Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stead's Review, Vol. 48: December 22nd, 1917
During the last two weeks realisation of the true situation in Europe has been brought home to the man in the street as never before. More prominent people have been speaking with brutal frankness recently than at any time since the war began. That at any rate is a good sign but even yet there is far too much mystery. Far too much indefiniteness Concerning Rus sia, the Italian position and the state of affairs on the west front still exists and above 'all the shippih'gi'situation is lamen tably obscure. The more we' examine the matter the more it would appear that suc cess for the Allies depends upon} being able to defeat the submarine, either by destroy ing underwater craft or-bly building more ships than the U-boats sink. The fact is not at'all (llfficult of demonstration. The defection of Russia? Makes it necessary for thej'?tln'ited States to, do more, to send larger. Forces to Europe than was at first anticipated. Once an. American army half-a-million strong was.regarded as 'all that would be necessary, now we must get reinforcements in the, west and in Italy to counter the vast senemy armies which the armistice from, the Baltic to the Black Sea has released.
