HIGHWAY BILL
IS IN DANGER
misunderstanding Said to
Exist as to Who Will Be
Appointed
GOVERNOR WILL
KEEP AGREEMENT
Says He Is Ready to Stand by Word
Given to Those Who Engineered Pass
age of Measure Through the House -
May Be Trouble i'm Senate.

MONTPELIER, March 16-With the
prospect of early action in the senate on
the highway board bill (H-3S6) corridor
gossip was busy yesterday as to whether
the so-called gentlemen's agreement in re-
gard to the personnel of the new board
would stand the stress and strain of the
final stages through which the bill must
pass.
Some of the friends of Highway Com
missioner ''Stod' Bates are claiming that
/ their assent to the agreement was secured
through a misunderstanding, that there
is no assurance that Bates will actually
be the executive officer of the board and
that Governor Hartness is not prepared
to stand by the agreement.
Those present at the now historic con-
ference, however, are practically unani-
nous IN their understanding of the agree
ment, which was that the third member
of the commission would not be objection
able to Bates and that working position
would be provided by the board for the
present highway commissioner.
Governor HARNESS had no comment to
make of the situation except to say that
he was prepared to stand by his word.
| both as publicly uttered and privately
given to those who engineered the passage
of H-3S6 through the house Much viii
prooaDIy depend on the action or the SEN
ate when the bill is reported from the
Judiciary committee, which is expected
within a few days.
There has also been talk of the third
member of the board. whose name has
been tentatively discussed. as being too
close to the governor to be agreeable to
Bates. But so far none of the Bates
crowd has made any definite objection.
The situation seems to be decidadly I'M
to the senate, in which the principal of
commissioner Bates is supposed to be
Cady, and the latter has not, as far as
newspaper men can learn, any definite OBJ
lection to the rOpOsed appointment.

WOULD REDUCE
DAYLIGHT PERIOD
Senate FavOrs Cutting
Month OF Each End of
Present Limits.

BOSTON. March 16.-Advocates of
complete repeal of the Massachusetts day
light saving law met overwhelming defeat
in the senate yesterday, when the upper
branch by vote of 10 to ~. rejected a
motion by Senator Lyman w. GriswOld
of Greenfield to substitute the repeal for
the bill reported by the committee on legal
affairs.
The latter bill cuts from the daylight
saving period one month at each end.
That is to say, it provides that the clocks
shall be advanced on the last Sunday in
April, instead of the last Sunday in
March, and they are to be returned to
standard time again on the last Sunday in
September, instead of the last Sunday in
October.
Whether this bill can be made effective
in time to prevent changing the clocks one
week from next Sunday is predetermined,
with the chances better than even that it
will be prevented. Opponents of the re-
peal bill did their part yesterday toward
this relief to the farmers, for after they
had defeated the repeal bill, they mag
unanimously obtained suspension of the
rules and put their own bill through all its
reach the house today and may come up
for debate in the lower branch Thursday.
If the same course is followed there. it
is easily within the realm of possibility
that it may be sent to Governor Cox by
the middle of next week, and if it is APP
proved by him before Saturday at mid
night, there will be no change in time
until the last Sunday in April.

FACULTY CHECKS FAIL.
University of Maine Finds Itself Short
of Funds

ORONO, Me-, March 16.-The faculty
OF the University of Maine failed to re-
ceive salary checks yesterday for the first
time in the history of the institution.
covering more than half century.
This was said to be due to the action
of state officials in Withholding funds on
the ground that the biennial appropria-
ton of 1919 is exhausted and that, the
present legislature has made no provi-
sion thus far for the institution.
Gov. Baxter in a message to the legis-
lature last Thursday on financial mat
ters said the university had a deficit of
$21403J, according to figures given him
by President Robert j. Alley. He sug-
gested that the appropriation for the in
stitution for 80 months be restricted to
100000, and that the state should not
assume the deficit. The states contribu-
ton the last two years was $40, 900.
The college of agriculture was estab-
lished by the state in 1865, and the name
was changed in 1897 to University of
Maine.

Ubber Silesia VIII Hold
PLebiScite March 20

BERLIN, Feb. .. ASSOCIATED Press.)
Upper Silesia, where 2,500,00O Ger
mans and Poles viii vote in plebiseite
on Sunday, March 20, to determine
whether that province shall remain Ger
man or be annexed to Poland, is a rich
stake. The two nationalities are con-
tending for territory about 5000
square miles in area or approximately
the size of Connecticut. In one year So
000,0 600 tons of coal were mined in Up
per Silesia and besides, it has vast de-
posits of iron, zine and lead.
The dispute over its possession which
results from the clause in the Versailles
treaty providing for the plebiscite has
made Upper Silesia one of the storm
centers of Europe The situation there
for many months has been tense with
both sides heavily armed and the pos
sibility of civil war always present. The
Inter-Allied Council of Ambassadors re-
peatedly postponed the election which
even now seems fraughL with grave pos
sibilities.
The loss of Upper Silesia would be a
serious blow to the industrial strength
of Germany.
at would be impossible to carry on
the war except for the resources of Up
per Silesia," declared the German Chan
cellor Won Bethmann HOllweg, IN 1917.
Assertion that without Silesia's natural
resources, Germany would not be able
to redeem her treaty pledges or to work
out her own reconstruction" was empha-
sized before the Allied Reparations COM
mission in London on March. l.
The Germans, since 1740 when Freder-
lex the Great wrested The country from
Poland. have developed the country into
one of the greatest mining and indus
trial districts of Europe: Germany, it
is claimed, cannot live without its coal
Poland, stricken and devastated, looks
the most part, are wOrkingmen and
to Upper Siesia to save her economic
life and make her a real nation. Hence
the bitterness of the present struggle.
Antagonism between the two peoples
is also said to have been intensified by

the fact that the large landowners and
manufacturers in the disputed region
are mainly German while the Poles, for
small farmers. Numerically, the pop
ulation is 81 per cent Polish, 40 per cent
German and three per cent other ma
tionalities
An American relief worker in Upper
Silesia said of the controversy Both
sides are fighting to win and large
amounts of money have been poured in
to the country for propaganda purposes
to keep the population stirred UP and
create enmities among a people who
wish to live in peace. The population
is nearly equally divided between the
Poles and Germans. The wealth and ed
ucation are German and the Poles
would have about as much influence as
the MeXicans would have in plebisclte
in Arizona were it not for other con-
sideratiOns."
Among these other considerations was
the decision of the supreme council In
months of the establishment of the In
ter-Allied commission" This commits
sion took over control OF the region on
been frequent clashes between the rival
nationals. The Poles have charged that
while the French forces have been sym
pathetic toward them, the British and
Italian officers have pursued another
course, some scions of aristocratie fam
friendly terms with the wealthy Ger
man landowners and industrial lead
ers. The postoffice, railroad and politi-
cal authorities also were allowed to re-
main German and this is regarded as
another Polish handicap.
The greatest wrong" claimed to have
been suffered by the Poles. however, is
the fact that the InterAllied commits
sion has permitted the existence of the
German ''sicherheitswehr,' military
organization recruited throughout Ger
many and which is charged with oppres-
sion and provoking riotous outbreaks
The Germans also are accused of try
ing to terrorize the Poles.
Upper Silesia is bounded on the East
by Poland, on the South by CzechOslo-
vakia and on the West by Germany.
