the capabilities of the Russian
forces to take the offensive are
fully shared by the German general
staff. Indeed, the Germans have
never questioned their own ability
to deal adequately with the Russian
menace" always provided they
were not simultaneously compelled
to fight on their western front. 1t is
just this free hand In the west
which has been their great political
objective and may become their
military objective If they cannot OBJ
tain 1t by other means.
Eastern Front May Rise Again.
But while the present situation
continues they may find themselves
forced into one bargain after an
other with the Russians, always, of
course, having in mind the day of
reckoning when Germany's hand
shall be free to restore her eastern
position, but always, also, with the
fear in mind that the eastern front,
which they had thought the destruc :.
ton of Poland and the Russo Ger
man agreement had eliminated, may
be reconstructed on the Danube
and perhaps on the Brenner-by the
time the coming of spring makes
Central Europe once more a prac-
ticable battle-ground.
Faced with. these difficulties and
dangers, faced with an increasing
realization of the determination of
the British and French peoples to

mitted to the advocacy of freedom
for all these countries. 1t is an open
secret that many of the best and
most liberal minds in Britain have,
for some time, been at work on the
formulation of statement of Brit
ish war aims which would be di-
rected toward objectives insuring as
far as possible a permanent, or at
least lengthy peace. following the
conclusion of the present hostilitiss,
rather than a mere armistice such
as that of 1918.
Such peace would fulfill the as
pirations of the British and French
peoples and be prize-indeed, al
most the only prize-worth the sacri-
fees that will be demanded of them
Reich Must Weigh Risks.
In the military sense. the forma-
ton of new front In the Danubian
arta might well prove disastrous to
Germany unless she could obtain
active Russian cooperation, and
even then the actual ability Of the
Russian forces to do much more than
defend Russian territory is decidedly
open to question, especially against
so formidable concentration of
force as the allies, plus Italy, Turkey
and the Balkan states, could as
semble.
1t is, therefore, definitely to Ger
Evening star., 1939-11-19

many's interests to prevent such q
consolidation of force by the we'll
tried and proven method of picking
of one by one of the small nations
which might otherwise be brought
together under allied leadership.
Since any German attempt upon
Yugoslavia would definitely COM
plete the process of German-Ital-
ian alienation, Hungary and Ru-
mania would appear to be the can
didates for German pressure cam
paign and perhaps military cam
paign in this direction. But Ger
many must weigh the risk of such
moves producing the very consol-
idation which she hopes to avoid,
against the risk of allowing the al
lies a comparatively free hand in
the Balkans. Moreover, she must
weigh the very evident fact that
such Russian aid as she may be-
speak must be paid for in one way
or another.
Likewise, in the north Germany
must at some point seek to put an
end to Russian advances in the
Baltic or to obtain compensating
advantages.
Some understanding of the pres
ent rather obscure and confused sit
uation may be obtained by remem-
bering that Germany's original mil
itary objective was to eliminate
Poland as threat to her eastern
expansion. in the hope that a light
ming campaign against Poland
might be followed by allied recog-
milton of the accomplished fact and
a peace which would leave Ger
many free to continue to devote her
attention to the east of Europe, at
least for the time being.
The doubts entertained by Brit
ish and French soldiers regarding

rope.
According to the Paris story, which
remains as yet quite unconfirmed,
Russia is to include within her
sphere Finland, Estonia, Latvia and
Eastern Lithuania. while recognizing
German interests as supreme in
Western Lithuania, Sweden and
Denmark. Russia is alleged to have
refused to include Norway in the
German sphere on the ground that
Norway is not Baltic state. This
would appear to leave open the pos
sibility of Russia later laying claim
to an ice-free port on the Atlantic
in the northern part of Norway
while perhaps permitting Germany
to extend its influence over the
southern part of that country. which
would afford the German Navy a
matchless series of harbors as bases
for submarine and surface raiders.
Turks Alive to Danger.
The alleged Balkan agreement, it
will be recalled, gave Yugoslavia,
Hungary and part of Rumania to
Germany, while recognizing Russian
interests as paramount in Bessara-
bia, Bulgaria and Turkey. The con-
clusion of the pact between Turkey
and the allies, following the COM
plete breakdown of the Russo Turk
ish negotiations, would seem to in
dicate that the Turks are fully alive
to their danger and are seeking.
while yet there is time, the support
of England and France, which could
be much more directly afforded them
than was the case with the un-
fortunate Poles.
The denunciations in the Italian
press of Russian intrigues in the
Balkans and the assertion that Italy
will never allow Russia to advance
beyond the Carpathians. coupled
with recent reports of Italo-Greek
and Italo-Turk rapprochement, mark
the gradual approach of Italy to-
ward a new orientation of policy
and indicate that at Rome, as at
Ankara, the dangers of a Russo
German attempt to divide South
eastern Europe between them are
clearly understood. But Italy has
not forgotten her aspirations for
power and may well be waiting for
the completion of her new battle
ships in order to regain in some part
that naval freedom of action which
is a necessary basis for diplomatic
freedom of action and for the driv-
ing of advantageous bargains.
Germany also must be alive to the
dangers implicit in the present sit
uation. Perhaps the most formidable
of these dangers may lie in recon-
stitution of the eastern front by
consolidation of the Balkan nations
backed by Great Britain, France and
Turkey and quite possibly by Italy

land, Czecho- -Slovakia and Austria

CANADA NAY BRAG, But CANNOT REACH this

People have been going around
saving that while Canada has its
ouints. the United States is doing
pretty well too-with its five sets of
quads.
We'll that isn't true The United
States has SIX sets of quads-one
of them has missed most of the
publicity. that's ALL A little re-
search after the recent birth of
the Texas Badgetts unearthed the
sixth set in South Dakota

The research also unearthed the
fact that headquarters of the AM

all these quads are a testimonial to
the growing efficiency of medical
science.
Most children of multiple birth
are prematurely born" it says.

because doctors didn't know how
to care for him. There are more

medicine knows better how to take
care of premature babies"
Five states are blessed with quad
ruplets: Texas with two sets), Ok
lahoma, South Dakota, New Jersey
and Michigan.
The Keys sisters of Oklahoma,
now %, are said to be the only quads
ever to reach maturity. They're
good Joking, but they don't expect
marriage to break them up-just
yet.
All of the quads come from mod
