Had he succeeded, it would, at least in no far as Kurope is concerned, have ended the war, with Germany dicta torially triumphant. The author, having secured the best dramatic data obtainable from high nllicials in the Secret Service of the Allied -Nations and anticipating the tierman offensive, wrote his play ac cordingly. It will easily be recognized that should the plan of "noelke," as set forth in "Three Faces Kast," have suc ceeded, it would have been a blow to the English such as the combined loss of the Kaiser, Von Hindcnburg, Von Mackenscn nnd I.udendoiff would be in the (ierman Kmpire, and in conse quence, the success of Von Hinden burg's drive would have been practi cally assured. History alone will bring home to us the grave peril of Humanitv and De mocracy when the day of March 21st, 1918, dawned which hour marked the beginning of the "Uattle of the World."
