Troops on Russian
Frontier Alert TO
Meet Any Threat

BUCHAREST. Rumania, April 10.
(UP) - Unconfirmed reports were
circulated today that troops on the
Bessarabian frontier facing Russia
had been put in a special state of
alert.
Ut was assumed that the troops
referred to were German. There
had been reports for weeks past
that German forces in Rumania
opposite the Russian border had
been materially Strengthened
Keen interest was taken in all
quarters here on the visit to Mos
COW of Japanese Foreign Minister
Yosuke Matsuoka. especially in
view of the pact which Russia and
JugoslaVia announced only 4 few
hours before the German entry into
Jugoslavia.
Diplomatic circles We're interested
in the departure yesterday OF the
Rumanian ship Dacia for Istanbul
1t carried $50 Jewish emigrantS. It's
departure, it was said, indicated
that no surprising activities were
expected on Rumania's eastern
frontier
American oil men who returned
from visit TO the Rumanian oil
fields said they had not noted any
evidence Of uneasiness there. They
said conditions had not changed
since the German attack on Jugo-

British planes swept over Ger

a large vehicle was seen to over

Anti-aircraft fire was intense.

selves at the British line.
No attempt was made here TO
minimize the Importance of this
coming first battle in Greece be-
tween the British and German
armies.
Expert commentators told the
British public that if the British
were defeated it would most likely
mean another Dunkirk, and only
Turkey would offer the possibility
of another bridgehead for another
British thrust against the Ger
mans IN southeastern Europe.
But they said also that if the
British, Greek and Jugoslav allies
could successfully stop the Germans
and push them back the effect of
victory might foreshadow an even
tual axis defeat
