BATTLE ON RUSSIAN BORDER
WILL DECIDE WINNER OF
EUROPEAN CONFLICT
If Russians Win Kaiser Must Withdraw Troops From France
to Protect Border. II Germans Win Veteran Forces
Will Join Fighting in France. Result AuOdited in
Suspense
(Associated Press Dispatch.)

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Experts here state
that the battle now raging in the east
ern theatre of war between the Ger
mans and the Russians will probably
decide the winner of the entire war.
If the Russians succeed in defeating
the Germans and crossing the border
into Germany, the Kaiser had best ask
for peace. On the other hand, de-
cisive Germany victory will give the
soldiers of the Vaterland an advantage
that will probably result in their ulti-
mate success in France against the
Allies.
If the Car and his Cossacks win a
decisive victory, the Kaiser will be
forced to withdraw a large number of
his troops from France to strengthen
the German forces on the east bord er
to protect Berlin. This will weaken
the Germans in France and give the
Allies an opportunity to flank the
weakened line and drive them out of
France.
On the other hand, if the Russians
are defeated, large force of the vet
eran troops in the eastern theatre OF
war can safely be withdrawn and sent
into France to reinforce the Germans
there. This will give them the advant-
age, and the Allies will face a force
hopelessly large The Germans will
then be able to pierce the Allies lines
and win decisive victory.
"Which~<Dr side can extend it's lines
without weakening it's front will win
the battle of the Aisne," they state.
Thus the battle on the Russian border
will decide the ultimate outcome of the
war.
For the past twelve hours news from
the front has been contraband of war
here. In spite of meagre reports, de-
cided optimistic tone is evident around
the war office News from the great
battle raging in the eastern theatre is
anxiously awaited, as the English peo-
pie understand the Importance of a
Russian victory there.

can produce wheat sufficient to supply

ably 1900 to 1000 acres is harvested.
