LONDON, Sep. 24.—The announce
ment that the Germans and Austrians
are sending an immense army to relieve
the Turks in the Dardanelles war zone
Is received with more or less doubt in
the capital although it is known that
the Teutons have concentrated a large
force along the Serbian border.
It is generally believed that a cam
paign of the immense proportions ne
cessary to accomplish the desired ob
ject is impossible because of the ab
sence of adequate transportation
through the sections which must be
traversed. It is pointed out that an
army of a million men can hardly he
maintained under such conditions as
will he forced to confront in traversing
the wide section of territory lying be
tween Austria and the Dardanelles
.Military experts are also of the opin
ion that an attempt of the Germans tr
cross the territory of Serbia will in
evitably result in bringing in the Rou
manians and further increase the diffi
culties for the marching army.
