GERMAN SONG ,
CAUSES TROUBLE

Berlin Mar 21.-- Disagreeables
scenes followed the rendition OF
'Deuchfand Uber Allies by military
hand while an entente commission IN
spected the Reichswehr forces at
RatZeberg.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1921-03-21

Consistently the Germans have
charged the Poles with criminally i'm
perialistic tendencies, with murder,
highway robbery, secret military prep
arations, and the Poles have answered
by filing corresponding counter
charges agans. the Germans. On sav-
eral occasions. the Allied plebiscita
commission, stationed at Opplen, has
found it necessary to interfere in the
interest of peace. -.
In Difference 10 German Wishes.>
Originally the plan Of the Allies did
not include any Upper Silesian
plebiscite; it was the intention of the
supreme court to award the province
to Poland and let the matter enl
there. But in view Of the fact that
the German peace delegation at Ver-
sailles made very strong representa-
tons, and enlisted the active sympa-
thy of Prime Minister Lloyd George
Article SS was incorporated in the
peace treaty stipulating that plebis-
cite be held.
An historical fact, often referred
to in recent months, is the German
ization-of Upper Silesia which has not
actually belonged to Poland since
1853; for that reason the Germany
say, the province is not bound to Po-
land by either intellectual, economic
or social ties. ..,.s +.
Polish Element Strong.
Assuming the force of such an ar
gument it seems. nevertheless, to he
true that the Polish elements in Up.
per Silesa have shown a remarkable
strength and qndurance. for it Is said
That Of the country's population or two
million people, little more than one
million still speak a Polish dialect as
their native language, and more than
100000 speak, both German and Polish.
BY reason Of the pieblscite arrar,re-
ments. Upper Silesians who are ac-
tually born within the borders Of the
province but who now live in Ger
many or elsewhere in the world. had
the right to vote, provided that they
return to their native precincts.
While it is true that Germans ar.
anxious to retain Upper Silesia for
the sake of their national honor anu
for the sake of tradition, it is also
true that economic considerations are
predominant in this connection.
Although the province is small-its
area is about 5000 square miles-it
possesses enormous coal deposits, the
annual production amounting to about
SO million tons.

Hint from Above

CHICAGO. July 2s.-Chief Frank
Laatz. of River Forest. knew his
policemen were loafing on the job.
but IT was hot and dispiriting work
"piperizing" them on the foot. So
he went to Checkerboard Field and
engaged an airplane and an aviator
Then he loaded up with copies of
the revised police rules and started
out over River Forest
He espied one OF his patrolmen
arguing with an ice-wagon driver
when he should have been out
searching for yeggs. so he dropped
a copy Of the revised rules, bound
in heavy calf. 1t landed on the
ice man and impressed him very
much. Still further on he swung
of another copy which landed on
the head Of a copper who was idlins
his time away in the shade. ,..-
The CHIEF gave warning to the
force at inspection this evening that
on his next trip he will carry a
stock of anvils. unless the hints
thrown out today bear immediate
fruit.
