Knox. republican. Pennsylvania. pro-
poses that the peace terms and the

This new development was the out
come OF precipitate action by the Poles.
who on Wednesday interrupted nego-
tiations with Germany, claiming the
Upper Silesian situation was such that
further deliberations were impossible.
1t was evident that this action came as
a surprise to the entente representatives
here. Gen. Dupont. commander OF the
commission, expressed the
view that the German government had
sole authority at present in Upper
Silesia.
1t is not expected that negotiations
with the Poles will be resumed until
after the interallied commission had re-
ported, and its findings are accepted as
final, until questions involved in the
occupation of Upper Silesia. as well. as
other disputes, are settled by a plebiscite.
In the meantime the German govern
ment has agreed to moderate military
measures now being enforced in the re-
gion and to discontinue executions.
