Allies Strive to Break Teutonic Hold and End Autocracy
The author argues that Allied forces under Marshal Foch must divide German strength to crush the Kaiser and end autocracy. Russia, Finland, and Czecho-Slovaks join the cause for freedom and law, while German prestige collapses and Bolshevik threats deepen. A Finnish division in America is proposed to aid the northern Russian campaign. The piece forecasts stiff German defenses but predicts ultimate Allied victory and recovery of initiative.
