VOTERS PREPARE
 FOR PLEb|SCITE IN UPPER SILESIA
Ballot Sunday Will Determine Whether Province Shall Be
 Cermany's or Poland's.

BRESLAU, Silesia, March 16- More than 100000 Upper Silesians from Germany have reached the voting precincts in readiness for the plebiscite Sunday which will decide whether Upper Silesia shall remain German or be annexed to Poland.
 Each voter receives two ballots, one German and the other Polish After voting one he is to burn the other. In prisons where eligibles also will be allowed to vote, stock of candles for burning process has been provided.
 The province is a rich stake. The two nationalities are contending for q territory about 5000 miles in area or approximately the size of Connecticut. In one year 30, 0,0O0,- 900 tons of coal were mined in Up per Silesia and besides, it has vast deposits of iron, zinc and lead.
 Situation Tense.
 The dispute over it's possession which results from the clause in the Versailles Treaty providing for the plebiscite has made Upper Sil- csia one of the storm centers of Europe The situation there for many months has been tense with both sides heavily armed and the possibility of civil war always present. The Inter-Allied Council of Ambassadors repeatedly postpon- cd the election which even now seems fraught with grave poss- bilities.
 The loB of Upper Silesia would be serious blow to the industrial strength of Germany.
 "It would be impossible to carry on the war except for the resources of Upper Silesia," declared the Ger man Chancellor, yon Bethmann Hollweg. in 1917. Assertion that without Silesia's natural resources, Germany would not be able to re- deem her treaty pledges or to work out her own reconstruction, was emphasized before the Allied Repar- ations Commission in London on March l.
 Industrial Center
 The Germans, since l74O when Frederick the Great wrested the country from Poland, have developed the country into one ot the greatest mining and industrial districts of Europe Germany, it is claimed, oa,,po+ live ,trithpuf fife Coa1 Poland stricken and devastated. looks to Upped Silesia to save her economic life and make her real nation. Hence the bitterness of the present struggle.
 AutaEonism between the two peo- pies is also said to have been in- tensifed by the fact that the large landowners and manufacturers in the disputed region are mainly German while the Poles, for the post part, are workingmen and small farmers. Numerically. tine population is 57 per cent Polish, 40 per cent German and three per cent other nationaliues.
