Submit in Silesia, Says Chief

he answered. THE Polish miners had
long decided that they would not be
ruled again by Germany and when the
interallied commission sent their
recomme ndation to Paris to draw a
line across SileSia. which placed the
big Polish population under the Ger
mans. the revolt was Immediate and
spontaneous.
Control Sources OF supply.
"The insurrectionists control the
water supply. electricity. fuel. food
and mines. They do not need the
towns. but they need US and they will
submit when they find that we cannot
be put down"

l could see the truth of korfanty's 8
statement The country was in arms,
the workmen are provided machine
guns and even with artillery. They
handle the guns clumsly, but like de-
termined men, and they are under the
leadership of efficient officers. half of
whom were in the uniform of the
army commanded by Gen. Joseph
Haller. commander in chief.
korfanty had said there are no
troops here from Poland and l saw
none but the officers came through
singly and obviously were sent from
Ioland to organize the miners.
Cities Running Out of Food.
The British and Italians are in a

Beuthen offered 1000 volunteers to
him as guards. but he refused. Prac-
say they would rather commit sui
