Does the End Draw Near7

The market place sees the end, in Ru-
mania's entrance into the war. Looking
at the day alone, at the event in its most
limited sense. Rumana's declaration, by
placing one more war embargo upon the
operations of an agricultural, wheat
raising country. might be supposed to
have increased the price of wheat But
there is a little more strategical sense on
Chicago's Board OF Trade than that. Be
hind the closed gate OF the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles, in Russia's ware
houses. there is an enormous stock OF
wheat. The debacle of the central en-
pires, threatened by this latest choice OF
sides. would release all this wheat. II
would break the monopoly of the Amer
lean continent The streams of world
supply would flow again. Chicago sees
the beginning of the end
For this end America, as well as the
rest of the world, will pray, though the
crash may disturb the advantage which
America has gained as the granary, the
munitions factory. the storehouse OF the
world. We are not quite such abandoned
dollar-chasers as the Europeans suppose.
For the end of a great conflict, peans OF
Thanksgiving would be sent up from ten
thousands fanes throughout our land.
Yet the expectation of this result at an
early date must not be eXtravagant. The
war is not over yet, and will not be Tor
some time. 1t was long time from
July A. 1868, when the southern Conted-
eracv COLLAPSED" at Gettysburg and
Nicksburg, to the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox. The power of resistance in
the central empires and their southeast
ern allies. like that of the Confederacy
after Gettysburg, is not yet broken
Though events may move rapidly, an
other hard and cruel winter will close
upon the warlike scene with the armies
still at grips.
Ten nations of the world are now ar
rayed in warfare against five, and since
the war must be decided by the prepon-
derance of resources of men and money,
and the resources of the ten allies enor-
mouslv outweigh those of the Teuton
empires, with Turkey and Bulgaria, there
can be but one result, the central en-
pires must be beaten. But how soon
Only the test of battle, of military abiI-
ity of courage and tenacity, will tell.
1t will not be in a day, nor In month
nor in single campaign, however bril-
liant that may be.
For many months the world has await
cd the breakdown of the German psy-
chology. There are signs OF its appear,
ance. No people were ever so deceived
as the German people have been. They
have known little of their real situation.
They are beginning to find it out. Their
wrath at the betrayal may suddenly
rise. Let us hope that some such ex-
plosion will take place, and hasten the
final catastrophe. America, humane to
the core. is tired even of the prosperity
that rests upon awful Observation-Disclosures
