SITION TO END WAR IN SHORT
WHILE
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, March 22.--The Times mil
itary correspondent admits that Eng
land, France and Russia are still short
of much necessary war material, and
that Germany's preparedness in this
respect has been one of the heaviest
handicaps that the Allies have had to
contend with.
The result OF this war depends more
upon material than any other great
conflict in history" adds the CORES
pondent. The Entente powers we're
all short of material when the war be-
gan, but they are making up leeway
very fast. Before long their equipment
will be complete, and from that mo-
ment onward they will be in position
to bring into play their large numeri-
cal preponderance.
For only a short time more, they
have to stand on the defensive, holding
their armies on the defensive and
stunning adventures for which this is
not the moment The hour for the Of
fensive will come, but it has not come
yet and it is the greatest mistake in
the world to display impotence and to
expect to Gull the fruits of victory be-
fore victory is ripe"

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 22.-
Europe has still today one utterly

pilgrims upon an eternal wander-path,

whence they came has never been
settled to a certainty. All manner of
fables have been spun to explain their
origin. Since they first appeared upon
the stage of Europe in the Middle
Ages, they have been identified with
the Lost Tribes of Israel, the mixed
multitude that followed Moses out OF
Egypt, the Canaanites, the Amorites,
the Saracens and the Egyptians. Some
have held them to be the Children o.
Cain. and others have decided that they
were the children of the Wandering
Jew and inheritors of the restless
curse of their father.
The gypsies, themselves, have never
professed to know who they were CT
where they came from, but they have
shown great readiness to accept the
conclusions on this subject Of the peo'

their proneness for fortune-telling,
necromancy, black magic, and their
unwillingness for work in all forms
soon called down upon them bitter per-
secutions in Germany, England, France
and the Netherlands. In the Balkans,
Russia, Hungary and Poland, they were
we'll treated and they are found in
these countries in great numbers to-
day. 1t is estimated that Europe has
