WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE United

concerned over the outbreak of the
German Russian war against the Let's
as any of the allies, In the State
struck by this development in Euro
pean. affairs is that the supreme war
council now finds it necessary to
threaten Germany with coercive meas

to mean that the supreme war coun-
Gil proposes to send troops into the

What embarrasses the State Depart
supreme council is likely to ask the
United States to assist in fighting
the German Russian army. In that
event It will be necessary to ask the
consent Of Congress to send American
troops to the scene and the authori-
cation OF Congress is regarded as
doubtful.
The, allies evidently have not sue
ceeded in inducing Germany to
evacuate the Baltic provinces. The
CONSERVATION of the allies over the
