won fame for having been wounded five
times while leading mis- regiment in per-
son, and his popularity extends to the
point where he has the support OF Upper
Siiesian labor as well as that OF the
conservative element
Germany, officially, is drawing a dis
tinction between the local self-defence
units and the recruiting or use of the So
called Freikorps, military units who were
notorious in the Baltic adventure or 1917:
Even the Deutche Aflgemeiale Zeitnn0,
the organ of Hugo SHINES, now throws
cold water on the hopes OF the old Frel-
korps for obtaining conservative support
for the nationalistic invasion to save the
invaded province In an unexpected edl-
torial. II argues that appearance OF the
Freikorps would put damper on Ger
many's chances of securing rights
abroad and. secondly, that the cXperi-
ence with the F'reilSorps has been that
they do not have the necessary discipline,
and, thirdly. that they would reawaken
Communist antagonism. THE presence
Of Karl Radek in Breslau is evidence
that the Communist is whiting the bat
tie air." X concludes.
The worl1men's councils of the rail-
roads in Saxony have taken the matter
of the F'reikorps into their own hands
and have issued a proclamation calling
on all members TO do their utmost TO
prevent the transportation of men and
arms to Silesia.
Under the mantle of nationalistic
phrases" the proclamation states. THE
leaders of the Orgesch are recruiting
workers and the unemployed for crimi-
nal adventures, even as they did for the
Baltic wars. The German people, par
ticularly German labor, must do all In
their power to call halt on these re-
dictionary manoeuvres, which threaten
to have the most serious consequences"
1t is estimated in Berlin that the To-
cal Upper Silesian military groups now
have $4,000 members, with an addl-
tional 5000 outsiders, mostly from Ba-
varia. While in some instances the
outsiders are well armed 1t is regarded
here as unquestionable that SO far they
are not equipped sufficiently to be de-
cisive factor in attackinA the Poles.

CHILDREN GET

Wonderful Spirit is Shown in

Are Published Today.

The school children of the city fol-
low up the handing in of their slo-
sans to their teachers by carrying
out practically the suggestions they
make for "Clean Up Week." which
started Monday and will last until
Saturday. Today's slogans are par
ticularly interesting and come from
classes ranging from the kindergar-
ten through the fifth grade.
Today's essays are those selected
from among all the Junior high
school English classes. They follow:
Cleaning Up and Beautifying
Perth Amboy
In summer, when the days are hot,
the people of Perth Amboy are only
ADO glad to get up and start out early
in their cars for some other town or
resort. Why is this? Why Is it that
on Sundays almost everyone who has
tho opportunity leaves Amboy? The
reason is that Perth Amboy does
not hold enough attraction to keep
her Inhabitants at home. How a
this trouble be remedied? First, by
cleaning up the city and then. by
beautifying it. The first problem
which is cleaning up. can easily be
helped If each person will do his
part. If he does this he will be sup
ported by the street cleaning de-
partment and the health commits
%sioners, thereby causing everyone TO
work in perfect harmony. The re-
sult, as can easily be seen. would lead
to a strictly sanitary city.
The next means would be to
tify Perth Amboy. This, as in the
case of the cleaning UP system,
would also be backed by the city II
only each individual would help.
Give your support and the city will
give vi hers. Care for your lawns
and KDautify your backwards and the
city will give you a park and place
holidays. If only everyone would
bed enthusiastic about this plan.
cyl ything would work to perfection
Perth Amboy would not only be
4ean city but also beautiful one
j. GOLOSOFF, '22.
Clean Up! Perth Amboy.
Clean up! Clean up! Perth Amboy.
DO you know that your streets are
dirty, your yards dirty. your vacant
lots filled with rubbish? Clean me
up. Clean me up! They seem to
BAY. Why not clean them up?
The world is endeavoring to clean
itself up; but sleepy old Perth Am
boy is mapping. She is doing nothing
to help beautify herself. Why not
lave her vacant lots covered with
.n-ass instead of rubbish? In doing
ye7is we will not only be cleaning up
The city but identifying it as well.
Why not beautify our city by hav-
ing lawns In front of the schools that
have none? Why not have parks?
Why not have more trees so that
birds may build their nests in them?
Then we will have singing, for birds
will sing when they have found a
nice home in a nice leafy tree.
Why not have gardens in place of
rubbish piles in backyards? Why
not clean away the ash pile at the
side Of the high school? That ash
pile at the high school is most GER
fainly not helping to beautify the
building. so why have 1t there? 1t
ties . little more time to put the
o j.. 'ge into the barrel, but Is it not
Afrses-the trouble to have a clean
yard msread of a filthy bad looking
yard? Your children will most GER
tainly enjoy a clean yard more than
they will a dirty one.
So wake up! Clean up! Perth

strikes and lockouts resulted in great
economic losses. he recommended
establishment of impartial tribunals.

might be made.
The convention proper was urged
by various speakers to take up the
housing problem and attempt a So
luton. President Defrees said the
country is 100000 dwellings, short
of its pre-war ratio and that the stu
