Paris, Feb. 26.
Germany is at present working on a defence line south of the Danish frontier, in south Jutland, it is learned here from a reliable source, The line is to be dug from east to west, and will be situated generally about nine or ten miles south of the frontier. At the eastern extremity, the line will run round south of the town of Lensburgh, which is a few miles inside the frontier; A few days ago inhabitants of the territory between the border and the mew defence system were notified that they should be ready to evacuate their homes at a few hours warning if the German High Command thought it necessary.
Danish political circles take the view, it is learned, that the building of the defence line indicates that the Germans regard the present frontier as permanently fixed.—Reuter. have taken note of this, the Norwegian Government understood British feelings, but a Neutral State must base its actions in disputes among belligerents only on positive stipula-ions in treaties or international law.
