POLES INDIGNANT
ALLEGATIONS OF GERMAN PERSECUTION MANY ARRESTS IN DANZIG. LONG LENGTH OF FRONTIER CLOSED. (Received This Dav, 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, August 17. IVI. Chodacki has gone to Danzig, where the correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain reports Polish indignation over German persecution. The Polish Press claims that 386 Poles were arrested between January 1 and July .1, that 417 families were forced out of the Free City and children ordered to attend German schools. About 150 miles of the Polish-Ger-man frontier are now closed. Reuter’s Warsaw correspondent says that Weisner and several others have been released. A message from Berlin reports that Poland has closed her entire frontier with Bohemia and Slovakia. A Danzig report states that the reported firing at journalists at Dirschau (mentioned in an earlier cablegram) turned out to be the act of a boy who threw a stone at a garage window.
