Born in Switzerland.

Staehell was born IN switzerland.
After he came to the United States
and subsequent to the son becoming
legal age his father took out natural
ization papers. The younger man,
assuming that his fathers naturali-
zation also conferred citizenship upon
him, exercised all the rights of citi-
zen up to 1917. When called for SER
vice he claimed exemption on the
grounds that he was an alien and had
never filed his declaration of intention
to become a citizen The supreme
court holds Staeheli's action in filing
declaration of intention after claim
ing exemption from military duty
cannot be used to abate the action
begun to compel forfeiture Of his land
and that it can not be held that the
declaration was filed in rood faith.
The court finds that the treaty Of
1850 between Switzerland and the
United States in no way nulifies the
provision of the constitution of this
state which prohibits aliens, except
where good faith they have filed
their declaration of intention to be-
come citizens, from holding land.
Good Faith Interpreted.
"The words good faith as used in
the constitution mean good faith to
the government. The words good
faith do not mean for the pecuniary
benefit or selfish interest alone of the
declarant," the court says. "When
he knew the government required
his service he declined to act as a cit
izen, but when the state sought to
forfeit his land, then and only then,
he sought to acquire the rights of a
citizen" it adds.

Trouble Brewing
In Upper Silesia
Over Plebiscite
Outbreaks Between Germans
and Poles Are Feared bv
All Parties, Regardless
of the Election Results

BERLIN, May S.-Whatever the out
come of the elections in upper Silesia
there will be trouble, according to the
opinion of many upper Silesian Ger
mans and Poles with whom an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent talked dur
ing an extensive tour of the plebiscite
zone. This also is the view of many
neutrals who have studied the situa-
ton.
Entente officials in upper Silesia were
reluctant to discuss the question of the
future of the great mining district,
but it is said some believe that if the
Poles win the removal of 500 of the
most active German agitators from the
district would insure peace.
The lnter-Allied Commission is now
the subject of sharp criticism by
Polish sympathizers, who complain it
failed to take the necessary measures
last Sunday to protect Polish demon
strators from German attacks.
Propagandists at Work

and German propagandists who con-
tlnually are bandyng sensational

has created a tension among the popu-
lace which, it is believed, is likely to
result in widespread disturbances. The
Poles, feeling themselves free at last
from German domination to which they
have so long been submissive, now are
vociferously venting their grievances
which hitherto they only nursed secretly
This newfound aggressiveness infuri-
ates the Germans who affect to depose
the Poles as being cu1turally inferior
to the Prussians.
The temper of the contending fac
tions is such that further clashes are
believed inevitable.
Germans Fear Polish Army
The restraining influence of the Ger
man agitators is the fear that general
disorders would cause the commission
to invite cooperation of the Polish
troops. The belief is widespread
among the Germans that General lie.
rond, head of the commission, is only
awaiting pretext to ask the Polish
government for military assistance
According to the Germans Poland has
an army near the frontier, composed
largely of Polish Americans who
fought with the American expedition
airy forces and were demobilized in
France.
The commission has not yet indi-
Gated when the elections will be held
1t is understood the commission feels
it is only fair to give the Poles suf-
! tclent time to conduct an educational
campaign among their people.

French Garrison
Massacred After.
Evacuating Urfa
General Woodward, Eyewit-
ness TO Slaughter by Turk
Nationalists, Describ e 8
the Treacherous Attack

ALEPPO, Syria, May z (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-The slaughter of the
little French garrison which evacuated
Urfa on a promise Of safe conduct by
the Turkish Nationalist troops, after
the town had been besieged for sixty
one days, is described in the diary of
General Woodward, accountant for the
American Commission for Relief in the
Near East, an eyewitness Of the mas
sacre. He escaped and returned to
Urfa after several hundred French SOL
diers had been killed or made prisoner
by tribesmen.
The French were ambushed by the
tribesmen in violation of an agreement
made by Namik Effendi who came from
Angora as the Turkish Nationalist gov
ernment's preventative, the diary
says, and promised the Frenchmen safe
conduct if they would evacuate. At
that time the French had only four
days rations left, and had eaten all
their horses and mules, and evacuation
was considered inevitable as the gar
rison was greatly outnumbered by the
enemy.
General Woodward says in his diary
that he saw the Turks killing the
French wounded on the field and that
he and an officer Of the gendarmerie
saw prisoners killed by the Turks after
they had surrendered.
"Namik Effendi agreed to protect the
Christian population, provide a guard
of gendarmerie, and a transport of
sixty camels and thirty horses if the
French would leave" the diary says.
The garrison evacuated at 1870 o'clock
in the morning.
1--WE were suddenly attacked from
the rear and from both fanks while
we were moving as column speaced at
regular intervals. The order was given
to deploy and this was carried out into
the hills occupied by the enemy, who
almost surrounded US.
The attack lasted for two hours,
the Turks having 1000 irregular troops
and one machine gun. They made a
special target Of our transport, doubt
less for pfunder. AS the firing in
creased, other tribes joined in the at
tack. Our rear guard was caught in a
trap from which few escaped alive.

rear guard cut off, and our line of de-
tense broken we could only surrender.

