"Rzeczpospolita" has calculated that in the eastern lands there were 3 attacks in January, 6 in February, 12 in March, 26 in April, and already 20 in the first half of May.

In the second half of this month the newspapers note a new, huge attack in Kryvichy (18 May) and two attacks in the Sviantsiany county (17 and 18 May).

"Echo Warsz." describes the activity of a certain ataman Dulka in the Białowieża Forest, who in recent days killed a forester (a former Polish soldier) and robbed a forest warden and four other persons on the road. The peasants in Białowieża, according to that newspaper, look upon Dulka as a national hero.
