Attack Is. F0 !! |!|
ON GERMANY FROM EAST
British Fleet May Be on Way
Through the OAR
IH;F danelles.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November Am allied
attack on Germany from the east was
foreshadowed by George Nicoll
Barnes, member Of the British war
cabinet, in a speech last evening at
the American Officers Club in Lon
don.
The. armistice with Turkey might
have been signed earlier. said Mr..
Barnes. but we held the Turks on a
string" He explained that the allies
were committed to a free Arab state.
with Aleppo as the capital, and there
was no hurry to get the Turks out OF
the war until Aleppo was captured.
Other places as necessary to the
Arabs as Aleppo also must be sur
rendered.
The British have been assembling
ships at the mouth OF the Darda-
nelles for some time, and Mr.. Barnes
said he understood the vessels already
had started through the straits He
concluded:
There now Is nothing to prevent
the fleet from going into the Black
sea and up the Danube to Germanys
back door. and If the Germans are
going to defend their territory they
must divide their remaining forces
between the western front and the
back door, at which we shall soon be
knocking"
