and American troops will be chosen for
that expedition from the army of oc-
cupation in Germany. The peacerak-
ers strongly hope this i'll not be nee

grave.
A three cornered fight is raging
there. the combatants being Germans.
Poles and Spariacists. which really
means Rolshevists. both German and
Polish, who are trying TO make capi-
tai out of the bitter antagonsm and
open warfare between the nationalists
OF the two countries.
The fighting in itself IS not the chief
CT use of worry. But the fighting. with
attendant strikes. is paralyzing the
SiltsiaE coal mines, and the out-ut Of
these mines is sorely needed for
Europe is facing great coal far.:ne
One of the causes is ;he delay in
the rlebiscite. The roles are impatient
to take hold of what areas they are
confident the inhabitants vote will turn
over to them. and in some districts the
impatienc has led them TO overrun
tie old borders, leading to bitter en-
counters with German inha bitants, who
are equally confident the land will re-
main part Of the empire.
