SILESIAN SITUATIJN GRAVE.

GERMAN FORCE OF SEVERAL THOUSANDS ASSEMBLES

A SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT.

LONDON, May 11.

It is authoritatively stated in London that the Polish insurgents in Silesia number 60,000. Besides the Pless and Rybnik districts they are established at Lubnitz and Rotenberg. The report that a German force of some thousands, including deserters, from the Reichswehr, is assembling hear Rosenberg is regarded as a serious development. It is recognised that the Germans have hitherto shown the greatest sell-restraint but the good impression their attitude has made in authoritative British circles would be ceutralised by an attempt to appeal to force. A very serious view is taken of the attitude of the Warsaw Government and recent happenings are strengthening the conviction that the extreme gravity of the position is imperfectly appreciated at Warsaw.

A SERIOUS FEATURE
