The stand being made at Vistula has caused several military exeprts at Pelrograd to assert that German re inforcement from France uro beiu sent to Galicia instead of to Fast Prussia, as was at firt reported. This is done, according to (he opinion or these experts, because Germany feared that an overwhelming disaster of tiie Austrian forces might lead the dual monarchy to concludo pence in dependently of Gcrmuny. Other ex perl observers in Potrograd nro equally firm in the opinion that tIo Gcnnau veterans fro.n the. fields of Belgium and France have been sent to Fast Prussia, whero their pres ence U believed lo Recount for tins Russian cheek.
