A WINTER WAR.
RUSSIANS' GREAT ADVANTAGE. WILL GERMANS BESIEGE ANTWERP? "Tithes" and "Syttncy Svn" Services. (Received October i,' 8 a.m.) s XONDON, September 30. Rotterdam reports are to hand that the Germans" are .preparing for a winter campaign, and that men have been withdrawn from the fighting line to re-: turn to the factories in order to prepare sheepskin coats. The Russians have an advantage over the Germans, who are not trained to pursue hostilities in winter, while the Russians become more active as the snow and ice increase. Antwerp advices state that the positions between the three lines of fortifi-, cations have been levelled for the use of the villas and houses have been demolished. /Expert opinion is to the effect that the seizure of Antwerp would involve enormous loss, which the Germans, in their present condition, would not dare to risk.
