Third Army Readiness to Invade Germany If Treaty Rejected
London May 11 The American forces along the Rhine stand ready to advance at a moment's notice should Marshal Foch order a further invasion of Germany. German notes to Clemenceau are viewed as a formal response rather than a rejection. Berlin faces two paths: reject the treaty and resist or resign the cabinet to allow a socialist government to sign. Paris reports Brockdorff-Rantzau plans to bring the full treaty to the German National Assembly in Berlin. The U S and allies may soon recognize the Omsk regime, weakening Bolshevik prospects as extremists seek Soviet alliance and Kolchak's fate looms.
