The agreement was reached at the end of secret conference lasting 12 hours.
 Relief is expressed that the confer ence may result in a joint appeal by Germans and Poles to the league of nations for a prompt settlement of the Silesia question. It is also stated that if such request is made the petitioners probably will ask for an undivided Silesia, all for Poland or all for Germany
 Both the interallied commission in -Silesia and the Berlin government are said to have known that today's conference was contemplated, but no attempt was made at interference. Immediately after the meeting Jo- names Lukachek. one of the most powerful German leaders in Silesia. went to Oppeln, where he reported to General Henniker. the British commander, at specially arranged meeting.

 'The conferees were always agreed as sto the principal of avoiding any more attempts to overthrow the gov
 ernment by force. but they differed
 as to methods of which their aims
 were to be attained. It was the hardest days work of my life. but believe 1t was justified by the order now issued as far as internal affairs of Silesia are concerned.
 While some officials say they be- lieve another attempt to take control of the plebiscite zone will be made | by a revolt of Polish soldiers. Po- fish sources stoutly deny that there is 1 the slightest danger. Meanwhile work in mines, factories and on rail- ways is proceeding normally except | in isolated instances in the Pless and | Rybdnik districts"
 | There are few idle workmen. The l only evidences of the recent uprising are seen in the bullet battered houses | and German signs hanging beside others, which are repainted ano | changed into Polish.
