REVIEWS CAMPAIGN
Russia MObiliZes Faster Than
Powers Expected Warlike
Movements.
[BY LEASED WIRE.1

LONDON, Aug. THE military ex-
pert of the London Times discusses
the Observation-Disclosures military
situation today as follows:
ION Germany's eastern frontier Rus
sian armies are mobilizing more rapid
ly than was at first expected. Twenty
days from the last Sunday were al.
lowed before the aggressive advance
can begin, but the Russian railways
are working well, and the main lines
are said to be giving forty trains a
day.
IF this rate can be kept up, the
Russian army, which we assume to be
behind the Vistula will be able to ad.
vance. We do not know the Russian
plan of campaign, but as Berlin is the
center of gravity, it is likely that the
attack will center upon this point"

Blacky waited until he was sure that
no one else was coming. Then he clear
ed his throat very loudly and began to
speak. Friends said he.
Everybody grinned. for Blacky has
played so many sharp tricks that no one
is really his friend. unless it is that
other mischiefmaker, Sammy Jay. who.
YOU know. is Blacky's cousin. But no
one said anything. and Blacky went on.
Little Joe Otter has told us how he
saw Farmer Browns boy hurry home
Bear on the edge of the Laughing Brook
and how all the way he kept looking be-
hind him as if he We're afraid. Perhaps
he was, and then again perhaps he
wasn't Perhaps he had something else
on his mind. You have made a hero Of
Buster Bear because you believe Little
Joe's story. Now. I don't say that l
don't believe it. but ! do say that ! will
be lot more sure that Farmer Brown s
boy is afraid of Buster when I see him
run away myself. Now. here is my
plan: Tomorrow morning very early
Sammy Jay and I will make great fuss
near the edge of the Green Forest.
Farmer Browns boy has a great deal
of curiosity. and he will be sure to come
over to see what it is all about. Then
we will lead him to where Buster Bear
is If he runs away. then l will be the
first to admit that Buster Bear is as
great hero as some of you seem to
think he is. 1t is very simple plan
and if you will all hide where you can
watch you will be able to see for your
selves If Little Joe Otter Is right Now
what do you say?'
Right away everybody began to talk
at the same time. 1t was such sim
pie plan that everybody agreed to 1t.
And it promised to be so exciting that
everybody promised to be there; that is.
everybody but Grandfather Frog and
Spotty the Turtle. who didn't care to GO
so far away from the Smiling Pool: 50
his plan the very next morning.
