East Prussia Invasion Only Feint
To Draw Troops From France,
Says Slavs
TAKE CREDIT FOR
ALLIES WIN IN WEST
Weakening of German Lines
Made Possible Victory In
Battle of Marne

PETROGRAD, Sept. 17.--That th'
Germans will not attempt any inya
sion of Russia In force, although they
probably will seek the occupation o.
parts of Russian Poland to protect
their own frontier, is the opinion oi
military officials here.
Oficfal advices received here today
from the front indicate that the Ger
mans are withdrawing part of their
FIRST line troops which were rushed
into East Prussia fortnight ago and
starting them back west, presumably
to aid in reinforcing the lines In
France. Half a dozen active army
corps are reported now In transfer
and their places are being taken by
troops Of the second line.
II has rained very heavily along
the frontier for several days and the
country In the north generally has
been transformed into q bog which
makes the movement of troops very
slow and laborious. Because OF this
fact II Is believed Germany will de-
pend upon her second line troops,
now In the field, to oppose the Rus
sian movement, while she will throw
her entire first line army into action
against the allies In France In an
other supreme effort to destroy the
French opposition.
Oficials here declare that the at.
tempt must fail. The German gen
eral stan, they say. made fatal er.
ror when II weakened Its army Of In
vasion by withdrawing more than
900. 900 men to send TO East Prussia
and to aid the Austrians. IL was in
the hope that the Germans would do
this, IL Is stated. that the Russian
movement in East Prussia was at
tempted long before the Russian
army was completely modified and
ready for service.
The ruse worked. Gen. Won Hin
denberg and several OF the foremost
strategians on the German stan were
rushed into action In the east. Traf.
nc was hurriedly suspended while
