GERMANS give UP TO
AVERT GREATEST BATTLE
Allies Planned to Deliver Super
stroke Against Huns on
November IL.

The greatest battle of history was TO
have started on November II, 1913.
That was the day set for super
stroke by the allies.
To save themselves a crushing de-
feat the Germans surrendered-sign
ing the armistice "a hours before the
dreaded blow was to fall.
This is the postwar revelation made
by Paris Excelsior, which says:
"While furious fighting was going on
in the north of France, the German
general staff was preoccupied with its
Alsace-Lorraine front. For more than
a month they feared surprise attack
in this quarter
Through the secret service the Ger
mans learned an important movement
was under preparation by the allies on
the Lorraine front. The concentration
Of masses of troops before Briey was
reported to them. They learned that
100000 men under command of Gen.
de Castelnau were being got ready to
leap forward and carry the war into
German soil.
'The allied units were of picked di.
visions, and the Germans were para
lyzed with fear. They were menaced
by 5000 cannons of all caliber along a
70kilOmeter front. The allies were
ready to sweep a path through the
German line with 300 tanks waiting for

They understood the aim of the allies
first to encircle Metz and then enter
Lorraine and finally invade Rhenish
Prussia.
THE German forces were disorgan-
lied, used up, played out.
"Then they learned November II was
the day set for the attack. They found
this out on November 6. The next day
they asked for an armistice-and got
it just in time to save their armies
from complete disaster"
