HUNS TO JOIN

LONDON, Aug. 20.--For months
the theory has been spread by certain
quarters in Germany that united ac-

former enemies
Today the Evening News says i,
understands the Germans are prepar-
ing to send an army to Russia to

willing TO place such an army under
allied commanders. The newspaper
characterizes the suggestion as "amaz-
ing" but adds it may ma,erialire.
There is considerable scepticism in
other quarters, however, with regard
to any such German "ieelcrs." In the
first place, i, is felt they emanate only
from restricted junkerist circles which
want to see bolSheyiSm crushed at all
costs because it is menace to their
reactionaty plans Secondly, popular
feeling in Germany is, according 10
all dispatches, Just as strong against
military operations in Russian as it
is in the entente countries, Another
suspicion expressed is that the Ger

that way to have Germans interrnnglc

been a privileged class.
