POLISH TROOP MOVEMENTS
TENSION GROWING IN TESCHEN AREA (D P.A.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyrightl LONDON, 15th December. The Prague correspondent of “The Times” says that tension is growing in the Tc-schen area, which Poland recently acquired from Czechoslovakia. Traffic on the Polish-Czechoslovakian frontier has stopped. Large Polish troop movements are occurring and the Poles are evacuating many factories and moving machines and raw materials to the interior. Army officers are replacing civil servants and the treatment of German and Czech minorities is becoming harsher.
A message published yesterday stated that Polish State officials had left the recently-occupied Teschen area following the withdrawal of Polish troops who mutinied last week-end.
It is reported that the district may either be returned to Czechoslovakia or taken over by the Germans.
