1t was stated unofficially that when
the ambassadors meet early next
month, Upper Silesia will be parti-
toned with the coal region, the dis

Coal Mines Prize.
The ambassadors regarded the ball
Ioting as an attempt to determine the
sentiment of the residents prior to di-
viding the district between the two
nations.
Germany was especially interested
in retaining the coal mines as the ba-
sis of her industrial life. Biologists
place the coal reserve there at sixty
two billion tons.
The council was supposed to have
definite figures on the plebiscite but
refused to make them public. The
French press was filled with comment
on the balloting. universal disappoint-
ment being expressed at the failure
of the Poles to obtain a majority. The
press argued. however. that DISPOSE

Germany Keeps Quiet.
Berlin, March 22.-Under advice of
government officials, Germany was
quiet despite the overwhelming vic
tory in the Upper Silesian prebiscite.
Figures announced by Foreign Min
lister Won Simons said the rich terri
tory went to Germany by a vote of
713.700 to Poland's 46O,100. Analysis
showed that the vote was almost 100
per cent.
Germans were warned today that
Poland probably will ask the allies to
use their prerogative of dividing the
territory despite the vote. 1t was
feared that the great mining district
might be lost after all. ,s+

Germany have been quiet.
Poland Not Discouraged.
Warsaw, March 21.-Optimistic
news from the plebiscite districts in
Upper Silcsia tonight was received by
cheering thousands gathered in an
open air meeting here. The celebra-
tors improvised an altar at which
prayers were offered for the territory
they believed had been regained for
Poland after a separation of more
than six hundred years. 3
The meeting was called by enthusi-

standing the fact that the late edi-

Dali Ereann Will Reject Peace
Offer in Hope of Bet
ter Terms.
Interns tional News Service.

DUBLIN. Aug. 24.-Dail Eireann
CThe Sim Fein parliamenp will re-
ject the English peace proposals and
will not make a counter offer. 1t was
learned today from a prominent re-
publican leader. The reason for this
proposed action is that the Sim Fein
leaders are convinced that the Eng
lish offer was not the last word of
Premier Lloyd George and that fur
ther concessions might be expected.
(Note-Both Premier Lloyd George
and Marquis Curzon, the foreign Sec
retary. announced in the British par
Lament last Friday that the English
peace offer was the government .
"final word" and that no further con-
cessions would be made In the way OF
principle, although there might be a
rearrangement Of sofe OF the details.)
Dali Eireann was not in session to-
day, but the members held informal
discussions among themselves. 1t is
understood that Eamonn de Valera s
reply to the English peace offer is now
in the hands of the Sim Fem parlia-
mentarians, but that 1t will not be
forwarded to London until the end OF
the week. Dali Eireann is scheduled
to meet in secret session again tomor-
row.

is another important body that is

HUSBAND AYERS
Sued on Grounds of Intoxica-

Condoned and Aided Him.

That he had "her full appreciation"
to become intoxicated is alleged by
Thomas A. Green, who today filed his
answer to the suit Of Florence Top
ham Green, who seeks a limited di-
vorce alleging cruelty and intoxica-
ton.
Referring TO an incident that hap
pened in September. 1919. while Mr..
and Mrs. Green were visiting friends
at Colesville, Md, defendant said
that It was the usual thing at these
parties to have much liquor; that
liquor flowed freely; that II was the
usual thing for all the guests, in
cluding men and women, to imbibe
to excess; that plaintiff CMrs. Green)
has frequently imbibed and felt the
effects of It; that at said house there
was a side porch provided with cots
for the men to sleep on, known as
THE Alcoholic Ward; that plaintiff
knew OF the defendant drinking and
Joined him on these occasions, and
he had her full appreciation in this
matter"
Green denies that on these occa-
sions he conducted himself in a "vio-
lent and abusive manner and was re-
fused permission 10 remain at said
house by the hosts" Defendant de-
clares that It is true that the hostess
requested him to leave but that the
host insisted upon his staying.
Green admits that he has INDUCED
in liquor all his life, but that the
plaintiff was fully acquainted with
this weakness when she married him.
He also says he has often begged
his wife not to have liquor in the
house.
Regarding his wife's allegation that
he took their baby out riding in an
automobile and that he got drunk and
left the baby in the car, the plaintiff
declares that he invited his wife to go
out with him, but that she said "she
did not care to CO.; that he should go
and take the baby Mr.. Green lie.
nies that he left the child alone In the
automobile ''for several hours while
drinking and caroussing."
Plaintiff says that he took the
pledge at one time for six months, and
kept it, but that his
wife's persistent request to buy 'liq-
uor" shortly after his pledge expired,
started him to drink again.

Trial Trip.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-The great
dirigible ZR-2. which began a trial
flight on Tuesday morning, was
wrecked by an explosion this after
noon and fellinto the Humber river.
In Air Fifty Hours.
The dirigible had been in the air
nearly thirty-flve hours following her
ascent from Howden, and was appar.
entity prepared to go to Pulham for
a landing when the calamity occurred.
Following the explosion a sheet OF
flame leaped upward from the bal
loon and she was on fire when she
fell.
Three parachutes were seen to leave
the airship but experienced airmen
said that they would carry only a
fraction of the large number of per-
sons on board.
The cause of the accident was not
known up to $50 o'clock. although of.
ficials of the British air ministry were
making frantic efforts to get all the
details.
Advices from Pulham said that the
dirigible was evidently wreck.
Thousands See Disaster.
Thousands of perosns In Hull, who
were watching the flight of the 0rigi-
BILE, saw the disaster. They stood hor-
ror-stricken in the streets as they
heard the blast.
Then a sheet of fire leaped upward
from the craft. The ship buckled and
began falling like a plummet leaving
behind sheet of flame and cluods Of
thick smoke.
The first explosion took place at
545 o'clock, followed Immediately
afterward by another.
The spectators on land, who were
watching the aircraft, ran pell nell in
every direction when the accident oc-
CURED, fearing a raid of debris.
Four Made Escape.
Word from Hull at 6:35 O'Clock said
that so far as known four men had
made their escape from the airship
by clinging to parachutes. Relief
parties Set out to find them and get
their story of the disaster and it's
cause.
Contradictory reports were received
as to the number of parachutes that
left the ZR-2. According to one re-
port three men were seen clinging
to one parachute.
