That hit the bull's-eye with perfect accuracy; and it has been accepted here as _the_ war aim and _the_ war condition.
So far as I can make out it is working in Germany toward peace with more effect than any other deliverance made by anybody.
And it steadied the already unshakable resolution here amazingly. I can get any information here of course without danger of the slightest publicity--an important point, because even the mention of peace now is dangerous.
All the world, under this long strain, is more or less off the normal, and all my work--even routine work--is done with the profoundest secrecy: it has to be. Our energetic war preparations call forth universal admiration and gratitude here on all sides and nerve up the British and hearten them more than I know how to explain.
There is an eager and even pathetic curiosity to hear all the details, to hear, in fact, anything about the United States; and what the British do not know about the United States would fill the British Museum.
