A _-- from Rosenberg, Brit- ish 'Front, Upper Silesia, says:--The recently arrived "hard-boiled" British General, Henniker, and the new Brit ish Plebiscite Commissioner, Sir Har old Stewart, are beginning to make themselves decisively felt. The British have at last discovered a rough, com~ mon-sense technique 'for handling the Upper Silesian dilemma and they have begun putting it into practice with the result that the tension already worst ever experienced by the C.P.R. in this district. shows signs of relaxing. There is a justified hope that the new British 'policy will 'succeed : in liquidating the Upper Silesian evil war speedily. The technique consists essentially in British troops walking up to a po- sition of the insurgents and telling them in ea few unmistakable words to | clear out. At the same time the Ger- i irregular. forces are fold un- not #0 advance. "The ter- ny thus cleared of insurgent Poles and kept clear of German irregulars, is called a "neutral zone." Ax fast as it ig cleared, German plebiscite police under he command of British officers, are moved in and preserve law and order, and the mixed German and Polish populace rejoices and goes to work again, and everybody is happy and satisfied, except the civil war profiteers and their friends with uiters ior motives. ------lh U.S. CROPS WILL BE SMALLER ER THIS YEAR Estimated 88,000, 000 Bush- els Short of 1920 Harvest.
