A Tas Press summary from Le Matin reports a 1917 discussion between a high French figure and the King of Spain. It outlines German aims to march on Petrograd and Odessa, with Crevecoeur’s treaty, plan to beat General Sarrall at Salonika, Austria moving to help Italy, and a predicted failure of the Central Powers. The King criticized British forethought and mobilization, noting three million men not deployed, while Italy’s strength and French actions were noted.
