PErRoGRAp, Nov. l5.-The severity of
the struggle now beginning on the Russo
German frontier as the first stage of a
new campaign emphasizes the need for
raising tine British force to 100000 men
as speedily as possible. The Russians
have done wonders already. and will do
everything possible through skilled gem
eralship and bravery to open the road to
Berlin But It must be realized that 1t
may take months even to drive the Ger
mans from positions now held, strong

vance
II seems proba Bile that the Germans are
now retiring on the southern part OF the
long front 10 the west bank of the River

COW, Oppen and Breslau. From Breslau
the front will take a northeasterly direc-
ton as far as Thorn. The German armies
in East Prussia will very likely move
westward 10 join hands with tho troops
I'm the neighborhood Of Thorn. Thus the
Germans would present once more an UNI
broken front supported by powerful for
tresses, setting for the Russians a long
and difficult task.
Many Russians already think we are
relying upon them too much instead of eS-
erting ourselves TO the utmost. The call
ing out OF Russian reservists continues.

Vienna is famine stricken, that there
are 100000 men out of work, that the
number OF unemployed is constantly in
creasing. that shops and business places
are closed and that all the citizens are
in absolute despair. These are only few
illustrations of the oalumnies spread by
our enemies.
The Municipal Council therefore passed
on October & a motion for the compila-
ton Of weekly statements to be sent 10 all
neutral States which II Is hoped will in a
fair spirit of congenalhy be afforded an
adequate publicity.
