Artillery Duel

Oppaln, Slesia, May 11-French
troops engaged in an artillery duel
with insurgent Poles near Groscho-
WITT, about six miles south of this
city Yesterday. The Poles replied TO
the French fire with several small field
pieces. A number of slightly wounded
French soldiers have been brought
here and other wounded Frenchmen
have been brought in by motor lor-
ries from other towns in the disturbed
area. 1t is rumored that a German
officer. who formerly held a high posi-
German operations in Silesia and in
German operations in Sllesia and in
terallied officials here fear there will
be serious developments in the next
few days unless the Poles indicate
their intention to begin withdrawal.
In tbs city there has been arriving
a continuous stream of wounded Ger
man refugees, and the situation has
grown more intense. The German
civilian guards have completed their
organization. Officers say they have
sutIicient rifles and will feel safe If
they can secure artillery.
Allied officers arriving here from
KattoWitZ report the Poles held them
up and took them to British headquar-
ters. There they were examined.
their papers were gone over and
eventually the officials were given
passes signed by the Polish commits
Sar which permitted 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
insurgent forces will get out of hand
and begin plundering Silesian towns
they have taken since the inception OF
the revolt in this district.

On traffic between the southwest
and the eastern group the commission
said the increase would be an addi-
tion over the rates in effect before
the general increase of approximately
2-3 per cent in the hauls between
the southwest and st. Louis and of 6
2-3 per cent in the haul between s..
Louis and points in the defined terri
tories in the eastern group. The exact
percentage of increase depends on the
extent to which the joint rates nov
