PARTITION PLAN.
Russia May Move Against Poland Soon. PERSISTENT REPORTS. BERLIN", September 10. Some Germans are predicting that Russia will take military action against Poland within a few days "as a reprisal for Polish violations of the frontier," but there does not appear to be a responsible basis for this prediction. The Copenhagen correspondent of the "News Chronicle" says circles close to tlio Wilhelmstrasse confidently expect that Russian troops will invade Poland as soon as the Polish Army's resistance is finally shattered by the Germans. The garrisons on the Soviet's southwest frontiers have recently been increased from 1,00(?,000 to 2,000,000 men and it is estimated that the Russians have 4,000,000 men under arms. The Soviet is expected to occupy Polish Ukrainia while the Germans advance eastward to this position, and another partition of Poland is thus effected. 1
