Commission Intervenes. Paris, M a y 23.— (B y the Associ ated Press)— The Allied High Com mission in Upper Silesia lias sent del egations to intervene with both the Uernians nnd the Poles aud endeavot to obtain tlie cessation of nil military operations, according to French olli- cial dispatches t 6 day. Each o f the delegations is composed of representatives of France, Great Britain and Italy. In French circles the situation is re garded as' very „ grave, following the German attack ou the front Grosstelu- cr-Striebenaus-Krempa, against tlv; Polish i lines. The Poles retired from this line, leaving the important Anna- bery position in the hands of the Ger man volunteer corps.

London, May 23.— Germans Saturday drove the Polish insurgents In Silesia, back toward'Gross-StrchilCz for* n dis tance of five miles, says a dispatch to tlie London Times from Oppeln.

The movement is regarded by the Times correspondent ns far more seri ous than a mere reaction of the Ger man population against the Insurgents. He asserts that the Inter-Allied Coin- mission was unable 1 to prevent the out break of lighting and is now just ns powerless to, intervene. •' Poles Extend Control' The Polish Insurgents, according to the d.Ispatch have been steadily con solidating their position and extending their control iiver the industrial dis tricts of Silesia.

Every sort of pressure is being employed to com pel the surrender of these’ two town?.' No food is. being allowed to enter them, says the Times correspondent.’ but, ns this has not proved, effective. Ihe watei nnd electricity supplies of Kattowitz were cut oil yesterday. In habitants of Beuthen nnd Katto^vitz have approached their local district controllers, according to the dispatch, and hnve nsked them to make -terms with the insurgents, declaring Jliey were tired of waiting for the Allies to do something and were without confi dence in the IntCr-AUied Commission's powers to restore normal conditions or Ihe ability of the local garrisons to protect them If insurgents 'should decide to take -he towns by force.

For nearly a hour these ^ officers faced a barrage o f exploding bottles of wine — 200 o f them— which had been stored In the back room, and with difficulty aaved themselves from being stained a dull red. It was some time before Lieutenant Tigbe was able to round up n squad o f six reserve patrolmen to move the explosive beverage to the cellar. ■Early Sunday morning Inspector ■Sweeney and his men raided the cellar of John Scotti, at No. 453 East 139iJ\ Street, and seied, tlie police assert, 200 bottles of port wine and several barrels of home made wine All this was placed t in the back room of the station. Lieutenant Tighe and Sergeant O'Donnell had just seated themselves at their desks when what they at first believed was a pistol shot was heard Both started to investigate but got no further than the doorway, when there came a series of explosions, and bits of .broken glass and wine struck the ceiling, almost over their heads. “ It's the wine,” they yelled, n-ad fled to the shelter of their desks. Them all was quiet. Believing the worst was over, both had settled down to ■their work when a general bombard ment took place. Back to the doorway they rushed again and arrived just as about 20 bot tles were oxploding simultaneously and staining the ceiling above their 'heads a bright red. \Guess I'd bettor call up the Inspec tor before he loses all the evldenc,\ said Lieutenant Tlghe. \Better call in the S-sreau of Com bustibles,” said O’Donnell. The lieuten ant called up Inspector Sweeney ami) was told t'> round up enough men to cart the stuff to the cellar. The reserve patrolmen were about to remove the remainder of the wine to th« collar when the last bottles ex ploded. While Lieutenant Tighe wn> phoning the Inspector tlie bombarding was stilt merrily going on. Thi> patrolmen gingerly rolled the barrels of home made wine to th° cpUnr. nnd all at the station set to work at cleaning up the back room which looked like the scene nf a san guinnry battle.
