INVASION PROSPECT
THE GERMAN ATTITUDE
Rec. 12.30 p.m. RUGBY, Jan. 7. The German official attitude to the prospect of invasion is, according to Stockholm reports, that the new tasks which are obviously awaiting the German army will prevent the use against Russia of some hundred divisions held ready in the west and the north Balkans, plus the reserves at home. The object in Russia will be to maintain organised defence, causing the enemy the greatest possible losses while not hesitating to give up territory, thus ensuring the retention of the greatest strength when conditions again permit an offensive. Meanwhile, the imminence of a third big front imposes the need for operating everywhere in a manner which will secure the greatest possible freedom of action.—B.O.W.
