are nearly as strong as ever, and that
at no time since the beginning OF the
world war has the kaiser's army been
engaged in battle on German soil.
THE German forces have succeeded
in holding back the French and En-.
glish attacks on one side with one

the Russians.
Since the dethronement of Car

Russians, under their new freedom.
may sue for a separate peace with
the central powers.
If such a thing should be done sue.
