ner Neueste Naehrichtsn Of July 9.
Major Endres admits that 100000 men
fr, m the United States have reached
France in spite OF the German sub
marines and some more hundreds Of
thousands can be brought over In the
next few months"
Upon this he argues that American
help cannot really reverse the mill
tAry situation. but can merely delay
the German victory.
The following passage shows how
eagerly even intelligent German
writer's are exploiting the popular
fiction that America does not intend
that Germany shall be thoroughly
beaten and that both the United
States and japan can be trusted to
play false:
america is becoming more and
more a decisive military factor in
the war. but even from a purely mill
tary point Of view Americas policy
cannot desire that England shall win
the war outright Americas interest
lies in compromise, so I regard Will

UNKNOWN LAKES AND RIVERS

Chains of lakes hitherto unmapped

The journey covered about $50 miles
over a route never before travelled by
white men and was made more difficult
by the fact that the five Indians who
were taken along as guides proved to
be unfamiliar with the country.
The party included E. B. G. Todd,
