ON Split OVER SILESLA

side. This made every one in favor
of his disposition Of Silesia, except
the Silesians. And, as they could
neither read nor write, they thought
that they still belonged to Holland
and cheered a duke every time they
saw one.
The question remained in allegiance
thereafter for a century and quar-
ter. Then, in 1906, three years after
the accession of Ralph Rittenhouse
to the throne Of England, the storm
broke again. The occasion was the
partition of Parchesie by the great
powers, by which the towns of Zwei-
back, Ulmhausen and Ost WHIP were
united to form what is known as the
industrial triangle on the Upper
silesian border. These towns are
district and could alone supply
France and Germany with pumiee for
fifty years, provided it didn't rain.
Bismarck once called Ost WHIP "the
pumice heart Of the world" and he
was about right, too.
1t will therefore be seen how i'm
portant it was to France that this
industrial triangle" on the Silesian
border should belong to Germany. At
the conference which designated the
border line, Gambetta, representing
France, insisted that the line should
follow the course Of the Iser river
("Iser on one side or the other" was
the way he is reported to have
phrased it,, which would divide the
pumice deposits into three areas, the
fourth being the dummy. This would
never do.
Experts wre called in to Sc if
it might be possible to so divide the
district that France might get
quarter, Germany a quarter and Eng
land 80 cents. 1t was suggested that
the line be drawn down through
Globe Wernicke to the mouth Of the
Iser AS Gambetta said, the line had
to be drawn somewhere and it might
as well be there, But Lord Hay
Pauncefote, representing England, re-
fused to concede the point and for
time it. looked like an open breach.
But matters were smoothed over by
the holding of plebiscite in all the
towns of Upper Silesia. The result
of this plebiscite was taken and eX-
actly reversed by the council, so that
the entire Engadine valley was given
to Sweden, who did not want it, any
way.
And there the matter now stands.

POSTAL APPLICANTS
ARE kept SECRET
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
62S Riggs Building.
BY THEODOEE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-With
thousands of postoffice appointments
to be made under the Harding execu-
tive order for competitive examlna-
lions, the civil service commission
has adopted the policy of refusing
to make public the list of applicants
who apply at the various offices to
take the examinations for postmas-
tership.
Recent efforts to obtain from the
commission names of persons who
respond to the calls for examina-
Hons--not the persons who qualify
as ellgtbles-have been unaVailing.
Employees of the commission inform
newspaper correspondents and 9TH
ers that the commission has order
ed that the list of applicants be kept
secret.
Democratic members of congress
are becoming curious concerning this
policy of non-publicity. If the COM
mission refuses to make public even
the names of applicants for a post
office position Democrats intend to
inquire whether the commission or
the .postoffice department will be
equally retfcent concerning the rat
ings of the three highest eligibles"
under the Harding executive order.
Only by such publicity, they say, can
it be ascertained whether appoint
ments are being made solely on mer-
it and without regard to politics.
Senator Mcclellan, of Tennessee,
has uncovered an alleged situation
in his state indicating that names
Of persons qualified for appointment
under the postoffice department are
referred to the Republican national
committeeman, who makes selec-
ton from among the three highest
e1glbles. He has asked the senate
to investigate charges that appli-
cants for federal patronage in Ten
nessee have been contributing to the

Ebert County Farmers
Visit State College at
Athens on Inspection

ATHENS, Ca, Aug. IA party
composed Of thirty-five of the lead
ing farmers and business men of Ell
bert county, headed by C. L. Vaughan,
county farm demonstration agent,
and lack Hays, of the Ebert Loan
and Savings bank, motored to Athens
yesterday. The party spent the day
at the State College of Agriculture
studying the different steps in dairy
ing, the separation of cream and but
ter fats, the Bacock test for deter
mining the percentage of butter fats
in cream, etc, in fact the whole
dairy processes, with a view of es-
tablishing at an early date a cream
cry or milk station at Elberton to
absorb the increasing supply of milk
and dairy products in that county.
These progressive and far-seeing
citizens stated the boil weevil had
made such inroads in the county that
1T was becoming necessary for the
farmers to look for other sources of
revenue than the cotton crop, and
many are expecting to purchase COWS
and enter the dairy field. The dem
onstrations they witnessed at the
agricultural college were convincing
and all were well pleased with the
outlook.
With the sale of a number of pure
bred hogs, donated by breeders in
different sections of the state, the
Georgia Swine Growers association
closed its seventh annual meeting at
the State College of Agriculture Fri
daY afternoon.

