OPPELN, Silesia, May 27.-The van
guard of British troops from the
Rhine, who, supplemented by air.
planes and tanks, are expected to as
sist in reestablishing order in Upper
Silesia, arrived here tonight. They
are being distributed from here to
Kreuzburg, where British general
headquarters has been established.
In British quarters it was said to-
day that If this number of troops was
unable to suppress the Polish insur-
gents sufficient reenforcements for
that purpose had been promised, no
matter how many thousands are re-
quired."
At the same time there We're rumors
that the French We're reinforcing, al
though it was said unofiicially that the
British and French did not intend to
cooperate while the French General
Lerond is in command. The British
probably will operate independently,
acting on the principle of state of
siege and military necessity.
Four British battalions may march
from kreuzburg toward KattowitZ.
clearing the eastern district of insur-
gents and leaving the Oder insurgent
forces cut off and at the mercy of the
Germans, who are starting isolated de-
fensiye movements from the left bank of
the Oder.
Persons arriving here from kosel,
Ratbor and other places say that the
Germans went into battle with twenty
five rounds Of ammunition. They threw
away their rifles when their ammunition
became exhausted and attacked the
Poles with knives and clubs and even
their bare hands, and drove them out of
several positions, at some places forcing
them back five miles.
The Poles have brought up heavy field
pieces to a number Of Oder positions
and also are reinforcing their personnel
and bringing up supplies Of ammuni-
ton and machine guns in the expecta-
tion of general German offensive
which thus far has not started. The
Germans are said to have requested per-
mission to assisthe allied forces when
the operations against the Poles begin.
The belief was expressed in allied cir
cles to-day that any considerable move
ment Of British troops probably would
meet with no opposition from the Polish
insurgents. who would retire before the
advance, but that German offensive
undoubtedly would be violently opposed
The Germans are renewing their as
sertlou that the French are giving the
Poles along the oder encouragement and
supplying them with ammunition. and
that at some places the French par
ticpated in the fighting side by side with
the Poles. This charge has not been
substantlated

fee by the appointment of Earl r.
Wood and Clarence DrinkWine and the
new clerks are joining the force today.
The appointments are made as temp
orary with the understanding that pro-
visions will be made for a permanent
extension of the service with the be-
ginning of the new fiscal year OF the
department on July list next, The ad-
dition of the two clerks to the force
will materially aid in lettering service
in Kenosha. One will be assigned to
the registry department to relieve con-
gested conditions there and the other
will give his entire, time to the hand
ling of parcel post work. With the
Appointment of the new clerk the parcel
post window at the Office will be kept
open from 1880 a. m. until 1880 p. IN.
The rapid growth of the parcel post
business Of the Kenosha office has
clearly shown a demand for all day
service in this department.
Must Handle Insurance Cases.
In the future claims against the de-
partment for losses which may have
resulted in the parcel post department
will be handled at the local offices and
instead of claims for losses of insured
mail being sent through the long
course for handling by the department
in Washington they be handled by the
local officials.
"A lot of time and considerable
money will be saved by the new sys-
tenn" declared Postmaster German
this morning. "Under the law we have
the power to make adjustment of losses
and we are going to try to dispose OF
these matters with minimum of trou-
BILE and we believe to the satisfaction
of all parties interested. We are now
settling several claims"

provement of the mail service in Ke-
nosha are expected to be ordered after
the beginning of the new year, but no
statement as to the plans for this new
service will be given out until after
the formal report of the post Office in
spectors have been filed. The inspec-
ton of the Kenosha Office is not as yet

found where the service may be, inn
proved by the addition of small ex-
pense. "We can not discuss these
plans until they are made public by
the inspector" declared the postmas-
ter this morning, "but I am certain
that they will be for the betterment
of the service in Kenosha."
