German Methods Exposed.
1t became known Monday that last
November request was made Of the
state department by the Polish gov
ernment for the appointment by the
United States Of an American repre-
sentative to observe the alleged illegal
methods which. it was charged, Ger
many was resorting to in order to
further her designs on the territory.
In a note to the state department
of November s, 1920, the attention Of
the American government was called
by the Polish government to the pow
erful means of resistance and defense
to defeat the purpose of the plebis-
cite Germany was organizing. 1T is
of the utmost value it was further
represented. that the question wheth-
er Upper Silesia will be allowed to re-
main attached to Germany or will be
atIOLte0 TO IOlauu.
Revenge Assured-Poies.
"On that question hinges entirely the
future of German militarism, for with
out Silesia Germany is sure never to
be able to undertake her revenge.
THE Polish government considers 1t
necessary to represent this condition to
bring to the attention of the United
States that the peace of Europe will
greatly depend on the issues which the
present developments are allowed to
take by those who are called upon to
insure to the world just and peace

which America was first to lay down

In second note, in December. the
Polish government furnished the state
department with documentary evidence
Of the alleged abuses which. it was
claimed Germany was practicing i'll the
effort to bring about a vote favorable
to Germany in the plebiscite.
Among the alleged abuses there
were recalled Monday the return to
Upper Silesia of Germans from Amer
lea for the purpose of voting as re-
ported in press dispatches, despite the
refusal Of the state department to the
