Destruction

Along the Germano-Polish frontier heavy earth charges of dynamite sent clods, cement and steel hurtling. . . .

Polish frontier guards could not conceal their satisfaction--nor Germans their discomfiture. The hurtling fragments meant that the Germans were carrying out their promise to the Allied Council of Ambassadors (TIME, Dec. 20) that they would destroy the German fortifications against Poland, Germany having entered the League of Nations.
