openly admitted the original appfo-
priation of 100000 marks was sup
pIemented again and again until. in
10 years. more than half of Posen had
been bought for German colonists.
Still the Poles predominated. More
kept coming from Poland and opposi-
ton to the German program was inten-
sified as the measures became har-
sher.
Even Germany was scandalized
when, in 1902, it was brought to light
in the Prussian parliament that pu-
pills had been whipped by the whole
sale for declining to say the Lords
Prayer in German. But the opposi
ton of the grownups did not cause
the worldwide interest aroused by
the school children's strike in 1906
when about 100000 Polish pupils took
that means of protesting against be-.
ing beaten when they would not an
swer questions in German. The Trus-
sian government refused to accede to
the. request Of the archbishop of Posen
that children be permitted TO receive
religious instruction in Polish. Par
ents who withdrew them from school
were imprisoned.
Efforts TO absorb or crowd out the
Poles by German colonization hav-
ing failed, a measure was passed for
the appropriation of Polish land.
Further laws were enacted compel
ling wider use of the German Ian
guage. Then came the Kattowitz in
cident, in 1910, browning series of
petty prosecutions which bordered on
the absurd, wherein number of minor
officials who had voted for Poles at
municipal election were removed from
Office.
Posen is smaller. territorially, than
Maryland, but had half a million more
population In 1910. About million
Poles-more than half the total popu-
lation in Posen-were established
there before the World war. Posen
has mineral deposits of Ignite and
salt. Much of its land was titled. Its
manufactured products, besides those
of its breweries and distilleries. were
sugar, cloth, tobacco, bricks and ma
chinery.

POSEN, THE EXPERIMENT
STATION FOR "KULTUR" !.

The province of PoSen, formerly
part of Germany's eastern Prussia.
and one of the most important frag-
ments of old Poland, which has been
Incorporated in the new war-born Po-
land, was the unhappy experiment
station for some of Prussia's most Wig
orous and futile efforts TO Germanize
an alien population.
Until the northern portion of PoSen
fell to Prussia, after the first par
tition of Poland in 1772. and the re-
mainder was annexed TO Prussia II
years later, Posen's history was blend
ed with that of Poland. In connection
with the first partition, it will be re-
called that Frederick the Great adopt
ed the ingenious scheme of surround
ing those parts of Poland he desired
with q military force, on the pretext
that he was seeking TO check the
spread of cattle disease.
After being banded for brief pc
ried, Posen fell to Prussia again in
1915, and for more than half a cen
tury Germany paid little heed to it.
After the division of the vast estates
and other economic changes, Polish
middle classes in Posen began to pros
per. whereupon, toward the last quar-
ter of the nineteenth century, Prussia
began to take notice of its provincial
"Topsy." Germans had been immi-
grating there since the thirteenth CEN
fury and the newcomers. at first were
welcomed. Severance of Posen from
Poland changed that feeling though
open friction was not generated until
Prussia began her repressive meas
ures.
Polish mobiles had kept alive Po-
isl. traditions, but Prussia was more
alarmed by the prosperity of the Poles
than by what. today, might be called
the mobiles propaganda. So she set
about Germanizing Posen, both by COL
onization and by compulsion, much as
she attempted to do TO the French in
Alsace.
PrusSia's first move was 70 make
German the language of the schools.
Police were ordered To dispense meet
ings where Polish was spoken.
After is years that program failed
to make much of Prussian impress
sion upon Pcsen. so a commission was
set up. in 1884. to buy land from
the Poles for German settlement. Be-
fore the failure of this policy was

DIGGING INTO HISTORY

Recent deciphering of a clay tablet
Which may add a thousand years to
the span of recorded history-for it

psychologists are finding stranger true

pick and the spade of the explorer

tions, says a communication to the
National Geographic society from Al
bert L. Clay, who has deciphered some
of the most famous of the documents.
Above all else. one of the great
est surprises is that the earliest peo-
pies, instead of being .barbarous or
uncultured, were civilized and pos
sessed a culture OF a high order"

