Unless the planes turn back
toward Germany, specially
equipped combat squadrons
will go up after them. These
combat planes will have orders to
surround and force doWn-wlthout
a collision-the foreign planes.
The Air Ministry, IN issuing its
warning, said its measures were
made necessary to protect the Sc
crecy of the great defense works
along the German frontier.
Troops Doing Work
It is particularly necessary to-
protect work being done in the for
ests of Alsace and Moselle. Army
engineers are using French troops
and Senegalese soldiers from Africa
instead of civilian workers to keep
activities secret.
Combat planes detailed to chase
invaders will have orders to pursue
them to the frontier, but in no cir
cumStances to cross.
The government attaches tremen-
douS Importance to the secrecy Of
its new frontier Notifications. Leg
ends are growing up around them.
They are without doubt the most
formidable defenses Of the sort ever
conceived. For miles and leagues,
through department after depart
ment, they are largely underground.
They are of steel and concrete and,
almost unnoticeable from the earth,
they penetrate far beneath the sur
face to give shelter to men and ma
terials. They link up with each
other in a series Of great fortresSeS
and machine gun emplacements.
Time Table" Published
There have been three specific in
stances in the last week in which
German planes are alleged to have
crossed the border with the appar-
ent intention of observing the for
tifications.
A German plane was reported to
have flown low over the forts in
the Thionville region last Friday,
to disappear quickly after it's re-
cohnaisance toward the German
frontier. Again the same day, big
German plane was reported over the
frontier. Next day plane was seen
near Apach. It was said to have
circled the railway station there and
returned" to Germany.
Frances anxiety over aerial at
tack is seen here by frequent re-
ports Of Germany's air strength.
A German war plane time table"
was published here this week:
Frankfort Stuttgart to Paris, l hour
Is minutes. The table continued
with times" for German attacks on
British and northern italian towns.

thur Dutch Schultz Flegenheimer

trial two weeks ago on q three
count indictment charging he evad-
ed payment Of $4,000 in taxes on

not pay the levies because his at

obtained through illicit channels
and thus was untaxable.
