TO RUSSIA OR FRANCE. KAISER’S SUPERIOR WISDOM! Petrograd, February 26. A newspaper states that the War Council at Berlin was summoned to discuss the best methods of dissipating the bad impression caused by the fall of Erzerum, the German and Bavarian Crown Princes and Generals Hinclenburg and Mackensen being present. The Crown Princes hotly advocated the advance on Verdun, which the Fieldmarshals opposed, urging that it would be better to develop the operations planned against Russia, where General Hindenburg said the chances of success were greater. The Kaiser supported the Crown Princes, and orders were immediately given to complete the transport of reserves of men and material westwards.