Years ago the library of Ashurbanipal
(66S-626 B. CD was discovered at
Nineveh. In more recent years tenn
pie and school libraries have been
found at Nippur, Sippar, Larsa, Baby
lon, and Erech. The libraries of the
first three sites belong chiefly to the
third millennium B. c.; those of the
last two belong to later periods.
But especially large archives of
these documents, numbering several
hundred thousand and belonging to
the third and fourth millenniums B.
c.. have been found at TellO, Nippur,
Drehem, Jokha, and recently at Or.
1.-THE Code of Hammurabi, written
about 1000 B. c., upon large and
somewhat irregular stele, is perhaps
the most important monument of an
tiquity Of high order. In codifying
his laws, Hammurabi arranged them
in a definite and logical order, based
upon accepted judicial decisions. In
no better way is it possible to become
acquainted with the everyday life of
the ancient Babylonian than by care

TABRIZ: PERSIA'S CAPITAL
CITY

Tabriz, capital of Persia, from
which diplomatic representatives re-
Gently fled at the approach of Boil
shevik forces, is one of the most i'm
portant cities in Persia. Its popula-
ton is about 100000. Teheran, the
capital. is the only place in the do
minions of the shah which exceeds it
IN size.
II is beautifully situated in a wide
valley on the River Ali, which flows
into the salt lake of Urumiah 30 miles
10 the west. Although apparently sur
rounded by mountains, Tabriz has an
elevation of more than 1900 feet and
the climate in winter is extremely
severe.
Hundreds of springs and fountains
water thousands of beautiful gardens
in this ancient city which for cen
tnries has enjoyed deserved repu-
ration as a health resort. Indeed, ira
dition says that the place was found

Rashid. hero of the Arabian Nights"

country equal civil rights with the ma
tionals of any other foreign nation.

tlemen's agreement" so as to make it
conform to present-day requirements,
and to that end would absolutely pro-
hibit Japanese emigration to America
and the Hawaiian islands, while admit
ting it TO the Philippines.
At home the Japanese government
was violently attacked by the oppo-
stion leaders for its alleged failure
in diplomatic negotiations with the
United States. Great Britain, China
and Siberia, and for keeping troops in
Siberia. In reply to the latter charge
Premier Hara said he would like to
withdraw those troops, but he be-
lieved their maintenance in Sibe.. "a
was necessary for the national de-
Tense. He admitted that the bolshe-
wing of Siberia could not be checked.
Hundreds of thousands of workers
in the United States are without EN-
ployment, but the situation is growing
better daily. In the North the textile
mills and many of the automobile
plants are reopening, and in the South
the cotton mills are resuming opera
tons. To be sure, the worker is often
compelled to accept either shorter
week or reduced wages. The down
ward trend in pay has now reached
the railways, and last week the labor
committee Of the American Associa-
ton of Railway Executives met in
Chicago TO lay plans for request
that the United States railway labor
board authorize a reduction of wages.
One minor road in the Southeast al
ready has asked for such authority.
The railway executives say that at
the present rates the properties are
not earning the per cent return
guaranteed by the transportation act
that the rates now are as high as the
business can be expected to bear;
that forces have been cut to the mini
mum consistent with safe operation,
and that the only remaining place for
a reduction In expenses is the wage
scale. They also will show the fed
eral board that wage increases of
more than 120 per cent since the
President signed the Adamson eight
hour law have accounted for almost
two-thirds of the increase in operat-
ing expenses from $3,100,000,000 to
nearly $6,00OO00,000 year and that
the national industrial conference
boards estimates show that the cost of
living has decreased.

