LONDON, March 18—Tlio position of the Ger
man army in the east precludes the transfer of any
troops from that point to the western arena without
sacrificing every position now being held, and' leav
ing a weakened army to meet the onslaught of an
enormous Russian force. The German plan of deal
ing a crushing blow to the Russians before the open
ing of the spring campaign in the western zone, and
permit the movement of a greater part of the eastern
army to tin* west, has utterly tailed, the Germans
with their present large force being barely able to
hold the Russians in check in Roland. Five, of the
six new German army corps that have been raised,
have been sent to Fast Prussia and are engaged in
the fighting there, and it is believed that Germany
will find it extremely difficult for Germany to meet
the demands likely to be imposed' upon her in the
west.
