WAR OPINIONS.

The question of most interest
to the world is, when will the
war end? All writer's on the sub
ject agree that it will not end UNI
der two and may continue for
ten years. 1t is war of more
worldwide Importance that has
ever occurred in recorded his
tory, II is a question Of a worlds
kingdom based on military pow
err, or the destruction Of the pow
ers of military autocrats. That
the first years contest has result
ed in advantage to the military
genius Of the would-be world
wide kingdom cannot be ques-
toned. The few prepared have
outdone the many unprepared.
The result depends on he W does
the preparation now stand and
which has the greater resources
OF men. All A H kinds Of machines
and ammunitions are now COM
ing from the factories of all the
world. Soon it will not be a ques-
ton of guns and war supplies,
but men to handle them.
Germany started out with the
best of everything and all their
trained soldiers. They are fast
dwindling in numbers. Daily
they are being killed, wounded
and captured. Are the Allies
suffering as much are more? Ger
tainly they are, but they have
untold men yet to see service.
Russia alone can put twenty mil
lion soldiers in the field in two
years if needed. England can
put untold numbers from her
home lands as we'll as millions
from her outstanding territories.
France. like Germany, has most
Of her men in line. 1t is not a
question of money, guns and pro-
visions, but of men. With all
the efficiency of the German for
ces, he cannot stand onslaughts
which have no limitation. At
present it looks like the end Of
advances by Germany was reach
ed and from now on it will be q
defensive fight they will make.

Gunmlaugson, night operator at the
telephone exchange in Park River, are
in the hospital at the latter place as a
result Of injuries received in an auto
accident which occurred on the streets
Of Park River a few nights ago. A
party Of five was made up to drive in
the country to dance. When the
driver met the machine belonging to
Joe Coulter, he accidentally turned
toward him, and Coulter's axle caught
the Johnson car in such manner as to
turn it completely around and tip it
over, injuring the two somewhat, but
not fatally. Miss Gunmlaugson was
unconscious for several hours but has
not suffered internal injuries John
son had some bad cuts about the face
and neck, while Miss Moe, another
occupant of the car, came out with a
