FEAR RUSSIA may QUIT

the western battle front, and re-
lieving he Teutonic food peril.
Russia undoubtedly is suffering
worse under the strain of war
than aEy other OF the powers.
Among the Slavs the military hui
initiation is intense. not only oe-
cause OF Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's repeated victories over their
armies. but also because OF the
swagger with which they entered
the war and the grandiose annex
alton OF German Poland by prema-
ture ukase.
Not only is Germany firmly in
possession OF large part of Rus
sian Poland. but Austria has recov-
cred most of her Galician territory
and seems destined to regain still
more. Financially Russia is near
national bankruptcy.
