FRENCH OPERATIONS ARE

Paris, Sept. A. (AP) - France
pursued her second day of military
operations against Germany today

This was announced in the war

Germany replied with an aerial
invasion which brought an early
morning air raid alarm to Paris
Later, an official military source
said the planes had come on ga

communiques have failed to shed

Give Germans Con-
troll of Upper Silesia.

Berlin, Sept. 5.-(AP)-German
today announced the capture of two
rich Polish industrial cities, Katowice
and ChorzoW, near the Polish-Ger-
man frontier in Silesia.
Both towns, on the direct route to
Krakow, Poland's ancient capital,
virtually had been surrounded by
previous attacks, where the German
border bulges into southwestern
Poland, but the final thrust against
them had been delayed.
Germans had said they feared the
Poles would blow up mines and steel
rolling mills, which they said were
mined with explosives, but the Poles
were said to have been surprised
and fled without damaging the valu-
able property.
Capture of the two towns would
give Germany control of the highly
important Upper Silesian industrial
sector. A United States concern, the
American Silesian Company, owns
some zinc mines at Katowice
At the same time, German au-
thorities declared ten British bomb
ers had been shot down yesterday
when they raided the German fleet
near the entrance to the strategic
Kiel Canal. Revising their previous
statement that five of IL British
raiders were destroyed, German Of
ficials said more than half of the
attackers were doWned, and dec1ar-
ed no damage was done to Nazi war
ships, despite British statements to
the contrary.
(In London officials claimed
''severe damage" was inflicted on
two German Warships.)
Germany reported capture of the
two Polish cities as Adolf Hitler, the
Reich's first soldier, followed his
troops into East Prussia, and the Ger
man news agency announced trium-
phantly that East Prussia had been
reunited with Germany proper
