Berlin, Aug. 21. The decision of
ihe Polish delegates to break oft nego
tiations which have been solus on dur
ing the last few days In Berlin rela
tive to a plebiscite over the ultimate
frontier between Germany and Poland
came in the nature of n complete sur
prise to the German officials assigned
to be present at the deliberations, as
"well as the government, which was cl-
dcntly wholly unprepared for such action.
This Is the first news of the rup
ture of tho Polish-German negotia
tions The rupture in the proceedings was
the more unexpected as n day had
been set for a specific discussion of the
Upper Silesian situation. While this
matter was not really n pirt of the
subject upon which the two govern
ments hac been deliboiatlng, the Ger
mans promptly consented to meet the
Poles' request, paiticularly as it as
Indorsed bv the chief of the Trench
mission. General Dupont, who was
present at the opening of jeter(la's
ession nnd who was nnnarenth unin
