TEUTONS PLANBALKAN DRIVE
War Council Orcers 300,000Troops to Near East Zone.
(my the laternatieal Newa Service.)London, Sept. 14.-Three hundred thou-
sand Teuton troops will be dispatchedat once from other theaters of war tothe Balkan front. Germany will fur-niah 30,000 Austria Hungary, 100,000 men.This army, combined with the Ger-
mans, igars, and Turks now fighting,is thearest approach to the dual aimwhich the central powers and their al-lies regard as absolutely vital for thecontiuation of the war-the crushing ofRoumania and the repulsion of the al-lies from Macedonia--so as to safeguard the communication between theTeutonic empires and their eastern al-lies. the Orient Railway.This, according to a wireless dispatch
from Rome, based ikp reliable authorityis the decision reached by the centralcouncil of the central powers at theKaiser's headquarters in the East."Offensive in the Balkans; defensive
everywhere else," is the slogan createdby the recent developments In the NearEast as toe result of Roumania's inter-vention.Evidences of a gradual shortening of
the German western front are accu-mulating. Indications that Verdun willbe abndoned is contained in today'sParis war office statement that a wholedivision has been sent from that frontto the. Somme, and far behind thePicardy lines the Teutons are feverishlyconstructing new defense systems.Late tonight news came from Amster-
dam that large numbers of Germantroops stationed in Belgium are beingtransferred to the eastern front, pre-sumably to relieve front-line units sentfrom the Russian to the Balkan theater.All passenger service on the German
railroad. has been held up for two daysto facilitate troop movements.
