Germans and Poles
See Upper Silesia
AS Trouble Zone
Both Camps of Separatist
Movement Agree 1t Will
Be Bone of Contention No
Matter Which Way ItCoes

BERLIN, June S.-"Paris must take
up again the question of autonomy for
Upper Slesa," is the assertion one
hears from Germans throughout the
plebiscite area 1t is also made by
some Poles, and is the opinion, too, of
many disinterested students of the
plebscite situation. Germans and
Poles are miles apart, Of course, in
their views Of what kind of indepen-
dence 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 re-
mains German.
The idea of a separate state has long
been discussed by Germans, who have
wished to break away from Prussia
and set up an autonomous bundles
staat, like that of Bavaria and Wiirt-
emberg. The old imperalst govern
ment regarded the movement with
stern disfavor, and it made no appre-
ciable headway until the revolution
which overthrow the Kaiser. But it
was not until Upper Silesia was made
plebiscite battle-ground and the Ger
mans woke up to the possibility of the
territory being added to Poland that
the question of complete autonomy
that is. the establishment of an en-
tirely separate and independent state,
like Czecho -Slovakia and Jugo- -Slavia
became live issue.
In dread of Polish annexation. the
Germans, who contend that Upper ST.
lesia's mines and industries would be
ruined under Polish management, are
now shouting for the separation and
making a noise that is heard above all
the din of the plebiscite fight.
What the International Commission
at Oppeln is thinking of the separt-
st project is deep secret. Officially
the commissioners refuse to discuss
it. The commissions business is to
mold an election to enable the Upper
Silesians to say whether they want
their country to remain German or go
to Poland 1t is reasonable to assume,
however, that if the commissio rec

autonomy that the Supreme Council.

BUCHAREST, June 6.-This city will
become a huge communication center
for south Europe, both for wireless and
aviation, if present French plans are
carried out. The Marconi Company has
offered to build huge wireless station
in Rumania, which would handle busi-
ness from the East as we'll as local bust
ness to the West, but it appears likely
that the Rumanians will either con-
tlnue their own wireless service in
connection with the Efel Tower and
other stations in France, or else permit
the French to establish such station.
Both British and French firms, backed
up by their governments, are attempting
to arrange complete airplane service.
The French propose to connect Paris.
Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, and Con-
stantinople. in general way, with
branch services including Serbia, Bull
garia and Greece. 1t is hoped later to
extend this service into Russia.
French army aviators began last sum-
mer to establish tentative post service

veloped, but owing to its great cost

1t is estimated that the cost aver

is kept in the air.
In view of the poor conditions of the
ness men have generally given their
support to these plans
Due to the mountains of Central and
Southern Europe and waters of the
Black Sea, the Adriatic and the Medi-
terranean, practical aviation is cons
family severely tested
Flying into Russia does not present
the same difficulties. Since the armis-
tlce huge German machines carving
passengers and contraband moneys and
other articles of speculative nature,
nave made frequent trips between Mos
COW and Berlin. Now and then, these
machines come down, but it is generally
because of motor trouble. During the
bolshevlk regime in Hungary, frequent
trips were made to Moscow, though
the aviators had to cross the Carpa
THAN mountains from Budapest.
From passengers point of view,
such trips do not present any din
Guilty, once the passenger has overcome
the preliminary apprehension of dan

diminished by the new limousine type

neither from cold, nor wind, nor motor
noise.
The establishment of these wireless
and airplane communications is a
continuance of the French policy of
keeping Eastern and Western Europe
connected. 1t is due TO the French
that since the armistice express trains
have been run between Paris and War
saw, passing the intervening cities of
Prague and Vienna, and also between
Paris and Bucharest, and finally be-
tween Paris and Constantinoplc. These
three, which are known as the Warsaw,

first under French army control and
are now under commercial control Of

pany.
