VOTE TO DETERMINE
COUNTRY'SFEALTY
Upper SiIesia to Say Whether
Poland or Germany Shall
Have Allegiance.

BERLIN. January ,s.-The long. bit
ter and often bloody campaign among
the voters Of Upper Silesia is ex-
pacted to come to an end January II
with plebiscite. which will decide
whether the region belongs to Ger
many or to Poland. AS the time for
the plebiscite draws nearer the keen
est interest Of Germans generally
fastens on the rich industrial. coal
mining lands. with the visible fear
that the Poles will win the elections.
Serious disorders before. during and
after the elections are frankly consid.
cred probable. although approximate
iy 10000 troops. 200 tanks .ard 5,O0N
police will be strategically distributed
through the plebiscite area in an eff
tort to preserve the peace. Presence of
allied troops and many police, how
ever, has failed to prevent fighting
during the many months through
which the plebiscite battle has ragged,
and excitement ON both sides has been
steadily increasing.
Germany Makes Overtures.
Throughout the autumn and early
winter the German government has
made every. effort to win the sympa-
thies Of neutrals and silesians to the
German cause. Frequent charges
have been made that German work
men were murdered, by Poles. The
Poles have been ridiculed, their bust
ness, political and social chara ct eris-
ties scathingiy criticised.
1t is charged by the. pro- German
campaigners that the Poles are
without the men who have ability
to manage the great industries of
Upper S;lesia and that under their
rule these industries would be bound
to decay. the operation of the mines
n of aY.i0 Ylf pavt pI,
highly skilled or strongly organized
as the Germans. would overrun the
region under a Polish regime and, il
has been argued, would work for such
low wages that the German popula-
ton would be forced to leave.
Polish AEitators Active.
On the other hand. the Polish agi-
tators. and particularly Wojciech
korianty. former. member of the
Dlebiscite area, with appeals to unite
with Poland. but have openly threat
ened the German residents with ex-
puision should the Poles win at the
elections. They have brought up the
old issue of Prussian interference
with religious worship. The fact that
Poles were excluded from holding any
offices under the old regime has
tended to intensity their desire to
carry the elections for Poland.
The Germans point out that with
the loss of the rich Silesian coal fields
IT would be doubtful if they could
fulfill their coal delivery program of
the peace treaty. They assert that
under the Polish government the coal
fields would suffer such decline in
production that they would virtually
be lost, not only to Germany, but to
the rest of the world as well.
Into the campaign has entered every
prejudice of race, religion and poll
tics. In view Of the intense excite
ment that prevails Germans are
warned they should not carry arms

Chary of Disarmament.
I'm always chary of a man who

val disarmament program of the
league. He might be stretching the
olive branch in one hand and in the
other gripping the sword behind his
back. The Germans, before they
started the war. were organizing

There's no stronger advocate than

ROMAN RELICS SOLD.
Great Britain's Most Ancient Mill
tary Trophies on the Block.

LONDON. January s-Great Brtain's
most ancient military trophies, a
Roman battle standard and a Roman
generals folding camp chair, have
just been sold for 600 at a London
auction room The antiquities were
dug up in Essex a century ago.
Experts believe that the battle
standard and the camp chair were
captured or lost in the disaster that
overlook the Roman 9th Legion in
A. d. 81, when Boadicea, Queen Of the
Iceni, cut the legion to pieces as it
advanced to relieve Colchester
Boadicea's Britons, having burned
Roman Colchester, turned upon the
9th Legion, surprised and destroyed
it. The cavalry alone got away, and
it is believed that the relics were
abandoned on the field.
The standard and the chair are in
perfect preservation. The former is
a slight and elegant thing in bronze,
topped by four laurel wreaths Of
diminishing size. Below is q. medal
lion, bearing on one side q portrait
of Nero, and on the other an inlaid
design showing the emperor in q
triumphal car holding a palm branch
and a wreath. The chair Is heauti-
fully worked in iron, overlaid In sill

AMERICANS ARE SCORED.
Members Of Philippines Court At
tackled by Senate's President.

