By Science Service WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. —German Silesia, a province of “Prussia toward which Stalih i¢ headed, is one of the most important industrial regions of the Reich, with fron ore, coal, oil, timber, and fiber for textiles.

Industrially it ranks next in importance to the Ruhr and Saar regions. It is also an important area from the food standpoint because it contains fertile lands that produce grains and feed ‘livestock for dairy products, meat and wool. Silesia is an area some 200 miles in length from northwest to sofitheast, and from 50 to 75 miles in width, projecting between pre-war Poland and Czechoslovakia. It is a region of mountains, hills and fertile valleys, with the Oder river running through its center and extending on to where it passes some 50 miles to the east of Berlin, Highways and railways follow the valley* to the German capital. Bres-

ad

lau. ‘with a pre-war population of over 600,000, is its most important city; it is approximately 200 miles from Berlin, The area of the province is about 14,000 square miles.

Bone of Contention

" Historically Silesia, which included German. Silesia and areas in prewar Poland, has long heen a bone of contention between Germany and Poland, Czechoslovakia and Austria. It has no distinctive natural boundaries. Its people are largely German in the cities and Polish on the land. Lower German Silesia, nearer Prussia proper, is largely protestant. Upper German Silesia, bordering catholic countries on three sides, is largely Roman catholic. Rural catholic Polish Silesians may be of assistance to the advancing Reds as they desire affiliation with Poland after the war instead of with the Reich, it is reported. Much of Silesia, however, has long been Ger=

Germany Wins Election

One of the great proble faced creation of Poland, was the attribu-~ tion of Upper Silesia with its great mineral wealth and its mixed population of 2,000,000 people. The Treaty of Versailles gave 122 square miles to Czechoslovakia and provided that the people in the remainder should decide whether to be part of Ger:many or of Poland by popular vote. At an election held in 1921 the German adherents won by nearly a twothirds vote, with all cities and some rural areas voting for attachment to the Reich. However, stormy days followed and finally 1241 square’ miles with a population of 90,000 was awarded to Poland, but the larger area went to Germany. Silesia has been a battlefield many times during the past centuries. During the thirty years’ war (161848) its lands were almost ruined,
