steadily by the great war machine of
the kaiser, the allies of the triple en-
tente are standing with their backs
almost at the walls of Paris. That

far beyond the outer walls of Paris,
where hills and forests and streams
give the advantage to the defenders.

| tiers of war, she would fight On the
ground of her own choosing.
