When the allies held their origi-
nal peace conferences, the Poles de-
manded all of Upper Silesia, claim
ing that centuries g it had been
Polish.
Recently Korfanty. the Polish
leader, and his irregulars not only
overran this territory without wait
ing to see what the allies would do,
but even occupied towns in terri
tory that had not voted Polish.
In Germany the situation became
the one topic of conversation. The
walls were covered with placards
calling upon Germans to help keep
Upper Silesia German. Way down
in Bavaria were appeals-and many
responses-for men to form troops
to resist the Korfanty bands.
Polish troops are massed on the
Silesian frontier. German troops
have been sen into German terri
tory near Upper Silesia. Italian
troops stationed in Silesia, have
been killed by Polish irregulars,
British troops have recently been
sent into Upper Silesia.
The powder mine is therefore all
laid ready for the match.
The Germans, given free rein by
the allies. say they would soon set
tie accounts with Korfanty and with
the Polish regulars as well. They
despise the Poles.
But the Germans won't be allow
ed to go into action against the
Poles. The French troops-12,00
of them-will see to that. Also
France can always menace the Ruhr

Silesia.

Germany would lose one of its best
chances of paying the r~eparations.
The Poles are determined to have
this country. The Germans are just
as determined they shall not have
it.
Kennel Bey, leader of the Turkish
Nationalist, never at any stage of
the game promised to abide by the
treaty. He fiercely attacked the Sui
tan and others at Constantinople
for agreeing to the RELOCATION of
Turke to the role of a minor power.
When Venizelos lost out in the
Greek elections and Constantine re-
turned to the throne, Renal seized
his opportunity and he promptly
made war upon the Greeks.
Renal also was smooth enough
to make peace with the Bolsheviki
on the northern boundaries of Ana
tolia and to avoid entanglements
with the French n Syria and Cilicia
and the Italians in Adalia.
After Greek troops made a great
advance toward Angora, Kemars
capital, they suffered several re-
verses. The Kemalists also are at
lacking some Of the French and
Italian outposts.
The Greeks have importuned the
British and French governments to
give them military support, but
these powers are timid about TAX
ing action because they don't want
to antagonize their own Mohamme-
dan subjects.

and that the bulk of the population

Tho allies decided to allow the
people to vote as to how they want

Germans won by a very large ma
jority.
But Immediately the Poles backed
by the French, claimed that on the
principle of self-determination those
districts of Upper Silesia which gave
Polish majorities should go to Po-
land. They practically demanded all
the industrial districts leaving to
the Germans only the western agri-
cultural section.
