A Times correspondent asserts that negotiations have been going on
between the German and Russian Govern- ments as to a military combination to offer armed resistance to the French. The Russian military repre- sentative at Berlin, an ex-Tsarist officer, elaborated a tentative scheme for a Russian invasion of Poland and the Baltic States, combined with a general Communist rising, as a prelude to the appearance of a Russian army in the west. German military experts who have lately visited Russia report, however, that the Red Army is in no condition to undertake a foreign campaign and warn the German Government against relying on any military assistance from this quarter. So the danger of a new anti-Ally bloc is again for the moment averted; but there can be no doubt that if some of the Allies continue to make life impossible for the defeated nations retribution in the shape of a rising of all the aggrieved peoples of Europe will not be very long delayed.
