Thiiey are so far witirout any news of the oflicial decision. Should an appeal be made to the League of Natilons, it was said that an impartial 'tribunal mnight be asked to review the ilplebiscite. In such awase, it was suggested that a representative of the United States might be asked to serve, as 'was done by the League In the Aland Island dispute. It became known today that last November request was made of the state department by the Polish gov enent throulgh the Polish legation here for the appointment by the United States of an Ameriean repre sentative to observe the alleged II legal methods which, it was charged, Germany was resorting to in order to further her designs upon the territory. In a note to the state department of Novemnber 8, 1920, the attention of the Ameriean government Na% called by the Polish government "to the pow erful means of resistance and defense to defeat the piurpose of the plliscito" which the Gernmn government was or gainizing. "It is of the utmost value," it was further represented, "that the Uni-ted States government should realize how liip)ortant loois before the Vorld at present the question, whether Uie Silesla will be allowed ito remain at tached to Germany or will .be allotted to Poland. "On that queslon hinges entirely the future of German militarism, for without Silesia Germany is sure never to be able to undertake her revelnge."
