SASKATCHEWAN FORCES PREPARE FOR GIGANTIC
 BATTLE WITH RUSSIANS

London Oct 13- The allies today are turned to the eastward where, under conditions of the utmost se- crecy, the Teuto11ic allies and the Rus sians are preparing to engage in a conflict which may prove one of the most decisive conabats of the war Evidences are accommodating to show that this gigantic battle will be determined in Russian Poland and the move.is disturbing the experts as to which side has chosen the battle ground.
 Berlin admits having withdrawn from the Niemen river and at the same time discounts the whole move ment in that region as being of no strategic importance
 It is now clear that Russia has aban- doned the marrow point in Galfcias be- tween PrzeInysl and Cracow, Russian forces having virtually acquired all of Galicia with the exception of those two places. Petrograd claims this operation is due to strategic reasons while Vienna maintains that rejuve- hated Austrian armies have manned the Przenysl fortress and driven the invaders out. It is unquestioned that forces, stiffened by German reinforce nents, have resumed the offensive but there is no information here to indicate that the Russian retirement IS anything in the nature Of rout resulting from vigorous lighting.
 The bulk of the Russian troops are on the east bank of thA vistula but a portion of their forces are still on the west side of the river. The nature of the country makes it probable that tn he center of the battle line will be be- tween Sandomir and Ivangorod. both on the Vistula river and about 60 miles apart.
 In order to take ID these positions the Germans have been compelled to abandon strong positions along the river Wa,rthe and avail themselves of the transpo facilities of the Russian railroads, which are poorer than those to which they have been accustom ed
 The Germans are still retiring in the direction of East Prussia and Petro- grad has a report of a Russian vic-e tory near Raczki, midway between Augustowo and Suwalki, which re- suited in the capture of several Ger

man batteries sent from Koenigsberg
 Berlin declares that all of the west ern part of Russian Poland is now in the possession of Germany and that every place west of the Vistula with the exception of Warsaw. is in their hands. It would appear to be a fact that no heavy engagements yet have been fought in this region, most or the fighting being between screens of cavalry.
 Should the Austro-German forces suffer defeat along the battle front it is believed in London, for the in- vasion of Sflesia, which, next to the Rhine provinces is the richest district in Germany. But it is not anticipat- ed, even in the event of their victory, that the Russians will advance with any great speed. The topography of the country and the lack of transport facilities precludee the possibility of anything like the German sweep through Belgium.
 Russia has suffered her most severe marine loss of war by the sinking torpedoed by a German submarine in the BaFtic.

 Along the battle line of the Aisne the very brief official communication given out in Par1s declares that what little change there has been in the situation favors the allies. The chief alteration in this line, however seems to be its disposition to- stretch to- ward the shores of the channel. A most interesting bit of news from the western front is found in the report from various sources that several of the forts around Antwerp are still oc- cupied by the defen ders If this is true, it is argued that possibly the ex- pecfed endorsements for the German right wing may not be sent forward in time.
