GERMAN ACTIVITIES.
FORMING CENTRAL CORPS. Strong detachments of special auxiliary police are being drafted on Germany’s western frontier, and will be trained in barricade and house-to-house fighting and the blowing-up of bridges and roads, says the Berlin correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. These activities, says the correspondent, are clearly connected with the Saar plebiscite, and it is intended to form a corps around which Saar legionaries could be organised without appearing in uniform. The German Higher Command has toured the demilitarised Rhineland, where the Locarno and Versailles Treaties prevent the stationing of regular troops. The Rhineland, however, is becoming militarised by the presence of police with special military training.
