This, I conceive, is the really great danger that yet awaits the world--if the Allies hold together till defeat and famine drive the Germans to the utmost desperation.
In the meantime, the Allies still holding together as they are, there's no peace yet in the British and French minds.

They're after the militarism of Prussia--not territory or other gains; and they seem likely to get it, as much by the blockade as by victories on land.

Do you remember how in the Franco-Prussian War, Bismarck refused to deal with the French Emperor?
He demanded that representatives of the French people should deal with him.

He got what he asked for and that was the last of the French Emperor.
Neither the French nor the English have forgotten that.

You will recall that the Germans starved Paris into submission.
