ing close to 1000 men. Work on the
main buildings is now complete, as it
also is on the state and county groups
and on the structures along the Ala
media. The Isthmus, the amusement
street, is well advanced, with the en-

The cost of the japanese exhibits
at the San Diego exposition is now
estimated by S. Watanabe, who is in
complete charge, at S250,000. Some
of the finest worries he has placed in
a gigantic case of carved cherry with
inlaid wood which he values at S10,-
coo. This stands in the center of the
industrial display in the Foreign and
Domestic Arts building. A more typ
ical display is that of the Japanese
pavilion and tea gardens, placed in
the rear of the Botanical gardens,
overlooking one of the canyons.
The approach to the pavilion is over
the Bridge of Long Life" spanning
a shallow pool about which is a.
dense copse of wistaria, hollywood and
curious little Japanese trees and
ferns with an occasional bright splash
of color. The paths to the canyon
are lined with fragrant flowers and
the open pavilion itself is mass of
floral decoration. Some of the expert
wood carvings of Japan appear here
as well.
The third of the Japanese exhibits
is placed on the Isthmus and takes |
the form of concession, introducing
quaint japanese games and a small |
theatre. Watanabe looks on this as

How Long Will War Last?
Brings Varied Answers

II need hardly say these unsolicited
assurances evoke a grateful echo in
our hearts"
By Lieut.. Col. Rousset-France's
most prominent military critic-"It
is utterly impossible to predict the
limit of the war. Both sides are fight
| ing n battle of trenches similar to
that at Sebastopol, which it took two
years to capture.
"The Germans will continue to make
/ terrific endeavors to break through,
but VIC can check them. We have two
million fresh troops ready not far
from the front while there are other
new armies in the south. In the long
run Germany must give way to star
vatiol. The Anglo-French blockade
of Turkey further complicates the
German food problem"
By T. L. O'Connor-Member Of
Parliament and editor of NJ. A. P
"My impression is that the war will
last :. good while yet. The only terms
that the allies can detide upon will be
terms that Germany will refuse un
less she is defeated, and that will take
some time"
BY Josephus Daniels-Secretary of
the United States Navy-T would not
even dare guess at it. No man in this
country can know enough about the
forces, their position and their capac-
ity in Europe to make prediction.
"Thc consensus of opinion of mill
tary men, both in the navy and in the
army, who have made a study of the
war, is that it will tast through next
year."
Some high authorities among the
twenty-five to whom the question was
put by the International News Service
said that it may go two years. One of
the very highest authorities in the
Navy Department, whose name carries
weight around the world, said:
"The answer to the question is made
by Great Britain herself who, I notice
is calling for million more men as
soldiers. That means that Great
Britain and the other allies know that
even if they push Germany into her
own territory, Germany will then only
have begun the long struggle against
those who mean to conquer her, Just
row there is scarcely any use to talk
about the end of the war when Ger
many is fighting beyond her own ter
ritory, with a navy yet untouched and
e. people at home ready to supply the
sinews of war"
By One Who Usually Knows-An
international banker in New York,
whose judgment is priced very highly,
member of powerful firm-"The war
will be over within six months.
By Frank A. Vanderlip-Head of
the National City Bank of New York,
which has just loaned $10,0OO,OOO to
France.-Although still confined to
his home in Scarborough, where he is
convalescing from slight attack Of
typhoid fever, Mr.. Vanderlip sent the
following:

sistance and the relatively small gains

By Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood
of the British Army-"I can only say
until the German war party is beaten.
By Sir George Reid-High Commits
sioner of the Commonwealth of Au-
stralia-T think the war would have
lasted perhaps two or three years if
the commercial choking process were
not being steadily applied to German
ocean commerce"
By Isaac N. Seligman-Head of J.
& w. Seligman of New York, inter
national bankers.-"I will feel well
satisfied if the war does not last long
er than from one year to eighteen
months"

The International News Servic,
asked by cable and telegraph few
of the most eminent soldiers, states
men and bankers-the best informed
men in the world-in London, Paris
Washington and New York, the ques,
ton: "How long will the war last -
Here are the replies received:
By Lord Kitchener-'1t will be a
long war"
By Car of Russia-(Throu the
London Daily Telegraph correspon-
dent at Petrograd)-"There can be
10 Eeace negotiations before the
enemy is completely crushed"
By Lord Observation-Disclosures of
the Dondon Daily Mail and other
leading publications-"Expert opinion
considers that the war will be over
by August. / am not an expert, my
war experience being limited to some
days in France with the French and
British armies, but / think it will drag
on much longer. Modern warfare is
siege warfare. And sieges in trenches
apparently last much longer than
sieges in fortresses, so that the driv-
ing back of the Germans in to the
trenches they have prepared on their
own side of the Rhine must newt
sbly last an almost indefinite period.
The value of the territory of Belgium
has also been prepared for a retreat.
Although German plans of forty
four years were smashed the day the
Germans retreated from Paris, from
reading ten or twelve German news
papers daily, I see that their unfor-
tunaIe readers have yet not been told
of this calamity nor of the lamentable
conditions of the German armies in
Belgium, France, East Prussia and
Poland. The Prussians will delay re-
vealing their horrible secret until the
last minute.
Modern battles are slow. The Ger
mans have now for one month been

