Reported anti.kaiser demonstrations
in Germany, Plus Imminent trouble from
to Poles and Slaves to the east, are big
factor, in the peace situation.
Diplomatic circles are receiving in
dieations that distinct movements are
afoot in Poland, Bohemia and Morayia,
looking to throwing off the German
and Austrian yoke. Concerted action
between Poland and the Czecho- -Sloyak
states may force an early elimination
Of Austria and the creation Of a grave
situation in the east for Germany. The
Czeco-Slovaks in Moravia and Bohemia
have completed their political organi-

rapid gains by the British and French
to the northward make it necessary for
the boche to offer the stiffest resist
ance to the Americans in this region
to avoid being cut off by Pershing's
men taking him in the rear,

enemy is caving in before the Ameri-
cans. If he does, it means the finish
of the war will be on French soil, as
communications between the German
armies win be cut and they will be
doomed.
