only on the ground that the German
rulers or the people. or both, have lost

the threat as Joke which met with
instantaneous and universal success
References to the probable action OF
the United States In the matter are nu-
merous. The Daily Maj discerns in
newspaper comments in America, where.

The Daily Chronicle, referring to the
German complaint that the British were
trying 10 starve out Germany asks
do the Germans argue that Lincoln
