Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 19.-Hold
on to the. west front and the war is
won.
Therein is the whole story of my
Swiss impressions. don't mean peace
will follow in 48 hours of Hindenburg's
fiasco.
But certainly believe an allied
peace is possible this year. This con-
clusion is unhasty. 1t was reached by
process tantamount to mathematical
computation. From personal observa-
ton / know what the French punch
is like, and what British bull dogism
is, while from my study here I believe
I have gained a fair idea of what
Germany can do.
Austria To Help But Little.
From this view 1 don't believe the
Germans have the proverbial chance
in thousand, despite Hindenburgs
strategy and Ludendorffs tactics. Hin
denburg can expect little or no aid
from Austria.
to warrant sending Austrians, Czechs.
Hungarians. etc., to their slaughter on
the west front.
Prussians may brow beat them into
action against Italy simultaneously
with an offensive against France, but
this appears about all.
Czernfn said in December that as
Germany is fighting for Trieste, AUS
TRANS might fight on fronts other
than Austrian. Ludendorff has prac-
tically reorganized the German army,
which probably will comprise 200 d.
visions, about 100000 men, when the
offensive starts-if it starts. Despite
the arnistice agreement the cream Of
the divisions on the Russian front have
been drafted to the west front. The
older troops on the west front have
been replaced by storm troops. Aus
tria will aid with artillery and guns
captured in Italy and elsewhere
The Dying Effort.
The Germans are Boosting of hor-
rible new gas. They say it has already
been tried out, but If the information
I I have is true. the allies havs no need
to worry much Germarly is putting
up It's biggest bluff Dying of rot. she
is trying to scare the allies by making
faces. Doubtless she has one punch
gteft, after Wilhelm othing.
