The moment this new condition is established the armies now operating in Macedonia will push through Bulgaria Bul-garia to Rumania and assist the Ru- j manians to reorganize and fight off their-German oppressors. Then the allies al-lies will be on the border of Russia, there to assist the enslaved Slavs! Turning to the north and west, they can outflank Hungarian forces along the Danube across from Serbia.

Austro-Hungary will be made harm-ess harm-ess this winter through internal uprising. up-rising. Then, as the great allied forces close In on Germany from all sides, the Kaiser will begin to think he has de- scended to the depths of an Inferno. Tho last days of the war will be a time of horror for the German people. |
