The Silesian Prize
By William G. Dreher
Berlin Correspondent of the Tribune
TIME Upper Slesian coalfeld is one of

TIME Upper Silesian coalfeld is one of
the greatest in the world. It's reserve
supply is even greater than that Of the
Ruhr Essen district), and hence greater
than any other field on the Continent There
is more coal there than in all the British
Islands, taking the whole field, including
Poland and Gaica. 1t has been estimated by
experts to contain 166 billion TONS Some So
per cent Of this deposit lies in Silesia, 8 per
cent in Poland proper, and about 80 per cent
in what was hitherto Austrian territory. AS
this latter falls to Poland that country could
begin it's revived exstencewith quite enor-
nous reserve coal supply, even without that
of Upper S!esia.
Before the war the greatest production
(19l3) was 44,00O,000 tons for Siesia, H.
100000 for Austria and 100000 for Poland.
Thus Poland can begin business with pos
sible production Of at least 18,000,000 year,
with its own undisputed mines. Besides this,
production in the old Austrian territory
south and southeast Of Silesia is capable of
indefinite expansion. 1t is estimated that
this field will last at least 1000 years, at a
considerably higher rate of mining than has
recently prevailed. The richness of the de-
posits is astonishing. In some places seams
as thick as forty feet are found.
At present there are sixty-two coal mines
in Upper Silesia, but the number of COM
panes and individuals owning them is much
smaller Among the principal operators are
half dozen joint stock companies and sew
eral great aristocratc families, like Prince
Won Donnersmarck, Count Tiele- -Winckler,
Prince Pless, Count Schaffgotsch, also the
Prussian state. Some of the big German
owners also have large mining lands across
the frontier in Poland; the city of Sos
novice, just across the frontier, owes its de-
velopment almost wholly to German capital
1t is prosperous town of 100000 inhab-
tants, with its numerous smokestacks cutting
the horizon.
But Upper Silesia is also one of the great
est zinc regions in the world. Over II per
cent Of the worlds production of zinc is
mined here. It's production in 1918 was
10000 tons. A considerable amount of lead
is also taken from the mines. A very i'm
portant iron and steel industry is main
tanned by the fuel mined in this district, but
the iron ore output of the district has been
running down, and the smelling companies
have been compelled to bring in larger and
larger stocks of from abroad, chiefly
from Sweden and Poland.
In one of my automobile trips with the
State Commissioner he pointed to a great
aggregation of big buildings and smokestacks
on an eminence q mile away and remarked:
"There is the biggest electrical generating
plant in the world, except yours at Niagara
In connection with it is operated the greatest
nitrogen recovery plant in Germany. 1t was
built during the war"
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29

Mr.. Kitchn's demurrer misses the real
point That is that the present House
of Representatives has shown a zeal for
economy which has more than kept pace
with the reductions conceded by the
heads of the War and Navy departments.
Secretary Baker asked, for instance.
that the regular army be maintained
during 19l9-'2O at strength Of 100000
men. The House cut it's strength to
100000, and in conference has succeeded
in holding it down to $4,000. Since this
figure is only an ad interim one and pre-
judges in no way the problems Of per
manent reorganization, it represents a
welcome retrenchment. And the naval
bill will show similar economies, thought
inadvisable at present by Mr.. Daniels.
The thing of genuine Importance is
that the House realizes so completely the
absolute necessity of closing as quickly
as possible the present gap between in
come and expenditure, and thus checking
the creation Of new bonded debt. The
House leaders are entitled to great credit
for vigiantly looping off war costs. It
cannot detract from their service that
they are taking advantage Of conditions
which have made part of the expendi-
ture estimated for last winter admittedly

