THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 12, 1920 AVE SILESIA FROM POLES, GERMAN CRY Desperate Efforts Made Swing Plebiscite. to NATION-WIDE CRUSADE ON I'lans, However, May Xot Carry, tor Entente Insists Election Slust Be Regular. BY CYRIL BROWN. (Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BERLIN, Dec. 11. (Special Wire less.) "Help save Upper Silesia from the Poles" is the slogan of the nation wide agitation to raise funds and en thusiasm to swing the plebiscite the fatherland's way. Germany is enter ing the last round of the finish fight for Upper Silesia with grim earnest ness and powerful propaganda. In accordance with a signal from the authorities, the whole German press, except the red communist or gans, is rooting for and featuring this propaganda day after day. The en tire country is liberally placarded with Upper Silesian propaganda post ers despite the shortage and the high cost of paper. The waste baskets of foreign correspondents are filling with unsolicited "news service mat ter." Berlin and other cities are under going an intensive appeal for funds raised by tag days. Band concerts and popular demonstrations in front of Ihe French embassy have been fea tures of the campaign. Big Propaganda Poshed. The magnitude of the home propa ganda may be gauged by the big benefit performance, promenade, con cert and dance in Reinhardt's big circus playhouse recently. Operatic, theatrical and moving picture stars took part, and despite the high prices, ranging from 60 marks for the top gallery to 500 marks for the boxes, and an Upper Silesian surtax of 40 marks on each bottle of champagne, the playhouse, seating 40,000, was sold out. Nearly 500,000 marks was raised for the plebiscite funds. All theaters and moving picture houses are making an extra charge on tickets for the Upper Silesian fund, while department stores and all big businesses have been mobilized into syndicates for the collection of con tributions to the fund. Organized workers in the state shipbuilding yards have voted to work one hour overtime and contribute the extra wages to the campaign fund. These are a few typical instances of the tremendous outburst of campaign activity throughout Germany. Mil lions are needed for carrying through the elaborate and thoroughly worked out offensive drive at the Upper Silesian polls. Entente, However, Firm. However, the entente's irrevocable insistence in the recent note, sug gesting that non-resident Upper Sile- sions should cast their votes in spec ified places outside that province, has taken considerable wind out of Ger many's biggest propaganda sail. The plan of battle on which Ger many counted with high hopes ap proximated certainty of its ability to turn the trick of saving Upper Si lesia, was to give all persons born in Upper Silesia women of voting age as well as men now residents in oth er parts of -Germany an opportunity to visit the place of their birth for a "home week" outing absolutely free of charge at plebiscite time.,!