as the troops were irregular, and
hnally we sent messengers to the

but another party of Ku~ds arrived al

me, which we managed to do by side

II saw Kurds killing the wounded

of the gendarmerie, also witnessed
this, and he had one man marched

ROME, May 8.-Disorders arose in
the Chamber Of Deputies yesterday
during debate on the governments
foreign policy, and prevented the TAX
ing of a vote of confidence in Premier
Nitti's Cabinet.
Negotiations conducted by the
Premier at the San Reno conference,
especially regarding the Adriatic ques-
ton, were made the basis for sharp
criticism by Deputies Federzoni, Ma
.tionalist, and di Cesare, follower of
Baron Sonnino, Foreign Minister in
the Orlando Cabinet. Other speake RS
joined in the attack, which gradually
changed into criticism of the whole
policy Of the government.
Deputy Bomtacci, Socialist, was bit

nearly came to blows with neighbor-

Poles May Driue
Reds to MOscOlU
Cen. Pilsudski's Posi-
ton More Secure as
Allies Unite in Drive
From The Tribunc,s Washington Bureau

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 8.-Belief here
that the Polish armies will succeed in
driving the Bolsheviki back upon
Moscow was strengthened by informa-
tion reaching Washington to-day of
the activity of the forces under Cen
eral Pilsudski.
The Polish military situation, these
advices indicate, is rapidly becoming
more secure, with the French gov
ernment constantly furnishing war
materials to the Poles and the forces
of Ukrainia, Lettonia and Esthonia
working in concert against the Red
armies.
Military intelligence emphasizes the
fact that the Soviet propagandists are
more to be feared than the military
forces Of the Russian government.
Constant work is being done by the
Soviet authorities to poison the minds
of the Polish adherents in the north
ern portion of the new republic, and
stress is being laid on the hope that
converts to the Red cause may be
won among the Lithuanians in the
North Baltic provinces.
The Polish line as constituted to-
day runs from the Gulf of Finland to
the Black Sea, with the Lettonian
and Esthonian troops holding their
own on the northern bank, and the
Polish and Ukrainian troops furnish
ing the advancing columns in the
south.
The present objective of the Polish
forces is the Dnieper River, with Kiev
the point to be sought next. If great
Bolshevik pressure on the north de-
velops, the Polish plan is to advance
directly eastward, in conjunction with
the Ukrainian forces. Politically, the
reports indicate, Poland has given as
surance to the Ukrainians to permit
them to constitute a free government.
With ukrania cooperating with the
Poles, observers here believe that the
anti-Bolshevik forces will be assured
of adequate subsistence from the
granaries of the Ukraine for a long
campaign against the enemy. Efforts
are being made to win the support of
the Don Cossacks against the Bolshe-
Wiki, thus enabling the anti-Soviet
forces to have united front against
the enemy in successfully combating
the inroads they are making in the Bal
tic and south Russian territory
Recent advices on the military
show that the Poles alone have $4,000
excellent. This force, official advices
indicate, is we'll equipped with NUM-
tions and subsistence and is pre-
pared to make determined stand
against the Soviet armies. Meager in
formation reaching here on the
strength of the Bolshevik armies in
dicates that the Red armies, both mill
tary and labor troops, number between
100000 and 100000.

Under Treaty
Document To Be Presented
to Turks Tuesday Aims
to Revert to Religious
Status of Nov. /, 1914
Right of Search Upheld
Relatives of Refugees To
Be Given Full Opportu-
nifty to Find Missing

WASHINGTON, May (By The AS
sociated Press).-Provisions safeguard
ing the rights Of minority populations
make up large portion of the Turk
ish treaty Of peace. A summary Of the
treaty, which will be handed to the
Turkish delegation in Paris Tuesday
was received here today.
Fourteen articles Of the treaty are
devoted to protection of the Armeni-
ans, Greeks and other minority popu-
lations which under the pact will re-
main with the new boundaries of T'ur-
key. In general these articles follow
the lines of the treaty of June g. 1919
between the Allied powers and Poland
for protection of the Polish minority
peoples.
One Of the things Turkey agrees to
do under the treaty is TO annul all
conversions to Islam which have oc-
CURED between November /, 1914, and
the coming into effect of the treaty
The nation of the Sultan also under
takes to assist in the recovery of men,
women and children of wholly or part
~ non -Moslem parentage who have
adopted the lslamic faith since Novem
Der /, 1914, ando who are claimed by
their families or communities.
Right of Search Granted
The fullest right of search for lost
persons in private houses and institu.
tions is conceded, the search to be car.
rled out by representative of the
community affected, an ocial of the
tive Of the league of nations.
Such reciprocal and voluntary emf
grafton of persons belonging to racial
minorities as the Allied powers NAV
consider opportune is recognized by the
Turkish government, which agrees Ia
adhere to the treaty between Greece
and Bulgaria of last November relating
to reciprocal emigration.
Turkish subjects of non-Turkish
race, such as Armenians and Greeks,
who have been driven from their home 5
by fear of massacre or any other form
of pressure during the war, are to be
permitted to return to their homes and
assist in the recovery of their prop
erty and establishment of business.
Guarantees Lodged in League
Racial minorities are given freedom
to establish, manage and control char
liable, religious and social institutions,
schools and other educational estab-
lishments, right previously exercised
exclusively by the Turkish government.
Guarantees concerning the minority
populations are lodged in the league
of nations.
Other provisions Of the treaty fol-
low closely the original draft as drawn
up by the supreme council in London
in February.
The most substantial change made By
the Allied Premiers at their San Reno
meeting in the draft formulated at Lon
don in February provides further limita-
tions on the power of the Sultan in
Constantinople. The exact nature Of
