Now he's "got 'em." But nobody here doubts that they will say, sooner or later, that the United States, not having forced the breaking of the British blockade, has not kept its bargain--that's what they'll say--and it is in order again to run amuck.

This is what the English think--provided the Germans have enough submarines left to keep up real damage.

By that time, too, it will be clear to the Germans that the President can't bring peace so long as only one side wishes peace.

The Germans seem to have counted much on the Irish uprising, which came to pass at all only because of the customary English stupid bungling; and the net result has been only to put the mass of the Irish on their mettle to show that they are not Sinn Feiners.

The final upshot will be to strengthen the British Army.
