definite delay out of which Ber lin hopes might grow a compro mise peace Speculation at this juncture re garding the immediate future of the attack should be cautious since the security news blackout imposed by the allied high command leaves us without sufficient facts upon which to base a studied judgement Taking a longer range view however we can say that allied superiority in manpower and materiel insures our victory There-- " fore while it would be folly to regard the situation lightly there certainly is no occasion for devel opment "nerves" We have plenty of precedent to show how far
