CHARGES GERMANS
RULE BY MASSACRE

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-Declaring Ger
many had resorted to massacre in
Upper Silesia7 in order to establish
her power before the plebiscite was
held, the Polish secretary OF war,
Yorfanti, pleaded today that the allies
send a commission to organize the
country and preserve order.
THE Germans are killing peaceful
citizens in Upper Silesia," Yorfanti
asserted. Travellers from that dis
trict told me that sixteen persons
were executed at Gleiwitz in one day
without a trial The impression is
that the Germans are trying to shoot
prominent Poles so as to disorganize
the country and have an excuse to
massacre the population, thus improv-
ing Germany's chances in the plebi-
scite."
