The Echo de Paris remarked:

Oppeln, Silesia, May tl.-French
troops, engaged in an artillery duel with
insurgent Poles near GToschowitz. about
six miles south Of tnis city yesterday
The Poles replied TO the French fire
with several small field pieces. A num-
Der of slightly wounded French soldiers
have been brought here and other wouE-
ded Frenchmen have been brought in
by motor lorries from other towns in
the disturbed area.
1t is rumored that German Officer
who formerly held high position in the
army has taken charge of German op-
erations in Silesia and inter-allied Off
cials hear there will be more de-
velopments in a few days, unless the
Poles indicate their intention to begin
a withdrawal. In this city. there has
been arriving n continuous stream OF
wounded German refugees, and the
situation has grown more intense. The
German civilian guards have completed
their organization. The officers say they
have sufficient rifles and will feel safe
if they can secure artillery.
Allied officials arriving here from
KattowitZ report the Poles held them
rp and took them to Polish headquart-
ers. There they were examined, their
papers were gone over, and eventually
the officials were given passes signed
by the Polish commisar, which permit
ted them TO pass the insurgent lines. 1t
is declared the Poles are well equipped
with artillery and small arms. but there
is a lack of discipline evident in their
ranks. There is some apprehension that
the lnsurgent forces will get out Of han3
