day. An army of four millior
men in the field is planned fol
next summer. 1t will be a force
able to move through Germany
at will and able to defeat the
kaiser's armies even if forced
to fight alone.
The intensity of the Ameri-
can preparations gives hope
that the war may be ended
during 1919. BY the time the
fighting season opens next
spring the United States and
allies will be so we'll prepared
that it should not take them
long to break the German mi
litary backbone. If so peace
by the end of 1919 may be rea-
lized. However, it is all guess
work now. The allies may adj
minister a decisive defeat to
the kaiser and yet be forced to
keep in the field for many
before a full and COM
plete victory is accomplished.
The dawn of peace is more |
likely to be delayed than has
tened but it is coming and our
four million will see to it that |
t is a victorious peace for free
lom and democracy.
