&Y TAKE APPEAL
today. 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."
