Polish
sources
asserted
today
that
German
patrols
had
crossed
the
border
into
Polish
territory
at
several
points.
They
also
asserted
that
a
German
bomber
had
flown
over
Polish
Silesia
and
had
been
pursued
by
Polish
planes.
Reports
from
Danzig
of
what
Poles
called
"new
aggressive
activity"
by
Danzig
Nazis
included
one
that
all
communications
between
the
Free
City
and
the
Polish
port
of
Gdynia
had
been
cut.

said

that

not

had

Announcement
of
full
mobilization
of
the
British
fleet
coming
on
top
of
Poland's
extension
of
mobilization
yesterday
these
persons
indicated
as
at
least
partly
responsible
for
the
pause.
As
a
result,
it
was
uncertain
whether
British
questions
iit
to
Hitler
by
Great
Britain
last
night
w
ould
be
answered
The
British
government
announced
that
arm-fd
forces
of
the
country
were
being
placed
practically
on
a
basis
of
mobilization.
A
communique
announcing
the
step
read:
"In
continuation
of
measures
already
adopted,
it
has
been
decided
to
complete
naval
mobilization
and
call
up
the
remainder
i
regular
army
reserve
anci
supplementary
reserve.
A
further
number
of
Royal
Air
Force
volunteer
reserves
arc
also
leing
called
up.
Officers
and
men
ihould
await
further
instructions
which
will
be
made
public
immediately
by
each
of
the
three
service
departments.
This
sudden
move
on
the
part
of
Britain
came
the
day
after
Poland
had
put
forces
in
practically
the
same
state
of
readiness
for
war
and
after
officials
had
expressed
pessimism
over
the
possibility
of
settling
the
Polish-German
dispute
by
negotiation.
The
order
means
that
the
fleet
will
lc
mobilized
and,
with
the
Army
and
Air
Force,
brought
up
to
full
strength.
Officials
denied,
however,
that
it
meant
general
mobilization.

Eligible
to
take
part
in
the
plebiscite
under
an
international
commission
will
be
all
Germans,
Poles
and
others
who
resided
in
the
Corridor
on
January
1,
1918.
4.
Gdynia
is
exempted
from
the
plebiscite
and
remains
Polish.
5.
To
allow
ample
time
for
a
just
plebiscite
this
shall
take
place
within
twelve
months.
6.
During
the
period
when
the
international
commission
controls
the
Corridor
Germany
is
assured
of
free
communication
to
East
Prussia
by
railway
and

7.
A
simple
majority
will
decide
the
plebiscite
fate.
8.
In
case
the
territory
is
voted
to
Poland,
Germany
will
be
granted
an
extra-territorial
zone
for
an
auto
road
and
a
railroad
one
kilometre
wide.
If
voted
to
Germany
a
similar
privilege
will
be
granted
to
Gdynia.
9.
Germany
is
ready
to
effect
an
exchange
of
populations
in
case
the
Corridor
is
awarded
to
Germany.
10.
Germany
shall
enjoy
the
same
economic
rights
in
Gdynia
as
are
the
Poles
in
Danzig.
11.
To
eliminate
bad
feeling
both
Danzig
and
Gdynia
will
be

trade
centres
and
hence
demilitarized.
12.
Whichever
way
the
Peninsula
of
Hel
goes
it
is
in
any
case
to
be
demobilized.
13.
Complaints

Neither
