when asked his opinion about the armistice terms which should be offered to germany, haig presented pessimistic advice to the war cabinet on 19 october. he urged moderation, warning that intelligence reports suggested that the german army was still "far from beaten" (an ironic claim in view of his willingness to pronounce germany on the verge of defeat in previous years) and was concerned that the germans were holding back the 1920 class of conscripts to form a new reserve. he warned that the french and americans “are not capable of making a serious offensive now. the british alone might bring the enemy to his knees. but why expend more british lives – and for what?” (herbert lawrence had also advised haig it was in britain’s interests for the war to end on lenient terms) and that prolonged fighting would increase the influence of the usa, and that harsh terms might encourage germany to turn either to bolshevism or else back to military rule. he advised that the allies should simply demand that germany give up belgium and alsace-lorraine. after one meeting on 21 october haig suspected henry wilson, a staunch unionist, of wanting to prolong the war as an excuse to subdue southern ireland by bringing in conscription there.
