thinks EUROPEAN WAR
WILL LAST IS MONTHS
Jerome K. Jerome Says Conflict Has
Become One Of Resources and
Britain Will Win.

That the European war will be waged
for at least eighteen months, and that
all Europe expects the conflict will not
elapsed, was the statement made last
night by Jerome K. Jerome, English
author and playwright, who arrived In
Washington yesterday from London.
Though I know the whole American
nation, as well as all the world Is look
ing hopefully for the first glimmer OF
peace" said Mr.. Jerome, Il cannot but
repeat the prediction OF military experts
that the duration of this war will be
eighteen months at the minimum and
three years at the maximum.
The conflict has resolved itself into
one OF resourceS-of men and money.
and men will be most important, for
It has been shown that nations do. in
some mysterious way, procure money
with which to wage war. But. by the
time this war Is finished, the world
will have had its dose OF war and I
look for a long era OF peace. Three
generations is the time estimated for
Europe to recover. and 1 think II will
be more than three generations before
war again disturbs the world peace.
But now. we are at war, and. you
see, we've got to get to Berlin Eng
land can see nothing but victory in
stronger we grow and the weaker
grows Germany. Germany's fighting
line at no time can exceed 100000
men, despite absurd exaggerations to
the contrary. England expects to have
1000. 900 in the field in eighteen
months time, and when eighteen
months have elapsed England's force
will be as strong as Germanys, man
for man.
I'VE put T75,0Oo men in the field when
the war started. We now have $4,000
men fighting, OF which about 1000 are
Indians and about 5000 Canadians and
Australians In view Of exaggerated
figures which have been printed that may
seem like a small army. but every soldier
on the fighting line must have at least
two men waiting on him, men in the
clerical force, in the commissariat and
in dozens Of other kinds OF work. A na-
tion cannot put more than about 5 per |
cent of its population on the fighting |
line"
Mr. Jerome will lecture tomorrow aft |
ernoon at the Belasco Theater. His sub |
ject will be Confessions OF a Play |

plays for about thirty years He is stop |
