In the end, that In, If the fight. Is

America s war preparations may have
no Influence on the course of the
great struggle, for tho reason that
liefore the Americans Intervene In the
fight the peoples of Kurape will al

elusion of peace," It Is luirdly neces

to the German people against the
folly of underestimating the value of
America's pionpwtlve nsnlntanee on

During the first year of the war.
after seeing many Gormen prisoners'
on tho Western front and talking to
some or them, I came lo Hie conclu

until we convinced tho German peo

today, but In addition li Umt, we must
