If Germany Nins-Wc Pay.

II Is quite certain that her enemies

Our entrance into the situation IS
the one element which ultimately
guarantees the kaisers defeat. The
imperial government is therefore in

odds In favor of thrashing an oppon-
ent, who is suddenly pulled away by
an onlOoker and held while the other
fellow proceeds to turn the tables and
pummel him into submission.
Therefore, 1t is logical that Ger
many should hate us with an insane
ferocity that augurs no mercy In the
unlikely, but possible event of her
victory. This possibility Will become
a probability in proportion to the i'm
mediacy of our preparation to fult1ll
the responsibility we've assumed. AS
