Washington, August 14.-A new
era for the United States, almost a
new destiny, seems to be the certain
result of the European war Unless
something unforeseen halts the
struggle it is bound to continue to
the bitter end. There is no promise
that the conflict will be. a short one.
On the. one side Germany and on the
other England, and neither nation
will accept defeat until impoverished
of men and money. It would not
surprise military men of Washing

for years.
"A war to the death means the
death of millions of subjects of the
European powers. The effect upon
the United States would be most pro-

Of our nation would be changed
