GERMAN TROOPS
ARE RETURNED TO
W. FRONT FROM
EAS I PRUSSIA
Puzzling to Military Ex-
perts Is Action of Ger
many in Withdrawal

London, Sept. 17.-(s A. MA Pc
trograd special dispatch to the Times
says:
According to the latest information
available here the Germans, realiz-
ing the futility of the withdrawal OF
eight army corps from their western
front, are returning their first line of
troops from East Prussia westward.
Military writers here are still puz-
zling over the problem why Germany
should have made the blunder of
sending such an enormous army to
East Prussia, where it was bound to
remain either inactive or make an at
tempt to invade Russia with the al
most complete certainty of sharing
the fate of the Austrian forces IN
Galicia.
The real explanation seems to be
that when half the population of East
Prussia stampeded before General
Rennenkampf. carrying the panic to
Berlin, Germany felt compelled to
tranquilize the population by sending
agreat army to the area occupied by
the Russians"

Forces in France

There are already in France" said
Earl Kitchener, rather more than six
divisions of our expeditionary force
The latest advices from Sir John
French. he said, did not materially
change the situation from the pub
lished statements.
The troops were in good heart
ready to move forward when the
moment arrived"
In addition to the six divisions of
troops, he said, there were two di-
visions of cavalry in France which
were being maintained at their full
strength. while further regular divi-
sions and additional cavalry were be-
ing organized from units drawn from
over seas garrisons.
A division of territorials already
had left for Egypt, he said, a brigade
for Malta and a garrison for gibral-
tar. AS to the two new armies. new
divisions were now assembling at
training quarters and a third army
vas being formed on the new camp
ing ground. a fourth army was be-
ing created and Indian divisions were
on their way.
A steady flow of achievements was
required, said Earl Kitchener.
In his dispatches from the front, Sir
John French, commander of the Brit
ish expeditionary force, had omitted
the secretary continued, one aspect OF
the situation-''the eonsummate skill
and calm courage of the commander
himself
The government appreciated, how
ever, the full value of Sir Johns sue
cess. Earl Kitchener also paid a trib-
ute to the other generals and the
bravery and endurance of the officers
and men of the expeditionary force.
On the subject of recruiting, Ear
Kitchener said;
"a country which prides itself or
outdoor sport as does England, should
have no difficulty in finding men cap
able of making officers. The terrisorials
are making great strides in efficiency
and before long will be able to take
their part in the campaign. Meanwhile
reserve units are being sent to aug
ment the expeditionary force and theil
places are being filed by Territorials
While England has good GROUND
for quiet confidence, it should BIZ
borne in mind that the struggle /:
bound to be a long one. and it behoov
es us to develop armed forces to car
ry on and bring the mighty conflict tt
a successful conclusion 1t will be nee
essary in order TO keep the army a
it's full strength to maintain a stead,
flow of reinforcements."
