When the Germans deckled In re-
sume their rutltb s submarine cam-
paign, they took a ,erep that brought
the United State;+ into the war. The
war lords believed that the U-boats
would bring the Alli".+ to. their knees
before Uncle Sam could give them
atter aid, so the Kaiser risked this
powerful addition to his eueiuies.
The submarines dict not accomplish

The Germans, having used pacifist
propaganda to weaken the morale of
the Italian troops, launrlted a great
offensive, and are now invading
Italy. In other finds lite Allies
have made important gains. The
British now occupy Bagdad and
Jerusalem, thus dominating Meso-
