Reports reaching London state that new defence works are being constructed all along the Belgian coast. The German-controlled newspaper “Le Nouveau Journal,” published in Brussels, openly admits that the possibility of a second front in Europe has upset the calculations of the German General Staff for the campaign in Russia.
