be more important than leaving. Aft

There was a drizzIing rain today,

Hungry women and children and

greedily slashinE up the carcasses of
dead horses or eating raw vegetables.
On the outskirts of Ath there were
several burial parties for brave Eng

guns planted in the city square until
after midnight. The British fought

the populace was so enraged that ci-
villains encircled the Germans and
wanted to tear them to pieces.
There were similar scenes at Mons.
where the Canadians got a joyous
welcome.
A British brigade which had distin-
guished itself at Cambria was being
reviewed when a general officer an

CzERN|N SAW DEFEAT
WHEN U.S.. ENTERED WAR
Ludendorff Kept Austria in War
Foreign Minister Declares; Pre-
dict Fall Of Emperor.

Vienna, Dec 11.--Austria' desperate
efforts in 1917 to withdraw from the war
were described Tuesday by Count Czern-
in, former Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister. Gen. Ludendorff was the great
stumbling block, and Austria feared, in
undertaking separate peace with the
Entente that Germany would declare
war on her.
Il never thought 1t possible to beat
the Entente, particularly after America
entered the war" said Count Czernin.
There were two ways TO arrange peace.
One was separate, peace with the
Entente, the other general peace TO-
gether with Germany
GERMANY had WHIP HAND.
"A separate peace would have meant
war with Germany since thereby VIC,
because of our geographical position.
would have cut off from Germany her
Turco-Bulgarian allies, and it would have
been impossible for Germany, with her
allies interests in Turkey and Bulgaria,
10 allow us to pull out of the war. /
have proof that Germany at once would
have made war on us.
Consider that two months ago, when
she was beaten, with revolution IN her
own country, she WAS then strong enough
to send troops to defend Bavaria, when
Andrassy, the last imperial foreign minis
ter, offered President Wilson n separate
peace What would Germany have been
able TO do six months before, when she
was almost victorious IN France?
Consider what war with Germany
meant for us-First, civil war, because
Of our 10000,00o German population.
