LOSS TO GERMANY.
POLES GAIN PART OF SILESIA. NEWSPAPERS TALK REVENGE. By Telegraph.—Press Asm.—Copyright. Received June 19, 5.5 p.m. London, June 19. The Daily Chronicle’s Berlin correspondent states flags were flown at half-mast throughout the whole countryside, as a sign of mourning over the handing over to the Poles of part of Upper Silesia. Instead of lessons, the school-children were instructed regarding the loss of part of the Fatherland, while bells tolled for half an hour everywhere. On Sunday, services of mourning were held in the Prussian churches. The newspapers are talking of revenge. The Deutsche Zeitung says: “We won’t fly our flag at half-mast, but will keep our old black, white and red flag ready for the day when, by our own might, the whole of Upper Silesia will again become part of Prussia. We believe firmly in a day of reckoning for Upper Silesia.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
