FROM FRIDAYS DAILY
London, Xoc. 20—Air scouts
bring the information that 8he
Gormans are moving their be-1.
; ^ops firm the battlefields ot
France and Flanders to the
Russian frontier, where the
Kaiser evidently plans to crush
he Russian forces. St. Peters
burg admits tliaft their center
is broken, and the Germans are
pouring into Poland in a steady
stream by the tens of thous
ands. Their generals are evi
dently trying to roll back each
side of the center on to the
flanks and thus cut Mie line
of communication of the south
era wing. Thus would relieve
the pressure both in Austria
and Ea.-t Prussia .for the bal
ance of the Russians would be
forced to fall back, or court dis
a-ter wrth the Germans attack
ing them on one flank and Ihe
Austrians \>n the other. Plan
are now in the making how
ever for the Allies to take the
offensive all along the western
battleline, which will -top the
withdrawal of troops ju their
front and probably give the
Russians time to re-organlze.
Men from the fleet- of both
France and England are being
rushed to the front to swell the
numbers opposing the Ger
man armies. The big gun- of
the different corps are being
rushed forward, and within the
next day or 'two, the probabil
ities are file history of the
war will record one of the big
gest battles in the world thu
far. Great Britain now ha>
close lo half a million men in
Europe, and thousands are be
ing added to it daily. France
now has as many men in the
field a- Germany has in the
Western theater, and once

Allies, even in a small way. the
