The'officers added : We hava a million men to-day, and will . double our strength in six months' time. The Hungarians will soon join us, for Hungary ig ripe for proletarian revolution. Then the Red Flag will be carried To Austria. As soon as we cross the German frontier, the greater part of Gerlnnny, and certainly Prussia, will rally to the. Bolsheviks in order to escape crushing peace terms. We will then have millions of trained German roldiers at our disposal, and there will I>e no difficulty in organising an army ot five millions, with which to overwhelm Western-Europe.
