BASEL, Switzerland. Sept. 21
(AP) German batteries pounded
enemy lines of communication along
the western front today as reports
of swift night movements by
French troops hinted at plans for
major offensive.
Swiss military observers expressed
belief the Joint French-British com
mand now has decided on the point
to launch the first assault on the
main forts of the Siegfried line.
Increased activity was reported
i the part of both French and
German patrols, with the primary
object of taking prisoners and gain
ing information concerning troop
concentrations.
Big Battle Brewing
These reports, and the fact the
French appeared to be consolida
ting their positions instead of at
tempting further local advances,
Increased Swiss belief a great battle
Is in the making.
Behind the Siegfried line the
Germans were said to have sta
tioned motorized units In strategic
reserve positions from which they
can be rushed to any part of the
front when additional strength Is
needed.
