Both are rapidly com- pleting fortifications and evacuat- ing frontier zones. Russian off- . clals are freely boasting of the approaching day when the Bol- sheviks will overrun the defeated Reich.

Travellers are told by local resi- dents that the Germans hád brought various portable defences of the Maginot Line and incor- porated them in Lithuanian fron- . tler works.
