Ce2gn OF uthessnesS and barbary through submarine
warfare or that she could would destroy than two
million five hundred thousands tons of shipping in less than
fifteen months time?
We fight against bondage Did we ever imagine that
Germany could and would destroy churches cathedras and

injustice.
g. Prove wrong the view of the so-caed "conscien-
