AIR RAIDS ON WARSAW
REPORTED LIGHT IN CHARACTER OFFENSIVE IN UPPER SILESIA. STOPPING RUMANIAN SUPPLIES. (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, September 1. It is most difficult to obtain reliable accounts of the fighting. The reports are often contradictory and confusing and few are coming direct from Poland, first for some hours being from Edward Beattie (British United Press correspondent at Warsaw, who says that raids on Warsaw appear to have been of a light character, intended to produce a reaction among the population which, however, is taking it very calmly. Germany is carrying out a direct offensive in the direction of Upper Silesia, which will be most effective in cutting off South Poland and stopping war materials from Rumania. It is stated that the offensive is proceeding to Czestochowa and also to Dzialdowa. The Poles do not believe a big offensive is likely from East Prussia, where the garrison is believed to be weak. Zurish reports further raids on the Gdynia and Vilna mining districts in Silesia.
