BIG BATTLE ROUMANIAN FRONT
REPORTED GERMANS MAY EVACUATE FRANCE
BELIEVED BERMANS PREPARIN6 TO
EVACUATE FRANCE AND BEL6IUM
International News-Service.
LONDON, Sept. 9. A dispatch, al
most sensational in its posible signi
ficance, reaching hero from Rome has
created immense interest throughout
Kngland and given rise to more spec
ulation than any event connected with
the war for months.
The report is nothing less than an
intimation based on reasonable prem
ises that the Germans are preparing
or at least considering, the withdraw
al of tneir lines along the western
front and possibly a complete evacua
tion of France and Belgium.
The dispatch which was published
in tme of the most conservative Italian
papers this morning states that Berlin
newspapers are openly discussing the
probability of a considerable shorten
ing up of the western lines to allow
for the diversion of troops to the east
ern war zones to meet the great on
slaughts of the Russian and Rou
manians which are threatening the
existence of Austria.
The message states that the Berlin
papers display no hesitation In stat
ing that a drawing in of the western
lines to the German border will not
only allow a more effective insistence*
ill,the east lait will also have the ef
fect of greatly strengthening the Ger
man western lines. Several of the
most important newspapers of the Ger
man capital are reported as being
clearly in favor of a shortening of the
western defensive lines. The report is
doubly significant as showing the im
mense pressure that is being exerted
against the Teutons on the east by
the Russian and Roumanians. It also
shows that the situation there is be
coming vitally dangerous to the tier
mans.