BY JOHN EDWIN NEyIN
United Press Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, May 7--Reports of
almost continuous Constitutionalist
successes i'll Northern Mexico today
cleared the atmosphere materially so
far as the United States is concerned.
The President and his advisers be-
lieve that before the A. 3. C. medi-
ators begin their work at Niagara
Falls, Ont, Carranza will head the
entire North. They are equally con-
fident that so soon as this condition
is brought about they will eliminate
Huerta or he will be eliminated.
If Huerta can be eliminated there is
not an official here familiar with the
entire Mexican situation who doubts
that a common ground could be
quickly found on which all of the
warning factions in Mexico would be
brought together.
Consider U. s. Delegates.
Meanwhile the administration is
carefully considering it's representa-
ton at the Niagara Falls conference.
Fully score of names have been sug-
gested to the President. However,
until it is definitely settled whether
there is to be one or three representa-
tives selection will not be made. At
present it is considered almost GER
tain that If Secretary of the Interior
Lane can arrange the business of his
office he will be chosen. Lane has
been a strenuous advocate of quick
action with Mexico, having insisted
all along that Huerta was "bluffing"
in every move, and that he would get
out in hurry if his bluff was

Sailors Equipped With
Khaki Uniforms in Case
They Are Needed Ashore

VERA CRUZ, May 7.-Another step
toward the complete preparedness of
the American forces here to meet any
emergency was taken today when the
fleet received 5000 khaki uniforms for
the bluejackets in case they should
be called upon for service ashore. The
conspicuousness of the white uniform
worn by many of the sailors of the
landing parties cost many lives dur
ing the first days of the occupation of
Vera Cruz. Many of the bluejackets
at that time dipped their white uni
forms in coffee or muddy water in
order to darken them, but this pro-
cess did not avail them very much.
The organization of the sailors has
now been completed and if ordered
to land they will be formed into three
distinct regiments.
The men of the fleet will soon re-
sumo small arms practise. Rear Ad-
miral Charles j. Badger has decided
to send the vessels to sea one at a
time for this purpose.

Eleven Americans, Sought
for Week by U. S. Consul,
Reach Vera Cruz in Safety

VERA CRUZ, May 7.-Eleven
Americans whom Consul Canada had
been endeavoring for week to res
cue, have succeeded in escaping from
the southern district and arrived
here yesterday on board a fishing
boat. They came from five different
localities and congregated at Santafe
on the Poloapam river running
through a jungle country.
The heat and innumerable insects
added to their sufferings, and after
they had embarked at Santafe to go
to the coast they were subjected to
insults and jeers from crowds of ma
tives, who at one time stoned them
from the banks.
Mrs. C. Fl. Everett, from Candel-
aria, was the only woman among the
party, which included r. c.. H. P.
and A. II. Gould and Paul Steele, of
San Gabriel, near Playa Vicente;
Walter Barker, F.. d. A. Carpenter
and Leroy Ault, of Pasa del Cura;
Charles McKim, Howard w. Hill, of
Playa Vicente, and E. NJ. Sieg, of
Cosima Lopam.
The fishing boat was manned by
Mexicans who had been told they
would be given ten pesos a head for
refugees and who had been securing
the coast for such a cargo. They
picked up the party at Alvarado, a
small port to the south of Vera Cruz,
and brought them here.

Urge Women Delegates to
Constitutional Convention

NEW YORK, May IA movement
to place women in nomination for
delegates to the coming State Con-
stitutional Convention Is under way
in this city, it was announced after
a dinner last night at the residence
of Miss Cornelia Bryce. A woman
candidate will be offered in many dis
tricts in the State, If the movement
gains Roadway.
Initiators of the plan reported that
Attorney General Thomas Carmody
had expressed the opinion that wom-
en- are not ineligible to serve as dis
trict delegates under the State con-
stitution The only body which can
decide the question, he was quoted as
saying, is the convention itself Sew
eral women were nominated for the
constitutional convention of 1894, it
was mentioned, and though none
were elected, their eligibility was not
questioned

there is little more they can do until
they get to Canada. They have
sounded out Huerta and his repre-
sentatiyes unofficially and have had
frequent conferences with Bryan
They believe they are now in posi-
ton to frame their initial proposals
which are to form the framework for
the hoped-for common agreement.
Deny Rebels Quarrel.
According to the information made
public here today by Raphael Suba-
ran, secretary of the interior in the
Carranza provisional cabinet, San
Luis Potosi. Tampico and Mazatlan
are all under arms by the rebels. In
each case Subaran declares they will
be in possession of Carranza's forces
by the early part of next week at
the latest, Subaran denied reports
that there are any serious differences
of opinion between Carranza and his
chief field officers, especially Villa.
Renewed appeals have been re-
ceived by the state department from
the oil companies doing business in
the Tampico field asking for protec-
ton of their property. Secretary
Bryan as a result has communicated
with Carranza again urging the ne
cessity of conducting no offensive
operations in the vicinity of the oil
wells and also suggesting that the
storage tanks be protected as much
as possible. Admiral Mayo, through
Admiral Badger, reported information
transmitted to him of plan of the
ConstitutionaIists to burn the stor-
age tanks in an effort to force the
Federal gunboats to steam from the
river, and Bryan has called the atten-
ton of the Constitutionalists to the
fact that such action is prohibited by
the rules of civilized warfare.

thrush of Refugees
Threatens to Deplete
Vera Cruz Food Supply

WASHINGTON. May Z. - Vera
Cruz's food supply again is in danger
of depletion. Secretary Garrison said
last night that the reports from Gen
eral Funston showed many people are
coming into Vera Cruz from Mexico
City and other large towns, and that
because Vera Cruz is already over
crowded the consumption of food
daily exceeds the amount brought in.
He said that more than 200 refugees
arrived at Vera Cruz yesterday, and
a still larger number was expected
today.
The secretary stated there was
abundant testimony from many
sources that the inhabitants of Vera
Cruz are much pleased with the con-
duct of the officers who are admins
tering the civil government. "All OBJ
servers" he added, remark upon the
exemplary conduct of our troops"
