fensive in Northern Italy reach the
Adige either before winter shuts
down or in the spring. The central
powers have advanced in the noun
tains now to the point where they
possess most of the necessary ground
and the Italian position seems TO
me untenable. The Italians will
naturally hold 1t as long as possible,
to gain time to prepare the line OF
the Adige, but the line of the PiaVe,
in the judgment of military men, is
no longer permanently tenable, in
the face OF recent Austro- German
gains on the Asiago Plateau.
This means that Venice will fall.
II means that q new strain may be
put upon allied resources in men IL
Italy calls for further reinforce
ments. Add to this a successful Of
fensive in the spring against
Salonica, and what will the result
be? Win the allies then send still
more troops from the west to save
the Balkans? IL they do, so much
the better opening for a German Of
fensive in the west so much greater
the strain upon allied transport and
by so much more the domestic prob
lens of food and power in the allied
countries are complicated. Exactly
the same circumstances are in the
picture If the Salonica blow is pre-
ceded by a winter campaign against
Bagdad.
If the Germans can wait six
months, il their economic, political
and Industrial condition enables the
high command to pursue a strategy
purely concerned with military con-
siderations, then it seems to me they
are bound to make their first cam
paigns in Macedonia and in ASIA
with an intensiflcation of pressure
upon Italy, if they do not push her
behind the Adige before the spring
campaign opens.
Thereafter, If the allies should
yield TO the obvious temptation and
French and British troops are sent
to Italy and to Salonica, IL British
troops are Withdrawn from Flanders
for Egypt and Palestine, then the
Germans can launch their great
western offensive. Meantime they
can threaten this great blow, using
Ii as a political rather than a mill
tary weapon, holding it over the
heads OF their western foes and thus
possibly contributing to the discus
sion Of peace.
If the allies hold fast to the west
and take their losses in the east,
Germany, having launched no west
ern offensive. can still seek a peace
by negotiation with the coming Of
the winter, using the successes she
may have attained, perhaps at Salon.

The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-01-05

The campaign OF 1918 opens with
certain very clearly marked problems
ia all minds. BY reason Of the Rus
sian collapse and the Italian disaster,
the Germans have regained the Of
fensive, the initiative. Theirs is now
the opportunity and the power 10
strike. For their enemies the riddle
is now: Where will the next Ger
man blow fall? In the West, in SAL
onica, In Asia? In addition, there is
the problem Of the Italian campaign,
which is still proceeding. Will the
Germans and their Austrian allies,
who are doing most Of the work, be
able to press their advantage to the
extent of compelling the Italians
now supported by the French and the
British, to fall back to the line Of
the Adige, surrendering Venice,
Vicenza and Padua?
1T Is perhaps worth while at the
outset to examine for a moment the
conditions out Of which the present
German advantage has grown. At
the outset of the last campaign, that
Of 1917. the German situation was,
on the surface, almost desperate.
Russia, France, Britain and Italy
with their minor allies, possessed a
combined force vastly in excess of
the troops of Germany and Austria.
The Central powers were outnumber-
ed on every front, and, by contrast
with their condition in the previous
year, they no longer possessed a
strategic reserve like that used
against Verdun.
Beginning in June, July and
August, 1916. when French and Brit
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-01-05

paign the Allies would suffer a moral
defeat. They would have promptly
to decide whether to send troops
from the West to the Near East at a
moment when the German blow in the
West would still seem to be hanging
over their heads. For. whatever hap
pens, the Germans are going to have
the men and the guns to attack in
the West IL they choose, without re-
gard to any Macedonian effort. In
fact, If the Allies should decide to
send men and guns from the West
to Salonica, in addition to the armies
which win have to be maintained In
Northern Italy, the Germans might
decide, rightly or wrongly, that the
situation in the West, thus modified,
warranted the launching Of real
offensive which should aim at a de-
cision.
In a word, a German offensive
against salonica which would have a
real chance of success would, at the
opening OF the fighting season Of
1913, upset all the Allied plans and
precipitate a real crisis, the crisis
incident to making the decision
whether to continue to spend men and
guns and transport, the most prec-
ious element Of all, upon Macedonian
sideshow.. If the decision was against
such dissipation Greece might fall,
and the German domination of the
Balkans would be complete, the
kaiser would re-establish his brother
in-law and confront the world with
the accomplished fact.
Now, as to Asia. Just as an at
tack upon Salonica would, in the
main, be made by Bulgar troops, an
offensive against Bagdad and Jeru-
salem would be chiefly the work or
Turkish troops, German led, reinforce
ed by few German divisions and
munitiOned and gunned by the Ger
mans 1t would cost the Germans
little in life and a failure would have
no disastrous effects at home. And
the same is equally true of the Sal
onica enterprise; If it succeeded, the
British would have to face the prob
lem of making new sacrifices in the
West and Withdrawing new divisions
or Of accepting the loss Of Mesopo-
tarnia and giving all their attention
To the defence Of Egypt. Egypt and
india would. in sense, be imperilled,
and both have a value in the British
mind wholly unappreciaited by any
other nation save the German.
The last thing in the world I am
irving to do is to prophesy that the
Germans will make their great effort
for 1918 in Macedonia or in Asia, or
in both regions. What / am trying
~ point out is that the weight of
evidence points in this direction. I

ish troops at the Somme, Italian
troops along the Isonzo and Russian
troops in Galicia had developed a
concentric and, in a measure, a CO.
ordinated offensive, the Germans had
been compelled to accept the defens-
i've, and on all fronts they had lost
ground, prisoners and advantages,
which were not to be concealed or
counterbalanced by the successful
offensive made against Rumania just
as the campaign closed, an offensive
which was actually successful be-
cause Rumania was sold out by the
Russian ruling faction, betrayed, and
thus abandoned' to destruction.
Germany had found herself hard
pressed all through the latter half Of
1916, and her enemies might reason
ably have expected at this time last
year that with the renewal of a con-
centric attack in 1917 Germany would
be forced to shorten her lines East
and West, or court the disaster which
came to Lee when he endeavored to
hold a front too extended for ais
numbers in the last days of the Con-
federacy.
The concentric attack was reslim-
ed, but after a preliminary round Of
Allied successes, French and British,
on the West front, Italian on the
Tsonzo, and Russian in GaIicia, Rus
STA suddenly collapsed, and from that
moment onward rapidly disappeared
as a factor in the situation. With
the disappearance of Russia the AL
lies lost their advantage in numbers.
