Encmy's Frontier Yet Increased

EVERY enemy Of Germany on every CONT
Il nent, has glored in the monumental
achievements Of the gallant army under Mar
shall Foch. They have watched that army
drive back, step by step, a powerful and
desperate foe, and they have rejoiced in the
reclamation of hundreds of square miles OF
Frerch and Belgian territory. famous cities
ana points OF enormous strategic advantage.
Splendid as these victories have been and
successful as this fighting has been, the big
act remains that German territory has not
yet been invaded
In other words, tho war is still on allied
soil The great battle fields lie in France
and Belgium. Neither Germany nor Aus
trie now knows the real meaning of war
rs it has been brought home to those coun-
tries which have felt the iron of conflict
driven into their very hearts. and this war
ought not to end until both Germany and
Austria have felt measure of the suffering
and loss which they have visited upon their
enemies.
II is not meant by this that an invasion
should be executed for the sole purpose OF
burning German cities. rendering homeless
German women and children and devastating
German provinces but unless Germany Is in

incidentally, there are good many hun

France and Belgium who will protest against

formed American in Europe to-day who does
not dream OF the day when he will march
through the streets OF Berlin He does not
imagine himself applying the torch to the Ger
man capital or turning high explosives into
'hat city, but he wants to tread the Wilhelm
strasse as victor and wants all Germany
to know that it has been conquered. and
what is true of the Americans is true of the
British and French.
