the lowest bid, but when the tags

come up to the requirements, and
at the suggestion Of License Clerk

Seventy thousand tags have been

SILESIANS ARE TIRED

Conflicts BetUeen Germans

Copyright, 1921, by THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin, Aug. 2S.
The disorders and conflicts between
the Germans and the Poles in Upper
Silesia are decreasing after the terror
ism, plundering and misery which fol-
lowed the propaganda and the uprising
there. both Germans and Poles from the
Province told correspondent for
THE NEW YORK HERALD. A small
farmer near Rosenberg who voted
for Poland In the piebiscite asserted that
many Silesians were shocked at the cx-
tefs. OF the destruction OF property ard
the number Of murders committed and
now they would not join the agitators
from either side in the controversy.
Both the Poles and the Germans In
Upper Silesia keep their local defence
organizations. but they remain quiet,
The natives also realize that the untruth-
fulness of the propaganda carried on
there was largely responsible for the up
rising.
Polish agents came 10 me and prom
ised me twenty acres OF land and a COW
from a large estate and | voted Polish, ="
one Polish farmer said. But when
Poles came and destroyed the farm cf
my nelShDorS ana damaged mine and
| saw their poverty | realized that such
bands could not make good their prom
ises''
The Upper Sllesians now resent the
presence in the Province OF agitators
from either Berlin or Warsaw. Both
factions agree that there would be
common gain resulting from cessation
of propaganda BY both sides.
Reports from Southern Silesia indi-
cate that Polish sympathies still are
strong there but the early unbounded
enthusiasm has been followed by cool
considerations which are not altogethe.