along, somehow reasonably sure it was
on the right track because it was on the
track some prophet or other had said it
would be on.
The present epoch is not lacking in
variety and diversity of prophets. There
fore the future is assured. Mr.. Morgen-
thau, former United States envoy to T'ur-
key, tells us with resounding assurance
that we shall be at war again in fifteen
or twenty years, at the latest. His sound
and convincing prophecy is based on the
fact that the peace conference has failed
to satisfy the demands of the multitude of
European nations.
But on the same day that we receive
this oracle and clean our guns and load up
again another prophet, Mr.. G. W. Gilbert,
noted correspondent at Paris, assures us
the peace conference has fixed things up
so that long as England and America
remain friends peace shall abide on this
earth. His sound and convincing prophecy
is based on the fact that England and
America have effected everlasting control
of the seas They have also "dug a
trench" across Europe, with France armed
and courageous on guard, so that no Huns
or men ever come from that side to
this with warlke Intentions
Moreover, according to Mr.. Gilbert, the
nations, cutting off undue and embar-
RAISING activities of Germany eastward,
will find it to their everlasting best inter
est to stick tight to the Allies, who have
the trench and hold the seas.
The diversity of prophecies offers the
widest range of choice. At peace or st
war we bound to be on the right
track, and since the prophets have spoken
with uncertain voice, we should not
hesitate to prepare for war and expect to
be at peace.

A Club for Cripple S
To the Editor of The Tribune,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is gratifying to notice change
in the attitude of the public toward the Grip
pied. The man who happens to have an arm
or leg missing is no longer generally re-
garded as helpless, doomed to waste his life
as began or as an inmate of a charitable
institution OF course the crippled mendicant
still plies his trade and cannot be persuaded
to forsake the tin cup for the workbench as
long as the unthinking passerby continues
to toss coins at him. Fortunately, not all
cripples made to suffer because of the
few who degrade themselves by begging.
The crippled beggar will some day be ban
ished by cripples union, or some other or
ganization of the disabled. The tendency of
cripples to unite for "a square deal" is in
evidence. An example of successful organi-
zation of cripples is the Red Cross Institute
Club, recently, formed to show physically
handicapped men "the way out" and to teach
them how to make the most of their remain
ing abilities.
1t is an inspiring sight to see these Red
Cross boys at their baseball or basketball
practice the athletic field adjoining~,the
training school for cripples at Twenty third
Street and Fourth Avenue. The one-armed
fellows, the one-legged men, some getting
about artificial Limbs, others on crutches.
few hobblng about result of PARALYSIS.
some with few fingers missing-asl of them
forget their disabilities when they get into
the game.
The club has seventy members, all cripples,
but all making good at something. The Grip
pie who is discouraged, out of a Job, or the
one who wants to tell his troubles to those
who can offer him constructive assistance, is
invited to apply for membership to the Red
Cross Institute Club, 81 Fourth Avenue.
The club newspaper Thumbs Up" will be
mailed to any cripple upon request.

Mad Witte Isbachs

(From The London Doitv Erpress)
The news that Ludwig III, ex-Kng of
Bavaria, is showing symptoms of insanity
will occasion surprise to nobody who re-
members the unfortunate history of the
House of Wittelsbach. King Ludwig II,
who came to the throne in 1864 at the
age of eighteen, was a dreamer, with
passion for music and for building palaces.
He was the patron Of Wagner, and one of
his forms of eccentricity was to order
performances of Wagner's operas at which
his majesty was the entire audience. His
idiosyncrasies became so marked that in
June, 1856, Prince Lutpold was appointed
regent. A week later the King committed
suicide in Starnberg Lake, and his body
physician, DR.. Gludden, was drowned in
vain attempt to save the life of his royal
charge.
Ludwig's brother, Otto, then became
King of Bavaria He too, was demented
and within few weeks of his accession
had to resign his functions into the hands
Of Prince LutpoId, who became regent. He
in his turn was succeeded by his son,
Ludwig, who eventually became King, and
is the man on whom the curse of the
Wittelsbachs has now apparently fallen
, His son, Prince Rupprecht, commanded the
Bavarian army during the war. :.

MIR. Kitchin Misses the Point

Representative Kitchin says that Mr.
Mondell's claim of credit for the reduc-
tion Of $1,000, 100000 in the totals of the
appropriation measures which passed
the House last winter, but were held up
in the Senate, is "a bare-faced fraud
upon public information" Mr.. Kitchin
argues that the rapid process of demobi-
lization has permitted cutting down the
fund for the maintenance Of the army
and that the approach of peace has also
contributed to slashing of estimates
for the navy and the auxiliary war SER
vices
The country can take satisfaction
from the fact that it is getting back
toward peace basis more speedily than
It w9s expected to in January and Feb
ruary, when the appropriation measures.
Of tho last session were drafted. But
