WINGS OF RIVAL
EAGLES CLIPPED
FOR PLEBISCITE
German and Pole Fac
tions Kept Under Con-
troll in Silesia.

Especial Cable to The wsshineten Herald
and Chicago rribuns)
KATTowITZ, Upper Silesia,
March 1i.-Neither the Polish
white eagle nor the Prussian black
eagle will play any part in the
final stages of the bitter Upper
Silesian plebiscite IL the interallied
plebiscite authorities are obeyed by
both sides.
As the vanguard of the 227
trains bringing emigrant voters
from Germany and Poland reached
the plebscite frontier yesterday
and today the warlike birds en-
blazoned on the national banners
had climbed down from the engines
and coaches before the trains were
allowed to cross the demarcation
line.
Parades stopped.
They will not figure in any dem
onstrations or parades. either, as
all public manifestations intended
as a welcome to the smigrants have
been prohibited as well as house
decorations. patriotic badges and
street concerts.
The allied authorities barred the
way to German brass bands which
accompanied most of the special
emigrant trains coming from Ber-
lin, Dusseldorf, Leipsig and Frank
fort and after melancholy parting
tunes the bands had to return to
their homes.
The Heimatstreuers, as the Ger
man emigrants are called, already
are crowding the streets in the
principal industrial towns of Upper
Silesia, devoting their time to sight
/ seeing, each carrying a heavy stick
as precaution against attack by
the native Polish population.
Sleep in Beer Halls.
Owing to the Poles determination
to close the homes, schools ant
communal buildings to the new
comers, a majority of them hav'
been assigned to beer halls wher'
each has a new mattress and plent,
