 The inter allied commission the note declares, admits that the Ger man population is blameless and has promised to intervene, but, unfor- tuhateiy, with the exception of the celebration of martial law, no tan gible success in the suppression of the~revolt can be observed.

 The main body of Polish forces is said to have crossed the border in motor lorries at a. m. Monday talk ing possession of the border towns, tloTing up railway bridges and cut ting wires.

He learned of the Paris reHort then being circulated that the council of ambassadors had decided 10 give only the Pless and Rybnik districts to Poland

Byl Monday afternoon the whole southern section east and north or CoseI was held by the invaders, who, however, were not in complete pos sesslion m of Kattowitz, and had met their first serious resistance from the Italians in Rybnik.
 The right wing of the Polish forces then turned north from Tarnowitz andi today are reported marching to- ward Lubinitz. Isfench authorities are hopeful of establishing the government, and say that the invaders will be expelled But 1t is pointed out that the whole coun- try.is overrun and the task VIII pe difficult, if not impossible, as the peasants are known to sympathize with the Poles. The Poles also feel no Tear of French opposition It IS aid they believe their action meets with the tacit approval of the French
