With German Army, Upper Rhine Front, Mar. 15. TE southern half of Germany's frontier with France, bristling with guns, is warlike in every respect but one—there is no shooting. With five other foreign correspondents, the United Press staff correspondent has just completed a two-day tour of that part of Germany's new defence line extending along the Rhine 120 miles from Basle to Lauterburg near Karlsruhe. In those two days the visitors did not hear a single shot fired across the Rhine.
Fighting has been occurring daily on the remaining half of the French-German frontier, from the Rhine River westward to Luxemburg, but the area where the swift-flowing Rhine separates the two finest armies in the world has every appearance of an armed truce.
