"I cannot but feel that if these re ports have mlsrepresnted conditions in any part of the Soutii to the disad vantage of that section, u full und official refutation of them would be highly desirable." the President said, "while, If such Investigation should develop the need for unusual measures of relief, those could be promptly nnd Intelligently applied."

Great Britain, officials declared, Is still anxious to consider nny means by xvhich the French can bo met, but it Is em phasized thnt according to the news being received In London there Is no danger threatening the French troops In Silesia xvhich rendem tho sending of re-enforcements urgently nccessnry, ns the French hnve claimed. The note cnlls nttcntlon to' xvhnt is described ns "tho extraordinary action on the pnrt of France" In endeavoring to act Independently of the Supreme Council In insisting upon the Immediate dhpntch of troops.
