Last Match Gives
Signal And Rescue
OF Schooner Crew
[RepubIIean A. p. leased WIrel

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Without
food and water for two days and dur
ing that time lashed to the cabin
hatch of their water logged craft TO
prevent them being washed overheard,
Captain V. NJ. Cole and seven MEM
bers of the crew of the American
schooner James VI. w. Hall, arrived
today onthe steamship West Canon,
which rescued them $50 miles SOUTH
east of Cape May. n. j.
Virtually abandoning hope of being
picked up alive, the shipwrecked crew
used its remaining dry match Friday
night set fire to a dishpan or gaso-
line in a last desperate attempt to
make known its plight. The flare
was seen from the West Canon which
rescued them $50 miles southeast Of
Cape May, N. j.
The schooner, which left Charleston.
S. c., for Boston, on January 5, with
a cargo of lumber, was abandoned.
She registered 491 tons. When condi-
tions became bad on the endangered
ship the captain ordered al men to
lash themselves to the hatch of the
cabin. Except for brief intervals
when a man would risk the fury of
the seas to, send up distress signals,
they remained that way for two days
and nights without food or drink.

UPPER S|LES|A FUSS
OPENS NEW PROBLEM
FOR LEAGUE COUNCIL
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Upper
Silesia negotiations which are enter
ing their final stage before the league
of nations council at Geneva, present
a number of points new TO European
settlement, according to a statement
by the League Of Nations news bu-
reau.
The Upper Silesia problem has been
the first and only important diplo-
matte conflict of the peace conference
which has gone outside the control
Of the major allied powers: the de-
cision reached by the league council
introduced into European settlement
the new principle that economic and
political frontiers need not necessarily
coincide; the working out of those
highly detailed economic agreements
has been entrusted TO the combined
efforts of the German and Polish gov
ernments working together under the
league of nations and through repre-
sentatives Of the Upper SileSian in
terests directly involved.
In accordance with these general
principles, German and Polish dele
cations met at Geneva in November.
Immediately agreement was reached
for the appointment Of eleven sub
commissions. The commissions were
each to prepare ltS Speclal part Oh
the final convention between Ger
many and Poland concerning rail-
ways, distribution of electricity, the
currency regime, postal and tele-
graphic services, the customs regime,
the distribution of coal and mineral
products, employers and miners asSo-
Citations, social insurance system of
frontier permits, private law and
private rights, Questions of national
ity and domicile and minorities.
The reports of these commissions
were to be completed before January
15. While at first the Germans were
very hostile to, and the British quite
critical of the settlement, opinion
seems to be becoming favorable, the
bureau says especially as the German
public more fully understands the
economic provisions and takes part in
working them out. 1t is expected
that the whole convention may be
completed within few weeks.

Soviets Unable To
Pay Debts Without
Help From Powers

MOSCOW, Jan. 15.--"Until Rus
sia knows what assistance foreign
powers will give toward her recon
struction, it is impossible to make a
statement about the payment of for
eign debts" said Maxim Litvinoff,
chief of the soviet legations abroad
today.
Russia now is unable to pay and
can not estimate her ability to pay in
the future unless she learns what
outside financial help she will receive.
That is a matter for negotiation.
His statement was virtually a reit-
Grafton Of what Leon Trotzky, Leonid
Krassin and other soviet leaders said
prior to being informed of the inVi-
tation to the Genoa conference.
Litvinoff added that Genoa was an
undesirable location for conference,
because of the inadequate facilities
for telegraphic or wireless commu-
nuication with Moscow. further
more, he said, Italy has not been
able TO protect the soviet represen-
tatives in that country from attacks.
London, he declared, was desirable
point for the conference.

of books. Not preachers alone, but
statesmen, professional men and mer-
