No Early Settlement.

1.-THE war will not be settled in a few
months, in my opinion. We must remem-
Der that this is not war between only
two nations, in which if one reaches
the capital of the other the moral effect
would be SO great as to force an end of
hostilities. On the contrary, it is q war
between the leading powers OF Europe
and if Berlin or Paris is taken that
would only accentuate the bitterness and
the persistency of the struggle. Just as
no one could have foreseen that the
war would be of such magnitude as it is.
so it is idle to speculate as to when it
will end or how long it will require one
side to exhaust the other.
1.-THE Presidents policy of maintain
ing strict neutrality is in keeping with
the policy laid down by Washington and
SO widely followed by the first Presi-
dents administration through the Napo-
leonic wars. What he succeeded in do
ing when we were a small nation under
periis that threatened our very exist
ence, we certainly viii do and must do
now. Whatever our individual opinions,
our national attitude must remain neu-
trail beyond reproach. The time may
come-in fact, must come-when our
good offices of mediation Will be the
hope and the tangible instrument in
bringing about cessation of hostilities. and
this hope can only be realized by follow
ing the policy of neutrality.

Special Correspondence of Tie Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, September i.-Ow-
ing to the statewide prohibition fight now
on. two OF Alexandria's glass factories
will not reopen tomorrow for their work
after the annual summer close-down.
They will await the result of the state
wide election September - and If Viz
Einia goes dry they will remain closed.
The weekly pay roll of these two fac
tories will amount to about 5000. as
they give employment to a large force
The factories to remain closed are the
Belle Pre- and the Virginia.
The Old Dominion and Alexandria Glass
companies will open tomorrow morning
for work as usual after the annual close
down. The Old Dominion will start out
with only about one-half of the help
It usually employs, as Il result of the
prohibition fight.
The Old Dominion factory manufac-
large quantities of whisky TASKS and
beer bottles, and its products are sold
throughout the state. The Alexandria
Glass Company manufactures mostly Dot
Ties for medicinal purposes.
Announcement that the closing of fac
tories is due to the unsettled conditions
IN Virginia, because of the statewide
prohibition campaign, was made by
Lorenzo Wolford. president OF the Old
Dominion Glass Company.
Aiexandria's glass trade is one of its
principal industries, and it is argued that
should the state vote dry it would mean
a big financial loss to the city, as most
of the glass blowers now living here
would be compelled to locate elsewhere.

Big Battle Near Between From
100000 to 100000
Soldiers Trained for

BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-From the iron
hand of the military censorship there
escapes only enough to show that the
Germans are operating on a vast scale
in an endeavor TO advance all along
the huge battle line that threatens the
weakest defences of France and that
the French and British forces have
effected a junction to oppose the wave
of teutOnic warriors.
The big battle is near. The gigan-
tic armies numbering from 1000. 900
to 1000, 600 men trained for slaughter
by all the devices of civilization" can
perfect, are almost at death grips.
This is shown by the tightening Of
the censorship here and the following
announcement from the Belgian min
istry of war at Brussels:
I'm view of the present disposition
Of the French and Belgian armies it
has been decided in the interest of the
country not to make any further an
nouncement of the movement of the
armies.

triotism Of the press TO maintain si-
lence on the military operations. The

ROME, Aug. 15.-Sir John
French, commander of the
British forces in Belgium, and
Gen. Jofre, commander-in-
chief of the French forces,
having effected a juncture
with the Belgium forces, have
planned a long line defensive
assault on the Germans, ac-
cording to a report received
here from the frontier, and
the skirmishing of the past
week is fast leading up to a
fierce engagement.
The plan is to wipe the
Mediterranean and Adriatic of
the German feet simultane-
ously with the battle on land.
ltaly's position on account of
the purchase of the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau
is gradually shifting more and
more toward favoritism for
England and her allies. Tur-
key has threatened that any
attempt to modest her in her
enjoyment of her new acquisi-
tons will mean a declaration
of war against England and
