BERLIN, Jan. 2l.--since the official organ
OF the German army, the MiiitW UochR-
Olaf, gave It's luminous comparison Of the
strength OF the frontier forces of Germany
and Russia, the discussion OF the situation
has elected nothing more definite than the
semi-oflicial statement in several papers
today that, despite the arrival OF additional
Russian troops ON the frontier, the Ger
man government for the present will not
order the counter movement necessary to
equalize the strength of the two forces.
This is one OF several indications that the
government believes war has been delayed.
The reports reaching the war Office touch
ing the breaking down Of the Russian
transport service, the waste Of munitions,
the defective commisariat and the starva-
ton and disease In the Russian army, en-
able the announcement 10 be made that
Germany maintains waiting attitude.
On the Russian side the discovery that IL
would be impossible to open effectively an
early campaign has caused the war party
10 modlly It's tone.
The Moscow Gdsdte yesterday indicated
the pacific policy OF Russia. II declared
that peace was assured unless Russia
should be provoked by aggressive acts OF
her neighbos. The Noroe Trcniyd pro-
tests that the Russian armdments are
purely defensive. The Srct disputes the
WochmJidus figures and tries 10 prove that
Germany can concentrate million men
on the frontier OF Poland within ten days,
while Russia's huge areas Of territory and
imperfect means Of transportation render
diilicultthe work Capitalization. The post
ponement Of the rupture is not in Accord
ance with the strategy Of the Berlin war
office, nor with the wishes OF the Nienncsc,
but continues due 10 the irrcsolutiOn OF the
Austrian government. Although convinced
that war is inevitable and that IL would be
preferable for Austria sooner than later,
Count Kalnoky persists In waiting Russia's
time. Public sentiment in Vienna and
Pesth displays irritation over the position.
The Hungarian paper change kalnoky
with too great subser,.ence 20 Bismarck,
and urge that action be taken without
waiting for an order from Berlin. The
truth Of the position. however, Is that
Prince Bismarck has already informed
Count Kalnoky Of the fact that German
initiative 10 war Is impossible, leaving the
Austrian government free 10 open hostili.

Another version Is sc'ni-oflicially issued
In Vienna tonight OF the Russian military
attache, Zujciic's, recent statement that
two new divisions Of Russian troops had
arrived nj the Galcian frontier. The iirst
version Of this statement, which was also
semi-oilicially given, vas distinctly mcnac-
ing. II Ii now stated that NJ. Zujcllc,
