WAR WILL LAST FOR TWO YEARS
 SAYS DIPLOMAT

WASHINGTON.-That the war in Europe will last well into 1918, and possibly longer. in his opinion. IS he assertion of John Barrett. director of the general Pan-American Union, who has just returned home from a visit to Europe. He issued a state- nent to that effect when interviewed by local newspaper men upon the results of hls trip.
 Mir. Barrett says that his opinion Is based on statements made to him by British and French officials and busi- ness men. The majority of them. he says. concurred in the opinion tha. the war will probably last for two more years at the latest The reason, says Mir. Barrett. Is that the re- sources of the Germans will last at least two years and possibly longer.

to see wha; mistakes. if any. were made. We are all wise in cur after thoughts. Only the really great minds are wise in their premoniuons. Whatever course is to be pursued can only be pronounced the best course after events have proved it so.
 Gould the leaders of Europe have fersssen ths uauilerGbls horrors of this war they would never have let spoh trifls ss the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince lead to anything other than the legal trial of somebody or ther for murder. Agreat war was expected but not of the mag nitude and duration of the struggle tl.Gt has occurred. And so II may be that historians looking back to !he last month of 1916 will say that had the allies been able to foresee the re- suits of their dicision they never would have done whatever 1t is they ere about to do.
