There was not a military observer in Europe who did
not expect heavy operations before Christmas.
The blow must be struck before America could make
even a fair beginning at getting an army into Europe, and,
more important still, before the presence of large numbers
of Americans could stiffen the morale of the l rencli. whom
the Germans believed to be in a bad way physically and
morally because of their cruel losses. , , .
But Christmas came and went. New tears passed.
January was slipping away. And still no drive. Weather
conditions prevented it, some said. loo much snow, 'l>n
much mud,” etc. Doubtless there were plenty of both But
thev were not what delayed the <11 i\ c.
Why the Drive
Wasn’t Driven .
Back of these delays stand two reasons reasons ns lug
as mountains in importance to the allies cause and in men-
ace to the kaiser's. 'These reasons are:
One: The unexpected attitude of Mr. Ecninc of lutssia.
Two: The unexpected attitude of the Hungarian troops
when the news was broken to them that they were to
leave the fierv west. .
When the armistice was arr 'ged with Russia the Aus-
trian and Hungarian troops tho. their job ended. In-
deed, it appears that the whole eastern front thought tin-
war was over, or practically over, when Russia declared
f,,r a separate peace. It is not surprising that the invita-
tion to step out of the safety zone and be killed had m it
some of the elements of shock.
The Hungarians protested at first in whispers to one
another. Then some of the holder ones began to talk out
l’resentlv the protests became almost a roar, in which
the folks at home joined.
The newspapers of Hungary almost unanimously ex-
pressed sympathy with the troops and condemned the plan
of taking them to the west. .
Hungary's job was in the east. Hie had finished it.
She had no’business in the west, they declared.
Here was the seed of revolution. It was the seed of
the onlv kind of revolution that can ever be successful m
the central empires—a revolt in the army. 1 his kai-er was
counseled to go slow.
At the same time Mr. Ecninc an
WRITES VICTOR MORGAN:
The war can end in one of two ways—a military^ de-
cision in the west, or a revolution in the central empire.).
The Utter is the leading hope of the entente allies.
But a revolution is a difficult thing to bring about
when a people thinks it is winning a war. And THE
