. we believe," s.ud McNnmarsi, "and ex pect to raid the cache," The agents say that they hne been lroklng for another craft, known to them b.v mine, which Is supposed to be bringing nnother eaten of Ifquut to this resort The agents know the Imat and her captain and huvo been cruising off shore 'lie last few nights in an effort to catch the ship in the act of making diliverhM, Ciptuln Consents to Talk Captain Roy, of the Pocomoke, a big nnd husky "blue nore" Nova Scotian, with a bit of 411 accent clinging to hi speech in spite of years of residence in Atlantic City, consented to be "Inter viewed" for the first time today. "I'm going to tnke my ship out of here when I get the engine fixed up," said the skipper, "and repair the hole In the bow." "Where is that hole, captain?" he was asked. "Oh. well, we fixed it up a little," he replied. "In what part of the bow wa it?" "You see the boat lias been knocking nro"nd in the water n couple of cJii.ih so joii niii'i see very wen wnere we tled it. Hole in Bow Doubted The captiun was told tlie Go eminent authorities felt n bit skeptical about that hole in the bow. "I don't care how skeptical they are, whatever that means," sul( the cap tain. "They can investigate all thev want, I'm not afraid of any investiga tion." Tlie captain, who had been sketehllv uiesseu in kiiuki trousers witii one suspender, and a blue shirt, open at t! throat, earlier in tho day, got all pol ished up shortly before noon. In his gray flannel trousers, white shirt und clean shave he made n fine nppenrunce. He is burned almost black b the tropical sun of the Bahamas. "I'm going our of here when I get good and ready, papers or no papers. he reiterated. ''I may slip out tonight I have my crew nboard.

Henry F. Sowers, who declares ho Is her owner, says she was bound for Quebec when she was disabled and had to put In. So says her commander, Captain J. A. Roy, who says he jettisoned tho cargo of 10C0 cases of liquor. Roy Insists that he, not Sowers, owns tho boat coast, because it was n question of tho Scotch or my men and me." Captain Boy wnx questioned nbout a claim made by Sowers thnt women went ns passengers when the craft first sailed from Atlantic City. Sowers "Full of Soup" "You seem to know nn awful lot," the captain replied. Then he added: "No, 1 didn't have nny women nboard. I wouldn't let nny on my ship. If Sow ers says that, he's full of soup." Just then a very ornate and expen sive tourning car came up and n young man who hnd been nt the wheel got out. "That's young Harry Sowers, sou of Henry F.," said one of the crew. The youth came up and sioke to Captain Roy. The captain went nsliore. nnd the two converged earnestly for n while. The joung man denied that his name wns Sowers, saying it was Foster. When the captain was asked later if that had been Sowers he answered : "Whnt did he tell you his name was?" When told tho youth had said Fas ter the captain grunted: "Well, he ought to know his own name, oughtn't he?" Ea- to Slip Away The Pocomoke has been lying In Gnrdners' Basin, berthed between the vaehts Matthew S. (Juny, former prop erty of Senator Penrose, and the Arid strangely named to be in the com pany of tlie Pocomoke. These two craft were moved away during the morning, so that if Captain Boy tries to carry out his purpose of slipping out. pos sibly tonight, there will be nothing to stop him. The senior Sowers, whose home is in Linwood, near Pleasantvllle, nnd who insists the Pocomoke is his, no matter what Captain Roy says, is uttering de fiance of nny one who questions the legality of tlie trade the Pocomoke is engaged in. "I should worry nbout being nr rested," snid Sowers. "The Pocomoke is my bont. Furthermore, she is en gaged in n perfectly legitimate trade and 1 defy any one to prove that she s not." Sowers was seated on the cabin top of tlie schooner, and as be shouted his defianco he waved his nrms. After each sentence his "man Friday," a giant Negro, who snvs his name is Plorson Roberts, nodded assent. Roberts, who says he is tlie champion heavyweight of tiic Bahama Islands and wants a crack at Jack Dcmpsey, acted as though lie wanted to throw ashore Sowers' inter viewer. Will Go When Ready "My boat came in here because she was in trouble outside," acluimed Sowers. "She will stny here just ns long ns I want her to, nml when I am ready to give the word she will leave. I am not obligated to any one. Thnt craft cost me S'-'il.OOO. and she is n nifty vessel. When she left iiere several weeks go she was to engage in the lumber trude. There wasn't n thought ubout carrying liquor, nnd I never kno- n word about it until 1 got u wire from mv son Harry, who is the chief mate. He informed me that he had an excellent chance to put the Pocomoke in trade from Nassau, Ba hama Islands, to Quebec, nnd told un it would be necessary tn change the Pocomoke over to the Hriiih registry. I did not like thnt at all " Sowers then got up fioni his cabin top sent and In no mild terms de nounced the action of Captain Roy in daring to put the Pocomoke under the British flag. "He had no right to do that," Sow eis shouted. "It was all wrong " Then Sowers lapsed into a spell of thoughtfulness und changed completely. "What right has this (iovernment to interfere with my essel when it is en gaged in a legitimate enterprise?" he asked. Sowers was reminded thnt his cap tain hnd probably iolaied the Fed eral laws In allowing his crew coming from n foreign port to go ashore to vu rious points without having linileigone examination by quarantine oflicinls, "The customs officer was advised that the vessel was In pott." declared Sow ers. "He said he would have a pli -slciaii .examine the crew, but it wasn't done and we are still waiting. Sowers was then asked if it was true that Captain Ro had jettisoned 1000 cases of whisky because the Pocomoke was in danger. Had to Be Srnlrh or Life "Sure lie did," replied the owner. "It was a case of sacrificing the Scotch or tlie lives of seven members of tlie crew and Roy decided lie would let the Sotch go. I am here to protect Roy and also my son What they did was perfectly right. I am going to stand back of them to the limit." "Has Captain Roy made a report to you us yet," was asked. "Well, he has told me enough to prove that what he did was O. K. But to tell jou tlie truth, he hasn't been In quite the right condition to give me u full report. But I'll get the whole story. Anywuy. my son has told me every thing. Of course he knows cverthing that was done and he siijs that every thing was perfectly legal, so why can any one doubt our report of the Poco moke being in danger?" "You know It makes me blue mad when I think of the way folks have been talking about my craft. Why cou't Uy believe 111c story low oy captain oy7 AS RUM TRADER for the folks to know that he doesn't He. "The Pocomoke wns bought by me nnd another fellow two years ago In Pocomoke City, Md., nnd I will tell you something else I forgot when I first started to talk. When she left here to go into the lumber trade, besides Cap tain Roy and my son Harry, there were several friends of mine n'oonrd, includ ing ladies. Ladles dot Seasick "The ladles got so seasick that they abandoned their pleasure trip nnd were put ashore nt some port In Virginia. "When Harry wired to me lie told me that a party of rich men in Miami, Flnridn, wnnted to charter my boat for the liquor trnde from Nassau to Quebec, and then she wns, as T said before, transferred over to the British flag. I was at first inclined to call off the deal, but Harry said he would take care of my interest nnd I let it go nt thnt. be cause I wns assured that my interest in the rocomoke wns amply protected. "Now, I'll tell you something else, I haven't got n cent yet. It looks ns though something hns been put over on the old man. Better not. If it's Cap tain Roy, why he's fired, that's all." "Will you explain why you nllowed the American flag to be pulled down from the masthead?" was asked of Sowers. "No, I won't. I do not consider it any one's business why it wns done nmi, as I said before, my vessel Is going out of here when I get ready, clearance pa pers or not."

