Allied military authorities consider
the time has now arrived for Germany
to give mp her military strcngth--that
she be brought 10 such a condition that
she cannot resist later the conditions OF
peace now being prepared.
The allied theory always has been
that we shall frame conditions which

The correspondent In Paris OF the

having said to the Supreme War Council
