Italian Troops on Scene


BERLIN, Aug. 10 (By The Associated
Press .-Advices received from Katto-
WITT up to o'clock this afternoon in
dictate that the tension of the German
population, on the one side, and of the
French troops and Polish elements on
the other, is not relaxing and that
fresh outbreaks are likely Two thou
sand Italian troops have arrived in
kattowitz.
The advices say that desultory firing
is IN progress IN various parts of the
city which are policed by the security
police, and that lynch law is freely
being resorted to by the enraged Ger
man workers.
Despite the fact that a state of
reinforced siege was proclaimed by the
lnterAllied commission at Kattowtz,
fighting and anti Polish rioting we've re-
sumed yesterday, it is stated in Berlin
newspapers, These newspaper accounts
say that late in the day virtually the
entire populace poured into the streets
and formed an enormous assemblage,
marching to the hotel which is the
headquarters of the Polish plebiscite
committee.
Crowds Lynch Two
When security police arrived to dis
perse the crowds, the newspaper dis
patches say, shots were suddenly fired
from the hotel These were replied to,
and heavy firing ensued. At p. m. the
inmates Of the hotel surrendered, and
about seventeen persons are reported
to have been arrested by the security
police. One of those arrested, it is
said, was summarily shot, as he was
alleged to have attempted resistance.
Two others were lynched by the angry
crowd. Documents Of the plebiscite
committee were strewn about the
streets after the disorder ceased.
Occupation troops, according to re-
ports reaching Berlin, were confined to
their barracks, which were barricaded.
The crowds wrecked the plant of a
Polish newspaper and numerous other
Polish establishments.
French officers attached to the inter
Allied commission left their headquar-
ters, and, the newspaper dispatches say,
their French songs as they marched
away were drowned by the crowds, who
sang out, victorious, we will beat
France"

BERLIN, Aug. l9.-The eight hour
street battle last night between French
soldiers and German civilians in Kat
towitz, in the so-called plebiscite area
Of Upper Siiesia, may give rise to in
ternational complications.
The fighting began early yesterday
evening and continued until O'Clock
this morning. The French used tanks
and armored cars. The exact casu.
alties are not known, but according
to the latest figures ten French
soldiers and twenty-five Germans were
killed and about seventy wounded on
both sides. Public feeling in the town
and adjoining territory is running high
and the population Is reported to have
called upon the French troops to hand
over their arms.
Berlin Press Alarmed
The Berlin press expresses alarm lest
France may hold the German govern
ment responsible. Martial law has
been proclaimed in Kattowitz and the
surrounding district. Postponement of
the plebiscite, whereby the population
is to determine whether it will ioin
Germany or Poland, coupled with COM
plants against the conduct of the
French troops, had already led to
strained relations III the district, and
the public bitterness was increased by
charges that the French had been
smuggling arms and munitions into
Poland from the plebiscite area.
AS protest against such an allege d
breach of neutrality a strike was pro
claimed yesterday at Kattowitz, and
early in the evening the strikers went
to demonstrate before the Offices of
the inter-Allied commission. 1t is al
legged that the French fired on the dem
onstrators. Fierce fighting soon became
general IN the town and many buildings
were burned.
