The Horror of the Rhine.

The mass meeting held on February
~, In Madison Square Garden, under
| the leadership Of Edmund Won Mach
and George Sylvester viereck, to pro
test against the employment of Afri-
, can troops in the occupied western
| territory Of Germany, has given rise
to a lively controversy in the Ger
| man language press and organixa-
tions OF this country. The national
committee Of the American Gymnastic
Union, better known under the name
OF Turner's. has sent out q resolution
| In which 1T expresses its displeasure
at the whole enterprise. which might
be Interpreted as foreign propaganda,
! or as meeting aiming at segrega-
ton. The national Office Of the
Turner's has stated, further, that it
was against any agitation which
tends to provoke race prejudice
among the American people, instead
of promoting a good mutual under
standing. national harmony and unity,
II was further pointed out that the
Turner's. by resolution passed on
May s. 1915. had expressed themselves
as AGAINST any political combination

Die Abendpost Chicago" a daily
comments on the matters as follows:
The Turner's. or the members Of

cause, and whoever has kept a clear
head and does not allow his desires
and feelings to becloud his judgment
will agree with them"
A protest against "the horrors Of
| the Rhine" was apt to be misrep-
| resented. and the continual agitation
| was in effect represented and consid-
cred as propaganda. especially since
that agitation proceeded from people
| who had indulged in political propa-
ganda, and who were to all appear
ances pursuing political purposes. 1t

The Upper Silesian Plebiscite.

Yesterday a plebiscite was held in
Upper Silesia to determine whether
that region should belong to Poland
| or to Germany. In the determination
| of international boundaries the Yer.
sailles conference encountered an sob.
stac!e in the case of Upper Silesia
with no assured basis for determine.
tion of nationality. so mixed was the
, population of that region. The de-
cision was therefore reached to leave
the question to a referendum, for
which preparations have been under
way for many months. Yesterday it
was held.
Today dispatch from Berlin states
that official reports OF the voting show
an overwhelming preponderance for
German rule. Out Of total Of $685.
900 votes cast, according to this re-
port, $4,000 favor Germany and $685.
900 favor Poland. This report is, of
course. subject to some doubt, con-
sidering the source.
1t may be that there is a preponder-
ance Of pro-German sentiment in Up
per Silesia. On the other hand, the
Polish feeling may dominate. The
hope is. however. that the plebiscite
will reveal a sufficiently large margin
Of preference to assure that the de-
cision will be broadly acceptable to
the people Of the region. A pro-Pol-
ic6
majority would be a serious misfor-
tune.
Extraordinary efforts have been made
by both sides to get out the fullest
interests have been brought thousands
Of miles under the terms Of the plebis-
cite agreement, which permitted par
ticipation by expatriated Silesians. A
group Of forty pro-Germans reached
the scene from South Africa only last
week.
Equally strenuous efforts have been
made by the allied representatives to
prevent frauds at the polls. Every
known method Of electioneering was
engaged in by the two sides. Had It
not been for the presence of allied
troops probably war would have
broken out between the factions. As
it is. there are some reports Of riot.
ing in one Of the towns Of the region
in dispute. between Poles and British
forces. 1t was the purpose Of the
allies to assure a perfectly fair refer
endum.
The great stake in this case is the
control Of the rich coal mines in the
southern portion Of Upper Silesia. If
Germany loses possession Of them
by their inclusion in Poland she will
have under her control only the Ruhr
region mines. which just at present
are within the area Of allied occupa-
ton and are in danger Of adoption"
by the allied powers in the event Of a
failure Of German reparation pay
ments. The stake in Upper Silesia,
therefore. is strictly commercial. and
there is no cause for wonder that
Germany has put such a high value
on the result.
