Paris, To-day.
A prediction that the war may be intensified on the Western Front shortly was made by a War Ministry spokesman, who revealed that the Germans had placed certain units in "attacking positions." -
He sald, however, that this might not necessarily herald a general offen- sive, and that so far they are of a local nature.
He did not say how these concen- trations were detected.
Informed quarters believe that the concentrations are drawn up along the Dutch frontler, opposite the Zulder Zeä.
