Suppose the Germans don't sign

u change of mood?
The armisticc automatically will
terminate and Germany will he sub
ject to occupation. This will involve
few practical difficulties. and tho
wisdom Of probationary provisions
~ tn" armistice terms will quickly
appear.
vhe German army has hecn demo-
bilized-except for n small force.
The German submarines are in ally
Possession; and the German airfleet
and the effective artillery establish,
ment. The German commissary is
nor supply troops, Germany has
enough rolling stock on her rail-
roads to suppl civilian ne'Is. bua
not as to motor cars and tractors.
The advance into Germany would
not he war, but a parade. The Ter
man leaders know this as well as 9TH
ers and do not pretend to hold out
a hope OF even resistance. As for
joining hands with the bolsheviki, as
Is family threatened--this is impos- /
sible. Poland interposes bar to
