eminent consent to German troops en-
tering Upper SiIesia," the premier ex-
claimed 20 half hundred foreign cor
respondents whom he received at the

Of its power its duty IN Upper Silesia.
We have twelve thousand troops the e

send $4,000 troops there to help us the
disorders could be put down more
quickly.
The news received BY the foreign
office from Upper Silesia today is that

The French governments solution is
that the Allies should in the first place