SO. How do submarine de-
stroyers discover submarines?
A. The navy department says as
a rule the transmission Of sound is
the basic idea used by submarine de-
stroyers in detecting submarines.
There are several kinds of apparatus
used in this work, the simplest be-
ing the diaphragm, like that used in
telegraphic transmission. There are
others more complicated that are Sc
using one Of these devices, a de-
stroyer can hear the revolving of
the propellors on the submarine and
the rhythm of the submarines ma

60. Did the Indians eat the
fruits that grew wild in American.
A. Many of the fruits were util-
lied by the Indians. In Ohio they
used the cranberry, wild strawberry,
paw paw and plum, and carefully
guarded and preserved the thickets
in which they usually grew. The
Indians dried some of these fruits
for winter use.
10. How many horses and
mules were used in The United
States army during the World War?
A. The Remount Service, @. M. c.,
says that the total number Of horses
ana mules used by our armies in the
United States and In France during
the war was 481,029. Between April
6, 1917 and November II. 118, the
government bought 305,3S4 horses
and mules for use in the army in the
United States and 1888 in France.
While the gasoline tractor has taken
the place Of animal power to a great
extent. there are still many uses
to which the horse and mule are
better adapted.
SO. What was the highest tenn
perature in the United States last
summer?
A.-The weather bureau says that
125 degrees, registered at Greenland
Ranch, Death Valley, California, on
July 31st, was the highest authentic
reading for the year.
90 How should an American
flag be disposed of when 1t is worn
out?
A. The state department says
the most satisfactory way to dis
pose of an American flag which has
become too old for service is to
burn it.
100. How long is a sea knot?
A. A knot is a unit of speed, not
distance, but is equivalent to the
nautical mile. The admiralty mile
is $3.50 feet, while the U. s. Coast
Survey uses length of 6,0S727 feet
as it's nautical mile.

Colonel George Harvey, always a two
fisted fighter, has disappointed Psrisians
by his docile attitude at the meeting Of
the allied supreme council. Paris is pas
sionately fond of ''crisis" and there were
many who hoped the American ambassador
10 Great Britain might provoke one.)
PARIS, Aug. 13.-Colonel George
Harvey, American ambassador to
Great Britain, who has been attend
ing the meetings of the allied sd
preme council here, is a dIsappoint-
ment to the Europeans, who regard
these meetings as great popular en-
pecting the peppery colonel to start
something" and his docility at the
council table is proving a puzzle to
the onlookers.
The colonel's fame has been spread
far and wide on the continent ever
since he began his biting satires on
President Wilson, all of which were
gleefully reprinted in the European
papers.
David Lloyd George and Aristide
BRAND are not wanting in wit or
in dramatic outbursts, but they have
become familiar to the Paris au-
diences. Colonel Harvey was new
blood and a hush fell as an eager
throng waited for his first word.
1t was q long wait. The colonel
compressed his lips as he arrived at
the Care du Nord and thereafter sep
arated them only enough to let fall
an occasional nonosyllable. His long
face seemed longer than usual under
a tall, felt stove-pipe hat, and his
lanky figure seemed lankier beside
the more portly J. Butler Wright,
his inseparable counsellor from the
embassy in London.
Sits Astute at Table.
II there was twinkle in the am
bassador's eye as he arrived in Paris,
his huge black-rimmed spectacles
concealed it. At the council table
he has sat astute. On emerging he
has walked solemnly to his automo-
bile, looking gravely from side to
side, but not acknowledging any Of
the questioning smiles directed at
him by the assembled journalists Of
twenty nations. One reporter did
Henry Allen, commanding the Ameri-
can forces on the Rhine, was in
Paris.
Because ] asked him to come"
replied the ambassador, without a
moment Of hesitation or a word of
further explanation.
The few times the ambassador has
received American correspondents in
his rooms at the Hotel Meurice he
has talked perfunctorily and one
could not fail to get the impression
that the colonel was discharging a
distatsful duty.
Comments have been freely here
on Colonel Harvey's non-participa-
ton in the council debates and. where
vigorous self-assertion was expected,
the American representative has ap-
peared unconcerned and ready and
willing to be thrust aside.
One incident emphas sized this. Lloyd

HARVEY DLSAPPOINTS PARIS.
ALWAYS EAGER FOR A CRISIS

in opening the Silesian discussion, in
timated rather pointedly that while
the American and Japanese repre-
sentatiVes were heartily welcome at
the council meeting, their advice was
not needed. 1t was noted. however,
that Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
delegate, as each decision was reach
ed, carefully took the floor and SOL
EMMY registered the stand of his
government. This was purely pro-
ftorma. of course, but at the same
time it was quiet, but effective
disalloWance of Lloyd Georges ex-
clusion hint. But Ambassador Harvey
said nothing, tactily accepting the
British notice.
Attitude Disappoints.
The American attitude on the
Greco-Turk war expressed by Colonel
Harvey, while consistent with past
practice, was disappointing to Euro
peanS. This SenSeleSS slaughter con-
tlnues only because arms md ANNA
milton is being sold to the opposing
forces by French and British NUM-
ton makers. Lloyd George and
BRAND deeply depiore the war, but
have agreed that it is quite all right
for private firms to supply arms
so long as the Greeks and the Turk
nationalists desire to fight it OUT
The League of Nations has not
employed its famous automatic
economic pressure" on the Anatolian
belligerents and the only chance for
peace seemed to lie in the hope that
America would say: "Forego your
munitions profits, gentlemen, and
this war will end" But Colonel Har-
vey declared that the shipment of
arms to the belligerents was legally
justifiable and that America was
quite satisfied with the decision of
the allies.
All of this timidity is so out of
keeping with the European concep-
ton of Colonel Harvey that observers
here are baffled. But a close friend
of Colonel Harvey has declared that
the role he has been playing was
not written by himself; that he in
tensely dislikes an attitude of being

