Western Frontier Also
Are Considered Probable

BERLIN. Jan. 3 BY The Associated
Press). The German Cabinet o-day
continued its consideration of the
Polish question. but no announcement
has yet been made.
The "Tageblatt" says it learns that
the pessmistc view of the situation
held by Minister Ernst, who has just
returned from Posen, is not shared by
the government, which is believed TO
have decided that military action is
necessary to check the Polish inva-
sion. The Cabinet also is reported to
be considering military measures to
prevent the irruption or the Russian
Bolsheviki across the eastern frontier.
Special dispatches TO the Berlin
newspapers report that Polish inva-
gion Of Upper Sllesia.
The Poles, it is declared, have capt
ured the railway junction of NakcI,
west Of Bromberg, and the invaders
also threaten Schneidomuh and Bout-
schcr. In Southern Posen the Poles
threaten Kosten Further north, they
have taken Mogilno and Znin.
The Socialist "Vorwaerts" and the
bourgooisie papers join in voicing in
dignation over what they call the un
justifiablc attitude OF the Polish gov
eminent. The organs of the 1nde-
pendent Socialists and the Spartacans
are the only papers to oppose military
action against the Poles.
