 Saarbrucken, Jan. 8 - The last great major operation prescribed by the doctors at Versailles to cure the world in 1919 is being prepared for here.
 The operating room is the Saar basin, gritty coa1-seamed border. land between France and Germany. The surgeon Is the League of Ma tons. The patient is feverish and so are the patients neighbors. The day fixed for the operation Is Jan- uary 13, 1885. tf
 On that date 530,00O Saarland- CTS will be marching to the polls to announce their own political fu- ture. Such a vast vote for such purpose is unique. The vote is un- der international control. but fierce national presume makes the issue tense.
 have found the sooty air of this little .land--a Rhode Island sized territory with @ Yonkers- sized capital - electric with men, ace.
 THREE ALTERNATIVES
 One of three things can happen. Any one of them drags remorse- lessly after 1t a train of dangers. The three alternatives are: A triumph for Hitlerism; a triumph for the League of Nations; a triumph for France.
 The third possibility can be dis counted immediately. It takes no longer than a few days here to learn that the Saar is German. German speaking, German living. German born, and German-home- sick. Everyone admits 1t, even the French, who with business-like candor only recently came to an agreement with Germany on pay ments for the French-owned Saar mines.
 Hence the real problem of the plebiscite is not FrancO-German one. It has intensely troublesome Franco German angles. but it is internal. It concerns the nation of Germany first of all.
 Will the Saar choose to unite with Hitler? Will 1t choose instead to stay comparatively free. pro- tected by international care, until some day when Hitler might go, and the old Germany to which the Saar used to belong comes back again?
 That is what the Saar Plebiscite will tell.
 NOISY NAZIS
 Meanwhile, the propaganda struggle is grim. Hitler's people have splashed the Saar with red,

 Those eligible to vote in Janu- ary include every man or woman who on the 18th day of the month will be 20 years old and who was a legal inhabitant of the Saar on the 28th of June, 1919.
 They are streaming into town, those Saarlanders of 1919. They are coming, at the expense of tho Nazi government in Berlin, from

 Seventy per cent of the saar is Catholic.
 CURRENCY IN FLIGHT
 The Saar today is 8 country in the grip of fever, which only January 13 can break. Financial ly. 1t Is low fever, because mon- ey - French money. which nowa- days is the only legal currency - is taking flight. Refugees from Hitler Germany - there are G,000 here.-are sending 1t into France, preparatory to their own depart ure in case of a German victory. Businesses are doing the same thing. French are doing it too.
 Already, high official spokes- man revealed to me, there is a dcarth of credit which may in a short time be stringent. In some quarters they prophecy and earth of cash within few days. Indus- try is therefore coming to grind ing standstill. How much cur rency is in the Saar is a vital ques- ton, because currency may easily be a means of adjusting French money claims here, should Ger many win to- vote. But the fight has already been important and there is no way of Checking 1t. The Saar may soon be a rich coun- try without cash or credit.
 Saar-fever comes from other sources, too. It Is featured by Franco-Saar dlstrust and mutual dislike, as witness the recent al- most surreptitious erection of the Hindcnburg memorial on Berus Hill, a rocky tower facing proudly. warningly toward the French frontier. It is featured by mutual fear, by constant rumors and semi- panic. The French are assembling troops on their frontier. the false report spreads. An equally false report that German troops arc also nassing is the answer.
 BORDER TO BE CLOSED Two weeks before the plebis- cite, the Saar frontier will be closed. Strictly business" will be the password. No kibitZcrs. No agitators--if possible.
 If the league can accomplish 1t; the vote will be taken in good order. For the league it is vital that this should be so, for the Saar is cmphatically its most im- portant executive task to date. The running of Q sizeable Euro- pean territory for fifteen years, and the eventual handing-over to

CASUALTIES
BY THE SIAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

The little toy dog is broken and bent Which sturdy and staunch once stood, Then did hop, skip and jump If you wound him up extra good The talking dolly so nicely dressed With blue eyes and curly hair; Terrible things have happened to her And she's quite beyond repair. The long train of cars with double tracks That roared on the living room floor, Wrecked one day in collision head-on Now will run no more. Time takes it's toll, yes indeed Of toys you meant to keep; What can you do when they come to grief Alas and alack, but weep!

Alarm
At Bank in
New Turn

Ho, hum! Here's a new
variation of the false alarm
from a bank.
About once a week, some
janitor or employe steps on the
alarm button by mistake,
bringing out a flock Of scout
cars and motorcycle police,
ready to do battle with the
thugs.
Well, the alarm in the Amer

pany, Eighth and H Streets

ing, bringing the usual army of

But, strange to say, it wasn't
a janitor or a bank employee
responsible. 1t was a carpen-

touched the button.
