ANOTHER YEAR
OF THE WAR
Germany Does Not Expect
Peace to Come Before
That Time.
GBy Carl w. Ackerman, United Press

BERLIN, August 2.-Speakers
throughout the empire at yesterdays
honorable peace" meetings agreed
that there will be another year of the
war. Reports of these meetings re-
ceived today emphasized the unity OF
feeling in this respect among the pub
lie. Speakers who delivered the
same speech to audiences In forty
nine cities outside of Berlin and at
the meeting here at the capital, were
greeted by massed crowds and the ut
most enthusiasm was evoked by the
definition Of Germany's position as to
the termination of the war.
It was apparent. however, judging
from reports of all these meetings,
that German public opinion is unit
in the belief that on the basis Of Ger
many's accomplishments to date,
peace cannot come about on the basis
OF conditions prior to the war.
The national committee" which
the government formed to foster the
honorable" peace meetings was said
in well-informed circles today to
have been devised as measure with
which to bridge the differences be-
tween the socialists and conservatives
SO that Germany may present united
front when peace does eventually
come.
