The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1918-04-22
The Day of Reckoning.

Twice within the month ending today the power that
assas mankind has struck with all the might of its col
ected refreshed and repenshed armies 1t struck first
against France and failed Then it struck against Great
Britain and again it has failed. The German armies
the western 'front.' reinforced by German armies from
the Russian front and by many German and Austrian
compact mass drilled for many weeks for the special
work before them, thoroughly supplied with all magin-
able equipment and artillery, and then hurried with
iacal fury against the armies Of France and England
And Thors hammer broke against the anvil of freedom
The Germans will continue the assaut-they cannot
and dare not quit But their hammer strokes hereafter
must be comparatively feeble If it had been ordained
that freedom in this world to be overhrown the
date of It's downfall would have been between March 20
and April 90 1918. II then that the mightest mil
ary force massed in the history of the world
concentrated and used against the defenders of liberty
Nothing that absoIums could dictate or science supply
wanting in the assaulng forces They represented
the maximum driving and hammerng power of the chief
military nation earth The allied armies having with
stood and repused these attacks have proved themselves
ndestructibe. Freedom is unconquerable
The battle has reached the stage where the enemy
is checked looking about for chances break through
and hurryng up fresh reserves The allies having stop
ped the Onrush strengthening their lines they stand
shifting here and there preparatory to meeting another
attack They also bringing up reserves including
large Italian force But the army of the allies
not yet employed 1t is kept in the background by Gen.
Foch waiting the opportune moment when it can strike
a mortal blow
Germany it said is bringing from the Rus
sian front Very we'll The allies getting from
America Now that the contest has come down to the
point where the antagonists bring up new forces the
allies afford to be well pleased They have bigger
reservoir of better men than Germany can command.
If Germany brings in 100000 100000 America will
offset them with 100000 or 100000. The longer
Germany protracs the endeavor to outnumber the allies
the greater she will be outnumbered from now on If
she could not beat allies with her western and Russian ar
mics, while the American force Contemplate" what
she do when the American army has reached the size
of other armies in Europe? AS for munitions of all
kinds the allies better supplied than their adversary
and the domain of the air under the mastery of the
allies.
Germany fight on. Despite his knowledge that his
armies have already done their best and failed and that
further assaults the useless slaughter Of his people,
Hohenzoern will continue the battle He has other
choice. His against the world begun in false
hood, false assumption, and has been maintained
by fasehoods and false gains bazoned before the Ger
to conceal real losses From start to finish Hohen-
zoern's war has been lie. The German people have
ter has filled them full Now he does not dare to let them
know the truth He does not dare to tell them that Ger
many antagonists stronger than ever and forced
by Hohenzoerns arocious policy to decree that the war
afraid to tell the Germans what he has
done to of their sons whom he has butchered
blinded manned and sent to captivity He has nothing
show for these saughters except territory which
he holds temporarily and which he deliver up when
he hands his sword to his conquerors Not foot
Of Russia Siberia or Roumana or Belgium is German
will remain German. It goes back to the owners along
with other stolen goods which civilization viii recover
from the spoler on the day of reckoning
1t is against this approaching day of reckoning that
the imperial manslayer Hohenzollem storms and srug-
yes He delay it for an hour nor can he flee from
