PARIS TAKES UP
 AUTONOMY FOR
 ], UPPER SILESIA

Berlin, July 6-'Paris must take up again the question of autonomy for Upper Silesia," is the assertion one hears from Germans throughout the p1ebiscite area. It is also made by some Poles, and is the opinion, too, of many disinterested students of the plebiscite situation. Germans and Poles are miles apart, of course, in their views of what kind of inde- pendence Upper Silesia should have, but the supporters in both camps of the separatist movement agree that the district will be a trouble zone for years if it is added to Poland or remains German.
 The idea of separate state has long been discussed by Germans who have wished to break away from Prussia and set up an autonomous bundesstaat like that of Bavaria and Wurttemberg. The old imperialist government regarded the movement with stern disfavor and it made no appreciable headway until the revo- lution which overthrow the Kaiser. But it was not until Upper Silesia was made a plebiscite battle-ground and the Germans woke up to the pos sibi1ity of the territory being. added to Poland that the question of com plete autonomy-that is, the estab lishment of an entirely separate and independent state like Czecho-SIovak ia and ugo-Slavia-become a live issue.
 In dread of Polish annexation the Germans, who contend that Upper Si- lesia's mines and industries would be ruined under Polish management, are now shouting for the separation and making loSe that is heard above all tn din of the plebiscite fight.
 What the International Commission at Oppe1n is thinking of the sepa- ratist project is a deep secret. Of ficia1ly the commissioners refuse to discuss it. The Commissions busi- nes is to hold an election to enable the Upper Sileians to say whether they want their country to remain German or go to Poland. It is req sonable to assume, however, that if the Commission recommended to Paris reconsideration of autonomy that the Supree Council, which rejected the proposal last February, would give it another hearing.
 The most ardent advocates of sep aration are members of the German Center Party, Catholics who seek re- ligious freedom but are reluctant to secure it at the expense of Upper Silesia becoming Polish.
 Neither German labor leaders nor | mine operators in Upper Silesfa want separation except as last resort 1 Both in discu ssing the subject, term
 it the lesser of two evils.
 | But both labor and capital cherish I the belief that ultimately, if Uppel l Si1esia goes Polish or becomes a sep
 arate state, Germany will reabsorb it 1 Estimates made as to how long i l would take Germany to get Upper l Silesia back varied from five tt l twenty years As the Germans pu
 it, the orientation of Upper Si1esia i bound to be west, not east.

Cancels His Trip to
 Hay Fever Convention
Cor. John

Robert c. Mckenzie of Illinois, a veteran of exactly seventeen distinct annual Hay Fever conventions, has at last rendered his resignation. Up to this year, he thought he was going to be a life member.
 Recently he surprised his wife with the news that his business would go on as usual this summer with him tending it as he did during the win ter months. T have just learned, after three or four trials, of the greatest prevention against my usual Hay Fever attacks. Here it is! Its called Kolox. Helps me to breathe freely, my a1petites bigger, I feel great! The usual yearly appointm ent I have with Hay Fever is cancel1ed,- for life. Great stufi''

HEALTH BUREAU IS APPRECIATED
 IN PALESTINE

London, July 6.---Nathan Straus of New York. told the Interna tional Zf- onist Conference here today that the Straus health bureau in Palestine had supplied need that had been ignored for hundreds of years by a "crfn- 1nally indifferent government" and that it had become a stronghold in the life of the Holy Land" The bu- reau was established by Mfr. sStraus in 1912
 The only problem which took pre- cedence over the health question was the feeding of the hungry for which he established free soup kitchen in Jerusalem which up to now, has been feeding TOO to LOGO persons daily Members of committees returning from Palestine. he said, had told him that his soup kitchen was the bright est spot in the Holy City" The health bureau, MT. Straus said, was esta5b- lfShed to improve health conditions generally and particularly to eradi- cate malaria and trachonaa, the two diseases which were epidemic there It was intended to serve all fnhab itants of Palestine irrespective of creed, race or color and since the Jews number less than one-sixth of the total population. its work had ac- crued largely to the benefit of non- Jews.
 MT. Straus reviewed the fight con- ducted against malaria by the Health Bureau in and around Jerusalem in 1916 and 1917, which he said t.nipped the cholera epidemic in the bud.''
 Clinics were opened in five districts and injections of anti malaria lymph
 were given to all corners: while school
 children weer inoculated by nurses
 sent by the health bureau into dis
 tricts. In all 30, 750 persons were given
 preventive injections against cholera.
 Typhus lymph also was prepared and
 administered.
 More than 3S,00o persons were ex- amined to ascertain if they were af- fetced with malaria and where the re- action was positive, Quinine was given
 free of cost. The water in cisterns used for drinking purposes was exam ined and a museum of hygiene was established.
 In comba ting traciloma. MT. Straus said. the health bureau treated Al, 574 cases and an attempt was made to examine the eyes. of all children who could be reached so as to identify | that disease which was prevalent in Palestine. A hospital for eye dis eases was opened and the campaign was extended into the towns and col | on=es outside of Jerusalem, nurses be- | ing sent to various places. Aid was 1 also given to refugees when the Jew l ish population was expelled from | Jaffa, MF. Straas said that the health | bureau had proved it's efficacy and | that he hoped its services would in- crease and soecome greater in the re- | Mobilization of the Holy Land. a bless l ing to the people irrespective of race | color or religion.

The Old Year passes away.
The New Year Comes 10 us, neat and
trim.
Smiling and hlithe and gay.
The Old Year marches. bowed and gray,
Burdcned with sorrow and care.
The New lear enters the race today
With face and form both fair.
The Old Year knows our weakness, our
strength.
But he passes. no longer fair:
The New Year comes to us at length,
And with manner debonair.
The Old Year treads with solemn mcin
In faith and midnight prayer,
As he enters the dark unseen
The bells ring out on the air
The New Year acts like little child.
With whistles and horns. and drums
Dancing and prancing about the while,
Into our lives he comes.
lie comes in hope that is born of youth.
He comes to bless the old,
He comes in honor, love and truth,
And his own fair share Of gold.