MANILA. January s.-American
members of the supreme court of the
Philippines were targets of an at
tack here in a speech in the Philip
pine senate by Manuel L. Quezon, its
president.
Quezon was supporting amendments
to the judiciary bill, empowering the
governor general and the senate to
transfer Judges from one district to
another when the good of the service
required such changes.
Let me say here that I have no
faith in the supreme court as con-
stituted at present" QueZon declared.
"How can we have faith in justices
like f. Finley johnson and George A.
Malcolm, who, in one administration
held that the governor general has
the right to expel aliens and in an
other administration hold an exactly
contrary opinion?"
The bill passed the senate and goes
before the house for disposal.

is A. DESPERATE REMEDY
BY WILLIAM f.. NASH.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1921.
LONDON, January S-As a des-
perate remedy for the prevailing bust
ness depression. the British govern
ment is considering the adoption of a
plan worked out by a Dutchman
named Ter Meulen at the interna-
national financial conference in Brus-
sells in September, 1920: The plan
provides Tor the sale of merchan-
disc to central European countries
on long term credit and the protec-
ton of the sellers by a sort of gov
eminent insurance.
Only thus. officials here think, can
British trade be revived to such an
extent as to re~industry gen.
orally and thus cause the unemploy-
ment problem to disappear. In other
words. markets must be created.
Austria. Hungary. Poland and other
central European countries live in
desperate need of manufactured prod
ucts. yet their money is so deprecated
that they cannot buy them. Great
Britain is on the verge of a financial
panic because she has goods which
she cannot sell
Whys not solve the two needs at
once. The very fact that the Ter
Meulen plan is under consideration
not only by Great Britain. but, ac-
'cording to the Daily Mail by the
supreme council of allied presniers as
well. is a striking indication of the
value of the argument put forward
by the league of nations last Sep
TENDER At that time this CORE
spondent cabled that even if nothing
definite was accomplished the data in
the shape of statistics and recon-
mendations assembled in Brussels by
the leading financiers of Europe
would not perish. but would be called
into use by governments and indi-
viduals for years to come Now it
seems as If this prediction was com
ing true. Probably the Ter Meulen
plan nor others suggested will not
be adopted as whole. They will be
amended to meet special needs, but
above all they will serve as a basis
for many governmental programs.

ITALY TRYING TO PLANT
LAND IDLE CENTURIES
Campagna Romano About Rome
Has Been Uncultivated Since
q Fall of Empire.

OSTIA. Italy, January Eff orts
are being made to reclaim and plant
parts of the vast tract Of land which
stretches for. several miles around
Rome and goes by the name of the
lowed to remain idle and uncultivated
ever since the fall Of the Roman en-
pire.
Before that time it was a sort of
terrestrial paradise: villas and gar
dens were dotted all over it as far as
with fruits and flowers. it supplied
food and work for thousands upon
thousands of men, it was one of the
most beautiful and intenSively culti-
waited spots in TIE world.
When Rome. however. was obliged
tress of the world" the "campagna"
was abandoned and gradually became
a marshy, malaria-inf desert, in
habited only by few hardy shep-
herds.
Now. however. the law which was
recently passed. decreeing that any
one who does not cultivate his land to
the utmost of it's capacity is liable to
have the land confiscated, is begin
ming to have its effects. Prince Aldo
brandini has engaged company to
reclaim a huge estate of several thou
SANDS OF acres Whlch ne owns IN the
"campagna."
The work has already begun and an
experimental station has been set up
at Ostia. The land was first of all
drained and then arrangements were
made to obtain water from the Tiber
for irrigation. Electric tractors to
draw the plows were then bought
ard various kinds of fruits. vegeta-
bles and cereals cultivated in order to
find out how fertile the land is and
what kind of crop it is most adapted
for.
The results were beyond the widest
hopes of any of the promoters of the
company. The land. after lying idle
for centuries, seems to have stored up
it's fertility throughout all that time
and now yields crop upon crop with
unstinting hand.
An attempt has even been made to
grow cotton here an the experiment
has been successful. but how success
full it has been impossible to deter
mine. as the cotton used was of the
worst quality obtainable. This year,
however. it is proposed to plant Amer
lean or Egyptian cotton.
So happy have the results at the ex-
erimental station been that it is hoped
that soon work may be begun for the
total retaining of the whole of the
"campagna."

first civil case ever brought here from
another county, Clerk Shoemaker dock
eted the case on instructions from j.

sion.
Mr.. Morton and co-owners of large
ranch west of town are asking for
damages of S6. 900. which they claim
they sustained when the grade of the
Highway was cut around Ruthton

tract of fertile land for six months be-
cause the blasting of the grade covered
1t with stones ranging from pebbles to
boulders so large that they had to be
broken with charges of powder before
they could be removed. 1t is also as
serted that the road, connecting the
ranch with the city. was blocked and
that it was necessary to transport pro-
duce by river boat. Damage to wa
ter system is estimated in the com
plant at $500.
