Our railroads are doing their best,
but are utterly unable to cope with the

circumstances they can carry not more
than onc-third of the coal we need. We

and spent his last DAYS in exile at st.
Helena
Even though the Kaiser should be
victorious on land, it would be short
iived, and the spoilS would have to be
returned and full PREPARATION made
Why? Simply because the United
states, Great Britain and Japan can
stu shut the Germans from the seas
with free access to the raw-material
resources of practically the whole
world tae allies can maintain an eco
monte blockade of Germany until the
German people will establish a people :,
