misteriosa decisiva azione che
condurra' ALA fine della guerra.
Come materia di fatto, peraltro,
,questa ritirata sembra che sia
una diretta consequence della
battaglia della Somma, che, per
j Tedeschi e. stata la piu' terri

Ia Germania cerca pace

Da qualche giorno a questa
parte parecchi agenti inviati dal
governo tedesco 81 recano nell

situazione a tai punto che 81 pos
sono fare attualmente offerte di
pace assai different da quelle

fra lie attire cose, non puo piu'
sostenere che uno degli scopi che
cerca di raggiungere e. quello di
ottenere la liberia della Polonia
e della Lituania, giacche' la ri
