TROOPS MOVE
Austrians Sent To German Frontier TRAINLOADS OF MEN Grave Reports of Military Activity Across Border (Received April 30, 12.48 a.m.) Vienna, April 29. Austrian troops arc moving up to Salzburg and the Tyrol along the German frontier owing to grave reports of German military activity. Nine trainloads of infantry left Styria for the important railway junction of Bischofshofen. The Innsbruck airport is preparing to accommodate several squadrons of the Austrian air force, and other troops are being dispatched to Zellamsee and Aussfern. Across the frontier 12 German sharpshooter battalions are training in the Bavarian Alps. Rosenheim, 20 miles from the frontier, has become the seat of a division’s headquarters, though even before the war not a single regiment was stationed in the district. Large forces of infantry are stationed at Garmisch.
