special Cable Despatch to Tur suS


IoNpoN, Nov. l6.-Russia's invasion
n East Prussia, Posen and Silesia has
sent wave of panic over the eastern
provinces of the German Empire. If re-
ports from Copenhagen and Stockholm
are to be credited. These reports are
chiefly significant as indicating that the
Russian advance is progressing more
rapidly than has been asserted even by
dispatches from Petrograd.
4 correspondent of the Daily Tclc-
ordph reports from Stockholm that the
whole of eastern Germany is upset by
the menace of Cossack raids He hears
that a diplomatic despatch from Vienna
contains information that the civilian
inhabitants Of koeniEsberg. East Prus-
sa and Breslau. in Silesia. are abandon
in- their homes and that only the mill
taly will remain in these strongholds.
From CopenhaCen II is reported, al
le.Dllv from German sources, that
Sla-la expects devastation by fire and
sword and that the wealthy Prussian
laujhoiders. whose immense estates
cover Silesia. are leading the exodus
toward the west.
While these reports may bc eNag
Cerated there seems little doubt that
Germany will soon be reduced to a des-
D4ratc defence along an inner line, with
the fortresses OF Koenigsberg, Thorn,
Rreslau and Cracow as the great links
and with field armies operating between.
The official reports from Berlin, while
asserting skirmish victories over the
Russians. admit that the Cars armies
are well within East Prussian territory
and are al the very frontiers OF Posen
and Silesia.
