They are more and more impressed not only with the fact that the United States is in the war to win but the fact that the Allies with the help of the United States will surely win the war.
 "This is the message the Mexican editors are sending back to Mexico daily-that Germany is doomed. They fully appreciate the fact that the United States has not yet reach ed her maximum of productiveness either of men or materials and that the determination of this country to make the world safe for democracy is unshakable. And they realize that when the war is over the United States will have tremendous trained army.
