Germany, the master-criminal of the war, is really isolated. The definite “surrender of Austria-Hungary leaves her absolutely alone. Thos the toppling of the Middle- “European house of, cards, foreseen | when Bulgaria surrendered, is ac- complished sooner than anybody ex- pected. Bulgaria, formerly the link “in the Teutonic dream-empire reach- ing from the North Sea to the Per- sian Gulf, has become a positive as- set to the Allies. Turkey is elimi-| { nated. Austria-Hungary, torn apart by internal forces of disintegration, submits to her punishment and will! “Be grateful for any. crust the Allies} ‘may give her. By that act she turns her back ' definitely on Germany. The Allies will be able to penetrate her territory | as they have penetrated Bulgaria’s, _ and attack Germany on. her south- - ern front, if any such effort seems | “Yo be worth the trouble, It will be possible, indeed, to send troops into} Russia and drive toward Berlin from “the east. , \ Such an enterprise will hardly be ‘necessary... The knowledge that a ‘military éneirclement is possible will | suffice to bring Germany into ¢om- pliance with allied demands, no mat- ‘ter how severe they may be. __ The defection of Autria, her com- “plete surrender to the mastery of the allies, means but one thing to the great allied world—the ending of the war. This does not mean that “mean that war activities will cease “abruptly at home, but it does seal and stamp the ultimate and hopeless fate of the nation which alone still -defies the forces of democracy. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the battle still rages on the west- ern front, a vision looms up of a victorious army entering Berlin and “marching down the Unter den Lin- -den. A great general leads that army, the vanguard of which is made | up of standard bearers and leaders “whose names the great nations of} “the world shout in praise. There _comes the first detachment of troops,! ‘soldiers who have fought and bled! since the opening days of the world, | sand they are none other than the} -Belgians. Can you conjure a more) -glorious spectacle? And let us hope King Albert is at the head! ° a | When has there been such a cam-/ cpaign as this?

The generals, colonels, majors, | sergeants and corporals of those two, armies have’ ceaselessly pounded each| other with heavy artillery, machine’ guns, gas shells and rifle fire. They have strained every nerve to swell the enlistments in their ranks, to build fortifications and en- trench themselves. \ | Tonight a great peace rests above |thesearmies as they sleep upon their jarms in readiness for the bloodless jbattle of the ballots. | With the riing of the sun, these| armies will face each other at the| polls, armed with that greatest of all arms, the ballots of free men and women. — | When the sun goes down, the issue will have been determined.
