can in time break through the Siegfried line of German fortificat ons American sentiment will say it would be a grand act and tach some people that it pays to respect their treaties But if they simpl there is no use throwing away a million lives and then discover that they have bitten off more than they can chew If they can get a settlement on almost any basis that will stick it woul I prob pay
