FIERCE REVOLT.
CONDITIONS IN SILESIA. AGAINST JOINING POLAND. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received May 1, 11.5 p.m. London, May 30. The Daily Chronicle's correspondent visited Silesia, and found that the fire of revolt was burning among a million and a half out of the two millions population. Despite the rain and cold, demonstrations were made againßt the proposal to give the Silesian mines to Poland. It was pointed out that the poople's sentiments were overwhelmingly in support of this attitude. A German leader declared that the entire working class was preparing to defend the home soil. A thousand with upheld hands swore in unison: "We will remain free till death rather than enter Polish slayery." The correspondent adds that th* people are in deadly earnest, and won't submit to control by people of lower culture. The Polish attempt at occupation of Silesia will precipitate a bitter and bloody war. —Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assoc.
