PROBABLE DURATION OF WAR
Lord Beresford Predicts Long Fight
in His Speech Last Nigh:

Stafford, England, via London, OCT
27-The serious time of the war, said
Lord Charles Beresford in a speech
here last night, would begin when the
Germans were forced over the frontier
and were in their own country, anq
with their own base of supplies.
This was not going to be short
war. Lord Charles added.
It would take. more than six months
or a year to put Emperor William on
his back, he said-y -ys>
Nobody knew what would happen IN
the next great naval battle in which
modern instruments Of warfare were
used, Lord Charles continued.
He said the elements Of luck would
come into play; but luck or no luck
Germany must be humbled and hum
Hated.
"She must lose whole Of her
fleet" Lord Charles concluded" She
must give up the Kiel canal and her
colonies: her forts must be demoish-
ed. and the Krupp works RACED to the
ground"
Washington, Oct 27-That the Euro
mean war will be waged for at least
eighteen months, and that all Europe
expects the conflict will not be ter
minated until three years have elaps-
ed, was the statement made last night
by Jerome K. Jerome. English author
and playwriter who arrived in Wash
irgton yesterday from London.
Though I know the whole Ameri-
can nation as we'll as all the worlc
is looking hopefully for the frs
elimmer of peace" said Mr.. jerome
"I cannot but repeat the prediction
of military experts that the duration
of this war will be eighteen months al
the minimum and three years at the
maximum.
stThe conflict has resolved itself
into one of resources--of men ant
money, and men will be most impor'
+ant for it has been shown that ma
tions do, in some mysterious way
procure money with which to wage
war;"

there isn't the slightest doubt in the

Bob Fitzsimmons, perhaps the
greatest fighter known to Queens
berry rules, has taken the come
back question into the courts. When
IL was announced by 'the Atlantic
Garden Athletic Club of New York
City that Bob, now fifty-two years og
age. had been matched to box Soldier
Kearns for ten rounds the boxing
commission of the state passed an
order that the match should not take
place. The basis of the order was
that Fitzsimmons was too old to
fight: that contest with such a rug
ged individual as the soldier might
do him great harm. Back of this was
the fear that hard blow by Kearns
might kill him. Then the law cre-
ating the boxing commission and
permitting ten round fights in New
York state would likely be repealed.
Fitz got a lawyer to go into court
against the commission, and the ques-
ton was before Supreme Court Justice

length of term Of duty OF army Off
GERS, line and staff. in Hawaii here
after shall be four years instead OF
three, as has been the custom The
term of duty In the Philippines and
the Philippines and the Panama Ca
nal zone will remain three years.
In previous years. when the sani-
tary conditions in the Philippines were
not so bad as represented, the term OF
duty for staff officers was two and
half years and for line officers two
years, and later this was extended t1
three years for both classes Of Off
GERS.
The increase of duty by one year
for officers in Hawaii is based on the
fact that the climatic conditions there
justify the same length of service as
in the United States.
