TROOPS ON MOVE
ACTIVITY IN BRITAIN SECOND FRONT SPECULATION (Rec. 1 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 13. Troop movements in Britain, coupled with reports of intense military activity on the Continent, are causing speculation throughout Britain, says the Daily Mail. The roads leading to various areas in Britain have recently been jammed with military traffic, while railway traffic has reached an exceptionally high level. Several railway lines have been barred to civilians. Many high-ranking officers who have been on active service abroad have now returned to Britain. Thousands of United States and dominion troops are reported to have moved into various areas, where they have taken over new barracks, while additional accommodation is still being built,
Continental speculation centres on the idea that there will be a second front, possibly on the French Atlantic coast, “before the leaves of autumn fall.”
