14 THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1918. INQUIHY POLES SEEK m ALLIED NATIONS Stories of Jewish Assaults Stir I National League. TRUTH orREPORTS SOUGHT flmeromcnt Ar Crgcd to Send Spe- ; clal rommlvlon to Poland to InTcMisate Conditions. VKW YORK. Not. . To determine ftf truth or falflty of Honrs of Jew lh pogromn in Poland, the Polish N tional Department today united with the Polish National defense committee in a formal demand on the American and allied rovernments to dispatch to Poland a epeclal commission on which the Jewish and Polish Immigration In toe United States shall have member ship to investigate the existing; condi tions and report results. "Because of their belief that reports of antt-semitic outbreaks are certain to react against the cause of the new independent and united Polish state at tHe peace table, the proposition is now advanced for an investigation by an Impartial inter-allied and American commission. The Poles assert that rep resentatives of the Jewish organiza tions in the United States already have petitioned the allied governments that Poland be virtually denied a seat at the peace table, or an opportunity to state Its case before that tribunal and that the situation Is critical. The call for the appointment of a commission was signed here today by John F. Smulskl, Dr. K. Zurawski. Dr. Adam Swajkart. K. Zychlinski, Alex ander Debski and Dr. B. Kolakowskl. .Messrs. Smulskl and Kolakowskl, rep resenting the two Polish organizations. explained that they had asked for the commission with every confidence that It' would brand as false the stories circulated. ;"1V are firmly convinced that the assaults on Jews which these troops are committing are assaults which are being charged to Poles, they said. In short, we hone that such a commission, when appointed, will carefully examine the Polish rabbis in Poland, men who are Poles but of Jewish faith, and from their lips we expect vindication." ftrrs. -?3 men: 301th aero squadron. 3 offi cer. l;:i men: loTth aero squadron, 2 of ficers. 1W men; l7th aero squadron. 3 officers.

Exploitation of Mines Said to Have Enabled Germans to Continue the War Four Years. PARIS. Not. 2 (Havas.) Details of the systematic destruction of ma chinery in the French factories in the Briey valley region is given by the correspondent at Briey of Le Journal. AH stocks of merchandise, iron ore. cast Iron and steel were requisitioned by German Inspectors and engineers, the correspondent says, and then IS of ficers and 100 men arrived to organize the destruction of the plants. Ger man manufacturers visited the region and picked out certain pieces of ma chinery which they wished placed in their own plants, and these were ship ped immediately to Germany. After these selections had been made. the demolition of blast furnaces, steam engines, boilers, tools, gearings and electric light fixtures, not connected with the actual" working of the mines, was carried out. the employes of the plants being compelled to aid the Ger mans in their devastation. In the meantime, the exploitation of the mines was kept in full swing. Prisoners, to the number of 15,000 were put to work with hardly any rest and under terrible discipline. The output of the mines was larger, than that In peace time and, the correspondent adds, this enabled the central powers to hold out for four years. When the time for the final allied attack approached, the Germans con centrated 500 large guns and 7000 ma chine guns for the defense of the Briey region, but the heroism of the allied troops rendered these precautions use less and the Teuton dream of universal domination was shattered. 1I7 MODEL (1ED) 25 Caah, 8 Monthly TURKEY SERVED AT PRISON Prisoners Spend Thanksgiving by Working Less Than Vsual. Prisoners in the city and county Jails observed Thanksgiving yesterday by working less than usual and eating more than usual.
