rival of Allied Com mission.

Paris, Feb. 8, (By the Associated Press)-The Allied commission which leaves for Poland next Saturday to adjust controversies between the Poles and CZecho- Slovaks over the Teschen coal fields has arranged a truce between the two nationalities pending arrival of the commission and personal examination by it of the situation there.
 The arrangement prescribes the sections where the Poles and Czechs are to exercise civil administration and military occupation and regulates the operation and disposition of the output of the mines. As soon as pos sible after it's arrival the commission will go to Teschen to examine the matter at issue. This, although al most unknown to the outside world, has been 8 very important and dan gerous factor affecting relations be- tween the newly created states.
 Title to the Duchy of Teschen is in volved in the controversy. This duchy was formerly a, part of the crown lands Of Austrian Silesia and has @ population of less than 500,000. It is about the size of Rhode Island. It is NaludDlc because the COdl u pIOduC6S is the only coal within the boundaries of either Poland or Czecho- o-Slovakia which will coke, and it is regarded as indispensable to the manufac turing interests of each state.
 The Czechs' claim rests on suzerain- ty exercised over the country by the kings of Bohemia in the fourteenth century and the fact that coking coal is more essential to them than to the Poles. They point out that he rail- road running through the district is the only connecting link between two sections of Czecho- -Slovakia.
 The Poles, on the other hand hold that the section should be divided along ethnological lines. This system would give them control.
