German Forces Increase

Oppelin, Silesia, May 13-German
forces on the left bank of the Oder
river are being gradually augmented
by the arrival Of former German sol
diers from Bresslau, and a number. it
is known, are coming from Germany.
Several hundred security police
from Hamburg and Kiel and several
other German cities, have reached
Brieg, 20 miles northwest of here, and
are authoritatively reported to have
placed themselves at the disposal of
German authorities there.
There are rumors here that the Ger
mans will take the offensive. prob
ably within a week, when their prep
arations are complete. The Poles, in
the meantime, are known to be
strengthening their positions with ar
tillery, although they are not advanc

published by the Poles that the al
lies have accepted the present battle
lines as the new frontier between
Germany and Poland. Theydeclare
these statements tend to excite the
German population, making re-estab

rights, should they succeed in driving
out the invaders. and occupying the
