BULGARIA IN NEED
Of: AEGEAN SEAPORT
: ASK j. S. SUPPORT
Former Prime Minister Says
Country Was Betrayed at
Paris Peace Conference.

Sofia, Bulgaria, June 15.-(Corres-
pondence Of the Associated Press.)-
Bulgaria must have a territorial outlet
to the Aegean sea, Ivan E. Gaushoff, one
of Bulgaria's most brilliant statesmen
and formerly prime minister, now d
deputy of parliament. has told the AS
soclated Press correspondent.
"A more economic outlet will be of
no use to her and she has categorically
refused and will refuse, to accept it,
he went on. "A glance at the map of
the Balkan peninsula will prove that a
port on the Aegean is a matter of far
more vital Importance to Bulgaria than
Fiume is to Jugo- Savia.
We KNOW" continued NJ. Gueshoff,
that on the question of ethnic and terri

timely grateful to all those Americans
who, in the commissions appointed to
study the questions of Thrace and the
northern and western frontiers of Bull
garia. gave conclusions in our favor. We
now implore the generous help of the
great American people in the solution of
a question fraught with momentuous
consequences to Bulgaria and to the
peace of the whole Balkan Peninsula" !"

Bulgaria ceded western Thrace under
the peace treaty and the peace confer

Bulgaria off from its former port of
Dedeagatch, on the Aegean sea; but the
Allies promised her the league of ma
tions would give her an outlet on the
Aegean.
The former prime minister, who was
educated in England and who is leader
of the strong nationalist. party, then
discussed what he termed "the Allies

tionality." We were stunned said NJ.
Gueshoff. when We heard that Bulgar-
ia was condemned to lose districts the
Bulgarian character of which was
never contested and that while for GER

determination was refused the Bulgar-
ian populations which were awarded to
Serbia and Greece.

NJ. Gueshoff continued, ''it was alleged
that the Bulgarians deserved to be

faithless king had betrayed them into it.

Bulgaria the geographical situation of
Greece, the Bulgarians would have done
what the Greeks did in 1917 and Bull

NJ. Gueshoff concluded the interview
with a reference to the alleged Bulgarian
atrocities. .'As president of the Bulgarian
Red Cross society" he said, 'in January,

troll, They Say.

Oppeln, Upper Silesia, May 25.-
Correspondence of the Associated
Press. .)-German workmen in the pleb-
iscite zone are tremendously excited
over the election. Jealous patriots are
firm in the belief that Germany soon
will be on its feet again, they are dis
mayed at the possibility of Upper 81
lisia being added to Poland. Ruin of
industry and an irremediable setback to
German labor in the district Is the dark
picture they paint Of Polish victory.
Seeking the views of Upper Silesian
workmen on the plebiscite, the or
respondent asked the editor Of an 'Op-
peln newspaper to arrange a meeting
with labor leaders. The editor got to-
gether a dozen. all Germans. Here are
the principal points of their argument:
Would Be a Blow.
alliance with Poland would be a
catastrophe for Upper Silesian workmen,
as they would be deprived of the benefit
of German social and labor legislation,
such as workmen's insurance and com
pensation acts and the employees, rep
resentation In the operation of indus
trial and commercial concern
Poland is an agricultural country
and backward socially and economically.
Lacking industries the Poles have had
little experience in the scientific man
agement of mines and factories. Even In
agriculture the Poles still use the most
primitive methods and implements. in
their unskillful hands the highly com
plicated industrial mechanism of Upper
Silesia would be ruined
Labor is Undorpaid.
Polish labor is underpaid. Upper
Silesia, compared to Poland, is labor
paradise. If it becomes part of Poland,
country, reducing wage and working
standards and forcing the Germans out
of employment.
IF Upper Silesia becomes Polish it
goes with the East. If it stays German
it goes with the West and it's people
will follow in the path of the demo-
cracies., of England and the United
States"
Distrust Polish Policy.
Much was said about democracy. No
bolshevist sentiment was expressed at
ALL These Germans professed great dis
trust of Poand's foreign policy, which
they declared to be imperialistic. They
conceded that Poland was now social
democratic, but they asserted that the
Poles were such an unstable people that
their policy was likely to change over
night.
German Upper Silesans want to re-
main with democratic Germany" they
said. German workmen want to settle
down to work and restore German in
dustries. They want to show the world
that Germany can fulfill the obligations
of the peace treaty. but the war in
demnity cannot be paid if Germany is
deprived of the raw materials Upper
Silesia can supply"

Ed. Stewart Holds Down Farm

E. D. Stewart continues to assume
the management of the Langdon sub
station experimental farm, but his
removal from here to Fargo may be
looked FOR as soon as the state board
at Fargo can secure the right man to
take up the work that has been ac-
complished by Mr.. Stewart on the
farm in the past eleven years. Mr..
Stewards position, that of superin-
tendent of the twenty-four demon
stration stations over the state is
one of greater Importance in his line
of work. Langdon people are more
than glad to see the recognition
given to his services By the state.
There is however a naturally selfish
wish that he might have been able
to continue to be one among US.
