C.f headquarters of the National Geographical society. The boundary line of Germany in the East sketched out the open mouth of a gigantic hipxiputamus, its teeth seemingly planted in the westward bulge of Russian Poland. The lower jaw was Silesia, and the lowest part of it, jiaradoxically, Upier Silesia. But the paradox is more apparent than real, for Uier Silesia obtains its name not because of its relative latitude, but because of its mountainous character. In the auutheasternmost part of the old German empire, tucked in between and Russia, was the part of Upper Silesia which gives the country its great value and makes it a territory worthy of the strenuous efforts that have been put forth to possess it coal fields covering over a thousand square miles and constituting the most extensive deposit of high grade coal in Europe. The tptal available supply is estimated at sixty-tw- o billion tons, which ia slightly greater than that in the mure familiar Ruhr Valiev field of Western Germany. The bare tonnages do not tell the whole story, for while the Ruhr coal is partly of inferior quality that in Upxr Silesia is practically all of highgrade. Germany, not unnaturally therefore, hxiked on the retention of Ui-jiSilesia aa a necessity if she was to win her way bark to world imxirt-anc- e industrially. Its value had been amply demonstrated, for the tossea-sio- n of this district made it possible for Germany to carry on the war as long as she did, even though most of the world was arrayed against her. Similarly Poland felt that an independent economie existence and a strength capable of withstanding military aggression from both East and West could not be achieved by her without Upper Silesias eoal.
