Poles in Assuming Full Control at Gog-lin
(Bv the United Press)
Oppeln, Upper Silesia, May 17.
More than 100 Polish insurg
ents were killed by German ir
regulars at Goglin, where the
Germans assumed full . control
today. The German losses were
trifling.
Berlin, May 17. Polish insurg
ents strengthened their hold in Up
per Silesia today, according to re
ports from the plebiscite area re
ceived here.
Italian soldiers who have been
holding several cities in the capaci
ty ot plebiscite guards were com
pelled to withdraw, being outnum
bered by the Polos.
Korfanty's men also entered the
town of Nikolai.
The German forces operating in
.Silesia are "irregulars," for whom
the German government is no more
ri sponsible than is the Warsaw gov
ernment admittedly for the action
of Korfanty and his followers. They
are supposed to be fairly numerous
and to include numbers of men who
s;w service in the war, but their
equipment at last reports was not
ample and their officers owed no
acknowledged allegiance to the gov
ernment here.

ilon his support of a partition which
would give, the bulk of the coal land
to Poland, it Was indicated that he
would be willing to compromise with
London.

da, is on this month. The quota for

ignatod May 20 and 21 as the cam
paign dates for Kinston. The mon
ey to he raised m this community
is to be devoted to the maintenance
and support of the local corps.
In this day of numerous cam
paigns and strained financial con
ditions $:S,(M)0 seems a large amount
but at such times the demands on
the army for relief are much grcat-
r and the money is more urgently
needed, and the army appeals to all
friends to come to the rescue in the
present campaign just as liberally as
in the past, according to L. W.

In addition to the religious work
and various kinds of relief work in
the corps centers, the Salvation Ar
my maintains in this division three
industrial homes for men, two room
ing houses for wmen and girls, a
maternity hospital, a homo for chil
dren and three hotels for men.
'A man may be down, but he is
never out," is the slogan of the ar
my, and its workers seek to alleviate
the suffering and misery of the un
fortunate wherever found. F.ly J.
Perry has been appointed by the lo
cal board of directors as campaign
manager and has already started
preparations for the campaign. ,
