They boasted that this action on their
part had saved the American mission,
as otherwise the Germans would have
been in Kursk before the Americans

rifle bombardment of two hours dura-

After all, the test Of whether 1t is
possible for either government to go

is simple and obvious. The principles
to be applied are these:
First. That each part OF the final

and upon such adjustments as are most
likely TO brlng a peace that viii be
permanent;
Second. That peoples and provinces

such a peace can be secured we have
no choice but 10 go on. So far as we
