SAVAGE GERMANS.
GHASTLY OUTRAGES IN SILESIA. LONDON, July 11. The Times’ Oppeln correspondent states that ghastly outrages by Germans in Upper Silesia against Polish girls continue. Mobs of roughs are raiding houses, dragging out their screaming victims, stripping, beating, and dragging them along by the hair, which they then cut off. A mob of about a thousand Germans tried to break into an hotel to get single Polish girls who were staying there. The Times’ correspondent telephoned the Allied General, who ordered out armoured cars. The order was heard on the telephone and communicated to the mob, which began to disperse, but sporadic outrages continued ail night. Five hundred extra police were brought from Breslau. Twenty of the mob were arrested. Similar atrocities were reported from Glewitz, Beuthen and Ratisbor.
