GERMANY ALLEGES INTENSE CZECH MILITARY ACTIVITY

Berlin, To-day.

The German press publishes graphic descriptions of alleged extensive defence preparations made by the Czecho-Slovakian army in the moun- tainous frontier region bordering on the Ger- man province of Silesia.

The sound produced by any- one touching the wire is supposed to give the alarm, so that soldiers from the nearest ma- chine-gun nest hurry to the threatened point. At other points, barbed wire entanglements charg- ed with high tension electric current have been erected on the Czech side of the frontier at a distance of only a few hundred metres from the border.
