Berlin, July 8.
A gathering Of Monarchists and old
militarist leaders in Breslau indicates
that the German Nationalists are max
ing preparations for defence of Upper
Silesia should the decision Of the Allies
be unfavorable to Germany, and possi-
bly, for even further action should the
Wirth Cabinet prove unable to weather
the storm. In announcing in the
Reichstag his taxation scheme for rails
ing $4,000. 100000 paper marks during
the coming year Chancellor Wirth
made the fulfllme mt of the programme
conditional on the Allies conceding
the justice Of the German plebiscite
decision in Upper Silesia as we'll as on
the removal of the occupation sane
tions and the closing of the Rhineland
frontiers against the importation of
luxuries.
The Chancellors hasty departure from
Berlin to Breslau last night shows that
there Is considerable anxiety in Demo-
cratic Government circles over the situa-
tion. The Berlin Socialists are openly
asking for protection from counter mill
tary organizations and are warning the
Government that revolt similar to the
Kapp insurrection is threatening. Gen.
Won der Goltz, Capt. Erhardt. leader Of
the famous marine brigade at Rosbach
and other notorious Monarchist officers
are reported to be in Breslau.
DISH rm anne Dimcult.
The Allies note demanding the dis
armament of the German volunteer units
now recrossing the frontiers from Upper
Silesia has embarrassed the German
Government, a high German official said
tonight to The New YORK HERALD cor
respondent.
I'VE are bound by the treaty to pre-
vent the Importation of arms and mill
tary formations" he said. but disarm-
ing Gen. Won Hoefer's forces would leave
the Germans helpless during the forth
coming Polish uprising which we know
Is now being prepared"
THE NEW York HERALD correspondent
then sought allied officials and asked
how far the disarmament orders are
being executed. The French stated that
the Interallied Control Commission Is
there, but It hardly expects more than
formal satisfaction because the German
nationalist organizations continue re-
cruiting and existing formations are
maintained.
Gen. Won Hoefer's forces of irregulars
in Upper Silesia have more than fifty
suns, the Control Commission informed
the correspondent. Gen. Nollet, head OF
the Allied Commission. stated that the
German Government has made formal
fulfilment of the essential disarmament
demands, but the actual execution of
this programme would not be measur-
able until after the two months inven-
tory Is completed.
Orders Disregarded.
The Allied officials informed the cor
respondent that frequently the German
Governments orders are disregarded by
the subordinate officials. The disarna-
ment commission refused to have further
relations with the German disarmament
ministry after a long series of arrogant
letters and ignored requests and now all
business passes through the Foreign Of
flee. The terms OF Bavaria's submission
to the Allies demands involved the de-
livery Of some 100000 rifles and 2.7s0
machine guns, but the Allies have no
idea Of the quantity of arms still re-
naming.
The French are concerned almost ex-
clusively with the disarmament pro-
gramme while the British are concen-
trating their attention on Industrial
supervision. and are now taking the
initiative in the Transformation OF Ger
man war industries to peace uses.
Constant petty deceptions have now
led the Allies to a decision to continue
military control indefinitely. Allied Of
ficials say that they regard fears OF a
German military revival in the near fu-
ture as unfounded. but they add that the
present disarmament measures of the
Allies are absurd without including per-
manent industrial control, when the
German factories are capable of manu-
featuring thousands OF machine guns
daily.
