A Historians View.

Chicago, May 15.-Dr. Hermann von
Hoist, the we'll known historian. speak
ing to his class in United States history
at the University OF Chicago, said in
part:
"The present American-Spanlsh war
is the greatest misfortune which has
come to this nation since it's foundation :.
The conflict OF arms was totally uncalled
for and was brought about by The highly
sensational press OF this country. The
conflict which is so unequal that it ap-
pears farcical will result, OF course, in
final victory for the United States. The
effects upon US as nation both at home
and abroad will be far reaching and
dangerous. The same power which
drove this people to war will succeed IN
forcing this government to annex the
island OF Cuba. This, in my opinion,
will be the outcome OF the present agita
ton, although congress expressly stipu.
lated in it's declaration OF war that the
intention was not to seize territory. The
growing feeling IN favor Of extension
and land-grabbing threatens even to
compel US to annex the remote Philip
nine islands and the thrice refused
Hawaiian group. The result of such q
policy cannot but be disasterous to US as
q nation. Such is the power OF the press
Of today that public opinion is largely
moulded by it. The tendency today is
toward the annexation of the territories
mentioned, and I do not see any hope OF
escapino it,"
