gion, according to official returns re-
celved here. Two districts still are
missing, but the count shows $4,000
votes cast for Germany and 3S9 900 for
roland. Reports from Breslau say the
plebiscite was generally without unto.
ward incident.
Provisional returns published in

Germany, received 10000 votes to IL.
600 for Poland. In Tarnowitz the Ger.
mans cast SIS per cent of the ballots
and in the town of Beuthen they cast
rs per cent. In the Beuthen country

kattowftz and country districts gave
the Germans 1881 and Poles 66,1S7,
the town of Kattowitz voting German

rumors that the Poles had been con.
centrating an army on the Silesia
frontier were wholly without founda.
ton" Reports that 10000 Polish
troops were marching toward the bor-

along the Polish frontier showed the
presence of the usual Polish sentries,
but there virtually were no entente
troops on the Silesian side of the Dor.
