ii was obvious that the Germans were
taking extreme measures to intimidate
the Polish element, in order to line
them up for a vote in favor of Ger
many. and TO make it impossible for
the loyal Poles to remain to cast their

An American who visited this dis
puted section late last summer
brought back many stories Of German
terrorism, and took a quantity of
photographs as evidence. One OF these
showed a Polish youth with great
scars across his back-the result of
beating which he had received from
the Germans for selling copies OF
Polish newspaper a the mine-w orkers
in Upper Silesia. This man reported
high degree of military development
by the Germans and the installation of
elaborate Notifications. American and
BRITISH newspaper correspondents
both reported in detail on the cam

by the Germans. Attempts were be-
ing made constantly to infuriate the
Polish troops into crossing the border

many alien observers that the Ger
