INCIDENT IN GERMANY. ) FRENCH TROOPS AND WORKERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received August 21, 1.10 a.m. Berlin, August 19. A strike of workers in Upper Silesia against the Russo-Polish war led to a serious conflict with French troops at Kattowitz.
French cavalry were attacked, and a trooper was killed. The French replied with machine-guns and grenades, killing nine and wounding twenty-six. A trade union delegation demanded the disarmament of troops in the occupied area, promjsing them a safe conduct. The French commandant indignantly refused the terms, and negotiations are progressing. The German Press is excited over the incident, and report that two thousand Poles of military age have been smuggled over the border.