CHERSO: MAY BE THE
RELGOLAND OF
ADRIATIC

1he RapallO agreement of last No
veinber Which fixed the status of the
troublesome city of Fiume and dis
posed OF other moot points in regard
10 territory on the eastern shore OF
the Adriatic sea. gave Italy an inn
portant foothold near Eiume in the OBJ
scure island of Cherso.
Practically unheard of on this side
OF the Atlantic, eluding most travel
ers, even escaping many of the seek
ers after the little-known places of
Europe, Cherso neither is inaccessi-
bic nor unattractive.
1t bangles like a pendant in the
Gulf of Quarnero, low hung from the
neck of Fiume 1t is the Long Island
OF that port, its shore line rising II
miles to the south. It's slender form
extends to the southwest for 40 miles,
though it never exceeds seven miles In
width, and its area is somewhat more
team twice that of the District of
Columbia
Holding in mind this location, near
the head of the Adriatic, in view of
the plans to make Fiume buffer
state between Italy and Jugo-Slavia,
the strategic possibilities of Cherso
become apparent. Inded one may pic
ture it as a potential Helgoland of
the Adriatic.
a natural curiosity of the island is
Lake Vrana, or Crows Lake, with
surface 40 feet above the sea level,
fed and drained by invisible streams.
The island is rugged, with one noun
tain peak rising more than 1000 feet
above the Quarnero waters. Gibral-
tar-like rocks rise precipitously
1000 feet along one of it's shores.
Here are the dome-Iike caverns of
Sruergo, now protected from the sea
by wave-built rock barrier.
The devastating Bora, which sweeps
the Dalmatian coast, drips it's salt
spray over Cherso, excluding many va
rieties of plant life. The absence of
large trees and scarcity of springs
are two physical characteristics. In
the north laurel and mastic grow, and
vines and olive trees abound in the
southern portion.
POhS.sily Cherso was included in
Istria, when under Austrian rule
WIKI its neighbor islands, Lussin. to
thf southwest, and Veglia, to the
east, it was a part of the Lussin dis
trict.
Cherso lies off the shores of the
northern part of Dalmatia and the
CrOatian littoral, region formerly
known as Morlacchia. The Morlac-
CHA channel preserves this name orig
mating with the Slavic invaders of
Dalmatia, who "called the Latinized
people they found there Vlachs, or
Mavro- Vlachs-Black Vlachs." Thus
the Slavs of this region have come to
be Known, by, corruption of this
title, as Morlachs.
In rural districts Morlacchian wom-
en- retain their historic costume, which
includes kerchief for the head, many
strands of beads, a waist band from
which hang amulets and various trink-
cts, and, over blue cloth gown, an
apron of exquisite embroidered pat
tern. About her neck an unmarried
girl wears a string of coins and rings
which comprise her dowry. Formerly
the men wore their hair In a plat.

Supreme Council Attempts to
Settle German ReparationS
and DisarnamentS.
EXTEND TIME FOR LATTER
Austria's Plight to Be Investigated
Morris and Shidehara Devise Plan
for Americana Japanese Accord
Railways Prepare to
Ask Reduction of
Wages.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Germany, Austria and Turkey were
on the anxious seat last week; and va
rious other nations were only less con-
cerned. For the supreme council of
the allies was in session in Paris dis
cussing, Preparations, disarmament the
salvation of Austria and the revision
of the treaty of Sevres. Between ses-
sions Premier Lloyd George lunched
and dined and talked in private with
Premier BRAND, and gradually won
him over to a policy of greater con-
Citation. 1t is probable that this was
quite agreeable to M. BRAND, but he
had to put up some argument to salts
fly the French people, who are doomed
to disappointment.
When the matter of German repara-
lions came up, Doumer, the French
minister of finance, made a long adj
dress in which he insisted that France
must be paid 400,000,000,O00 gold
marks. He stated, as the policy Of
France, that. Germany must be pre-
sented with an itemized bill for war
supreme council should then fix the
amount that Germany must pay within
the next five years. Lloyd George and
his colleagues wished to concentrate
on what Germany is able to pay, and
said there were three ways in which
gold and in goods. The discussion de-
veloped that Great Britain has objecs
tions to the two last named. 1t is held
that if Germany is compelled to pay
over any considerable amount of the
hundred million gold marks she is sup
posed to be holding as reserve, the
mark would become practically worth
less and the economic situation in Eu-
rope would be worse than ever. The
British also point out that If Ger
many pays in goods the markets would
be glutted and English industries
ruined. One other method of partial
payment to France has been proposed
the sending of German laborers TO
reconstruct the devastated regions.
But this is opposed by France on the
ground that the people of those re-
gions are without employment and
need the payment for doing the re-
construction work.
1t was on the question of disarm-
ament that the French yielded most
General Nollets report said that the
Germans were not faithfully carrying
out the treaty terms in that respect,
but this was contradicted by the re-
port of the British General Bingham.
The councils military experts, with
Marshal F9ch as chairman. then got to-
-gether and agreed to abandon the orig
inal French demand that the civil mil
itary organizations of Bavaria and
East Prussia be disbanded at once.
A delay until July / was granted, but
Foch insisted on guarantees by mill
tary occupation OF the Ruhr district if
the terms were not executed by that
date. In view of the stubborn atti-
tude maintained by the governments
of Bavaria and East Prussia and the
leaders of the organizations in ques-
ton. it is not easy TO see how the CEN
trail government at Berlin can bring
about the disarmament by July If, as
Ii says, fl cannot do so now.
