statement concerning Japan's purpose
of maintaining the territorial integrity

German missionaries.

ference that Japan had no assurance
up to the present time that Its ulti-
matum had been delivered to Germany,
owing to the cable difficulties with that
country. In order to make certain OF
| its delivery, a copy of the ultimatum
will be sent to Berlin through the
channels of the American government.

received by American officials as one
of the gravest developments in the war

HOW LONG WILL, WAR LAsT7
Some interesting Figures on Big Euro
pean Conflicts of the Past.
(New York Evening WORLDLY


The two most recent central Euro
peon" wars were settled In an amaz-
ingly short time. In 1866 Prussia and
Austria went at each others threats
over the juicy Schleswig- Holstein bone
to which neither of them, by the
way, had any right. That war lasted
only seven weeks. and 1t ended in
Prussia giving Austria a terrible and
humiliating beating
France and Sardinia also gave Aus
tria crushing defeat in 1s59--in a war
in which the general fighting lasted
less than a month. This list does not
include Italys earlier and feebier
struggles for liberty against Austria,
as In 1S4s-49, etc.
In July, 1870, France and Prussia
went to war. The general fighting in
that war lasted barely a month. OF
course, the siege of Paris and other
maneuvers dragged on much longer,
but the actual clash in the field began
early in August and ended early in
September.
The Russo Turkish war, six years
afterward. was longer by a year or
more, but the Turco- Greek war in the
nineties was a matter of one swift
campaign. The Russo-Jap war was al
so comparatively brief.
In our own history here is, roughly,
the duration of the important wars:
Revolutionary war. eight years;
war of 1912, two years and eight
months: Mexican war, two years and
eleven weeks; civil war, four years;
Spanish war, seven and half months
with the bulk of the fighting done
in two and halO.
All but one of the foregoing We're
duels between two nations. The last
general European war was the Grim
can, when England, France, Turkey,
and Sardinia combined against Rus
STA, from 1854 to 1856 That war con-
tinued for about two years, and re-
suited in a sound thrashing for Rus
sia
Before that the Napoleonic wars In
termlttently brought every nation in
Europe to the battlefield These wars
continued, with breaks of long or short
duration, for more than twenty years.
and ended at Waterloo, when the Eng
fish, the Prussians,, the Dutch, and
other allies overthrow Napoleon. Rus
STA and England. by the way, were
Germany's stanchest friends then.
Nearly two centuries before that
German quarrel spread until it involv-
ed almost every nation on earth, and
is known to history as the go years
war"
So, with a few exceptions, we see
that the more modern the war the
shorter it is apt to be. especially when
only central Europe is involved. For
example Gin actual fighting): Austro-
Prussian war of 1866, seven weeks;
Franco-P russian war of 1870, a month;
the present war?
