NOTE

For the benefit of those who have
not made a close study Of the war, it
might be well to state that the real OBJ
iect of Won Hindenburg's drive was
to break through the lines of Haig, an
nihilate the English Army, take Paris
and drive on to the sea, thereby cutting
off the French and American armies
from all communication with England.
Had he succeeded, it would, at least in
so far as Europe is concerned, have
ended the war, with Germany dicta-
torially triumphant.
The author, having secured the best
dramatic data obtainable from high
officials in the Secret Service Of the
Allied Nations and anticipating the
German offensive, wrote his play ac-
cordingly.
1t will easily be recognized that
should the plan of "Boelke," as set
forth in "Three Faces East" have sue
ceeded, il would have been a blow to
the English such as the combined loss
Of the Kaiser, Won Hindenburg, Won
Mackensen and Ludendorff would be in
the German Empire, and in conse-
Qucnce, the success Of Won Hinden-
burg's drive would have been practi-
cally assured.
History alone will bring home to us
the grave peril of Humanity and De-
mocracy when the day Of March 21st,
