London, Nov. 29.-"Watch Russia!"
This is the word that came from a

the rumors that have been circu.
lating among military men for sew
eral days that the eastern front will
produce one of the greatest campaigns
of the war this winter.

Reports that the Germans have evac-
uated Mitau and are drawing back
along a wide front, from the Riga re-
gion brought further confirmation. 1t
is no longer a military secret here
that the Russian line has been
strengthened two-fold by the arrival
of fresh troops, large supplies of am
munition and big guns.
The war of the Balkans, now en-
crossing public attention, will soon
fade from the limelight. 1t is believed
here. The ferocious fighting of the
last few weeks will give way to desul-
tory trench battling. The Franco
Flanders front is expected to produce
no more big drives from either side
until next spring.
The task of furnishing tho real talk
of the war this winter, according to
London rumors, is reserved for the
