Prince RadziweI was present. This

The Kaiser began by requesting the
Emperor Immediately to send twenty
five divisions (attack troops) to the

that this was impossible, that his

It would merely be sending troops

Offensive Impossible.

During the visit the question OF the
Italian offensive also was brought
UP. and the Emperor told the Kaiser
that such an offensive was quite i'm
possible. He is reported to have said,
"AU that can be required OF the Aus
triana is 20 hold their fronts and
await events"
BY careful diplomacy, President
Wilson is trying to flank Germany in
that field even as Foch is thanking
the armies OF Ludendorn on the field
of battle.
Already Bulgaria has been crushed,
Turkey Is lettering, and Austria can
not hold on much longer.
Eventually Germany must be iso-
lated in both fields OF diplomacy and
battle. That is what the President is
driving at in his present maneuvers-
and in the end sees the hope OF ef
fectually destroying the germ OF
militarism.
Hence, peace with Germany Is not
so near as il appears. It's a long road
TO the end the President SEEKS. But
it can be FASTENED, officials declare,
by speeding up all war work.
