GERMAN TRICKERY.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Paris, Oct. 36.

The Germans in Upper Silesia and Schleswig are deporting antiGermans and replacing them by proGerman natives, who have been long resident in Germany. Moreover, anticipating failure of German propaganda prior to the plebiscite, they are seizing all wealth in those provinces. The Supreme Council has sent a Note to Germany, demanding that she desist. Received Oc. 39, 9 a.m. Copenhagen, Oct. 35.

The German newspaper Ereiheit states that agents throughout Germany are still recruiting Germans for the Russian army and supply passports enabling volunteers to cross the frontier.

Paris, Oct. 35

Germany has sent a thousand troops and many machine guns to Elensburg on the pretest of restoring order. The action is legal because evacuation is not compulsory till the Treaty is operative, but probably it will influence the plebiscite fn Schleswig. The Germans in Upper Silesia are conducting the municipal elections which under the Treaty must not be held until evacuation is complete. The Supreme Council has ordered Inquiry in both cases.
