Germany Has Six Months to Win Decision, Lord Dunmore Says
Lord Dunmore told Chicago today Germany has six months to obtain a decision. If they do not win in that time they are inevitably beaten.

We may expect continued fighting throughout the summer and Germany may make some gains, but I believe we shall prevent them from achieving their objectives.
