CRISIS HANGS
OVER CABINET
OF GERMANY
Resignation Believed Impend-
ing if Press Reports Relative
to Silesian Decision Are
Confirmed by Text.
DISORDERS ARE FEARED
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Oct. 3.-Resignation of
the German cabinet was believed to-
day TO be impending if press reports
OF the decision of the council of the
league of nations relative to the ap-
portionment of upper Silesia were con-
firmed by the Official text of the deci-
sion expected here this afternoon.
There has been little effort on the
part of government officials to con.
ceal the fact that the cabinet would
face a crisis if German towns should
be separated from the country by the
action of the league council and there
are indications that apprehension over
possible disorders has been felt in gov.
ernment circles.
Couriers carrying official texts oi
the decision are believed to have left
Geneva last night for Berlin, Warsaw
Paris, London and Rome, and the
councils solution of the vexing Sile
sian problem will be made public as
soon as it has been formally com
municated to the German and Polish
cabinets.

RED CROSS FORCED
TO DISPENSE WITH
NURSE FOR 1921

That the Red Cross lacks adequate
funds to maintain a public health
nurse for Wayne county another year
became known Wednesday when it
was learned that Miss Florence c..
Taylor, who has been serving in that
capacity for the past year, will not be
engaged for the year 1921-1922. No
plans for continuance of the work
have as yet been made, officials of the
local Red Cross stated Miss Taylor
leaves the first of November
The public health work conducted
by Miss Taylor under the Red Cross
has been carried on throughout the
county and has been devoted chiefly to
child welfare. Four principal divisions
of work have been taken up, namely,
school room inspection, health crusade
work, home visiting, and baby clinics.
The inspection of school children was
conducted only in the schools in the
county not under the supervision OF
the county superintendent. These
towns included: Cambridge City, Dub
lin, and Hagerstown.
AS a result of the school room in.
spections 16 children have been fitted
with glasses or treated for correction
of other physical defects through the
cooperation of doctors and township
| trustee, who paid some of the bills.
Results Gratifying.
Gratifying results have followed the
work, it is said. Parents where able
have responded to suggestions made
! by the nurse. In cases where limited
income and large family made it i'm
possible for the parents to get proper
i care for the child, assistance wa.
j gained through the nurses efforts from
other sources, in some cases the peopl,
of the community giving their aid
| Between 600 and 700 children wer,
examined by the nurse this past yea
in Cambridge City, Hagerstown, an,

visits were made to the children
