BERLIN, January 21.-Since the of1clal
organ Of the German army, the military
Woechenblatt. gave it~s:luninous comparl-
son If the strength of the frontier forces OF
Germany and Russia, discussion OF the slC'
nation has elected nothing more oennlte
than a s%emi-oficial statement In several
papers to-day that, despite the arrival OF
additional Russian troops on the irontler'
no German Government for the present
will not order a countermovement neces-
sary to e~oualize the strength Of the two
forces, This is one of several Indications
that the Government believes war has been
della we'd. The Moscow Gazette yesterday
indicated the pacific policy OF Russia IL
declared that peace was assured Unless
Russia should be provoked by the agrees
sive acts of her %neighbors. The Svet dis
mites the W~oechenblatt's figures and tries
to prove tha Germany can concentrate a
million men on the frontier OF Poland with
in ten DAYS, while RussiA's huge areas OF
territory and imperfect means OF transpor-
tation render difficult the work OF mob
ilization. The
POSTPONEMENT OF THE RUPTURE
is not in accordance with the strategy OF
the Berlin war office, nor with the wishes
of the Viennese, but continues due to the
irresolution of the Austrian Government.
Although convinced that war is inevitable,
and that it would be preferable for Austria
sooner than later, Count kalnoky persists
in waiting Rnssia's time. The truth OF the
position, however, is that Prince Bismarck
has already fully impressed Count kal-
noky that the German initiative
to war is impossible, leaving
the Austrian Government free
to open hostilities when 1t deems the time
rire. Another version is semi-Otficlally IS
sued in Vienna tonight of the Russian mill
tary attache Zujeff's recent statement that
two new divisions of Russian troops had
arrived at the Galician frontier. The first
version of this statement, which was also
semi officially given, was distinctly menac-
ing. It is now stated that NJ. Zujeff, while
conversing with Austrian officials, only
stated that the displacement OF divisions
would be effected gradually in the course
OF the present year. Since the
E ANrI-soCIALIsT PROJECT
was placed before the Reichstag the oppo-
sition has waxed strong from all parties
except the Conservative group. The
National Liberals seem to be tending to-
ward a decision to reject the measure I'M
lessi it is greatly modified. Their criticism
Of the project has become SO bitter that
the organs OF that party assail the general
spirit of the measure. 1t is commended
despite the law, the Socialist party
grows. As a result OF the discomfort
mons this portion OF the Reichstag the
measure will be abandoned and the period

two years. The Cr, wn Prince is
writing much every Gay and it is surmised
the immense quantity of documents
ana works he has consulted bearing upon
he campaigns of k"eniSgratz and Sedan
that he Is writing IL hist OF the Austrian
and FrancO-Gerulan wars.
