It Is In tho east that well-informed persons expect the next great hnttlos to occur, and tho arrival of tho Kaiser thero may be 'a signal for a renewal of the great German offensive against tho Rueslnris, which was halted by the Servian cam paign i. . Germans In gcnoral bellevo the var will be won In Iluisln. The deadlock In tho west Is one tha can be broken bv neither Teutons nor Allies without enor mous losses that uoihl make victory In such operations ar empty one, according to some German experts. They point out that the length of the front In Russia makes tho Eastern theatre of war the only ono In which there can be any exer cise of military strntogy. The belief Is growing in Berlin that there will be no campaign against Palon lea. By Its victory in Serbia Germany accomplished Its two-fold purpose of making Bulgaila Its ally and stopping the transportation of ammunition to Rus sia from Salonlcn. Nothing further would he gained by tho capture of Salonlca, tho experts say. Tho enlistment of Bulgnrla as an ally of tho Teutons and the severance of communication between Salonlca and Ilurslu Is a blow at the Ruslans that has been little appreciated except In Berlin. Tho Czar's nrmy'got a largo part of Its ammunition supplies from England and Franco through Salonlca, Noiv It Is de pendent upon Its own exertions and upon the supplies that enn be carried oer the Trans-Siberian railway or taken In through Archangel, which Is completely Icebound In winter.
