GENEVA, May 1.-THE German
and Polish representatives attending
the sessions of the council of the
league Of rasions are ready to sign
tomorrow the economic treaty
agreed upon settling the Upper Sile-
sian question. The signing of this
treaty will conclude what the league
officials consider the leagues great
est political achievement. The Upper
Silesia agreement contains detailed
arrangements for dispositions OF the
railways. water, electric current and
coal, and postal as well as legal
problems for 10 years. 1t is de-
signed also to prevent economic
crises and provides for two Joint
Polish German commissions, the
first Of which is TO execute the
treaty and the second to settle pri-
vate disputes.
League experts believe the treaty
Will remov1 possible sources of war
between Germany and Poland and
France. and that it so pools Silesian
resources as to prevent either Ger
man or Polish industries from suf-
fering.
Ine Germans sun are dlSSatlSlled
with the territorial division based
on the pleblscite but feel that they
are comp nsated by the economic
arrangements. Settlement of the
long pending Silesian problem was
referred to the league by the allied

Bavarian Tyrol in which Oberam-

to participate in the play.
Fully half of today's audience was
made up of Americans.
The inhabitants of Oberammergau
are sparing no pains TO billet for

them generally. The visitors are
particularly impressed by all the eff

primarily by sincere motives of cor
diality and without consideration for
monetary advantages. The visitors
are largely billeted in the homes of
actors and actresses of the passion
play. The wife of Anton Lang as

Brilliant sunshine flooded the tiny

of rain. This afternoon was partly
cloudy but the performance of the

ON GENOA PLAN
LRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

GENOA, May 1.-THE Russian
delegation announced today that NJ.
Tchitcherin has prepared a note to
Signor Facta, president of the con-
ference, advising him that the Rus
slams will not deal with'any commits
soin to discuss Russian financial af-
fairs on which Russians are not of
ficially represented on equal terms
with the other powers.
NJ. Tchicherins note was sent to
Signor Facta tonight and members
of the Russian delegation said it was
framed after the Russian delegates
learned from the press that Mr.. Lloyd
George. M. Barthou and representa-
tiyes of the other inviting powers
were framing a compromise reply to
the Russians, in which it was planned
to have commission excluding the
Russians.
Since the suggestion was first
brought to the attention Of the boil
sheviki delegates. they have allowed
it to be known officially that they
would not permit their representative
or representatives on any mixed COM
mission to be huniliated or accorded
special treatment which would diff
ferentiate as between Russia and the
other powers.
After plans for such special treat
ment seemingly became definite, NJ
Tchitcherin and his associates de-
cided to take official notice, and in
timated today that if the inviting
powers formally submitted such a
proposition. It might result in the
departure of the Russians for Mos
COW. NJ. Tchitcherin has always
made it clear that Russia. prefers to
deal separately with the various ma
tions and he explained this afternoon
that when Russia consented to come
to Genoa. it was in the. belief that
the inviting powers would live UP to
the terms of the Cannes resolutions
and not try to bring Russian SOW
ereigntY into question.

was announced that the meeting had

In his statement on the proposed
mixed commission, Sir Edward Grigg
explained that it was practically inn
possible for all the powers in the
conference to have representatives

limited number to handle Russian
affairs just as was done at Genoa and
that the Russians doubtless would

DETROIT, May 14-Midnigbt OF
May Is sees crepe hung at the door
OF private traction monopoly in De-

Mayor James Couzens dream OF
municipal ownership is coming true.
Detroit is going into the business of
running all its street cars.
Thirty years warfare ends with
the city paying $19.S50.000 for 2TS
miles of track. 1929 cars, two power
stations. and sS.000,00 worth of real

Racked into a corner the Detroit

the growth of competitive municipal
lines OF SO miles of track--agreed to
sell for $31 1000, 000 Mayor Couzens
said $19S50,000 or nothing-and won.
The dawn OF complete municipal
ownership of street car lines finds
Detroit owner of 332 miles of track
and 1,557 cars as we'll as employer
of 1000 men.
1T means civic harmony and a
better community" says Couzens.

Just so many contacts with the peo-

Or the people will change the admin
istration.'
Couzens thinks every city can
swing the club of municipal owner
ship over its traction lines. And he
doesn't intend to stop here. He is
planning purchase OF the gas supply
next year.
A canvass OF traction employees

JUST NONSENSE

One hears a good deal of non- sense now and again from other sections of Alaska about the coast reaion. None IS more nonsensieal than the sometimes made remark: The coast is not Alaska at all, Ala ska is the Interior and Seward Pen insula regions" The absurdity of such a remark is instantly recog- nizable when it is considered that Alaska became known through the activities of people on the coast. Sitka in Southeastern Alaska was established 119 years ago, and it was there that Alaska was turned over to the United States nearly fifty five years ago. For practically three decades after the transfer nearly all Alaskan ac ivity was con- fined to the coast. In those days people talked of Alaska (the coast country) and the Yukon (the in- terior country.) Nearly all of the real sourdoughs who went into the Yukon country prior to 1897-- i thirty years after the acquisition of 1 Alaska had experience at Juneau or ether coast points before going there. To say that the Alaskan coast country is not Alaska, there
 fore, is equivalent to saying that Alaska began with the klondike stampede. There are pioneers on the Alaskan coast who still look upon the Klondike stampeders as
 Chechakos, and upon Dawson, Fair
 banks and Nome as new mushroom ltowns still in the experimental stage. I've have native born white flask Ians out here on the coast who have spent theM allotted three-score-and-
