TWO CREAT OPPORTUNITIES

TWO GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
Germany will retain control of Austria and obtain
control 81 Russia only if the allied powers consent to that
action They can put Germany out of Austria and keep
her out Of Russia if they wish to do and will act as wei
as wish
The allies cannot accomplish this aesideratum by
their military force for two reasons They have not su
Gent military force and what they have be put
across the path of Germany in either Austria Rus
STA. The allies must use another lever, powerful
than military force to thrust Germany out of the two
adjourning regions They must their intelligence ap
plying it to the materials at hand
In order to accomplish results there must be
sweeping away of lot Of rubbish in the minds of alleC
leaders, and the planting of at least few essential facts
The allies must discard the notion that anything can b.
accomplished through political parties in Russia They
are all worthless for the purpose, whether they

ponents over night The only dependable thing in Rus
STA is the Russian people, dthe most dependable thing
about them is their spirit of liberty an dequalty On
that rock republic can be founded capable of gaining
and maintanings its freedom and independence ag
ainst any attack by the Germans.
The Russian people do not have any means Of com
muncatng with the allies If the allies wait to hear from
representative body capable of expressing the authen
tic will of Russia they will never act, because Germany
wil-not permit the Russians to organize such body
Any number Of fraudulent organizations from the boil
be permitted by Germany to send out poisoned
concerning Russia 1t is their duty to act precisely
though they had received formal request from the Rus
sian people to assist in extrcating them from Germany
power.
lot of nonsense is uttered to the effect that if any
military contingent should go into Russia on friendly
mission it would meet with ramed opposition from the
people, who would rise masse to defend their so But
it must be remembered that Russia is only another
for chaos Are the Russians rising en- masse against the
Germans? The Russians universally aware that
they have been betrayed and robbed by enemies who
have killed 100000 Russian soldiers but there is no
method by which the Russians unaded can rise and
the Germans out In country where every village has
laid away its dead in bitter struggles over land and where
the poor peasants under instruction to attack and
kill rich peasants and take their food is not to be sup
posed that the people capable of organizing to resist
invasion.
Germany is employing intelligence in dealing with
the Russian situation. There practically no Germany
army in Russia. German control is intellectual The al
lies are permitting Germany increase its operations and
asen Its grip upon all Russia without any expenditure Of
powder There is sufficient intelligence in the allied gov
ernments if it concentrated and applied to Offset
Germanys influence in great measure and pave the wav tn
native organization an darmed resistance
The situation in Austria also calls for the intelligence
of the allies Threefths of the country antGerman
Why are not the allies utilizing this volcanic force? Why
do they permit small minority of Teutons and Magyars
to dominate the other races harness them in German
uniforms, and send them to kill off the allies? The Aus
rian coast is protected by feeble and mutnyriddled
fleet OF 30 semiobsoete vessels behind mines The allies
nave at least ten times much naval strength in the
Adratlc single stroke, such as that which knocked
Zeebrugge out of business, would annihlate Pola and
the Austrian feet and open the entire coast of Austria to
the allies. From this vantage ground they could com.
muncate freely with the oppressed races behind the lines
and furnish supplies for the revoutionist throughout
Croatia, CArinhia Dalmatia Istria Bosa Herzegovina
Serbia, Bohemia and Hungary Germany would be com.
PEELED to send 100000 100000 men to hold commun
icatons and combat the revolution The Austrian army
would have urgent business at home than il has on
the Italian front
But the relief of the submerged peoples of Austria
and Russia requires daring initiative and intelligent con
certed action the part of the allied powers And thus
far they have not organized political war council
