POLISH JEWS
BRUTAL DEPORTATION FROM GERMANY SEVEN THOUSAND ADMITTED TO HOME COUNTRY. STORIES OF ILL-TREATMENT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. BERLIN, October 31. Six thousand deported Poles, mostly Jews, have been permitted to go home from Germany amid scenes of joyful reunion. Those expelled from Germany were followed and speeded up by guards, who fired pistol shots over their heads and warned them not to look back under pain of death. Four are reported to have died. Several women gave birth to children in the no-man’s-land between the frontier posts or at border stations. Warsaw reports that 7000 Polish Jews were allowed to cross the frontier from Germany. Those arriving at Chognice complain of brutal treatment by the Germans, but praise the conduct of the Polish authorities.
