MISSION
WILL LEAVE FOR
UPPER SILESIA

Berlin, Friday, Aug. 22.-tBy the
Associated Press. AN inter-Allied
mission will leave this city for upper
Silesia within twenty-four hours and
the Polish commission which has been
comforting with government officials
will return to Warsaw and make a re-
port.
This new development was the out
of precipitated action by the
Poles who on Wednesday interrupted
negotiations with Germany, claiming
the upper Silesian situation such that
further deliberations were impossible.
1t was evident that this action came
as a surprise to Entente representa-
tives here. General Dupont, com
mander Of the inter-Allied commits
sion. expressed the view that the Ger
man government had sole authority
at present in upper Silesia-
1t is not expected that negotiations
with the Poles will be resumed until
after the inter-Allied commission had
reported and it's findings are accepted
as final until questions involved in
the occupation of, upper Silesia as we'll
as other disputes are settled by a
plebiscite. In the meantime the Ger
man government has agreed to mod
crate military measures now being
enforced in the region and to discon-
tinue executions.
