PETROGRAD, Oct. 6. - Severe
snowstorms are now raging in the
Baltic provinces, where Field Mar

measure is due to the snow in the

War is imminent We must de-

that it is breach Of Greek neutrality.

case Of Belgium. Numerous cOmpari-
sons between the situation Of King Al

Military writers are keenly inter
