The Fear of Invasion

IT is evident from every line Of information
that comes out of Germany that the people
Of that country are haunted by the possibility
of an invasion; that they shrink from this
as from death, and tho approach Of the allied
armies toward the German frontier has had
more to do with their acquiescencc in a pcace
of defeat than all the other influences COM
bined.
III the military party is TO rally the en-
pire for one more stand before agreeing TO
a armistice which skaters Germany's mill
tary strength, that party must give some
sort OF guarantee that enemy armies will not
put foot upon German soil; that the long
range guns Of the allies will not begin drop
ping high explosive shells into German cities
and that some means will be found OF de-
Tending interior communities from the Brit
isb, French and American air raids.
The only guarantee that can be given TO
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1918-10-31

this end is sterner resistance on the part
OF the German armies. If they stand upon
their present lines and continue to hold the
allies back until winter comes. there is
chance that German territory will not be
pressed by the invaders heel In the imme-
aiate future. But II Marshal Foch moves on,
day by day drawing nearer and nearer the
frontier, it seems certain that the German
nation will demand peace at whatever price
ana VIII find means OF enforcing that demand.
We'll may Germans tremble when they con-
template the possibility Of an enemy inya
sion. They know the wreck and ruin which
they inflicted upon French and Belgian cities
ana they Know how they applauded their
incendiary armies. They know the terror
they created when their airplanes began to
lombard London from the air, and they
know the destruction they sought to accom-
plish by their long-pange cannonading OF
Paris They feel that no mercy will be shown
them once the enemy descends upon their
towns and villages, and none will be shown
ueymany persists in defending those
cities.
