LONDON, May 23.—The correspond | ent of the London Times in Oppein, reporting German “irregular” military operations in Upper Silesia, declared they have been concentrating forces and making preparations for a fort night.

He asserts that the interallied commission was unable to prevent the outbreak of fighting and now is just as powerless to intervene. Apparently the Germans have regular army re serves at thelr disposal. The Polish insurgents, according to the dispatch, have been steadily con solidating their position and extending their control over the industrial dis. tricts of Silesia.

Every sort of pressure is being em- ployed to compel the surrender of these two important towns. No food is being allowed to enter them, but, as this has not proved effective, the water and electricity supplies of Kat- towitz were cut off yesterday. BRITISH TO SEND TROOPS TO SILESIA.
