"Friday night" "From Lloyd George one gathers there is not to be conscription for the army, but only industrial compulsion. Lloyd George's speeches have at least the merit that they admit there is good in the Germans. Salandra's speech in this morning's paper interested me. His quip about Italy having had twenty centuries more of civilization than the Germans is not likely to make the Germans love him. I feel convinced America will be forced in—I have thought so ever since the sinking of the Lusitania. The Germans seem mad with pride, like Napoleon. The more success they have now, the more they will be defeated in the end. But all the rest of us will be almost equally defeated."
