JAPAN DEDIOES TO GIVE
ACTIVE 1 TO RUSSIA ON
EASTERN BATTLE FRONT
TOKIO. AUG. 24 — PREMIER
OK IMA TODAY STATED THAT
JAPAN HAD DECIDED TO GIVE
RUSSIA GREATER ASSISTANCE
THAN HERETOFORE IN THE
PROSECUTION OF THK WAR
AGAINST THE TEUTONS AND
THE TURKS.
The above announcement is not
surprising to those who have
watched the progress of events
!n *!it Eastern war zone and have
rca* of the overwhelming reverses
whic^x [lie Russians have been
meeting in Poland. Japan, from
tlie attitude she took in favor of
tno allies in the earlier stages of
th» war and her activity in the re
duction of certain Germanic strong
holds iu the Orient as well as her
possessions in the Pacific, will have
to stand firmly behind Russia in
the present crisis in the latter's
military and naval affairs to pre
serve her own integrity.. With a
large and well equipped Japanese
army thrown into the battlefront
alon; the Russian frontier the Teu
tons will have to face a far more
serious problem than they have bo
far with the hordes of Russians
with whom they have had to con
tend but who were sadly handi
capped Id the war game by the lack
of many necessities that go to make
up an efficient modern fighting ma- I
chine.
With the practical assurance that I
Bulgaria and Greece and Rumania
will Join the allies and the fact
that Italy has alrady declared '
war on Turkey, there are being un-1
folded plans for a gigantic offen-!
sive movement against the Teuton
ic allies that is designated to coun
teract their recent successes in
Russia and to have important
bearing on the final result of the
war in Europe. The first step in
the campaign comprehends the |
ear'v elimination of Turkey, the j
opening of the Dardanelles and U'o
the Bosporus and the relief
of toe Russian situation with soro
ly needed supplies and men If I
11 ded. The next step, w.hich may
be orosecuted simultaneously with
the other will be the invasion of i
Austria-Hungary from the south.
Italy has 650,000 men to engage
in such a campaign, and Rumania
800,000. It is estimated that Bul
garia and Greece will be able to I
sand mere than 1,000,000 into the
ield.
Dispatches from Salonika say
"vat Bulgaria has already concen
trated 150,000 men on thg Turkish
frr.ntitr, menacing Constantinople
from the north in a mannre that
mus* result in the weakening of
t' e Turkish defenses to the large
ly reinforced army and fleet that
is operating against the Turks on
the Gallipoli peninsula.
