SILESIA'S TROUBLES

Executions Ordered From

Breslau ?

HUMAN LIFE UNDERVALUED.

("Times" Cables.) (Received 11 a.m.)

LONDON, April 23,

Tho Berlin correspondent of the "Times" states that the continuance of the "black" Reichswehr trial of Stettin recalls the troubles of Silesia in 1921-22, when nationality depended on the result of a plebiscite.

Baron von Lien, who was ordered thither to maintain order, said the Government office at Breslau approved the execution of 200 traitors. General von Pawelsz asserted that the Reichswehr was ignorant of the executions, but Von Loen declared that the executions were carried out with poison hand grenades. General Hofer, commander of the Upper Silesia rising, said that Silesia had to help itself since the Allies would not intervene. Hundreds of volunteers gave their lives for the Republic. Times were now such that human life was undervalued.

The Prussian Government asserts that the Breslau office was not aware of any executions.
