The indications, however. are that the
German staff has not yet decided to
launch an attack, failure OF which would
irretrieveably compromise the recent sue
cesses In the east as we'll as those Of
the entire war. Instead. indications
are that Germany is likely to undertake
TO complete the conquest of the Balkans
through a Macedonian offensive and a
peace offensive.
The French front is protected by the
greatest defensive organization IN the
history of the world In the four months

play the role OF physician.
The opportunity to reach an under
standing with the Bolsheviki concerning
Siberia should be accepted whether or
not there Is any real danger to Russian
interests The chief concern OF all the
rescue OF Russian democracy from Ger
many's clutches. II America were to
show reluctance toward Russia's over
lures, II is highly probable the Russians
would turn to the Germans for assist
ance.
The previous diplomatic blunders
committed during the war, serious as
they have been, would be insignificant
compared to this catastrophe. The
diplomacy exercised at Washington is
rapidly assuming world leadership. be-
cratic ideals and impersonal justice.
The belief of the Russians that Germany
understands the Bolsheviki better than
do the Allies must be reversed by the
United States II II Is to be reversed at
all.
The chance to do this is now pre-
sented. Russia must not be allowed to
become indebted to Germany for free
dom from possible menace in Siberia.
The high mission of the United States
in the war is 10 serve the cause of
democracy exclusively. America alone

is II becoming apparent that America
alone can rescue Russian democracy at

Government agrees with the Allied War
