Rush Toward

THE GIGANTIC STRUGGLE
Within Few Days There VIII be a
Battle Royal Along
the Eastern
Front.

LONDON. Aug. 5.-The Germans
are massing both troops and guns on
the eastern front for a great counter
offensive under Won Hindenburg, de-
signed to stem the Russian advance
against Kovel and Lemberg.
This news was received here from
several neutral points TODAY and was
partly confirmed in dispatches from
Berlin. For several days troop trains
nave been leaving Berlin daily. carry
ing reserves to the eastern front.
Berlin believes the crisis of the war
is approaching on the eastern front
and for this reason great crowds are
gathering daily to bid the departing
troops farewell.
Field Marshal Won Hiackensen
who inaugurated the great German
offensive against the Russians a year
fago, has Joined Won Hfndenburg on
the eastern front. the Austrian
crown prince, recently on the Italian
front. has assumed charge Of opera
tions in Galicia.
Reports from Amsterdam today said
the first blow probably would be
struck in the southeast where the
Slavs have achieved the greatest
success, Hindenburg aiming to throw
back the whole Russian line by driv-
ing in the left flank and at the same
time silencing the Roumanian lead
ers who have been urging King Ferdi-
nand to join the allies. The battle,
it is believed will gradually spread
until the whole eastern front is in
volved in gigantic struggle compar-
able to that of early last summer.
1t is too early to determine whether

tachments which had crossed the
