There's doubt that the Germans believed they could
at least split allied opinion with their peace notes
So one of the most interesting developments is the
that instead of splitting allied opinion President Wilson's
masterful diplomacy has instead solidified opinion

at the head of powerful following that been doggedy
working for early peace says: President Wilson has
clarified our hopes" Lord Lansdowne, another British
leader who spoke out for when nearly every one
