JEWS IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT OF GERMAN UPPER SILESIA WERE WARNED TODAY BY THE LOCAL POLICE CHIEF TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN HUMBLER FASHION HEREAFTER.

THE WARNING WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A VEILED HINT THAT ANTI-JEWISH DISTURBANCES MIGHT OCCUR IF IT WAS NOT HEEDED. THE POLICE HEAD WROTE TO A SYNAGOGUE DECLARING THAT PROTESTS OVER PROVOCATION OF THE POPULACE BY A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY HAD RECENTLY BECOME SO FREQUENT AS TO ENDANGER THE MAINTENANCE OF LAW AND ORDER.
