THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, mi. Poles Renew War With Germans as Truce Declared Upper Silcsian Crisis in Most Acute Phase Since Dictator Korpanty Proclaimed Crusade. By L. C. WALTER. Chlrajro Tribune-Omaha Bee Lenaed Wire. Polish Insurgent Headquarters, Upper Silesia, May 31. Less than five hours after the interallied plebiscite commissioner at Oppcln had bestowed his blessing on an oral truce, between the Polish in surgents and the Germans, war be gan anew in the center of both wings, bringing the Upper Silesian crisis to its most acute phase since Dictator Adalbert Kort'anty pro claimed his armed crusade to wrest the country from Germany. One of the most disturbing fea tures of the fresh outbreak in the fighting is the apparently complete inability of the political chiefs of either side to control their forces. Equally so is the helplessness and faltering of the authorities who, under the Versailles treaty, are sup posed to exercise sovereign rule in the plebiscite territory. Authorities Faltering. This is the second outbreak since May 10, when the allied authorities attempted to force a truce by draw ing an insurgent demarcation line in the hope of enforcing peace. The 1 latest intervention of the allied commissioners resulted in a form of agreement by the hostile camps to abstain from further bloodshed. As news of the fresh hostilities reached headquarters, Korfanty had not returned from his tour to the front, where he had spent the day harranguing the men for the neces sity of immediate peace. Shortly after midnight the German forces attacked towns and villages forming the insurgent right wing. Bitter fighting lasted through the night at Pruskau, Boovian, Mar tamuhle and Wachau. Early this morning the German groups envel oped Wachau. As they halted for reinforcements with the object of marching on the Polish elsewhere, the insurgents counter attacked in force, driving the Germans from the village. Villages Change Hands. The villages and a 30-mile stretch west of Rosenborg changed hands as many as four times. Kalinau was heavily bombarded with artillery. The battle between insurgent forces and detachments of Orgesch troops had been in full swing on the out skirts of Reuthen since Saturday, when the Germans engaged the Poles and the city revolted against the French garrison. While there are no definite figures obtainable, the killed and wounded on both sides are estimated at more than 400. Mail Men to Meet in Hastings Next Year Farmer Blows Off Head With Shotgun Alexandria, Neb., May 31. (Spe cial.) Joseph Costello, well-to-do farmer, committed suicide on his farm, three miles from here, by put ting a single-barreled shotgun into his mouth and pulling the trigger, literally blowing his head to pieces. The motive for the deed is un i known, but it is thought that de spondency over the prices he has re ceived for his last year's crops, and the present outlook for crops this season was the cause. He had just returned to his farm from the Deco ration day services in company with his two sisters, Nora and Rose Cos . tello, who have been keeping house for him, and had changed his clothes in readiness to do the evening chores. He went into a room where he kept his gun, sat on a. chair and killed himself. . ' Dakota Odd Fellows Adopt New Eligibiity Rules Hot Springs, S. D., May 31. (Special.)
