Snow Russia's Defense:
May Fight Next Summer
UNITED Press Leased Wire.)


LONDON, Nov Russia will not fight this win
ter She may possibly be able to fight next summer.
It depends entirely on whether Premier Kerensky,
now gaining strength over his bolshevik enemies will
be able to remould Russias domestic structure From
now until next spring, at least, Russia will rely on
natures defenses Of snow and ice and cold to hold
back Teutonic invaders.
This epitomized Official feeling here today It was
the main lesson which the foreign office in the
Italian catastrophe.
The foreign office was not talking for publication
but officials privately emphasized the view that

later America bear the brunt of the on the
west front.
England has counted Russia out as factor of mill

AS England now sees it, Russia must replace her

exert the smallest balance of military power Premier
Kerensky, officials privately pointed out has realized
this also. He has fought and delayed crisis until
now when winters SHOWS will be coming to bar

Not only that but Petrograd dispatches today in
dicated that out Of the crisis he had emerged with
new strength the bolshevka in votes cast in the
first general municipal elections thruout Russia The
defeat of bolsheviki candidates and overwhelmingly
government majority exhibited in these returns

is believed to hasten the collapse of Russia. Embassy
officials here early this week made effort to con-
ceal their fear lest victory against Italy would be
followed by an overwhelming assault upon Russia
when she was at the ebb of her resisting power.
These officials, maintained however, that Russia S
aims would not be altered and that long Keren
sky and Tereschenko remained at Russia's helm she
would not sign separate peace.
From military standpoint, Russia long since has
been eliminated factor OF Offense by the allies
Here presence in the struggle, however, has forced
Germany to retain more than milan and half men
on the eastern front With Russia out of the way
trely these Teutons will be released for other fronts
vast hordes of Austria ntroops included = and
Italy's situation will become Immediately more crit
cal Russia s elimination releases thousands of Turks
fighting the southern front for operation against
the British.
THAT THE ENTENTE AND THE UNITED
STATES ARE NOW PASSING THRU THE MOST
CRITICAL PERIOD OF THE WAR THUS FAR Is
OFFICIALLY ADMITTED
Between the Russian and Italian situation, the
veneer of optimism here has been cracked 1t is plain
y evident that there is gravest the
cess with which the kaiser apparently is carrying
his campaign to definitely eliminate the so-called
eastern menace"
The greatest danger from Russian withdrawal
is to Italy.
If Germany and Austria are free to release addi-
tional hordes to pour thru Ploeken pass in the
Carnic Alps, they outflank Gen. Cadoma's Ital-
ian armies on the Tagliamento and force the gen.
eral to retreat to the Piave river, it is feared.
Following several days of attempted show of opti-
mism, the Russian and Italian situations por-
trayed in their real dangerous lights today by the
allied military authorities here.
While this is the military view, the Russian en-
bassy and the state department endeavoring to
get some official information the situation thru
diplomatic channels.
