the danger of war in Europe that is
particularly worth attention at this
time, when the indications point
strongly to a renewed of strlfe in the
Balkan region.
This information is that Russia is
quietly but steadily preparing for war
on vast scale; that mobilization and
all of the usual activities incidental to
preparation for hostilit1es are being
carried on, and that expectation is
general in Russian army and official
circles that war is coming on a great
scale in the spring.
Moving Secretly.
While it is not specifically stated
that Russia expects to collide with
Austria, there is no doubt Russian
preparations are directed toward that
antagonist.
Marvelously little of the facts are
getting out of Russia through news
The Russian government is apparently
taking lesson in secrecy of prepare

as to the peaceful termination of the
negotiations between the allies and
