GERMANS FEVERISHLY ACTIVE. s 'Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) AMSTERDAM. July 27. The Belgian frontier is closed to cover great movements of German troops to replace the terrible losses on tha Somme. The entire German army is in a state of feverish activity, feeling that the critical phase has come. Fresh troops arc continually thrown into the fighting line and the remnants of regiments are sent back to the front after a few days, reinforced by the remnants of other units. British aviators, by fine work, dropped bombs on a troop train near Lille, killing over 200 soldiers.
