the pressure is severely felt by
both sides, it does not appear
that either is ready to concede

looks as if many months OF hard

necessary. The Germans and
their allies are we'll intrenched

sinking ships and destroying the
food needed by the English and

struction may be lessened, it has
not been prevented. The allies
need to keep the seas open, and

We are in the war. and in for
