Mobilised On Spot
Elsewhere in the Siegfried Line north of Luxembourg the troops on [duly are not active service troops. The men manning the concrete works camposed by Grenzschutz Vizly, men belonging to the region and mobilised on the spot.
Those frontier rifiemen Arc shifted about frequently so dat diey may be well acquainted with the region.
Infantry on duty are from the Rhineland, and have done only two periods of three months' service.
Behind these troops Hanoverian engineers are digging, trenches, and behind these are divisions detailed to replace_divisions engaged on the Star. Officers reconnoitring the re- gion are often seen in motor-cars followed by two despatch riders. Field einamas in red lorries are also in evidence.
General conversation with the troops is often of considerable in- terest. Why are active service troops and also divisions of reserve troops billeted here? I asked German sol- diers. More particularly to help the Belgians should the French again violate their neutrality, like they did. In 1914, was the answer.
Belgian Nautrality
I immediately replied.. "The Ger- mans did that I saw it with my own eyes." "Quite wrong," was the reply. "It was the French and English who violated Belgium." This blt of "history" is as taught in Ger- man schools.
I also asked the Germans whether they did not fear defeat, as in the Inst war. "No," replied one of the sentries. "On that occasion we had to fight 28 countries, now there are only two, and we have the help of Russia, Italy and Japan, that is to say,
of the three biggest military Powers In the world aller-Germany"-
i then asked what they thought of the sea blockade. The answer was: "Now we have men at the head of our Government. In 1014 we had only á Hohenzollern, and the Hohenzollern had cousins in England."
Goering Loses His Butter
Secrot Supply From England Cut Off WHILE Goering was asking the German people to tighten their belts and put "guns before butter," and the weekly ration.. since reduced, was less than a quarter of a pound per head per; week, he and other Nazi lenders were receiving supplies from England.
This was revealed by the Ministry of Information, who have "Informa- tion about which there is no doubt whatever."
"For many months past," says the Ministry · announcement, "Goering, Goebbels and other Nazi leaders have been receiving large supplies of but- ter from England. So as not to dis- turb the morale of the German people, care was taken to ensure that the purcels arrived without at- tracting altention.

"In the week before the war broke jout no fewer than nine such parcels were observed, three addressed, to Goering, Goebbels and Bergmann, and the remainder to wives of other prominent members of the Nazi party."
