GLORIOUS VICTORY.

All! We all are victorious
these days. We Germans, we
English. we Russians and We

"Our heroic soldiers have
moved down the enemy by the
thousands. The fields Of mines
exploded with wonderful pre-
cision. Battalions Of infantry
scared in the sky, and for minutes
after it rained hands and feet.

''The machine guns cut wide

O. STO RI
WILL THE WAR BE SHORT?

The popular impression in this
country seems to be that the war
in Europe will be very short
one, and certainly all Chriten-
dom fervently prays that it will
end soon. Countless columns Of
argument have been written to
shN that it is utterly impOssi-
b' for the war to endure more
tn. a few weeks on account Of
the enormous loss of life and
treasure; on account of the impos-
slb!jity Of the belligerents feed
Jog themselves; because the ma
.i", engaged are Christian ma
t.. 5: because al must recognize
the futility Of it all; because the
peace parties in the several coun-
tres will force an end to war;
because the diplomats will get
tt ðer and patch up peace; be-
ca, Sc the sentiment for peace in
the world is overwhelming, and
so on.
But there are some reasons why
the war may endure for many
n onths and might stretch into
! years, although there is always
the possibility that it will end as
suddenly as it began, with some
great battle in which there will
be an appalling loss of life.
But it will take at least one or
two tremendous and Overwhelm-
ing defeats to convince Germany
that she can not win, and as long
as Germany believes she can win,
what chance is there for the war
to enda
The German government is
largely controlled by its military
branch. For generations the
sentiment and policy Of the Ger
man army has been that the war
must come sooner or later, and
1, German officers have toasted oder
Tag" the day when the Father
land should be arrayed in battle
against Europe. They have been
taught that it must come and
that when it came Germany.
would win; that she would profit
bv winning and that no matter
what the combinations against
her. German preparedness, Ger
'man efficiency and German valor
would be certain to win in the
end. Not only has Germany be-
lieved that for years, but she be-
l;eves it now. and she will con-
tinue to believe it until she has
been overwhelmed. No mere re-
verse will do the trick. No Wa
terloo will whip Germany. The
Germans will stand as much
beating as any nation on earth,
and POSSIBLY shade more than
any Of the great powers.
When it is remembered that
the Germans believe that the Ger
man national life depends on win.
ing. it will be seen that the Ger
mans are going to fight to the
last dreadful extremity.
But this is not all. England |
and France are in nearly the
same fix as Germany. For each
of them the national life depends
on keeping Germany from be-
striding Europe. If. Germany
wins. goodbye to England's SUI
on the sea, and farewell
to some of her colonial posses
sions. If Germany wins, she be-
comes the first commercial pow.
Ell Of Europe, with only one rival
III the world. the United States.
France will become not quite a
second rate power, but not equal
to Germany. There will be only
one first rate power in Europe
and that will be Germany.
