points. And. according to the high

The Germans are mounting heavy
guns and generally preparing Zee
brugge, the most northerly Belgian
port that has an independent outlet
to the sea for determined defense.
They will try to use II AZ naval
base, especially for their submarines.
because II Is connected by q deep
canal with Bruges. This fact Is con-
strued here to mean that the general
stan Of the Germans has about aban-
doned hopes Of taking Dunkirk and
Calais. or Of seriously holding Ostend
in the face OF the nre Of the allied
fleets.
II Is believed here that Germany IL
about to revert her first plan Of Of

to the eastern frontier. Reports
reaching here say that the Germans.
who have been operating In Russian
Poland, have started to withdraw to
the FIRST line OF fortincations along
the East Prussian frontier. The ~.
tremely bad weather that has pre-
vailed In the near east has interfered
with both the Russian and German
operations, and II II thought that
once the frontier defenses are
