KEEP AN EYE ON "HINDY."

Wants to Form a New Front Behind the Neutral Zone.

Paris, Dec. 20.--Field Marshal von Hindenburg has telegraphed the Berlin government advising it of his intention to form a new front behind the neutral zone fixed by the armistice according to a dispatch to Le Journal from Zurich to-day.

The government has asked the field marshal for an explanation, adds the dispatch, but has not yet received a reply.

It also is announced two regiments of the active army will be sent to Frankfort-on-the-Main at an early date.

The correspondent affirms that Major General Scheuch, the Prussian war minister; Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General Ludendorff (probably Lieut. General Ludendorff, former governor of Metz,) who is in command of the active troops in Berlin, are behind a counter revolutionary movement. He declares the existing government is manifestly incapable of preventing the realizing of their scheme.