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-If France
the headline writers cali split" over
Silesia, it is high time that the av-
erage man in this country had a
clearer idea of the problem. At pres
ent many people think that if you add
oxygene to Silesia you will get
Oxide of Silesia and can take spots
out of clothes with it.
A definite statement of the whole
Upper Silesian question is therefore
due, and, for those who care to listen,
about to be made.
The trouble started at the treaty of
Noblitz in 1878. You have no idea
what a perfectly rotten treaty that
was. 1t was negotiated by the Grand
Duke Ludwig of Saxe-Goatherd-Co
bait, whose sister married Morrisey
and settled in Fall River. The aim
and ambition of Ludwig's life was to
annex Shielzeugingen to Nichtrau-
schen, thereby agumenting his duchy
and at the same time having a dandy
time. And he was the kind of man
who would stop at nothing when it
pleased him to augment his duchy.
In this treaty, then, Ludwig insist
ed on a clause making Silesia a
monogamy. This was very clever, as
it brought the centrist party in
party whic hwanted to restore the
young Prince Niblick to the throne,
thereby causing no end of trouble
and nasty feeling.
With these obstacles out of the
way, the greed and ambition of Lud-
wig were practically unrestrained. In
fact, some historians say that they
knew no bounds. Summoning the
storkrath, or common council (com-
noSed of three classes: the MOBILES
the Welterweights and the Licensed
Pilots). and said to them according
to Taine):
"An army can travel ten days on
its stomach, but who the hell wants
to be an army?"
This saying has become a by-word
in history and is now remembered
long after the Grand Duke Ludwig
has been forgotten. But at the time,
Ludwig received nothing short of an
ovation for it, and succeeded in win
ming over the obstructionists to his

MOUNTAIN SCHOOLS
OPEN IN SEPTEMBER

The thirty-seven mountain schools
operated by the Baptist Home Mis-
sion board will open the 1921-1922
scholastic year early in September,
according to announcement made by
DR.. B. D. Gray, corresponding secre-
tary of the home board, who has just
concluded a conference with DR.. A.
E. Brown, superintendent of the
mountain school department. The
outlook this year is for the largest
enrolment in the history of the
schools. according to DR.. Gray, and
even the increased facilities will be
taxed to the utmost. The enroll
ment during the last scholastic year
was 6,183.
The board has appropriated the
sum Of 100000 for the operation of
the mountain schools this year, al
though q small portion of this will
be used to complete certain improve
ments started last year. The i'm
provement program which was prac-
tically completed last year involved
an expenditure Of s285.272, and prac-
tically every one of the schools re-
value of the mountain school prop.
erty now owned by southern Bap-
lists is s1.6SS,OOO. The teaching
Eorps at the various schools totals
229 teachers.
DR.. Browns report shows that last
year there were 6SS conversions
among the students at the mountain
schools. 1t is declared by DR.. Gray
that large percentage Of the vol
unteers for the ministry comes from
the students and graduates of these
institutions.
The headquarters Of the mountain
school system are located at Ashe-
willie. n. G in the heart of the Ap-
palachian chain most of the schools
being located in mountain system
along the Atlantic seaboard. although
there are several in the Ozarks.
The development of the mountain
school system by southern Baptists
began about twenty-five years ago,
and since that time the Southern Bap-
fist convention has almost annually
authorized extensions and improve

Upper. Silesian problem, which has

as the most important question with
which that body has been faced. 1t
is feared that a solution will be pro-

Rail Boards Decision
Is Branded as False

NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-Decision of
the United States railroad labor board
to allow only the regular rate of pay
for time worked in excess of eight
hours a day or for Sunday and holI-
day work, was branded as unfair to-
day by the executive committee of

erhood of Railroad Signal Men of
America. 1t was pointed out in a
esolution-adopted by the commit
tee-that prior to the boards ruling
the men had received time and half
for overtime and Sunday and holiday
work.
Another resolution, however, ac-
cepted wage cut of 8 cents an hour
for all signal men and 6 cents an
hour for all helpers.
The resolution of protest asserted
that the boards decision would work
further reduction in the pay of the
employees, and declared the chairmen
would not be responsible for any
further action that may be taken by
