Attack on Germany
From East Through
Back Door Predicted

LONDON. Nov. An allied at
tack on Germany from the east
was forcshadOwed by George
NlcoIl Barnes, member Of the Brit
ish war cabinet, in speech last
evening at tho American officers
club In London.
The armistice with Turkey might
have been signed earlier. said Mr..
Barnes, but we held the Turks on
a string
lie explained that the allies were
cummitteed to free Arab state
with AlcppO as the capital and
there was no hurry to get the Turks
out ~ the war until Aleppo was
captured. other places as neccs-
stry to the Arabs as Aleppu also
must be surrendered.
The British have been assem-
bling ships at the mouth OF the
pardanelles for some time and Mr..
Barnes said he understood the ves-
sells already had started through
the straits.
lie concluded:
There is nothing TO prevent the
fleet from going to the Black sea
and up the Danube to Germany's
back door, and II 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 knock ing"
