new ROAD INTO
GERMANY NOW
BEING OPENED

LONDON. Nov I british Ad-
miralty wircless) The effect OF
tho Austrian break upon the war
will be Immense. Said the London
Daily News today.
II is obvious that the allies
would consent 20 no armistice
which did not provide. as In the
cas-. OF Bulgaria. for unhindered
passage OF their troops and the
prosecution on Austrian soil OF war
against Germany.
Even NJ Austria were disposed TO
refuss that demand. she would be
powcriess TO resist H.
Her constituent peoples are In
revolt against her and tho Czecho-
slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs have
been recognized by the entente as
allied bclligerents.
That is enough In itself TO Sc
cure the allies an entrance to and
rasearc thru what has hitherto
been enemy territory. The i'm
pos ,nncv OF that is not Its effect
upon Austria but It's effect on Ger
many.
IL means that her back door is
forced. Bohemia. now passing rap
idly into the hands OF the czecho-
Slovaks. adJoins Prussia. Saxony
and Bavaria and the eastern from
tiers OF pone Of these states Is or
ganized for defense.
without moving a man from the
West front. the allies could draw
from their southern and eastern
fronts a force more than sufficient
to drive a way into Saxony or Ba-
varia-and that without taking into
account the support the new inde-
pendent Slav races might render.
Against that fatal encirclement Ger
many cannot struggle.
