why Was France swiftly Attacked "
Russia Provoked the war?

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir. In
letter from friend just returned from q
journey through Germany and Austria
find this paragraph. which sets me
thinking:
Germany believed itself face to face with
ttrussle with Russia over the Slav ques-
tlon and chose to strike before Russia had
time TO carry out It's Intention to ampify
its transportation facilities by building a
complete system Of railways so that It's
armies could he quickly distributed along
tho Austrian and German frontiers.
II Ia certain that Germany did declare
war on Russia But having done so, why
did she not launch her army against
Russia? She would have had the full
support OF Austria, and possibly Turkey
might have been swept into the war on
that side whereas Germany attacked
Franco. II Ii doubtful whether France
would have attacked Germany II left
alone. Allowing Russia ample time 20
gather her armies, Germany attacked
france and invaded Belgium. knowing
surely that this would involve her in 4
life and death struggle with England,
which was something to be avoided at
all costs. for thereby Germany found her
fleet bottled up and her coast blocksded.
