IF HUN REJECTS PEACE, WAR WILL
BE CARRIED TO BERLIN And FOE
WILL BECRUSHED FROM WITHIN

l. The Yanks are all set to carry the
war through 2Alsnco and Lorraine and
seize the iron fields on which Ger.
,many depends for munitions OF war.
They have practically II. apart the
! German armies on the western front
! and made their Withdrawal to the
! Rhine a precar.Ous task, which my

! losses than any yet experienced by
| the HUN. :, I ~

800 miles to Berlin.
Ravarian Border War.
On the western borders, whence at
tacks will be launched through Ba-
varia-whether the tustrians wish ii
or not---the Alps furnish ,:le, only bar

Seasoned, in mountain fighting, may

pour through the mountain passes in
to Germany. g.
For 20 years the relations between
Germany and Austria have been such
that Notifications here have been I'M
necessary. The distance across Aus
tria for the allies IS but 60 miles.
Bavaria does not welcome the pros
pect and is but one OF the German
states from which rumOrs Of a separ-
ate peace, a peace which would hasten
the breaking up Of the German, have
come. 81
Berlin is but 100 miles from the
border Of Saxony and Austria. 4
The army of Poland is being made
ready for invasion from The east and
the forces OF Czecho-Sloyaks are
ready to advance.
The iron ring is an accomplished
fact and the choking of German mat
ter of a few months at the most.
The buffer states, on the further
borders Of which the armies of tho
central powers have stood, leaving
no longer offer their protection. !
Rumania may again take the fleld
and the release of Italian forces
which have been battling Austria and
the new armies which may be added
to the strength Of the entente should
give an army of 100000 men to turn
loose upon Germany's eastern from
tier.
The Black Sea is now open for the
movement of allied forces in the east.
Over the Adriatic forces can be land
ed at ports held by Austria, now
available for debarkation Of troops to
bemoved over the railroads OF AUS
tria.
True the allies have to break down
the system of fertilization about Metz
and Devond along the Rhine. Ee-
tween Germany and the new nations
which will attack her from the east
there arc fortified lines and Berlin
itself is surrounded by protective
belt of fortresses ABOUT 60 miles out
side the city But long ago in tins
war it was proven that the strongest
Qualifications are not invincible to the
mobile big guns which have been in
vented and America has guns more
powerful than any yet demonstrated.
Eight, ten and Pinch guns are
being turned OUT in France by Amerl- J
can gun makers. There are 1000 or
them at work on these giant instru-
melts of destruction and they are
mounted on railroad trucks which
make their movement fro mtront TO
front a simple matter. Their COM
manders are supreme when 1t comes
to transportation. !
Air Power Greatest.
And over all and above all Is the
power Of the allies in the air, with
planes, in legions and explosives OIL
tremendous force which, while the
HUN armies are being forced back
step by step will carry over their
heads to munition centers, railroad
centers, industrial cities and to the