"Also wo Intended to pay our men their usual bonus on lust yenr's work, which would amount to $7,000,000 more. So, nil In nil, between January 1 and April IS we had to met obliga tions totaling $.18,000,000. Wall Street Misinformed "Wall Street wns all stirred up over the misinformation thnt we had to make u loan. The fact is, we didn't need n nickel. That's where tlie faith comes lu. Sprcnd over tlie country we had Immense (jiiuntitles of raw mate rials, parts und finished cars nnd I hnd faith. I knew, thnt our organiza tion could turn them into more tiinn enough cash to meet our needs." Mr. Ford then explained how, be tween January 11 and April 1. his company turned $21,700,000 worth of stock into cash, colloctc.l $3,000,000 owed by agents at foreign ports, nnd sold b. -products, for $.'1,700 000, besides disposing of $7.1100.000 in Liberty bonds. By economies the conipuny saved millioiin more. "We found ways to cut the time our goods were in trnnsit," Mr. Ford con tinued. "B that one move we released $2S,000,000. took it from funds invested in stock In trnnsit and put it to other uses. Thus, when April 1 came round we hnd $87,.'!0I),(M)0 to meet $.r)S,300,000 obligations. We paid them nil, weeks in advance." Mr. Ford leaned back in his chair nnd Inughcd. "And nil the while," he went on, "these New York bnnker.s were fussing around here, trying to get us to take a loan." Big Ktmomles Effected "The creation of these sums were ef fected by new economies," Mr. Ford continued. "Our economies nie big things. Tnke that item of .S'JS.OOO.OOtl released from investment in goods tran sit. We were able to do things by n combination of two things. Ity using our railroad we were able to speed up movement of raw materials to the fac tory, movement of finished cars from the factory to the dealers, better methods in tlie factory cut the time needed In the factory, cut the time needed to inanufiictiiie the material into inachines. Then we stopped carrying immense icerve supplies of raw init teriuls. The lirst economy made the second possible. "Where, before, we had $SS.OOO,000 tied up lu iiioNing ami reserve stocks te .iiiic.l tn make ll.'i.lHII) cars a month, now we handle the stock required to make 11 1,210 car n month for less than SWI.OOO.OOO. This $2S.OOO.(I(IO goes into cash account, lo be used for other pur posesas pnjins debts, for example," and Mr. Foul's intense expression gave place lo smiles. "Office ami shops also come in for n house cleaning. We went through the otlices and cut out hundreds of jobs created during the handling of war work. We literally took out n train 'nnd of desks and furniture mid sold I hem. We told the men that occupied those desks that back in the shops were plentj of good Jobs at good pnv If they wnnted to take them. .Most of theiii did. "We cut the office forces from 1071 lo .ri2s persons. Telephone extensions were cut about 00 per cent.

The motor ninn ngnin gn.ed out the window at the procession of agricultural implements and across the pond beom. If he had nny worries Ids face didn't show it.
