The news from Italy is the sure re-
suit of the state of things in Russia.
The weakness of the Russian line
gave Germany two chances to deliver
a staggering blow.
She could either break through to
the north. try for Moscow and Petro-
grad. and put Russia out of the tight
ing business: or she could make a
feint at Russia. then wheel her great
armies down south and smash Italy.
II she went north she would en-
counter very soon the Russian winter
when operations will be impossible. On
the plains of Italy she can operate
almost as well AT one time Of the year
\ as at another. She chose the Italian
drive.
Here are some facts tiat ought to
make us very thoughtful about this
outlook
Germany would never have dared to
withdraw troops from the Russian
front to drive at Italy. if Russia had
been in good fighting trim.
Russia would have continued to fight
in dead earnest il her people had
willed to fight
The strongest reason why the Rus
sian people had no stomach for war
was because they had no confidence in
the United States.
The Two Reasons.
There were two chief reasons why
tney had no confidence in the United
states: First. the work of American
paciflsts, German sympathizers, and
the German agents sent from this
country to Russia to bring about ex-
actly this condition. Second, the at
titude of a large part of the American
press toward Russia and its troubles.
l 1 have from the beginning tried to
warn you that the work of the Amer
ican pacifists and OF copperhead per-
sons here that are helping Germany
to win was far more deadly to you
J than all the German troops and all the
German commanders. You can judge
now whether / had good reason for
the warning.
N II Germany shall succeed in over
funning northern Italy. she will have
VFrance between two fires. The whole
complexion of the war will be changed
in an instant.
The French and British offensive on
the western front will be changed to
a desperate defense, and half of the
allied forces will have to be with
drawn TO defend France on the south,
where there are no forts. strongholds
or troops.
No Limit to Disaster.
There is hardly limit TO the dis
aster that might follow. We might
see a situation in which this country
alone would have to bear ali the fight
Ing and strain every resource to win
IL would mean an American army of
io."o.oOo men. two-thirds fighting in
Europe.
