Russia Schen,lh Gain Time.
The impression a, Vienna is that Russia
is seeking to gain time only to complete
preparations to march on Herat and pur-
chase in America few more Alsbsmss.
The Vienna correspondent is assured by
high Turkish military authority that Russia
has we'll made roadway between Yladil
kafkas, the terminus OF the North Caucasus
railway, and Tifis The Black Sea is thus
not necessarily exposed TO attack By hos
tile feet. Three ships of the
Russian fleet recently, while passing
down were ordered to return to
Odessa, which is thought to indicate
that Russia is probably expecting the attack
| of Afgbanistan will be followed by instant
war, but subsequent instructions from the
Russian Embassy directed them to pro-
ceed on their outward voyageto Elsdiyostak.

over the prospect Of au Anglo-Russian In

! eooiu,ss jn the last war, that in the event of
a new war Turkey would become an ally OF
England.
