THREE YEARS MORE OF WAR.
William E. Corey Says That Is View
of Allies.

NEW YORK. August 3.-The allies
are preparing to continue the war for at
least three years more, if necessary, &C
cording to William E. Corey, former
president of the United States Steel
Corporation who arrived yesterday in
the French liner Epagne from Bordeaux.
Mr.. Corey said it was problema teal a
to whether the allies would like to see
the United States enter the war, but
he thought they would rather have the
financial than military aid of this coun-
try. He added that Russia would re-
quire some time to reorganiZe, and
that much material, especially manu-
featured iron, was needed in that coun-
try now. This condition. he said, would
make good business in the United
States. Mr.. Corey and his wife went to
France four months ago. They have
been staying at their chateau near
Paris, which Mrs. Corey opened to con-
valescent soldiers.
