Sending President Wilson's<br />

Message by<br />

Balloon<br />

The strongest blow at the<br />

morale of the German<br />

army that has been delivered<br />

since the battle of<br />

the Marne was the President's<br />

message of April<br />

second. This declaration,<br />

which makes certain the<br />

eventual defeat of the Entente<br />

Allies, was hailed<br />

with overwhelming enthusiasm<br />

in the French and<br />

British trenches. So important<br />

was it considered<br />

that it was translated into<br />

German immediately,<br />

thousands of copies were<br />

printed, and it was sent<br />

over the German lines by<br />

balloon and aeroplane to<br />

give the German privates<br />

themselves a chance to see<br />

"the writing on the wall."<br />
