German-Polish war is impending today in Silesia. Final engagements with numerous dead have occurred already between Polish forces and German irregulars, each side claiming the rich mining district. Heavier fighting might mean the starting of a new conflagra- tion which is expected from hour to hour. “Only the voluntary readiness of the Poles can prevent the Germans fro mattempting a big counter offen- sive,” General Marinis, ommander of the Italian plebiscite troops, declared in an exclusive interview with the United Press today. Marinis said he heard the Germans had organized a defense league of 10,000 men at Kreugburg and elsewhere in Silesia. "It is a question, however, of how long they will be held back,” he de- clared.

He adhered to his speech in commons last week when he said the Silesian situation imperil- ed the peace of Europe and declared Germany has as much right as Poland to invade Silesia. The French press, he said, had been impertinent in its criticism of anyone disagreeing with its view. He said such action by the press would be fatal to any entente. The premier deciared that the na- tion which’had come to France’s ! port during the war agreed wii Great Britain that Poland had ex- ceeded its rights by invading Silesia. The allied supreme council or %hc Polish leader Korfanty, must decide Silesia’s fate, Lloyd George declared. “Likewise,” he said, ‘“the allies co- operating must decide the fate of the world.” “The treaty 6f Versailles is an in- finitely momentous document. Those who treat its provisions as the sport of passion are prejudiced and may not have to live long before they lack their hot-headedness. It is temporari ly difficult to send troops into Upper Silesia but the difficulty will be over- come.” “I call attention to the fact that we agreed to use the British fleet if Germany disobeys the supreme coun- cil’s mandate.” A gal]é tslgonfes ands:g:et:xppendlx.

RAIL LABOR BOARD TO ANNOUNCE WAGE CUTS (By United Press) Chicago, May 18.—Reduction of fraighy and passenger rates on the railroads is expected to follow the cut iy wages of laborers, by those in touch with the railroad situation today. Reduction in wages of com- mon lahorers on all railroads amounting to approximately $400,~ 000,000 will be announced by the federal railroad labor board here on June 1, effective July 1. Only 11 roads have filed asking for cuts but all others are expected to file petitions before the cut in com- mon labor is announced June 1. There are about 500,000 unskilled laborers employed by the railroads of thie cpuntry. Railroad executives here today would not make any statepient regarding the wage cut. However, they expressed general dis- appointment that the cut would not be effective before July 1 when prac- tically all of the track repairing work for the year will be completed,
