Germany engineered it. How Eng

and how a significant remark of
Ambassador Gerard enabled the Eng

bottle it up before the actual decla-
ration Of war.
Scenes in German prison camps are
Hhown-with all their horror. Re
peated insults to America are de-
picted with absolute fidelity to fact.

opportunity given for rejoicing as
